With heartfelt qualification, the General Com

heroic conduct displayed by the officers and
men during the arduous operations in which
they have just been engaged, under trying
vicissitudes of heat and storm,
You attacked the enemy, strongly entrench-
ed in the depths Of tangled wilderness aud
again CT the hill of Fredericksburg, fifteen
miles distant, and by valor that has triumph
ed on many fields, forced him once more to
seek safety beyond tho Rappahanuock.-
While this glorious victory entities you to
the praise and gratitude Of the nation, we are
especially called upon to return our grateful
thanks to the only Giyer of Victory for the
signal deliyerance he has wrought. 1t is
therefore earnestly recommended that the

the Lord Of Hosts the glory due his name
Let US not forget in our rejoicing, the brave
soldiers VINO have fallen in defence Of their
country, and while we mourn their loss,
let us resolve to emulate their noble example.
The army and the country alike regret the
absence for time Of one, to whose courage
and skill they are so much indebted for sue

The following from the President Of the
