R,ielued, That We will, in every lawful and

down this Rebellion that we irown indignant

the efforts of one portion Of our Legislature,
calculated in their very nature to give aid and
comfort to rebels and discourage and dishssrten
our brave army, meet with our deepest detesta.

traiterous acts the civilized world in all coming
time will assign them place in public esteem,

Gen. WOols Speech to the Rhode Island

the condition Of the country

conferred upon me. 1t was entirely unexpect

mention it merely to show that these honors
were all unexpected to me In 1860 | called
upon my oountrymen to devote tLems Ives to
the defence OF our country aud to preserve the
Union. This war came upon us rather sooner
than had anticipated
Our condition now IS full Of great peril. Not
that we have not means enough ana men enough
to have succeeued in putting down the rebellion
ot once, but unfortunately we were without ex-
perIence, Nearly million OF men have been
brought into the GeId without any experience,
and therefore if everything las net gone as you
might have expected, it must be ascrbed to in
experience. That you may say Of all, from the
head Of the nation down to the private soldier.
We ought not, however, llom these clrcum-
stances to despair. We have a country which
is invaluable. All the rights which man could
desire, liberty Of speech, Liberty Of action, right
OF suffrage, right Of bearing arms, and as it ha.
been heretofore, you would hardly know there
was Government. Civil war has brought evils
With 1t that are inevitable. The exercise Of ar
bltrary power has been necessary IN some cases.
Ny own view Of the subject is that as our
hand is on the plow we ought never to look back.
20 for the country, the whole country and
nothing but the country am opposed to all
compromises and lines Of demarcltion, going
upon this principle, tlatl you allow separation
TO begin, you can't tell where ii will end In
stead Of one government you will have thirty
four. When separated, If we can't find lor-
oign enemies to fight we shall fight among our
selves. The object should be to settle this ques-
ton now, and not entail 1t upon our children and
our children's children. My object has been to
call your attention seriously to put down thi.
rebellion | thank you foT ycur generous re-
cep;ion.

Mr.. EDToR,-This will inform you that the
18th has not as ye! changed its camp, although
we had orders yesterday to be ready at mo-
ments notice, with two days ratisls and forty
round, of cartridges. This order comes so often
We h,ve almost got used to it, and do not give il
tue attention we should. We are here at pres
ent stuck in Virginia mud, and know not when
the powers that be will release us.
Since my last letter to you Co. II. has met
with serious loss indeed death has taken from
US one Of our noblest md best soldiers. Eli Ri
cord Of Woodbury., ffsr of our company died OF
pneumonia, on Thursday last, about 10 O'Clock in
the morning He had been sick but few days
and was taken i'll very suddenly. A vote of the
Company was taken and committee appointed
to send the bodies OF those who died here home
to their friends, the Company unanimously agree
ing to the proposition. Lieut. Slayton, Corp. Cor
liss and Private Reynolds we're appointed a COM
miltee 10 superintend matters, and money enough
vas obtained to have his remains embalmed and
sent home to his relatives, On Friday morning
the Company proceeded to where bis remains lay,
and after few remarks from our Chaplain, and
beautiful and appropriate prayer, in which he
spoke feelngy in regard to the deceased, the re-
mains were sent to Washington in charge of pri-
1ate Reynolds, Co. II, who Immediately tele.
graphed to his friends. By the death of Eli Ri
cord we lose kind friend and tru, and devoted
soldier ever ready to do his duty, no matter when
called on. His memory will be cherished by US
aIl and bis place in the Company cannot be filled.
w. deeply sympathize with his parents and fimi-
ly Let them take to their hearts the consolation
that be was engaged in the performance Of a sa-
cred duty, and,
