Con. Hooker has issued the following fare
well address
In conformity with orders from tina War
Department, dated June 9th, / relinquish
command of the Armyofthe Potomae-Ftiz
transferred to Major General george T.. Meade,
q brave and accomplished Officer, who was mo-
bly, earned the confidence of the Army on
many well fought fields. Impressed with the
belief that my usefulness as COMMANDER of the
Army of the Potomac is impaired, yet I part
from it not without the deepest emotion. The
sorrow of parting with the comrades of so
many battles is relieved by the conviction that
tho courage and devotion of this Army will
never cease nor fail, and that it will yield to
my successor, as it has to, me, a hearty and
willing support. With the earnest prayer
that the triumph of its arms may bring sue
cesses worthy of it and the Nation, I bid it
farewell. M 4ars4er ~ s5f-,
