charged bis duty honorab.y and faithfully,
and TO the entire satisfaction of the peo-
pie.

the present accursed rebellion to over
throw the government and destroy the
Union Of the States as founded bv our ia
lhers, Frederick Solomon was one of the
first to volunteer his services in behalf Of
the government, and as Captain of a VOL
unteer company he discharged his whole
duty and won laure,s for himself and his
country.
Resolrea, That afterwards, when COM
missioned Colonel, he raised Regiment
Of volunteers in less time than has been
done by any other officer, and that he
commanded said Regiment on the march
and in the field with unquestioned ability,
and to the entire satisfaction of bis men
and the country.
Resolvea, That after being promoted to
the office which he now holds, for the
ability and bravery which he had before

ties of military commander. and that to
those qualities the country is indebted for

under his command at tie battle of Uele>

| which is one of the most brilliant of the

to health as to be able to leave us for the
field of carnage, and to fight again for the
glorious cause Of his country, he carries
with him our prayers for his safety at the
post Of danger, and our hopes that after
he has won new laurels and peace is re-.
stored, he will return to hi. home, his
