stroyed the very framework Of

81 am speaking the farewell
words Of one who has shown
his devotion to his country, at
the peril of his life and fortune,
who in these words can have
neither hope nor interest, save
the good of those whom he adj

with all the solemnity of an APP

forced upon me by experience.
"Come, then, to the uncondi-

great prosperity assured to you

led to bclieve) marshaled by their
ablest Generals, posted in n

lection, prepared and ready TO
attack us, entertaining toward Us
feelings of hatred and iiendish
passion, worked by infamous lies
which even rebel Generals should
have disdained to utter; YOU. Eel.
low. soldiers, after a forced march
Of over one HUNDRED miles IN less
than three DAYS, weary, exhaust
ed. and almost lami shed, ANNA
ted only by that feeling Of patri
otism that induced YOU to give
up the pleasures and comforts Of
home to undergo the dangers and
hardship OF the field, did most
gallantry meet, fight and repulse
the enemy. Your ielIow-sol-
diers elsewhere, your friends and
relatives at home, your fellow
citizens and your country, as
they learn of the splendid service
OF the artillerynen. OF the deter
mined, daring, and brilliant
charges Of the infantry; will rem
der you that praise and honor
which is justly your due. Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, wisconsin and
Missouri, your native States, are
proud Of their noble sons.
|, myself, tender you grateful
thanks for the services you have
rendered. Whilst we drop a
tear, therefore, for those who
have fallen, and sympathize
with those who are yet suffering,
let us not forget to render thanks
to the benefcient giver of all
blessings for the success that has
thus far attested the truth and
right of our glorious cause.

with great satisfaction This APP

your man, take deliberate aim
as low as the knee, and fire.
I'd, When occasion offers be
certain to pick off the enemy's
officers, especially the mounted
ones; aim to kill his artillery hor-
ses.
Sd. Don't shout except when
YOU charge the enemy, as a gen.
eral thing; keep silent that orders
may be heard; obey your officers
and pay no attention to words oil
unauthorized persons.
4th. Don't stop with your
wounded comrads, the surgeon
and Intimacy corps will take
care o! them; do you go forward
to avenge them.
9th. Don't break ranks to
plumber; if we whip the enemy
all he has will be ours, II not
the spoils will be OF no benefit to
us. Plunderers and straglers will
be put to death on the spot; file
closers are especially charged
with this duty; the cavalry In
rear will likewise attend TO it.
Remember that the enemy en-
gagged have no feelings of mercy
or kindness toward you. His
ranks are composed of Pin lndi-
ans, free Negroes, Southern to-
ries, Kansas Jayhawkers, and
hired Dutch ut-throats. These
bloody ruflians have invaded
your country, stolen and destroy

neighbors, outraged your women
driven your children from their
homes, and de6led The graves Of
your kindred. If each of you
will do what | have here urged
upon You, we will utterly destroy
them. We can do it. We must
do it or our country will be ruin

TIE LATE BATTLES.

In the field very important
movements have tteen made and
great successes achieved. After
a series of battles, extending
through whole week of time,
General Rosecrans has moved on
to, and now occupies, the ene-
my's works at Murfreesboro.
This result has not been gained
without hard fighting, great sac
rifices and loss OF life. The
start was made from Nashville
the day after Christmas. The
first engagement was between
McCook and Hardee, near Nasa-
Vile. Our forces were several
times driven back for a time and
thrown into confusion; but, still
rallying aud pressing on, the ul-
innate result was the defeat OF
the rebels and their retreat II
their stronghold at Tullahoma.
our forcees occupying Murlrees-
boro with our wounded. From
the best we can learn our loss
in killed and wounded is about
1000. We lost 10 Colonies
killed. About 1900 Of our mep
were taken prisoners.

The indianapolis Journa',

General Blunt is at it again.
He will have to be cashiered.-
What business has General to
be fighting and pushing ahead

ton or "suppIies.' and IN the
face OF superior force? 1t is pre-
postcrous. Successful he NAV
be, but success SO contrary 10 pre-

never do. Won't ebody

that he is Smelling llinlman a

run away he means to cross over
and fight him He also saws
that ne captured four steamboat
instead of three, as first stated,
and three of them were heavily
loaded with supplies. He also
got a large amount Of ammuul-
ton. In tact he has made the
enemy furnish him the means to
march and fight. But, as we
said before, this sort OF thing
won't do. This wav OF fight.
