In the long and bloody war in which
your country is engaged, you have achiev
ed many noble triunphs. You have Won
glorious victories over vastly more numer-
oas hosts. You have cheeitul.y borne pri-
vatons aud toll to which you were unns-
ed. You have readily snbi1 itted to re-
strain,s upon your individual will, that
the citizen might better perform his duly
to the State as a soldier. To all these yon
have lately added another triumph, the
noblest OF human conqnests- victory oy-
er yourselves. e"sf Is >s7
AS the time drew near when you who
first entered the service might we'll have
been expected to caitn relief from your
arduous iabors and restoration to the en-
dearments of home, you have needed only
the call OF your suffering country. Again
you come TO tender your service for the
public defence--a free /, fering Which on
ly such patriotism as yours coNld make
a triumph worthy of you and Of the canse
to which YOU are devoted sss a4-as lis4 q

express the emotions with which recelv-
ed the testimonials ct confidence and re-
gard winch you have recently addressed
to me- To some aof these frs: received,
separate acknowledgements were return
ed. 81 But it is nov apparent that q like
generous enthusiasm pervas1es the whole
army, and that theonfy exception TO such
gnagnammo.s tender will be ni those who,
having originally entered for the war, can
not display anew their zeal III the public
service. 1t is, therefore, daemed appro
pri tie, and it is hoped, will be equally ac-
ceptable to make a general acknowledge
