GENERAL ORDER, No. SO.

1t is not necessary that any Regiment Of the

Orders. How many well-fought and bloody
fields bear witness to their bravery Least of

the veterans of the Brigade-who have shed
your blood on almost every field from Bull Run,
need panegyrist; your deeds speak for them
selves, and will keep your memory green. while

honored among men.
But that you may know how your General
and your comrades regret and mourn your de-
psrture, and to bid you farewell, and God-speed,
this order is written.-Again, farewell, brave
and noble men. For three years you have borne
the brunt Of battle, and now returning home
with but 1.-THE of your original members, with
just pride you can proclaim you have done your
duty. You have fulfilled your compact. His
tory viii record your services. Let this order
express the feelings of those you leave behind.

well-known citizen of Burlington, whose
years (Mr. Lyman is s2.) have incapacitated

his love of country, his hatred of rebellion.
or his desire to have the war fought through
to final and complete victory. Weneed only
add for distant readers, that Mr.. Lyman is
gentleman of property, and of the highest
SOCIAL standing, whose word is as good as his
bond.

This abominable rebellion must be put down.
