BRIG GEE'L WILLIAM h. POWELL,
GensraL:-Your farewell is SO sudden
and unexpected, that it affords the officers
aud soldiers of your command an oppor-
tunity to present you only written testi.
monlal OF their esteem and confidence.
The scenes and circumstances through
which We have passed during the last year;
and the energy, heroism, and devotion dis.
played by you, have endesred you to our
hearts and engraven your name and fame
in our memories.
The distinction won by you in command
respectively of the End Brigade and 2nd
Cavalry Division, Department of West Vir-
ginia, has rendered the name of "PoWelp
a terror to the enemies of our country, and
will have an enduring record in the history
of this war. And should
Gall our sous to arms"
We in our riper years shall be proud to fol-
low our old Chieftan to the battle fields of
liberty.
Then for the swords of former times,
Then for the men who bore them,
When armed for right they stood sublime
And tyrants crouched before them.
The battles OF Wytheville, Lexington,
Buchanan, LYnchburg, Liberty, Buford's
Gap, Stevenson's Depot, NewtoWn, Kearns-
town, Winchester, Martiosburg, Moor6eld,
Buuker's Hill, Opequau, Fishers Hill, Mt
Jackson, Wears Gave, Milford, NineVeh,
Rude's Hill and Liberty Mills, indicate
your services and your sacrifices and con.
meet your name with many of the most i'm
portant and decisive engagements of the
campaign of 1864.
Dangers, priVattons, wounds nor impris-
oumeut could drive you from the service
of your country in her hour of trial and
danger; but in her period of triumph and
lull of battle, you have yielded to the ten.
der entreaties of "Loved ones at Home ;"
who in affection aud bereavement have
claimed the fulfilment of the duties of a
Husband" and. "Father."
We sincerely regret the affective Provi-
dence which Compels the separation; but
when you are gone from US, We will fondly
cherish the recollection of you gallant
deeds, and endeaVor to initiate your noble
example.
God bless you and yours. is the prayer
of the officers of the 2nd CaVslry Division.
Dear General-Farewell. H.
