This is the conclusion of an edito-
rial when you left:
A few minutes past II O'Clock on Monday night we
were awakened by the prolonged whistle of a loco
motive and soon the spread over town that the
sd ordered to move. The roll beaten at
and the joyous shouts and prolonged cheers of
the soldiers, manifested the enthusiasm with which
the order was received. In a short time Company
passed through town to the tune of 1.-THE Happy Land
of Canaan.' Three four companies left at3 Sew
eral more left the regular morning train. Another
special train up at IL O'Clock, and left at half
pastl. The the troops and most of the remain
ing baggage were taken by the regular afternoon
train. The day mild April. and large numbers
of our citizens witnessed the departure. The mud
was in fine condition, but seemed to regard it,
And the noble SD is gone We can scarcely realize
that 1t Is so. By their gentlemanly conduct while
with us, both men and officers had become great IA
| vorites.
When you were about to leave
Portsmouth, the Tribune, of that
place, said:
The SD, Col Applers gallant Regiment. are now in
our city. awaiting transportation to Paduca. They
will leave here to-day, board the Bostona, and
Ohio No. 3. We have often heard this regiment COM
plimented for its morality and good behavior, and
we take pleasure in declaring that have never
seen more genteel body of soldiers than the SD.

You will remember that when the SD Regiment came
to your place, it had but Companies. During the
time the Regiment remained there some of the boys
guilty of bad conduct, but could hardly be
| pected to be otherwise.
The measles broke out in camp, some time before
we left, and great many were taken down. The sick
lay in their tents about week, when hospital was
established in town. was one of the sick when we
were brought to the hospital. Instead of drawing
our own provisions we depended altogether upon the
citizens of Jackson for supplies. and them

the best of victuas, suitable for the sick and

right expect. Those attentions unremit-

We emained there about week, when we were
brought to Portsmouth to remain until able

and praise of all those who acquainted with the
circumstances, and especially those who were the

We will have to get along without the Jackson
ladies' but we will remember them in all our march,

December II, 1851, the people Of
Jackson gave you public dinner. in
beautiful meadow short distance
below your encampment. The mea-
dow was then owned by Alexander
Grafton, now owned by John L. Long.
The day was clear and pleasant.
Speeches were made by Dr. Fulton, Of
your Regiment. and by Col. James
Hughes, then of Wisconsin, formerly
one of the most noted and prominent
citizens Of Jackson.
I think [ have offered sufficient evi-
dence to show that the relations ex-
listing between you and our people
were most kind, cordial and friendly.
Your services during the war greatly
endeared you to our people. What
ever may have been said at the time,
about your first great disaster, the
people of Jackson never lost conf
confidence in you. It can be said Of
you, with a slight change in the
names of the battles, as poet said
many years ago of the soldiers of the
Revolutionary War:
Proud deeds those iron men have done;
They fought and at Remington,
And bled at Bunker Hill.
Did the results of the war pay for
the cost and sacrifice? Let us see.
We now have pretty good Govern
ment IF the rebellion had succeeded,
there would have been two independ-
ent Governments, in one of which la
borers would be free; in the other
they would be the chattels of the rich
It has recently been ascertained that
some of the seeding States threatened
to secede from the Confederacy dur
ing the war. If the secession theory
was correct, each State could have Sc
ceded, and each county in each State
could have done the same. This would
have reduced our country to anarchy
and continual war Perhaps few Of
you. when you went into the army,
were aware of the great and wonder
ful results to be accomplished by the
success of the Union armies, for
God moves in vsterions way,

The most wonderful result for good,
was the emancipation of labor. When
the laborers in one-half Of the coun-
try were owned by the capitalists
owned and treated as beasts of bur-
den, it not only reduced wages, but it
degraded labor, and laboring people.
The war made all laborers free. All
wealth is the product of labor. In an
article in tbe last number of the Phre-
biological Journal, find this solid
truth:
! The aborer is the appointed of Fate to the u-
innate liquidation of all obligations he with his
two hands digs out of the ground. first last the
value wasted in every extravaganza, folly, crime,
by whomsoever committed.
Making laborers free in every part
of our common country, has made la
Dor honorable, and has more than
doubled the wages paid the laboring
