"A Revelation from the Chivalry."
The Baltimore American says as the
chances of maintaining the great strug
gle become more and more uncertain
in the South, then men who have done so
much to bring it on upon false pretexts
become more and more fierce in their
bitter animosity, and desire to make
the people of the two sections utterly
irreconcilable. Every taunt that can
be uttered, every provocation and in
sult that can be hit upon, is devised to
widen the breach, and make that strog-
Ale fiendish and malignant, which be
gan measurably with moderation and
:a lingering regard for members of the
:same nationality. In this work the
! press there has always played a dis
tinguished part, beginning with the
Charleston Mercury, and that paper
!having given the key-note in its fierce
hatred and contempt for all not up to
its standard of what was aristocratic ;
the others have gradually chimed in,
Outdoing their preceptor in this mat
ter at last. Indeed, whilst the Mercury
has to some extent accepted the whole
some lessons forced upon it of late, and
toiled dawn its savage utterances in
the preseace of a - foe who has com
pelled respect, its co-laborers get worse
iu their angry demonstrations, as per
haps the best method, in their estima
tion, of making their dupes fight to the
death in a bad and failing cause. The
American has been struck with this
condition of things by the sight of a
veritable copy of the Richmond Whig,
of as late a date as Sane 25th, dealing
with these matters. It has an article
which, in its way, is a curiosity, and
yet so in harmony with other senti
ments of the leaders of the rebellion,
and especially with the current senti
ment hitherto in the Cotton Statcs,that,
queer as it is, it will not at this time,
we imagine, greatly surprise any here.
We propose to quote it entire :
The Master Race.—Since the great
tattle of Shiloh, and including it, we
have had an almost uninterrupted series
of victories. We have encountered
the enemy generally with heavy odds
against us, and frequently behind in
trenchments, but in no single instance,
unless it be the unexplained affair at
Lewisham have Southern troops failed
to exhibit superior manhood to the mon
grel and many tongued enemy.
Indeed the whole experience of the
war is an attestation of the truth long
since discovered by impartial observers
that the master race of this continent
is found in the Southern States. Of a
better stock, originally, and habitua
ted to manlier pursuits and exercises,
they have ruled in affairs of State by
force of the stronger will and large•
wisdom that pertain to and distinguish
superior races of men, while on the
field of battle they have in (wry con
test held a priority of place, conceded
to them by their present adversaries.
ty, if that is not sublimated impu
dence axl self-complacency combined,
F 9 .krk97i nothing about it. On the
,run Ibr the last half year nearly, it
would only be a tedious matter to enu
merate all the races in which they have
,distinguished themselves in a hot chase
after that "last ditch." A glance at
the vacated region tells the story at
once, since they have been made to
trot across Missouri, Kentucky, Ten
fICSSCO, and from other localities innu
merable. If we take one memorable
instance alone in which these very
Richmond gentlemen made the most
remarkable time in rebel annals, it sot
tAes the case ferever against them, they
themselves being compelled to con
demn the " Richmond Blues," pi*
crack ems, for their lack of every
thing which constitutes a " master
race." If we take the other or fellow
pink in this claim. to what is '! chival
rous" and dominant, all must remem
ber the flight front Hilton Head en
counter, in which the Charlestonians
just as highly distinguished themselves
in the same line as their Richmond
friends did at Roanoke. What makes
this claim more comical as coming from
Richmond is that no one can associate

WILLIAM LEWIS, Editor and Proprietor.
VOL. XVIIL
in the past Henry A. Wise with other
than most valorous utterances, whilst
his real exploits have only made more
remarkable and shameful his whole
sale and defiant brags and running.
If we turn to the West, continues
our Baltimore contemporary, all must
remember the persistent uproar kept
up in the Southern papers over the
Texas regiment that passed through
Nashville on their way to Kentucky.
Every one of thorn was a prodigy of
strength and valor and horsemanship ;
could beat Pawnees in their ability to
pick up their weapons from the ground
whilst at full speed—their bowie-knives
were to slash men in two as a house
wife might a parsnip, and their rifles
were treble death. But, alas ! on an
unfortunate occasion for them, they
encountered "Willich's Germans" at
the Green river bridge; the Texan
colonel was slain, and they were so
completely wiped out at close quarters
that they have never been heard of
since, except as the remains of a dis
organized and rabble set of bacon and
horse stealers, as they fled through
Nashville. But why multiply cases
when the object of all this reckless gas
conade is merely to keep the breath of
life in the nostrils of a doomed rebel
lion ? We quote again :
This natural domivancy of the South
ern people has had much to do in
bringing on the -war. The inferior
race, grown strong in numbers and
ambitious from prosperity, have re
volted against and now seek to over
throw and destroy those whose supe
riority was a constant source of envy
and self-reproach. There is no fiercer
malevolence than that of caste, and it
is this which has so long stirred the
Yankee bile. Always, iu the presence
of the Southern gentleman, he has felt
a strong and painfully repressed im
pulse to take of his bat, This con
scious inferiority has galled the jeal
ous and malignant creature until ho
has broken out in servile insurrection.
He has vainly concluded that his num
bers can overwhelm and exterminate
the subjects of his envy, and that be,
succeeding to the broad acres and lib
eral habitudes of the Southern gentry,
will come to be looked upon as a gen
tleman too !
If this is not " piling up the agony,"
what, in the name of all that is repub
lican and Jeffersouian, is ? It is worth
something to find the chivalry trying
in this manner to put themselves " right
upon the record." Twenty millions of
people in revolt against three hundred
and fifty thousand slaveholders I Day
is breaking, full surely, when such rev
elations as these come up from Old
Virginia. We quote once more :
With us the contest is one for here
ditary rights, for the sacred things of
home, for the old repute of the bettor
blood—with the Yankee it is a rebel
lious and infatuated struggle for a
place he is unworthy of, for privileges
he would degrade, for property he
would barter, and for institutions he
could neither comprehend nor enjoy.
It is the old and never-ending strife
between patrician and proletarian, be
tween gentle and vile. It is the offer
of battle on a new field of muscle
against spirit—numbers against cour
age. It is not upon Southern soil and
among the descendants of Cavaliers
and, Huguenots that this battle will go
in'favor of brute force.
It may be that the armies in front
of this city are about to rush into mor
tal wrestle. When they meet it will
not, perhaps, be upon such unequal
terms as we have generally encounter
ed. But should there be as great ine
quality of numbers as on other fields, it
may and will be neutralized here, As it
ever has been, by the superior courage
and constancy of our troops. True
to their lineage, their fame, their pled
ges, their principles—true to the ex
pectations and prayers of all who love
them—true to the immeasurable in
terests that hang on the issue—the soh
diers who fight for liberty and native
land will never give back, never weary,
never cease to strike till certain and
glorious victory perches on their ban
ners.
If any one, comments the American,
can read this long rigmarole, dictated
by the seemingly impracticable folly
and presumption of tho " chivalry,"
the " descendents of the Cavaliers and
Huguenots," and not feel that only a
good whipping will ever enable them
to be tolerated on this Continent, ho is
behind the spirit of the times—he is
not posted up with the causes which I
bave dictated this conflict. Taking
the issues they tender as those of fact,
the question at oppp arises whether
this little knot of pretendnrs, these
" Don Quixotes of the Southern plan
tations" as the Cologne Gazette hap
pily termed them, aro to dominate all
that was once reverenced here by those
who founded tho Republic? What a
homily for the Democracy of the land
r7_-what a creed for those Iglu? have, in
the past, built all their triumphs on
the teachings of Jefferson, Madison,
and the other worthies of the Revolu
tion. It is something to get into the
merits of the paso, it is much to learn
what Jefferson Davis is fighting for,
what Barnwell Rhett fell for the other
day. Let the people take heed to all
this. Let them make up their minds
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1862.
as to whether the teachings and the
practices of two-thirds of a century
here have all been based on a stupen
dous mistake; whether, in short, re
publican government is a dream and a
farce, or a living, breathing benefi
cence, calculated to elevate and bene
fit the masses of the human race. If
satisfied that they are on the .right
quest, let the masses fight for their old
principles, die for them, if need be,
but never talk of surrender to a set of
pretentious starvelings whose ama
zing folly and assumptions are the dis
grace of this continent and of the age
in which they live.
Now Reoruiting Regulations.
WASHINGTON, July 16.—The follow
ing is the substance of a general order
that has just been ihupd from the War
Department :
In organizing new regiments of vol
unteers, the Governors of States are
authorized to appoint, in addition to
the staff officers heretofore authorized,
one Second Lieutenant for each com
pany, who shall be mustered into the
service at the commencement of the
organization, with authority to muster
in recruits as they are enlisted.
If any recruits shall be enlisted who
shall afterwards, on medical inspec
tion, prove to have been obviously un
fit for the service at the time of 14
enlistment, all the expenses caused
thereby shall be paid to such officer,
to be stopped against him from any
payment that may be coming to him
from the Government, thereafter. Any
officer thus appointed and mustered
shall only be entitled to be paid on the
muster and pay roll of his Company,
and should he fail to secure an organ
ized Company within such reasonable
time as the Government may desig
nate, his men may be transferred to
some other Company, his appointment
be revoked, and he be discharged with
out pay, unless the Governor shall
think it proper to give him a position
in the consolidated company to which
his men have been transferred.
Recruits will be sent to the regi
mental rcndeiVous at least as often as
once a week; when they will be im
mediately examined by the surgeon of
the regiment, and if found unfit for
duty by reason of permanent disabil
ity, will be discharged from the service
forthwith by the Surgeon, who will re
port such discharges to the Adjutant
General of the State, and also to the
Adjutant of the Regiment, noting par
ticularly those cases whore the disa
bility was obvious at the time of en
listment.
As soon as the organization of a re
giment is completed, it will be careful
ly inspected by the mustering officer
for the State, who will see that at least
the minimum number of each compa
ny is present. No absentees except
the sick in the hospital will be count
ed. Ile will also compare the muster
in the rolls, and if found correct, will
sign the roll, certifying to the muster
of each man at the date of his enlist
ment.
Officers will be mustered into the
service only on the authotTty of the
Governor of the State to which their
regiments belong, Until regiments
are organised and their muster roll
completed, they will be under the ax
elusive control of the Governors of the
States, and all the requisitions for
Quartermaster's, lfedical and Ord
nance stores, and contracts for subsis
tence. will, if approved by them, be al
lowed and not otherwise.
Where it is desired by the Govern
ors of the States, the United States Of
ficers of the Quartermaster's, Medical
and Ordnance Departments may turn
over stores to the State authorities, to
be issued by them in accordance with
the Regulations and accounted for to
the proper bureau of the War Depart
ment,
Persons travelling under the order
of the Governor of any State, on busi
ness connected with the recruiting ser
vice, will be allowed the actual cost of
transportation, to be paid by the mus
tering and disbursing officer on the
presentation of the account, accompa
nied by proper vouchers, and the or

ashamed to begin again, but the rea-
Km was, that I had nothing to write
that T. thought would be interesting.
Nr) have been in ',lgoe fights, and per
gn aceptplt of them would be of
interest, at least to some of your nu
merous readers.
On Thursday, Juno 26th, wo wore
ordered to harness up and bo ready to
move, and at two o'clock we started
for:the scene of action, at, Mechanics
ville, which had already commenced.
-PERSEVERE.-
We arrived on the field at half-past 3,
and immediately commenced firing
with shell and canister, and it was not
long before the secesh skedaddled—
We then fired shell with five-second'
fuse, at a secesh battery, till a brigade
of rebels undertook to flank our bat
tery. In one minute the battery was
faced in that direction pouring canister
into them at the rate of twelve dis
charges to the minute; as usual, they
skedaddled. It was getting dark then,
and the firing soon ceased on both
sides, and we slept on the battle-field.
The next morning wo fell back to
Gaines' 11111, where we had one of the
hardest fights of the war. Our batte
ry was not engaged until evening.—
The infantry was driven back, and did
not rally to the support of our battery
as they should have done, and conse
quently we had no support. I could
not blame the infantry for they had
been fighting all day against superior
numbers, and were out of ammunition.
We fired spherical case shell and can
ister until the rebels were within five
yards of the muzzles of our guns; we
then limbered up, and left the field.—
We had to leave two guns and seven
dead comrades on the field. We would
have brought all our guns along, but
the men were killed or wounded at
them. I was acting gunner and all
the boys were wounded at our gun ex
cept myself. Two of us limbered up
our gun, and it generally takes six
men to do it. We crossed the Chick
ahominy and rested till Saturday night,
when we took up the line of march for
the left of our lines, which we reached
Sunday night, and on Monday after
noon we had our third fight. It began
about two o'clock. Our caissons were
ordered to leave the field before the
battle commenced, and when we were
nearly out of ammunition, they could
not be found. We soon run out of am
munition and Gen. McCall ordered us
to leave the field. flour ammunition
had lasted ten minuteslonn-er we would
all have been captured, for the rebels
came in front with a large force and
at the same time flanked us with a
larger force than we had on the field.
Reinforcements soon came up for our
men and the rebels were driven from
the field with the bayonet. Our troops
fell back about six miles that night,
and when the rebels came up, we
whipped them again. The Reserves
were not in that fight, for they are
very much cut up. In Monday's fight
the Fifth Regiment, P. R. V. C., made
three successive bayonet charges. I
only saw the first one, and they brought
in about one hundred prisoners that
time. I only speak. of what I saw.--

SEVENTU PENNA. RESERVES CAMP,
Harriaon'a Landing, July 9, 1862.
On Thursday, Juno 20, we were or
clered
to get ready for review by Genl.
McClellan. The boys accordingly
brightened up, and got everything in
order, when the sharp report of a Par
rott gun told us there was work at
hand. Soon the rattle of musketry
was heard about a mile from our camp,
and we were ordered to get ready to
support the Ist and 3d Brigades. We
immediately started out, the rebels
meanwhile amusing themselves by
shelling us from the other side of the
river, as we marched along. No went
into the fight about four o'clock, and
kept it up until nine, when firing
ceased on both sides, as if by mutual
consent. We slept on the ground
where we bad fought, with nothing to
disturb us but an occasional shot from
the outer guards. During this engage
ment we were about seventy-five yds.
apart. The bullets came in a perfect
hurricane, and the shelling was the
most severe we experienced during our
trying time. We had been contending
against 45,000 men, according to the
statement of a prisoner, since con
firmed by scores of the " gray-backs "
we captured. At three o'clock next
morning (27th) we opened on them
again, and then slowly retreated to
the position at Gaines' Hill, a distance
of six miles, whore we were joined by
the balance of Porter's corps d'armee.
Up to this time we had about 8,000
men, of which about 300 had been kill
ed, wounded, and missing.
The enemy pressed us closely, and
we had barely got into position when
they made one of their impetuous
charges on our right, but they were
repulsed in gallant style. The fight
was kept up for about two hours, when
the armies commenced manoeuvring,
the " robs " finding it impossible to
successfully attack us. They still out
numbered us two to one. About this
time the Reserves were ordered to a
position, as a body of reserve, to at
tack at the decisive moment. At four
o'clock the order was given, "M'Call's
division on the line," and, amid the
howling of shells and the whistling of
bullets, we marched to the front. Our
regiment was on the left, then on the
right, then on the right centre, and fi
nally was placed on the left centre.—
Here we were ordered to lie down, our
company being placed between three
pieces of artillery. Here is whore we
suffered so terribly. We were barely
twenty yards from the enemy, and the
grape and canister was howling terri
bly. We drove them until about six
o'clock, when " Stonewall" made his
first appearance, and fell on our left
wing. He succeeded in flanking us,
and planted a battery so as tD enfi
lade our entire line. This battery he
lost; but the ail Maine and 4th Michi
gan broke, and broke our line. We
could not stand it ; they outnumbered
us now four to one, and they were
fresh, whilst we were worn out by our
day-and-a-halls fighting,- and hardly any
sleep. ;We fell back, and wore met by
the Irihli Brigade, when we turned and
drove the rebels off the field; at the
point of the bayonet. They received
further reinforcements, but we • held
the field until next morning, when we
crossed the Chickahominy and blow
up the bridges. We then took a rest,
and next morning started for White
Oak Swamp. Everything was docent
and in order; we saved our baggage
train, which was nearly twenty miles
long ! After we had placed the snamp
between us and our pursuers we halt
ed, and a short halt it was. The reb
els now bad another column, directly
from Richmond of about 100,000 men,
bearing on our left. Add to this that
our entire army was not yet united,
and you may imagine how " blue " it
looked. We had, however, succeeded
in making the river, where the gun
boats could co-operate with us. We
fell baea about one and a half miles,
and chose our position--our division
on the fourth line of battle ; our gen
erals telling us that we would not be
"pmt in" unless absolutely necessary.
IVe did not wait long before the rebel
column advanced on the first line, and
almost the first command issued was,
" McCall to the front," and double
quick it went. We charged them, and
at the point of the bayonet drove them
from the ground three times, when we
fell back, and fresh troops took our
place. The enemy finally withdrew
about dark, and next morning we again
fell buck, and united our whole army
near the river, at City Point. Here,
with great pomposity, they again at
tacked us, on the Ist of July. "Little
Mac" himself commanded, and it would
have done your heart good to see them
skedaddle. This engagement ended
in a total rout. Here we took a bri
gade of robs, and a motley crew they
were—all drunk.. Major Lyman, our
provost marshall, tells me that all the
rebel prisoners turned into his hands
are drunk. This accounts for their
fighting so recklessly, I presume. We
again took the line of march next day,
and came to this place. The Confed
erates planted a battery on a hill and
commenced throwing shells into our
camp. Our guns did not reply, but a
division took a little walk of about five
minutes, and, without firing a gun,
quietly relieved them of their pieces,
and took the soldiers in charge for safe
keeping. They had seven small pie
ces, and a good stock of ammunition.
Our lines have been advanced, and we
are now entrenching ourselves. Our
communication is now uninterrupted
and much cheaper. The papers will
have it that Jackson was
,fighting us
on Thursday - and Friday; which- is a
mistake. He Only came on Friday
evening near dusk. The papers publish
very little of a reliable nature, so far
as that great, masterly and strategical
movement is concerned. I asked ono
of the rebels whether they had seen
any 'big shells" come into their ranks,
meaning from the gunboats. He re
plied, " Yes, about the size of an ordin
ary knapsack." They do throw heavy
Of our losses, I would fain not speak,
but so it must be to complete the sto
ry. Out of 8,000 men the Reserves
took in, we can barely muster 3,500.
Among Our missing are Generals Mc-
Call, Reynolds, and Meade; Colonels
Simmons, Hayes, Gallagher and Jack

Governor Yates, of Illinois, has ad

dent Lincoln, under date of July 11:
E,XECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, 1
Springfield, 111., July 11, 1862.
President Lincoln, Washington, D. C.:
Tho crisis of the war and of our na
tional existence is upon us. The time
has come for the adoption of more de
cisive measures. Greater animus and
earnestness must be infused into our
military movements. BlOws must be
struck at the vital parts of the rebel
lion.
The Governme,pt should employ all
available means compatiblewith the
rules of warfare to subjugate the trai
tors. Summon to the standard of the
Republic all men willing to fight for
the Union. Let loyalty, and that
alone, be the dividing line between the
nation and its foes. Generals should
not be permitted to fritter away the
services of our bravo men in guarding
the property of traitors, and in driving
back into their hands loyal blacks, who
offer us their labor, and who seek shel
ter beneath the Federal flag.
Shall we sit supinely by and see the
war sweep off the youth and strength
of the land, and refuse aid from that
class of mon who are at least worthy
foes of traitors and the murderers of
our government and of our children ?
Our armies should be directed to
forage and quarter on the enemy, and
to cease paying traitors and their
abettors exorbitant exactions for food
needed by the sick or hungry soldier.
Mild and conciliatory means have
been tried in vain to recall the rebels
to their allegiance. The conservative
policy has utterly failed to reduce them
to obedience and restore the suprema
cy of the laws. They have by means
of sweeping conscriptions gathered in
countlegs hordes, and threaten to beat
back and overwhelm the armies of the
Union. With blood and treason in
their hearts, they flaunt the black flag
of rebellion in the face of the Govern
ment, and threaten to butcher our

merciless savages in their behalf. '
Mr. Lincoln, the crisis -,.demands
greater efforts and sterner measures.
Proclaim - anew the good old motto of
'the Republic, "Liberty and . Union,
now and forever, one and inseparable,"
and accept the services of all loyal nseu,.
and it will be in your power to stamp
armies out of the earth—irresistible
armies, that will boar our banners to
certain victory.
Illinois, already alive with the beat
of the drum, an‘l resounding with the
tread of new recruits, will respond to
your call. Adopt this policy, and she
will leap like a flaminff b giant into the
fight. This polieylorthe conduct of
the war, will render foreign interven

Republic invincible. It will bring the
*conflict to a speedy close, and secure
peace on a permanent basis.

good spirits that day."
It iS therefore ordered that she be
not " regarded and treated' as a com

soldier is bound to take notice, but as
an uncommon, bad and dangerous wo

sippi; within proper limits there, till
further orders, and that she be allowed
one female servant and no more; if she

Punishment of Yankee Bone Ornament
Immediately following this is order
151:
Fidel Keller has been found exhibi
ting a human skeleton in his book
store window, in a public place in this
city, labeled " Chickahominy," in large
letters, meaning and intending that
the bones should be taken by the pop
ulace to be the bones of a United
States soldier slain in that battle, in or
der to bring the authority of the Uni
ted States and our armies into con
tempt, and for that purpose had stated
to the passers by that the bones were
'those of a Yankee soldier, Whereas in
truth and feet, they wore the bones
purchased some weeks before of
Mexican Consul, to whom they were
pledged by a medical student.
It is therefore ordered that for this
desecration of the dead, he be confined
at Ship Island for two years at hard
labor, and that he be allowed to corn
munieate with no one on the island
except Mrs. Philips, who has been sent
there fora like offence.
Upon this order being road to him,
Keller requested that so much of it as
associated with him "that woman"
might be recalled, which request,
seeming to the Commanding General
to be reasonable, so much of said order
was revoked, and the remainder execu
ted.
Another order• is to the following ef
fect:
John W. Andrews exhibited a cross,
the emblem of the suffering of our
blessed Savior, fashioned for a person
al ornament, which ho said was made

and having shown this, too, without
rebuke, in the Louisiana Club, which
claims to bp composed of clqvidric

for this desecration of the dead, Ile be
confined at hard labor for two years
on the fortiAcatioas at Ship Island, and
that he bp allowed po verbal or writ
ten communication to or with any cm

Gimr, Nzw Outzkus, July, 2, 1862.
My _Deqr4Sir; , I am napalms of the
good opinion of my friends as I :ann
careless of the slanders of my enemies,
and your kind expressions in, regatil. to
order' No, 88, leads mo to saga word
On the subject, .
That it over eould• have boon. so mis
conceived as it; his been;by some por
tions of the Ntu'thorn press is wonder
ful, and would lead one te•exclaira with
the Sew, 0, Fathcr‘ -Abraham, what
these . Christians are, whose ,own har'.
dealings teach they i suspect the
very thoughtSof others!' . • • ; ,••
What was the state 01'1 things tG
• which the woman order applied /
'We wore two thousand five hundred
Men in a city seven miles leng by two,
to four wide, of a hundred and fifty
thousand inhabitants, all hostile, bitter s
defiant, explosive, standing literally on
a magazine; a' spark only needed fort
destruction. The devil bad onto red
the hearts of the women
. of this town,
(you know seven - of them chese:Mary
Magdalen for a residence,.): teildir,up
striTe in everyway possible. , Every
opprobrious epithet, every insulting
jesture was Made by. these - bejeiveled,
becrinolined and +teed creatures, cal,
ling themselves ladies, towards my sol
diers and officer's, from the windows Df
houses and in the streets. • Row „long
do you suppose our flesh and ,'blood.
could have stood this withbut retort.?
That would lead to disturbances
and riot, from which we must clear
the streets with artillery—and then l a
howl that we murdered these fine wo..
men.' I had arrested the ;men whcP
hurrahed for Beauregard. Could I ar.
rest the women ? No. What. was to
be done'? No order.could be made save
ono that would execute itself. With•
aux.ious, careful thought I hit upon
this: "Women who insult my SQli.lipTS
aro to be regarded and treated as com
mon women plyingtheir vocation.", •
Pray how do you treat a common
woman plying hor *cation in tho
streets? You pass hor by unheeded,
She cannot insult you!, As a gentlo.-
man you can and will take no -notice•
of her. if she speaks, her words are
not opprobrious. It is only when she
becomes a continuous and positive ,
nuisance that you call a watchman,
and give her in charge to him.
But some of the Northern editors.
seem to think that whenever one meets.
such a woman one must stop tier, tall;
with her, insult her, or hold" dallianoo
with her, and so from their own con ,
duct they construed my order.
The editor of the Boston Courier
may so deal with common women, nad.
out of the abundance of the heart ide.
mouth may speak—but so do not I. :
Why, these :she adders of New Or-.
leans themselves wero at onto shamed'
into propriety of conduct by the order,
and from that day no woman has eith
er insulted or annoyed any living sol',--
dier or officer, and of a cox tainty no.
soldier has insulted any woman. ;
When I passed through Bald Moro•
on the 23d of Fehruary last, members.
of my staff wore inenited lay the gos--
tures of theladies (?) them Nat so 104
Now Orleans. .
One of the ' worst possible of alli
these women showed disrespect to, the.
remains of gallant young Do Kay, and!
you will see her punishment, in a copy
of the order which I enclose, is • at•
once a vindication and a Construction.
of my order.
I can only say that I would issue it
again under like circumstances. Again,
thanking you for your kind iuterest,
am, truly, your friend, •
