The citizens of I lie counties of Clcr
tiiont end Brown, Oliio, having presented
the r.Olh Kc$imnt, 0.. V's, a bcaulirul
itland of color, (he aatne wan formally
presented to (he regiment on Christmas
day by Col. J. P. Frrric, Ite commander
of thai regiment, now commanding the 2d
Ilrigadc, 3d Division of Cue left wing,
Hlb U. S. Arm j Corps.
Thin Brigade did themselves and their
commanders groat honor iu the lalo severe
engagements before Murfreeaborn, and we
take great pleasure in publishing the
remark made by the Colonel on the oc
casion above referred to :
IMIm, Officer and fiofdieri c On C9(h
Jlegl., O. V. I :
On behalf f the gallant l.'muL John- t
sow, and the friend of the 59th, I am
here on this Christmas day to present to
you a stand of colors. This in no ordi
nary flag presentation to new and untried
men. Upon its shining folds I read Ivy
Creek, Shilob, Corinth, l'erryville, Crab
Orrhard. They speak eHGuentIy of deeds
already performed, while, our hearts
grow sad when we remember a Nelson,
Haroeakt, Ham, Hinds, Kixsr, IUplr.
Passer, Kisuor, Puchanam, and othes
who come not to our sides when is heard
the alarm drum, and who answer not
here at roll-call.
Nor is this an ordinary Christmas,
with its festivities and merrymakings.
The daily and nightly detonations that
stun the car, are not mimic, but the
stern voice of real war, which even now
while I speak, admonishes me -to be brief.
I see by the Hushing cheek and kindling
eye you note it.
The soft sooth wind brings the sound,
like low muttering thunder, from Ms
Cook's front. It is the irregular, un
healthy, feverish pulse of battle. In truth
this - is no ordinary presentation on
Christmas. 01V farther to the left is the
Hermitage ; over there to the right, almost
in Tiew of our proceedings in the wood,
arc the pickets of an army lighting under
a strange ilag, over the grave of Andrew
Jackson, of Tennessee, for a false doc
trine, invented by Joiih C. Calhoun, of
South Carolina, and even that is only a
cover it their real object.
But to the flag. Your frayed and
stained emblem of the "Old Glory,"
presented to us by the fair ladies of May s-
ville, Kentucky, by the hands of your
- honorary and honored meniler, Mr. Ham
ilton Ghat, will be carefully presorved.
Ever chverished will be the recollections
associated with it. Yours has been an
eventful history. Ever on the outpost as
the wave of war rolled on or receded. It
has been your fato to be always in front,
next the enemy in the effort to stay il
ere it culminated in the vast conflagration
of two revolutions.
In conclusion, allow me to fy, when
for a short period of time I was lately
among your friends ,t home, it was a
source of high gratification to me, to
hear the encomiums passed upon you by
those who had long and anxiously watch
ed yonr course, and who wait to give you
kindly greetings on your return. To your
hands, Col. HowAnn, for the regiment, on'
behalf of tho donors, I now trannfer the
colors, li is peculiarly gratifying to me
Colonel, to place these honored emblems
in the hands of one who, in years gone
by, followed their gleaming, with tho
lamented Lowe and myself, when we iu
other lands together, climbed the lofty
Mera Madra, among whose rugged
. ridges loomed up grandlr the snowy
peaks of Ichtawalt and "Orizaba, who
together trod the far famed table lands
of Mexico, and wandered amid the or
ange groves and flowery Almedas of tho
"City of the Angels." I feel scoured
while you command the regiment, the
beautiful present of our friends will never
lie tarnished.
Eloquent Extract from a Speech of
John B. Gough's in Washington.
In walking through one of our hospi
tals yesterday, and standing np to speak
to these men, I was completely unman
ned. My voice quivered, my eyes were
filled with tears, and my heart throbbed
almost to bursting, fur some time 1 wus
.unable to Rpeak.
Oh, they are heroes! Applause. The
world s heroes: I Kenevtea applause, I
tell you, when I look at a man who gives
his life for Ins country, I look, at a true
patriot. I Applause. I 1 honor such
man, I Applause, ae, w ith the profoun
deat honor. Ileuewed applause ) The
I'nitrd States unifuiiu, however ragged
and if it Is ragged it is Hie more in
tlucntial is at onee a passport to my
heart, liquid applause.
I tell vou. lov friends. I thank God
live to-day, though it is a day of dark
ness, a day of blood, a day of terror,
day ot war; and when 1 pass through
the couutry, and at every station see the
long boxes lifted out, station after station
and weeping friends, ready to take away
the body covered with the Hag of our
country, to bury it in the home sepulchre
my heart is sad ; but over tho grave of
these heroes we will erect a monument to
tell men how they died, here they died
and for what they died, and there is
generation that will come to stand with
heads uncovered by ths graves of the
dead soldier of tbe campaign in this dsy.
(Applause. )

The Late Mtj. W.' H. Polk-
Col. Forn'EY writes the following notice
'of the laU Maj. Pots, to the Philadelphia
JTreu: ,
Washington, Dee, 20, 1802.
The death of William II. l'olk, of Ten
nessee, is not a matter of news, nor, per
haps, a matter of eulogy, for I see that
yeu have already paid the proper tribute
to hia memory in the columns of your
newspsper. And if 1 refer to him to-aay.
it is because the joyous times 'through
which Washington is now passing can
not fail to suggest one who was in other
days one of the most populsr and
genial leaders of our social circles,
and . partly because the delicate
and distressing condition of Tennessee,
and the interest the nation feels in the
great events there transpiring, lead us to
regret the loss of one who wss among the
bravest and best of her loyal sons. Mr.
oik wss born m Tennessee, May 24.
1815, and was the youngest brother of
the ex-1 resident. . llis family wero
among those w ho went from the "compar
atively crowded State of North Carolina,
to tho freer and less developed ter
ritory of Tennessee. They crossed
the mountains in a spirit or rest
less adventure, and were among the
pioneers of the new settlement. The
generation which preceded him had out
lived the wild romance that surrounded
the .primitive life of these early settlers.
The Indian wart had been transferred
from the forrests of the Cumberland
Valley to the everglades of Florida, and
civilization was strpping the rough bark
of nature. Men no longer went to church
with the rule and prayer book, or awoke
in the midnight to be butchered by the
light of their burning homes. Daniel
Boone was telling wondrous stories to
young lads with large eyes, and the co-
temporaries or Daniel lioone may nave
taken young Polk on their knees, and
described, with enthusiasm, the qualities
of oue to whose courage, endurance, and
skill the Western States owe so much.
Tbe inflonoo of these men wss felt deep
ly in Tennessee and in the country.
When l'olk was attending school, men
whose names were afterwards to become
fatnons were in the busy walks of life.
Davy Crockett had told his stories to the
Tennessee Legislature, and was in Wash
ington repeating them to one of the
Houses over which Henry Clay presided
as Speaker.- James K. l'olk had (hush
ed his law studies with Felix Grundy,
and had gone into politics, while telix
Grundy, kind, genial, noble-hearted, gm-
tleman that he was, bad entered the
Senate Chamber. Thomas II. Benton
had quarreled with Jackson, gone to
Missouri in disgust, and beeu sent to the
Senate, which he honored for thirty years.
John Bell had dawdled away some fee
ble yoari in , Congress, and was making
dreary speeches to patient judges and
impatient jurymen. Bailie Peyton was
in the House, and contemplating bis em
bassy to the Brazils, and all Teouefcsce
was very much excited about the wrongs
of one of the bravest, boldest, and migh
tiest Of her sons-t-a tall, gaunt, narrow
visagod man, with light hair, tierce pas
sions, and a frame which a bullet-wonnd
had tortured upon tho rack a man w ho
had given law tdl ennessee from bis rude
court-house, and carried it into execution
when tho court hail adjourned a man
wh went to church, and the race course
regularly; who was a devout Christian,
and had killed a man in a duel: and
having proved himself to be one of tho
most upright judges, one of tho most
skilful generals, and one of tho noblest
patriots of tho age, was now stalking
around Washington, swearing terribly at
the injustice of Air. Monroe s Adminis
tration, threatening to cut the cars from
Henry Clay, and anxious to be chosen
President of the United Slates. In the
icnith of that strange, eccentric and ex
traordinary man's career, Polk was con
struing Casar in the University of Ten
nessee. Andrew Jackson hal closed oue of tho
most illustrious Administrations the Re
public had known, and was planting
corn at the Hermitage and writing indig
nant letters against the enemies of Mrs.
baton. Martin an Buren was tunning
himself in the lingering rays of Jackson's
splendor, spending his time at the last
novel, and devoting his leisure moments
to the duties of the Presidency, when
Wm, II. Polk was admitted to the bar,
and went into politics. His brother
was Governor, and in Ull he becamo a
member of the Legislature of his native
Slate. . But his roving temper would not
bo at rest, and President Tyler having
tendered him an embassy to Naples, be
went as Charge d'Afluirrs in l.il'J.
There be remained, enjoying the deli
cious climate of Italy, and paddling the
lazy hours away in tho Yesuvian Bay.
While there he negotiated a treaty with
the Two Sicilies, which gained him great
credit as a keeu and practical diploma
tist. Tho cloud of war that was appear
ing on the horizon when he left his us
live land cow darkened the htaveita and
burst into a storm. William 11. l'olk
was too bravo a man, too licry and im
petuous, to spend tho hours vt hich his
couutry demanded amid the Svtft ssho
ciations of Sicily.
He beard the thunder, and he came
borne. He went at onee- into tbe army
as a major of dragoons, snd served dur
ing our brief cnuipsigns with Mexico.
Peace proclaimeit, he returned home and
resumed the pi irtice of his proi'esiion,
attending the NthTilli Convention iu
K.U, and Ining elt cUd to Cougrtt iu
1M-oJ. Of a'.l tli 9 members of that
Coiigress, and there , wero many bo
' have since become eminent, none v ill be
nioie kindly remembered by his asoci- I
tt ij,u Wm U. Polk. In person he ;
wait rather la.l, with a frank, h.Ailf
Western face, aud the air of a carik-as,
easy, Rwd-uatured grntleuian. lie wai
a pure type cf the representative Ten
i.i'baean, and seemed retain many of
thoae qualitirs wbii h have given an air
of gonial and aueciiunate roi'JllK'f to the
history of U..t t arly plon' r. He wui
honest in hit opinions and brace in thu
expresaiou o! tiiu; but w ith alt his po
litical d.'elbi. n, nctbing pleaed him bet
tirthsn (. withdraw binimdf from (lie
; i i . A
troubled waters of politics, and enjoy the
companionship of the men be esteemed.
Ia social life he was unrivalled. Ho
had infinite wit and most excellent fan
cy, and I shall often think of hit broad,
genial, ' unflagging humor t his exquisite
mimicry, his llne sense of the ridiculous,
his oTorQowlngspirita, and that unceas
ing courtesy that drew all men to him as
friends, and disarmed all emnity and
coldness. i
. Mr. l'olk retired to his farm, and might
have passed the remainder of his days in
pastoral pursuits. The rebellion came,
and with the Instinct of a loyal and true
heart he came from his home to array
himself against it. It is almost too soon
to writ the story of his gallantj-y and
prowess in tho cause of Douglas ; his
bitter war npon Isham G. Harris and the
Secession cliqne ; bis uncompromising
opposition to treason; hia fidelity to,
the flag, as one after another of his trus
ted friends and co-laborers fell from the
faith ; and finally his exile from his home.
With the prescience of patriotism he saw
the caune of tho rebellion, and first among
the men of th Border he called upon the
Government to Strike Achilles in the
vulnerable heel to destroy treason by
destroying slavery. In this faith he was
earnest, lie preached it in Washington
he sull'eied for it in Tennessee, and he
died fully realizing its great truth. It is
thus that I will leave him now, and I
commend him to those who were his fel
low citizens, and to all Whorecgonize the
loyalty he breathed, as the true type of
a self-sacrificing and dauntless friend of
the Union. , Occasional. 1
General Butler'i Address to thePeo
' ' pie of New Orleans. .' ' '
CitizeX3 of Nsw Orlkass: It may
not be inappropriate, as it is not inop
portune in occasion, that there should be
addressed to you a few words at parting,
by one whose name is to be hereafter in
dissolubly connected with your city.
I shall speak in no bitterness, because I
am hot conscious of asinglo personal ani
mosity. Commanding the Army of ths
Gulf, I found yon captured, but not sur
rendered; conquered, but not orderly; re
lieved fiom the preseucc of an army, but
incapable of taking care of yourselves.
So far from it, yon bad called upon a
foreign legion to protect yon fr6m your
selves. 1 restored order, punished crime,
opened commerce, brought provisions to
your starving people, reformed yonr cur
rency, and gave you ' qniet protection,
tuch as you bad not enjoyed fr many
years, ; ,
While doing this , my soldiers nere
subjected (o obloquy, rrpmeh, and in
sult. :
And now, speaking to you, who know
tho truth, I Lere declare that whoever
has quietly remained abent hit business,
aS'ording neither aid nor comfort to tbe
enemies cf the United States, has never
been interfered with by soldiers of the
United Slates. . ;
Tho lueu who had assumed (o govern
you and defend your city in arms having
fled, otne of your women flouted at the
presence of those r bo e&iuo to . protect
them. By timplc orJor(No. 8) I
called upon every aoldicr of this army to
treat the women of New Orleans as gen
tlemen should deal with the tex, with
such ellecl that I now call upon the jut-
minded ladies of New Orleans to say
whether they have ever enjoyed so com
plete protection and calm quiet for them
selves and their families at since the
tdvent of the United States troops.
.The enemies of my country, unrepen-1
tant and implacable, I have treated with
merited severity. I hold that rebellion
ia treason, and treason persisted in
is death, and that any punishment short
of that duo a traitor, gives so much clear
(rain to him from the clemency of (he
Government. Upon this thesis have I
administered tho authority of the United
States, because of which I am not uncn
scious of complaint. I do not feel that
I have erred in too much harshness, for
that harshness has ever been exhibited
to disloyal enemies of my couutry and
not to loyal triends. To be sure I might
have regaled you with the amenities of
BritihU civilisation, and yet besn with
in the supposed rules of civilized Mar
fare, loti might have been smoked to
death ia caverns, as were the Covenan
ters of Scotland by the command of a
General of the royal household of F.ng
taud ; or roasted, like the inhobi
ants of Algiers during the French
campaign ; your wives and daughter
might have been given over to tho ravish-
er, as wero the unfortunate dames of
Spain in tho Peninsular War; or you
might have been scalped and tomahawk
ed, as our mothers were at Wyoming by
tho savage allies of Great l'ritain in our
own revolution; your projicrty could
have been turned over U indiscriminate
" loot," like the palace of (ho Emperor of
China; works of art v bleb aiiorneu your
builJiugs might have been sent away,
like the paintings of the Vatican; your
sous might have been blown from tbe
mouths of i annuo, like the Sepoys of
Delhi; and yet all this Would htso beeu
within theiul'-s of civilized warfare a
practiced by the in t poliithed and th'
most hvpH tilii nl uations of F.urope.
For suili acts the records of tbe doings
of some oi I tie inhabitants of your city
toward the friends of tho I'tiiim, he fine

and juit title at ion.

tlave, and so am quite content in Incur
ring the sneers of the sahn or the c nines

I found you Irtuilling at the terrors of
servile insurrection. All danger of this
I have prevented, by so treating tho slave
that he had no cause to rebel.
I found the dungeon, the chain and the
lash, yonr only means of enforcing obe
dience in your servants.. I leave (hem
peaceful laborious,'1 controlled by the
laws of kindness and justice.
1 I have demonstrated that the prslilencs
can be kept from your borders.
I have added a million of dollars to
your wealth in the form of new laud from
the battue of the Mississippi.
I have cleansed and improved your
Streets, canals and public squares, and
opened new avenues to unoccupied land.
I have given you freedom of elections,
greater that) you have ever enjoyed.
I .have canted justice to be administer
ed to impartially, that your own advo
cates have unanimously complimented
tho judges of my appointment.
You have aeon, therefore, tbe brm-flt if
the laws and justice of the Gov mment
against which you have rebelled.
-.Why, then, will you not all return to
your allegiance to that Government not
with lip-service, but with tho heart ?
'I conjure you, if you desire ever to see
renewed prosperity, givinj business to
your streets and w harves if you hope
to see your city becuino at;aia the mart
of the Western world, fed by its rivers
for more than three thousand miles,
draining (he commerce of a country great
er than tho mind of man bath ever con

If ron desire to leave to your children

fathers a stable constitutional gevern

I There is but one thing that stands in
the way. :
' There is but one thing that at this hour
stands between yon and the Govenunertt
aud that is slavery.
, The institution, cursed of God, which
has taken its last refuge here, in His
providouce will bo rooted out as the tares
from the wluat, a,' though the y, heat, be
torn up with it.
I have given much thought to this sub
ject. ". ' ;
. I came among, you, by teachings, by
habit of mind, by political position, by
social altiiiily, inclined to sustain your
domestic. laws, if by possibility they
might be with safety to ths Union.
Mouths of experience an'd of observa
tion have forced the conviction that the
existencu of slavtiy is incompatible with
the safety of ei their j cursclves cr of the
Union. -As the system has gridually
grown to its present huge dimensions, it
were best if it could be 'gradually re
moved, but it is better, far belter that it
should be t a Veil out at onee tliau that it
should longer vitiate the social, political,
and family relations of , your country. I
am speaking with no philanthropic views
as regards 'the slave, but simply of the
t fleet of fcla very, on the master. See for
yourselves
Look around you and say whether this
saddening iullucnce has not all but de-
stroyed the very frame work of our
society.
I am speaking thu farewell word of
one who has shown his devotion to his
country, at the peril of his life and for
tune, who in these wotdscsn hsvo neith

whom ho addret-scs; aud let mo here re
peat, with- all tho solemnity of an appeal
to Heaven to bear tuc witness, that such

port of the Government. Take into your

River and Boats
A very large rain fell Friday night and
quite a 'brisk one (he preceding day.
There were three feet and a half on too
shoals yesterday, and the river was on a
stand. From tho rain which has fallen,
we? may certainly look for a rise sufficient
to m.!ke four feet water on tho shoals.'
The following boats arrived yesterdsy:
J, II. ' Raldwin, Hastings, Hazel Dell,
and Huntress. Tho Tempest, St. Clair,
St Cloud, Dover, Trio, li. B. Hanilton,
ShiMiango, Poland, May Duke, Atlanta,
Diadem, Ella Taylor, Cordelia Ann, and
(he gunboat Brilliant, have been at the
shoals f-r a day or two, and are looked for
to-day. Tho boats are all loaded with
army stores. '
We want In see tho Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, tho Cumberland-River,
and Braogs's army, all kept in pood
running order. '

The levy made by Governor Ajidrbw
Jonssos on certain parlies, for the relief
of the destitute, has been promptly paid
by sorco ; others have withheld from
discharging; a duty now imperatively de
manded by tho Buffering of thy city. It
is to be hoped that delinquents will re
spond promptly to tho demands of tb
destitute women and children pressing
daily upon tbe authorities for relief. On
Tuesday, at farthest, wo shall be com
pelled to visit the parties that have fail
ed to pay their first instalment, as means
must be procured by Wednesday for ths
relief of tho Buffering poor. I am pleased
to say that most of the gentlemen that
have paid havs done it with evident ds
sire to relitve tho want in our city.
