in my command.
It has long been a source of infinite
pleasure to me that the officers and men
of the .jd regiment of loyal hast ieu-
nesseeans, have always been ready to
second any effort of ray own to promote
our common interests, as soldiers lighting
in defence of an invaluable country, and
the most cherished institutions ever de
vised for llie enjoyment of man.
1 have otten had occasion to express
my satisfaction, that, whilo in some regi
inents the uMnost harmony did not at ail
times prevail, in tho one 1 have the honor
to command, the most pci lcct good feel
ing and social friendship has ever existed
among all grades, and between every
rank.
My health has long been ftich that
neither tou nor I could tell when I
would be forced to sever my ollicial con
nection with you.
NVhen I have contemplated such con
tingency, it Las been with emut'ous
which I iinaghi ' hie" near akin to those
experienced by Moses when he bid adieu
to the children of Israel, whom he had
lead forty years, and started op the
mountain on which he had to d.
In accepting this sword, you will per
mit mo to say, that I hope, always to
draw it through, patriotic motives, and
never ahcath it in disgrace !
And, looking tu the character of those
who have honored me with this presen
tation, as rellected from tliw Rnuke of
battle at London, lig Hill, lUchniond,
and l'erryville, Ky., I am compelled to
declare, that, if dishonor should ever fall
upon their present, while 1 am leading
1 hem, the blame will bu mine, and the
shame ehimld rest on me alone.
1 have fiii 111 in (Jed, and a eLerislied
hope in my l.eart, that the great l;ee of
Liberty, planted by our fulluis, now
being watered by the blond of the patri- j
oU of the nation, for ti e defence of hieh '
Mumford, the New Orleans
. and Rebel-
Jeff. Davis, moved, doubtless, by that
fellow feeling which makes scoundrels as
well as good men admire each other, and
binds them in eternal friendship, in his
Anti-Batler proclamation of the 23d of
December, says, that "William B. Mum-
Kor.D, a citizen of the Confederacy, was
actually and publicly executed in cold
blood by hanging." Of this fact he de
clares he has indubitable testimony, and
he therefore pronounces Butler felon,
who is to be hung whenever he shall be
captured. In addition to this, Mr. HiCH
ard Yeadon, editor of the Charleston (S.
C.) Courier, publishes tho following ad
vertisement in his paper i
Teh Thousand Dollars Kewaro.
$10,000. President Davis having, pro
claimed Benjamin F. Butler, of Massa
chusetts, to bo a felon, deserving of capi
tal punishment, for the deliberate murdtr
of William B. Mumford, a citizen of the
Confederacy, at Iscw Orleans, and having,
for that and other outrages and atroci
ties, pronounced the said Benjamin F.
Butler an outlaw and common enemy of
mankind, and authorized, in tho event of
bis capture, the officer in command of the
capturing force ro cause him to be imme
diately executed by hanging, the under
signed hereby oilers a reward of ten
thousand dollars ($10,000) for tho cap
lure of the said Benjamin K. Butler, dead
or alive, td any proper Confederate au
thority. Bicuari) Ykahon.
Charleston, Dec. 2'J, 1802. Gt.
It will be noticed that Mr. Yeadon or
ders this bloodthii'st y advertisement to
be inserted six times. In another column
of the same paper we find that Mr. Yea
don s assassiu is ready but he wants
more money, llie comments are the
Courier s.
We find in the Winchester (Tenn.)
Bulletin- the following curious advertise
ment, which we are assured is genuine :
" I understand iO 000 is oilered as a
reward to whoever will kill the beast
Butler, of New Orleans. I accept the
offer, and require $2.",00 f irfeit, to bo
placed in some good hands. When I ac
complish the noble deed, I am to be paid
the reward. My name can be found
when desired by the proper persons."
1 bis is dated " incbester, lenn., .No
vember 2." Shall it go begging?
Nothing proves the great dearth of
materials for the manufacture of heroes
and martyrs in the Confederacy, than
the foolish rant of Davis and Y'eadon
about the execution of a creature who for
years has been the fellow of the Thugs and
brass-nuck ruffians of New Orleans.
His real character and otVnce, and the
dangerous character of the ruffians of
whom he was tho ringleader, are cor
rectly described in the following remarks
made by General Butler, at his reception
in Philadelphia :
You have been pleased to allude to an
act of - Lih executive responsibility,
whkbin the performance of duty, be
came a powerful necessity, and that is
the execution of William B. Mumford.
Applause. Owing to the teiuia in
which the so-called Confederate Govern
ment chose to demand from my (itvern
mcnt au account of that act, it was ren
dered impossible that any explanation or
report ever could be made. Having by
their oll'ensive language cut oil all possi
ble Government communication on the
subject, it was asguiued llir.t some wrong
wa done, and the proclamation which
you have doubtless all seen has been is
sued as a consequence. Perhaps it may
not be indelicate were I for a nu nient to
apeak of that act.
On the 2rUh of Apiil. if I
llie
so, and would not bo interfered with in
that act. Accordingly, on the next morn
ing, the Hag of the United States was
raised over the Mint the property of the
United States. After flying a short time,
a mob, headed by a drunken gambler, in
the presence of the fleet, in broad day
light, tore down the symbol of our na
tionality, that we ali reverence, and
dragged it, with, infamous outrage,
through tho ttreclg, tramping upon it and
fearing it in pieces, after which each went
his way.
j That act, in. its consequences, might
have been most calamitous. Ihe com
mander of the Federal fleet and the army
then coming up the river, had a right to
suppose that the city authorities had
come to the conclusion to renew the con
test, and the evident of thitt renewal
was the hauling down of the Hag. Ihe
commander of the fleet had no means of
knowing that this was done by mob,
and the act might and ought as a military
proposition, to have brought down npon
the city an lastant bombardmcut
But, through the very proper prccau
tiou of Commander Farrago t, but a shot
or two were fired, and no resistance fol
lowing, no special damage was done, it
resulting in the wounding of a single per
son. But, mark you, sir, it was not the
fault of Mumford that New Orleans was
not laid in ashes, and tho women and
children crushed beueath the 'shells of
the Federal licet. We were about taking
other towns and cities on the Mississippi
river. If every drunken rullian, by tear
in, by tearing down our flag, could bring
bombardment on every city along the
Mississippi river, thero was no safety to
tho non-combatants from tho operations
of war, nor in the surrender of places ;
and it was in mercy to the towns that
wn should take hereafter, and their in
habitants, that I felt it necessary to pun
ish, according to the just laws of war,
after a fair trial and full confession of
guilt, Wm. B. Mumford. To save hu
man life, and ameliorate the horrors of
war, it became necessary exemplarily to
punish this crime. I have a right to
say hero that, in no unauthorized man
ner, in the Department of tlx Gulf, has
any other flag of tho nation been taken
from tho place where it has been put bv
loyal hands. Loud applause. And
whether rightfully or wrongfully done,
that act still commends itself to my
judgment. More applause.
And seeing the utter worthlessness of
the man that treason has attempted to
exalt into a patriot, I was inclined to
spare Mumford, but that was not permit
ted to me. Hitt aoauciates, the Thugs,
rough, rowdies, gamblers, assembled in
New Orleans on the night before his ex
edition, and solemnly voted that Mum
ford should not be executed. It then
became a question whether the mob
should rule New Orleans as it bad done
for fifteen years previously, or tho com-
munding General of the United Hlates
forces. Lonir applause. From that
day, however, there has never been any
question on that subject. Laughter and
applause. J
I have been betrajed info saying very
different things from what I intended.
It was my simple purpose to thank you
for the kindness with which you have
sustained mo, and to add my congratu
lations to you and the country for the
avalanche of victories that is now How
inc: upon us. Applause. .1 look upon
the campaign in tho Southwest as now
substantially ended. The dan of the
rebels in that campaign was undoubtedly
to concentrate their forces upon Hose
crstis, and after having routed him, to
fall with greater concentration upon
Grant, and overwhelm him, rclievevicks
burg, and attempt, perhaps, to regaiu
rnew Orleans.
But it is the first step that costs; and
the first blow to conquer Ilosecrans hav
ing failcdP I do not think we will have
anything to fear in the Southwest. 1
think we have net yet sufficiently appre
ciated the services of that brave and no
ble soldier, liosccrans, and what he has
accomplished by the battle of Murfreea
boro'. Applause. If there is any thing
iu the world a man might desire, it is bis
fame, nobly won on the lield of baltle,
even in the face of defeat.
tho civil emigrating party to Cuba is, by
reports, now over 2i,000. Of this num
ber about 7,000 or 8,000 s re ready to '
move for Cuba; and as your Excellency
has told m you had every confidence in
me, and you, tho Hon. JMr. Thompson,
have assured me that the Federal otllcera
of New Orleans and Mobilo would be in
structed to "let me and my emigrant
friends pass." I now very respectfully
request that you place in the hands of
our mutual friends, Mr. C. Gallaway and
- r a sm . . . . .

htncht,'' your most faithful supporters,
the necessary passports for my bonont,
and the sum of $10,000 secret service
funds for the use and benefit of v
those editors as above in supporting your
cause in acquiring Cuba by civil emigra
tion, and with the use of that amount
they will be enabled earnestly and effec
tually to co-operate with you for the ac
complishment of that great object. Tbe
political position of the "Avalanche," as
a true Democratic Administration paper,
enables that paper to wield the necessa
ry influence in successfully accomplish
ing the acquisition of Cuba before the
termination of the present Administra
tion, and the political aspect now loudly
calls for it.
e
Although this proposition is made to
you without the knowledge of those gen
tlemen, I know from conversations with,
them that their feelings are deeply inter
ested in the success of this great object,
and they are ready to act whenever they
are placed in possession of the means to
do so, and without those means I sm in
clined to believe that they are powerless
to do anything. I shall, therefore, be
pleased to have you place in the hands of
M. C. Gallaway the necessary passports
for me, and place in tho hands of C. M.
Campbell $10,00 for the support of the
Cuban cause. This you can do by
special agent, or by forwarding to me a
check for that amount for their bo tie fit.
I had contemplated leaving here by the
101 li instant, but preparatory arrange
ments will prevent my leaving before the
loth of rovetnber. Iherefm-e, your de
spatches will reach me here, and, while I .
awtit your reply, you will easily appre
ciate my anxiety to hear from as early S
may l your pleasure and convenience.
I Si.vo the honor to lie, your obedient
servant, N. H. KKNKAU.

pays this officer the fallowing tribute :
In the death of Lieut.-CoI. Garesche.
Chie f of tbe Staff of Maj -Gen. Ilosecrans,
we have lost not only tho services of au
accomplished officer, but the presence nd
influence of a high-toned, earnest, nd
liuiti ah man. In giving himiM If to
lie life he found no occasion or excusn
for giving up privato virtues ;. he retained
always a quick sense of right, a delicate
sensitiveness of harat, a ready sympa
thy with suffering. The arduous duties
and tedious, details of his tiSRcia! labors,
when Assistant Adjutant-General in,
the War Department, never made him
forgetful of urbanity of manner, gentle
ness of speech, and readiness to listen
patiently to any one who rightfully
claimed bis help. I remeiubrir well how
kindly, almost tenderly, ho one day
turned froni his desk and took up the
papers aud the cause ot a poor blind wo
man who came pctioriiDg that her only
sou, a mere boy, might be given back to
her from tho ranks of tbe army; and the
very last time that I saw Col. Garesche,
I chanced to meet biru at the office of (he
Sanitary CommUniou, where be had
gone lo leave with bis own hand a dona
tion for the bene lit of the soldiers; for,
as I incidentally learned, when lie waa
promoted from the rank of major to that
of lieutenant-colonel, be agreed with a
fellow-officer promoted at the same timo
that they would give to the Commission
for tho first month what was added to
their salaries by increase of rank. It Is
a simple incident, but it illmtrtie Xfom
ie point the man. UartHche was
one of tho founders and cllk-uni worker
of more than one charitable association,
as those who have received Ihs kindly
benefit of the "St. Vincent d l'-ul flo
cit l.v" and "St. Patrick's Coiif. rcnoe"
can' testify. Neglecting no cfliiiia! duty,
he found limc often lo minster i tho
poor and sick with his own bands. My
the country and the service bate many
such men, and llie wir call fur fmr
enih sacrifices !
