The office of Colonel of the Caddo Regi
ment was resigned by me after the great re
duction of the force of the Regiment by vol
unteering. I notified Gen. Simmons of tie
step I had taken, and requested him as
Gommander of the Brigade, to address his
orders toLt. Col. James B. Sims, who would
assume command. Col. Sims, regasding
my resignation as an accomplished fact,
rightly considered himself as Commander of
the regiment, and when be received an order
from Commissioner Wren relative to the re
moval of cotton beyond the reach of the ene
my, (while a similar one came to me), he
made the proper public order, as Lt. Col.
Commanding.
No notification having been made to me
of the acreptance of my resignation. but,
strange to say, receiving orders, regularly
from the Executive office of the State, I
very naturally supposed that His. Excellen
cy had declined to accept my Resignation;
and fearing a Court Martial upon my diso
hediuence, it appears, (and I learn it for the
first time to-day July 2st) that I have been
exercising autlhority which I did not pus
sess. I may be justly regarded as atrepas
ser upon the transferred right of my friend
Simrs, through ignorance of my real posi
tion; and I make this publication for the
twofold purpose of acknowledging my error
and of laying down authority I have inno
cently usurped.
All orders.purporting to be official, given
by me as colonel of the regiment, since the
Ith of July last, are herby revoked as null
and void.

honors to the Dead.
The follow anginterestingincidents,
says the Natchiroches Unioii, was
kindly handed to us sometime ago, by
Capt. Cloutier. We publish it with
pleasure. Young Kile was amember
of one of our volunteer companies and
the tribute paid to his memory by our
Southliern frienLd in Kentucky is wor
thy ofpraise:
A Confaderate soldier who was
wounded at the battle of P'ittsburg
Lauding, and who was being convey
ed to Louisville as a prisoner, died of
his wounds between Evansville and
'Owensboro, and after being stripped
of his old clotnii::g, was thrownintoan
old wooden box which was about three
iuches to short for him, and left on the
wharf boat to be buried by our citi
zeus. A meeting was called by the
Southern citizens of the town, and
preparations made for asuitable burial
at one o'clock on Thursday. Long
before the appointed time, our streets
were thronged with people from all
sections of the country who had come
to witness the solemnceremony. At
two o'clock the remsains were convey
ed to the Methodist church, where an
impressive and eloquent funeral ora
tion was delivered by Rev. Dr. Nich
olson. The number of spectators at
the church was variously t stluia:e 1 at
from 1000 to 1J:00. After the exer
'I ses at the church were concluded, the
procession repaired to the celmetary,
where they deposited the remains of
the brave but unfortunate soldier,
who dieti while nobly battling in de
fense of his, and his country's cause.
It may be consolation to the ;fiends
of the deceasedV to know-though bur
ied among strangers, in a strange
land-that he was interred in a man
nor becoming his cause, and that thou
sands efsyuipathizing tears were shed
over his grave for the loved ones at
home, and many a fervent prayer of
fered up to God for his safe deliver
ance to ihat haven of rest, where strife
dissensions and abolitionism never
enter, and where peace and harmony
reign forever.
Soldier rest ! thy warfare o'er,
Dream oftighting fields no more;
Sleep the sleep that knows no break
ing
Morn of toil or night of waking.
The name of the soldier was A.
Kile. It was stated that he belonged
to company C. 18th regiment Louisi
ana volunteers. He was of dark comn
plexion, had black hair and eyes, and
was well formed. He was six feet
three inches high.-Owensboro

r among the killed on our side at the
late battle, was Major Wheat, or as
Sit ought to have been, Col. F, Wheat,
At the time of his death Co. Wheat
commanded the battallion known as
Wheat's Louisiana Special, or Tiger
r battalion. Col. Wheat was a native
Sof Virginia, but emigrated to Louis
iana when a mere boy, ,where he
studied law with Christian Roselina,
but showing always a. great fondness
1 for military life. He was for a short
- time in this State, fighting anet
j the Mexicans in 1835 or '36:..sub
- sequently he was connected: with
both the Lopez and Quitman expe
ditions, organized with a view of
taking possession of Cuba. When
Gen, Walker organized his Nicara
'gua expedition he took an active
part, being present at nearly all the
the battles in that whole country
-rising to the rank of a General, in
that service, gaining the admiration
of his men by his courage and be-:
havior. When Lincoln was electied
he was one of the first to join tifih
banner of secession, being Secretary
of the Convention which declared
Louisiana to be no longer a member
of the Federal Union. When it be
came evident thtt the North was
intending to use coercive means to
subdue the South, he conferred with
several of his Nicaragua companions
to raise companies, and within five
days after the consultation, four
companies were ready to take the
I field, composed principally of men
iwho had seen service in Nicaragua.
A country company, the Catahoula
'(Guerillas, joined the other four, and
they were the first troops from New
Orleans to go to Virginia. How
they behaved at Manassas is known
to every Southerner. Col. Wheat
whilst gallantly leading the charge
was shot through the lungs and re
covered almost by a miracle. All
the officers of the battallion were
either killed or wounded. Captains
White, McLaughlin and West were
killed. Capt. Struss was leading the
battalion for a last charge against
Ricket's Battery, when he also fell,
La shell bursting near him which
wounded him severely and killed
about a dozen men. Only 1 officer
escaped unhurt. The battallion lost
198 men in killed and wounded out
of 380. As soon as the news reach
ed New Orleans men flocked together
to reorganize the old Battallion, and
Wheat, as soon as he recovered,
found himself at the head of a large
amount of nmen, about 600, with the
rank of Lieut. Col., having been
promoted by the President for his
gallantry, and since shared all the
privations of soldiers' life. Peace to
his ashes. No braver or better man
than Wheat ever commanded a body
of troops. He was the idol of his
men. The country has met with a
severe loss and his name will become
a household word among future gen
orations as the manwho led 480 men
armed with rifles and Bowie-knives
against a battery of rifled pieces and
four regiments of ifnetry, armed
with the best weapons. But this
war has already cost the life-blood
of many a gallant spirit, and who
can say how many more;l-Houston

Parson Brownlow is reaping a gold

from his speech at the accademy of

Brooklin yielded about $1200, and
he gets elsewhere, on an average,.
about $1000 for each speech. He
receives $10,000 for the copywright
of the coming book, and will cotne
out of his trouble a rich man.
