Mr. Willey, Chaplain of the regiment, acting in Mr. Englisb’s behalf. There was a universal regret that Mr. Engilis! ‘was unable to be present, butthe most soonest made by the chaplain, whose allusions to the Colonel’s self-denyiny labors and trials in behalf of this regiment, and to his very in leading them during the trying scenes through ‘whick they had so recently passed, were met by the involuntary confirmation of heaving breasts and moistened eyes. At the conclusion, ne rousing Cheérs from the entire regiment for Mr. English testified the universal feeling toward the genercus donor. The following letter accom- panied the gift: Wasnineton.
