In consequence of.in unfortunate disagree went. between myself and the Comma nder-mChicf of this Department, I have been relieved >f my command, and am about to retire from lie Army.?Without attempting to explain lie ciicumstances of this disagreement, or prciiidicing the public mind, by a premature appeal to its judgment, ! must be permitted to sxpress my unqualified conviction of the rectitude of my conduct and that time and investigation will amply vindicate my action on the Held of the Chickamauga. 1 cannot, however, part even temporarily with the gallant officers and soldiers of my old Corps, without the deepest feeling of regret and a heartfelt expression of my gratitude for the courage, conduct and devotion they have always manifested while under my command, Belmont, Shiloh. Perryvillef Murfreesbor[>ugh and Chickamauga, all attest on your part the very highest soldierly qualities, and are crowded with precious memories.

Soldiers who struggle in such a cause and with such hearts "can never be conquered.'* Clouds and darkness may enshroud you for a time, but the sunlight of the future is bright and glowing, the blood of patriots is never shed in vain, and our final victory is certain and as snrcd. m Whoever commands you, my earnest exhortation and request to you is, to fight on and fight ever, with true hearts until your independence is achieved.?Thousands of hearts may fall crushed and bleeding under the weapons of the foe, or the passions or mistakes of friends, but the great cause must never be sacrificed, or our Hag abandoned. Our cause is " just and your duty to your country and God is as clear as the sun in the heavens. 1 leave my command in the care of the bravest of the brave, who has often led them in the darkest hour of their trials; he and you will have my hopes and prayers to the Iiuler of the Universe for your happiness and success.
