day last, to adopt measures for the removal OF
the bodies of Col. Yell and his brave compatrio,s
who fell at Bucna Vista,,and to erect, at Little
Rock, suitable monument, in communication of
their valor and patriotism. AT which, commit
tee was appointed 10 collect contributions for that
purpose. This committee will be prepared with
subscription lists, and will call upon each of our
citizens, for his mite towards The performance OF
this grateful duty. We should remember that
when the intelligence roaclci Us that our rcg-
mcnt had failed to perform its duty-that many
had deserted their coors in the hour Of BATTLE our
Indignation and notification were incalculabc:


that we felt like flying to the battle field, and
there with lifo-bloo vindica,c the honor OF
our State. And as the tidrngs were heraIdrd, that
there were spirits on that field WHO upheld the
honor Of our State our admiration and feeling Of
gratitude were as unbDundrd. What less can we
do than to rear monument, as n.gratcful tribdt".
TO tho memory of those who yielded up their
lives, but saved the honor of our State!
