AN lNFAMoEs ToRY--GeOrge APplcton Hone,
Of NassachuSets.-Col B. T. Edmands of the
first Massachusetts infantry, on the receipt of the
remains of the brave Lincoln, who fell at Buena
Vista, wrote to this disgrace in a Americanuni-
form, Mai Gen. APpIeton H01Uc, requesting him
to call cut, in his own name, such officers of The
division as desired TO participate in the ceremo-
nies. The General sends him reply, from
which we Gull the following remarks; and if thew
do not stick and blister the Hoace breed while
there is any of them left, it will be because the
American people are most forgving race
The insult is worthy of the worst tory of the
revolution; and were there enough such Generals
in Massachusetts, they would drag down the Bun
ker Hill monument:


"llad Captain Lincoln fallen in a good cause,
IN the defence of his country, no one would have
been moro ready than myself TO do him honor;
but, IN the invasion of another country, he loses
all my sympathy and all my respect.


He should be placed
on par with the volunteer corpse of the army,
whose antamy, hope, may be lasting as the
cause they have espoused.


II seems TO me that the cause in which he fell
is one which ought to with shame, instead of
honor, all who are engaged in it.
