To the officers of the regiment, for encouragement and aid; to Lieut. S. F. FLINT, for valuable poems, written expressly for these pages; and to Rev. W. R. GOODWIN, Pastor M. E. Church, Lincoln, Illinois, for services rendered in reviewing the manuscript, we make our sincere and grateful acknowledgments.
We now throw ourself upon the generosity of the public, disclaiming any pretensions to literary merit, hoping that we will be dealt with gently.
