amd Colonel IV FrfTtte Farrar ana Two saral On cers, svnd a Beceptioa '1 Mrs. Hwbson. The officers and men of the Second Louisiana were given a reception last night at tbe rress Club. Colonel Wood. Lieutenant Colonel Dufour and nearly all of the other officer wre present, besides many of the privates.

There were a number of members and ladles also present, including Air. Hobson and her daughter. Colonel John C. Wlckllffe wa master of ceremonies and carried out tha pro gramme well. Tb Lomaian Fieia Ar tillery rurxusnea mutac.

xuv w.r two officers of the navy present. Lieutenant Magruder and Lieutenant Qulnby, of the Nashville. The speaking was from a small plat frm in tbe oarlor. which was crowded to Its capacity. Colonel Wlckllffe said that the Press Club had Invited the guests there to give an Informal welcome to the officers ana men ot tne newuu Louisiana, which had hed luster on the state that sent them out at their coun try' call, and while they were not per mitted to take active part, credit wa due to them for their wlUlngre to fight, and.

in the word of tne poet, credit was due "to those who only stand and wait." Tbe men responded when every man believed he wa to risk his Hie In battle; they went away raw recruit and came back veterans with a record for obedience and oiacrpune ana sonuerij conduct, comvUmented by every general officer under whom they bad served, and the highest compliment that could be given a regiment waa that it waa second only to tha Second Louisiana. Speaking on behalf of tha Preaa Club and tbe people of New Orleans, be tendered tbe memoer 01 ue wcguu uiomi av and thanked them in the name of tha city which seat them for the record they nad maae. ue saia mai when they again took up the responalblU- tie ox citizens nip nana 01 every kiv lxeu wa stretched forth to them and every heart went out to them, and the aid of the neoDle would be extended to any one wbo needed IX. Ldeutenam tjotonei uuiuur was tuca Introduced. He said that last week he waa asked by a representative of tbe Prcsi Club while in Savannah to say a few words last night In behalf of.

the ree intent. Af that time he little thought 01 tne CBLfluBtagiii aaa aiauncsa wiut watch he would De received on nis return: hr had been able to take but few stops without congratulations for the cfl-ccrs aid men of tbe regiment. lie desired to return thanfca for the officers and xaen for tne invitation ana to say a. few words as to tht record of tho regiment. "A littla less than a year ago," be said, wa marched through the city and took our departure, and those who saw us then will remember the splendid demonstration; It was enough to make our men or officers have forgotten it, and if hearts awell with pride.

None of tha the regiment, ha gained any distinction It has been on account of the farewell that waa given us and because were determined to honor tbe people who gave a tnat goea py aemonairauoav we have bean bandied about mora than any regiment in tbe service. At Mobil we were under the command of one of the best men in the army, a man who entered the union army as a soldier of fortune and cam out a major general. On our arrival there we tbougnt that owing to the fact that we were from tbe south and supposed to be acclimated we would be sent to the front, and the people will never know nor appreciate the devotion ot the officers and men to be prepared. No labor waa too much for any enlisted man, because all knew tnat tbev were fitting themselves for work. When we left Mobile thought we were oemg nurnea to tne xrout, ana when ordered to Mis ml tbe men broke camp with great enthusiasm, because they thought that our would be waiting for us.

Our experience at Miami is too sad to relate, and under tne burning sands we left seven mn, their loss being due to tbe Ignominy or ig norance of those wbo should have known better, and there are men here In civil life whose Infirmities tell the tal of their suae ring. "After arriving- at Jacksonville, and being under the command of Generals Swan and Carpenter and Sitahugh Le we discovered that our term ot active service would be spent as conservators of the peace. The regiment was moved to Cuba In December, and bad the good fortune to lead the American troops through Havana, aa we had prayed we might do If the city waa taken by storm. The appearance and behavior of the men was splendid, and at the reviewing stand General Lee aald to General Brooke: 'Here come to Louisiana Tigers; you mt; have met them before General Brooke smiled and said, 1 think I have. "Our experience in Cuba will be pleasantly remembered; tbe men were healthy and enjoyed It, and after three months, when we returned home, we had not lost a single man by disease, which I think is a monument to the officers and men alike.

The regiment returned to the city without an official welcome, because the officers and men preferred to receive the kisses of their female relatives and the handshake of their male relatives rather than to hear speeches. The success of the regiment was due to Its unity. No officer was ever called upon to command a better Set of men: the men all took pride In their appearance, and In carrying oat tne sanitary reguiatlona. i trnst that we bave pleased you: wa have tried to be worthy sons of tbe men who wrote their names on tne pages of history. It was unfortunate that we were not to fight, but if soldiers are to be ganged by obedience and wllHngneas to wait, tha soldlera of the Second Lonlalame deserve credit, and neither the officera nor men can claim ail tne credit.

On behalf of the officers and men I thank you for this reception." When Colonel Dufour had finished speaking' Colonel WickUATe made some touching allusions to the cervices of the army nurses and Introduced, as a daughter of New Orleans, born on the bank of the Mississippi, Miss Blanche Packard, wbo waa a nurse at Santiago. Miss Packard aald that she could see in her Imagination the poor boy lying dying In the hosTjltal at Santiago, and aha waa im pelled to go there snd nurse them; her father refused to consent to her going. out ner moiner partial consent, and she She could now see in her Imagination the little white cots. and the poor. looking oat ever the bay with that terrible longing- that she under.

stood so welL It was impossible to tell of tbe horrors of Santiago in July- and Aurnst, mere are motners ner who hovs never came btck. inA ha are broken-hearted," and they alone appreciate the terror. Miss Packard referred to the; many case where it waa impossible to save life, and said she felt that each one of the poor boy wa a brother, She commented on tbe bravery ef th patients and said that during the whole five month that she was In the hospital there she never heard a complaint. The bova would only say, "Please don't put me out on the porch." Those who were given up to uie wcw L7u- rvna, our in ner ward abe refused to do this, and At let them know It the final moment nmi. Every one of them died Hk.

The saddest thing she saw wa where treat, prawny men uwi wiia their hands damping; the little fold tocaets-that they had about their necks. 'Tr She said that it was a 'nj, wa perleace of Which she could never soeak without sorrow, and she begged that In welcoming home the conquering heroes they should not fOTget Santiago boanitaL wlA its porch fulf of dylngrne Sbe told of some of the sight! there which she had opportunity to see in the three day which were all she had for that purpose out of five months.
