—The telegraph has ere this announced the sad news winch it is my mournful duly to speak of more in detail.
The same event which gave victory to our arms and fame to our heroic regiment, deprived you of a beloved son and his company of a noble commander.
Capt. O'Rielly was a true type of a generous hearted man : his virtues and bravery were akin, endearing hini to all who knew him. Endowed with a mind highly cul- tivated for one so young, he lent a charm to tlie circle in which he moved. To say... that he inspiri'd his men with enthusiasm on the field, is hut a slight tribute to his memory. He fell gallantly, saying, " Jioi/s^Jof/oir me ! — Foriiard ! " — words which will lollow his name while history continues to record the daring and unlliiiching courage of the regiment to which he behmged.
Called into the field as the ''First Excelsior" was, when the tide was fast setting against our troops— con- tending with a rebel brigade on the left and an unheard- of fire from as many more on the front — they rushed boldly on— pushing the enemy as they went — never leav- ing their post till long after their ammunition had given out, and they had succeeded in breaking the Confederate lines three times at the point of the bayonet, and the ground far in advance filled with their dead and wounded comrades — they won the distinguished honor, as expressed to them by Ceo.
