Testimony Of am Opponent!

An attempt has been made by more
than one of the Locofoco organs, TO rob
Gen. Scott of the laurels he so gallantly
won at Lundy's Lane. This effort a,
disparagement of the leading actor in
that event, which redounded SO much to
the honor and glory of our country, and
the speedy aud honorable termination of
the war, has been prominent feature
of their warfare upon the noble chieltain,
more particularly since the glorious eel
ebra,ion of the anniversary of the event,
and has me; with the same complete
refutation that has overthrown all their
other wicked inventions against, and
wanton libels upon the war-scarred pa
triot. The evidence of impartial histo-
ry has shown Gen. Scott to be the hero
of the engagement a, Lundy's Lane, as
also of the previous conflict at Chippe-
wa. In addition to this, the discomht.
.ure of his maligners is rendered more
complete, if possible, and certainly more
humiliating, by the testimony of the AL
bany (New York; Argus. The Kings
ton Journal has the original Extra .4r-
gus, from which the following glowing
account of the battle was copied:
"HoNOR THE BRAVE!--BAT-
TIE OF BRIDGEWATER.
Albany Argus Extra, Aug. 2--night.
On the 25th ull., the army under the
command Of Maj. Gen. Brown encamp-
ed above Chippewa, near the battle
ground on the 5;h. The Ist brigade un.
der Brig. Gen. Scott now moved past
Chippewa, and halted at Bridgewater, a
mile below Chippewa, in plain view Of
Niagara Falls. Gen. Scott learned that
the enemy was approaching. and imme-
diately gave him battle. The enemy's
numerical force was much superior to
Gen. SCOTS; his line was far extended
and he showed disposition to flank; in
order to counteract these views he was
fought in detachment-he vas charged
In column GEN. SCOTT BEING
AT THE HEAD OF HIS TROOPS
IN ALMOST EVERY CHARGE -
The action was continued, and the
ground maintained for more than an
hour before the reserve was successfully
brought into action.
Brig. Gen. Scott was severely woun-
ded by shell or cannon shot--having
lost two horses killed.
1t would be impossible 10 put the ac-
tion OF the 25lh on paper. Considering
the numbers engaged, the history Of
modern wars will scarcely produce par
allel The admiration of this Ma
TION will follow those who fought,
those who bled, and those who fell--to
tkeir graves; their names will be justly
added TO that brilliant catalogue of wor-
thies, the heroes OF the Hevolution.--
And the battle of Bridgewater will be
remembered by pos,eriiy, with the same
sensations as those of Bunker Hill and
Saratoga"
The Argus, in 1914, was as emphatic
as it was just, in its praise of the gal
liant conduct of Gen. Scott. 1t now
joins with other of its party presses to
strip from the brow Of the veteran Hero,
the laurels which it once helped TO place
there. 10 what extremes will partizan-
