From the Albany Evening Journal
We rejoice to learn that Gen. Scott has yielded
to the solicitation Of the citizens of Western New
York. backed by the entreaties of his old comrades,
torevisit the fields upon which he fought and bled
but conquered. in 1914 1t is time-high time
that the fields of Chippewa and Bridgewater should
witness o popular demonstration of American
gratitude.
The Niagara frontier is the scene ofScotts earlies
exploits 1t was there that he 'feshed his maiden
swold"-t was there that he fought battles which
established the bravery and prowess Of an American
army-ba battles which taught England to respect and
all Europe to honor us
The review, therefore, of the troops which the oc
cason will draw together, will be one of exceeding
interest. A review Of 5000 Austrian conscripts
by the Emperor Of Russia, which we a few
weeks since, dazzled the eye; but the review O.
10000 citizen soldiers by the veteran hero o
Queenstown, Chippewa, Lundy's Lane, Cerro Gordc
and Churubusco, (who resembles the Emperor o
Russia only in his majestic form and soldierl,
bearng) will touch the hearts of lOOOoO grateful
Americans.
