most of them arrived on Saturday and Monday
last The Assistant Secretary of War and
other prominent officers were present, at their
embarkation and assisted in carrying the woun-
died men on board as if they were brothers.
The Richard yelling with the wounded men in
charge Of Gen. Davis proceeded up the Del
aware to Philadelphia, and thence by river and
canal to New York and up the North river to
Troy, without breaking bulk, giving her passen
gers quiet and comfortable voyage. At Phil
adelphia the men were met by Coils. II. H.
Baxter, S. NJ. Waite and b. b. Smal!ey of the
Governors staff. who rendered every assistance
in their power and devoted themselves to min
intering to the comfort of the men and expedi-
ting their journey. On their arrival at New
York Col. Frank E. Howe, Agent for the State
of Vermont and also of the New England
Soldiers Relief Association, together with
other leading members of that Association
joined with the officers in charge of the men in
providing for their every want. Our State
authorities feel under deep obligation to COL
Howe and this Association, and to Charles
Stetson of the Astor House, Maj Pullen and
other gentlemen for their numerous acts of
kindness to our wounded men, Mr.. Stetson
with his usual generosity rendered the men
anything eatable or drnkable that his house
afforded, which of course includes everything
that can be found anywhere. Wines, liquors,
food and delicaces were all at the service of
the men and they were urged to draw freely
This is but one of the many acts of kindness to
Vermont soldiers that have cndeared the name
of Charles Stetson to every Vermonter.
The correspondence of the New York Post, re-
lative to the neglect and want of care and at
tention which marked the conduct of the off.
GERS in charge towards the men when at Phil.
adelphia, is foul SANDER. and could only be
dictated by ignorance or malice 1t is the
unanimous testimony of the men that they were
well cared for in every possible particular. The
other New York papers took great pains to
inquire into the matter and satisfied themselves
that the report was untrue in every essential
particular. The truth was inconsiderate people
rushed aboard and under mistaken sense of
kindness attempted to feed sick men with
doughnuts, cake and bon bons that would de-
range well stomachs. In this they were prop
erly checked by Gen. Davis who well knew that
such food would do the men more harm than
good Everything possible under the circum
stances was done TO relieve their distress and
make them comfortable.
Twelve OF those most severely wounded were
left at the New York Hospital, where Col.
Howe spent Sunday with them in reading TO
them, writing letters for them, &c. When
asked what books they wanted, if any, they
called for a Bible or Recommendations un
consciously showing of what stuff our soldiers
are made and reminding one of their courageous
Puritan ancestors of Cromwells victorious
army.
