Fieldf

Fisldf
Some Of the secsssiOn-sympathizing sheets
of New York are endeavoring to belittle the
services of Gen. Wadsworth, by representing
that no has not seen danger in the service Of
his country. The following extract from the
eloquent speech of Hon. Henry B. Stanton, de.
livcred 10 the Brooklyn Academy Of Music on
the 7th instant, is complete refutatIon Of these
sneaking insinustions:
LET me relate an incident. In the battle Of

stripes, led The regiment to the charge That
officer was Jas. S. Wadsworth.''
The above incident Is fully corroborsted by
Two members Of the Fourteenth regiment who
have just this moment left our Office They
were both captured at the Bull Bun battle and
have been prisoners In Richmond up to recent
date. Their names are G. W. Bennett and Geo
W. Dwepger, They says that the above Incl
dent Is literally true, and that the encourage
ment given by Gen. Wadsworth's thrilling
words aid inspiring conduct in the hottest Of
the fight, on that bloody field, did much to in
spirs the soldiers to the charge. These men
say that there are plenty Of the Fourteenth
