TESTIMONIAL TO CAPTAIN EDGARToy.-
We have noted the presentation of sword
to Captain W. P. Edgarton from his Compa-
ny, subsequent to his return to the field of
his captivity. A correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Gazette, writing from the Army of
the Cumberland, speaks in the following high
terms Of that officer:
" While upon the subject of sword present.
ationS, let me speak OF another which took
place in Nashville some time ago. Every
body knows how Captain w. P. Edgarton,
commanding battery of Ohio artillery, was
captured by the rebels at Stone river. Every
bodyknoWs, toe, how some in high places have
meanly attempted to make him responsible
for the disastrous consequences Of their own
lneompetency. But his men knew better
They knew that he hut obeyed orders, even
IN that which seemed in him mistake.
they knew how bravely he had ever borne
himself in presence of the foe, and how faith
fully he had served his country. They knew
too, how, on the terrible day Of Stone river.
he had exhibited the most dauntless heroism.
assisting with his own hands to load and FIRE
his pieces amid a storm of iron, and when
rebel bayonets were cleaning at his very
oreast-and they love him, as American SOL
diers always love ability and courage. So,
after be had returned to them from his long
and tiresome captivity in Libby Prison, they
purchased beautiful and costly sword, and
presented it to their beloved captain. The
gift is no less gratifying to him than to his
numerous friends in the army and in the
Buckeye State"
