State They had been the bravest where all
we're brave, they had turned the tide of battle
when others fatered, and by their steady cour-
age, and unainchng heroism, had swept back
victorious enemy and saved their corps from an
nhilstion.-And at Gettysburg the I'd Brigade
showed the same gallant bearing, the same un-
wagering courage the same brilliant dash which
had made their older brothers in arms so con-
spicuous in the Army of the Potomac. Never
before in action, they yet went into the fight as
calmly and steadily as veterans. In the front
line Of the battle they stood unmoved under
the terrific fire from one hundred rebel guns.
A loss of more than 100 to regiment gives
mournful evidence of the heroism which, on the
the bloody fields near Gettysburg, covered
them, and their native State. with unfading lau-
rels. They captured battery and three stands
of colors from the enemy, and won from their
commanding officer the following commenda-
ton :

sustaining terrific fire from seventy-fve to one
hundred pieces of artillery. He congratulates
them upon contributing SO essentially to the
glorious, and-it is to be hOped-fnal victory of

AN EXPLANATION NEEDED. Some weeks
since an editorial appeared in the .4rgus and
Patriot making an assault on the Watchman for
the alleged disloyaty Of the latter paper several
years ago. The Wdtchman Immediately showed
that the assault was wholly groundless, and false
and short time afterwards charged the au-
thorship of the article upon S. B. Colby, ESQ, of
this village, then member of the Union State
Committee. This charge Mr.. Colby, we regret
to say, has not yet publicly denied.
Two weeks ago the Rutland Courier charged
Mr.. Colby with the authorship of two articles in
the Argus and Patriot of May 20h Lasts two
articles in the same paper of June 4th. In one
of these articles Mr.. C. is stated to have used
the following language:
Yet some Republicans and abolitionists, here
in Vermont, claim to be the model and standard
OF loyalty Abolition loyalty in Vermont! we
lack for words OF our own to express its absurd
hypocrisy "
We expected Mr.. c. would at once deny this
charge publicly, but we think he has not vet done
so. Both this article in the Courier, and the pre-
vious one in the Watchman we think called for an
answer, and it is not impossible that both of them
may be believed to Mr.. C's. prejudice, unless be

circumstances. He is now publicly acting with the
