Three enlisted men--thc first so honor.

bravery in the field. General Meade
made the presentation speech, and a
: galaxy ofsturs" were on aud around the
speakers stand to add importance TO the
occasion. Such rewards will inspire .he
men with extra courage. aud invgorutc
them with the love II Union aud Liberty.
II is mark OF respect worthy of great
lul nation. The private soldier who
forsukes his fumiy aud home TO sustain
his country in its hour of peril, is a pa.
triot in the true ucccptation Of the term,
and should not be forgotten by the ma.
tlon. when he has done ii service worthy
Of notice aud reward. The United

by the soldier nl the Union as ever was
