The Latest Fallaoy of Sidney
The Journals correspondent, SIDNEY, (of the
l3lst o N. o. writing from Baltimore, un.
dertakes to prove to the world, how, indirect
ly, the l3lst regiment, has rendered important
service to the country. Here is the argument:
1--WE relieved, when we came here, the 9th
New York ARTILLERY, which had garrisoned
these forts for twenty months. They Joined
Grant 1900 strong, and stood by him from
Spottsyvsnia TO Petersburg. That regiment
Hoio numbers less than 500 Den-exhibiting
fearful loss, but showing, at the same time,
that they have been Of most invaluable ser
vice to Grant. Are we, then, not able to see
in this, that the countrylhas enjoyed material
benefits, by us leaving Ohio and going into
The service for hundred days.
While we take pleasure in recognizing the
good intentions of the one hundred days
men, We are forced to confess that we cannot
see, by the showing of Sidney" the mate
rial beneGts" to the country, resulting from
the service of the regiment in question. By
relieving the 9th New York Artillery that Or
ganization has lost 1900 of its men, this is
certain. That by this terrible sacrifice they
rendered Invaluable service to GRANT" is
also fair inference. Gen. Grant has been
peculiarly blest with that sort Of Service
since he crossed the Rapidan. Bat with all
the Invaluable service" which the blood of
hetacombs can render him, where are the
material benefits to the country r. Repuls-
ed and foled at every step during campaign
of over three months-sultry months of in
credible hardships and astounding losses--the
shattered and decimated army Of the Potomac,
having accomplished infinitely worse than
nothing, is toIing and wasting, all bloody
with recent repulse, in the trenches before
