was chairman of the committes that re
he had left no effort untried TO
bring about this .encAmpment, a work
for which, at the time. the other members
and himself had been roundly censured by
their consti tuents. They said "You are
squanderlng ths states money on q big
picnic party. There is 40 need for
militia" Large numbers OF tha objectors
had visited both encampments and OF the
thousands Kthat did come,- there we're
not ten men among them all who
would say that this money had not
been well spent. He could go back 10 bis
constituents feeling that he was vindicated.
Colonel Newell 10 response to calls said
that the ground bad been we'll covered by
the preceding speakers, but as Wilmington
member OF the staff there was great salts
faction 20 him that tho thousands that VIII
mington had sent out here, there was not
ONE In hundred who did not believe thai
the cncampmont was a good thing. The
people OF Wilmington had locked upon the
sncampmsHt as pic nic, and he felt proud
OF the soldiers shat they had removed that
impression.
This ended the speech making and visis
was made to the surgeons tent and cheers
given for surgeons Marshall, Robinson and
Ellegood and Hospital Steward Eagle.
Ahoat 90 p. M, the line officers OF the
regiment and troop assembled in dress
parade before Colonel's Woods tent, when
Lieutenant Townsend OF Co. b stepped for
ward and said that the commissioned
sficeEs had visited the commanding officer
TO testify in a small way their appreciation
of one who had done so much TO maks the
militia Of the state pToacisnt. His condutt
OF the eucampment stamped him soldier
every inch.
The Colonel responded, thanking the
men for the compliment paid him, and said
tnat he was glad that he had the respect OF
his officers. He said that that respect was
returned. Upon them as well as himself
great responsibility rested, aud 1t was q
great pleasure to him 60 receive the compli'
ments from his officers 10 respect 10 the
soldicrly qualities Of the boys. Adiutan'
Harman was called upon and made few
remarks, thanking the officers He said
that be was glad shat Camp DUPONT hat
been such a success.
The officers then formed in line with th'
Colonel at their head and marched to th'
Generals headquarters. The entre part
entered, where more speeches followed.
