SECOND ARMY CCRPS BIRTHDAY
Representatives Cummings and
SlckIes Make Ringing Speeches.
SOME OF THEPEOPLE PRESENT

Last night the surviving members of the
second corps of the Army of the Potomac
celebrated the thirtysecond birthday of the
corps at Wormley's Hotel by a sumptuous
banquet. The banquet hall was profusely
decorated with flags and palms, while the
corps badge-the trefoil-was worked out in
all conceivable designs.
The long table terminated In a trefoil of
national colors, about which were seated
the invited guests Gen. Daniel K. Sickles,
Gen. r. n. Batchelder, Col j. b. Batchel
der, Gen. H. II. Bingham, Col. Nj. Z. Urell
and Representative Amos J. Cummings.
The old battles in which the second corps
figured were fought over again, and the &C.
casion was one Of the happiest ever known
in the history OF the organization.
After the menu had been thoroughly over
hauled Capt. John T. Brady was selected
postmaster, and in happy speech intro
duced the speakers.
Maj. Gen. John Gibbons responded to the
toast, The Union for which we fought"
The speaker was greeted with cheers, and
the band played The Star Spangled Ban
per" Gan. Gibbons said the toast was an
appropriate one. We fought for the Consti-
tuition, We fought to maintain free and in
dependent states and We succeeded. The
contest was a hard one. and in this struggle
most of the harGships fell upon the private
soldier. At the polls and on the Fourth of
July we hear nothing but the suffering Of
the private soldier. They had hard times.
but ne considered the generals were en-
titled to a great deal OF sympathy and con-
doIence. At the beginning OF the war the
soldiers suffered a great deal more than
they should have done. 1t was due to the
fact that the generals were handicapped by
not being allowed to do any thing unless in
structed.
Referring to the battles of Bull Run, he
said the first battle was a blessing in dis
guise; the second was blessing left in
front At the first fight the generals knew
mere than the priVateS; a. the second fight
the soldiers knew more than the generals.
The generals were the only ones whipped
in that fight The soldiers proved that
