VICTIM OF PARTISAN JOURNAL
ISM.

A review Of the statements OF the local
National Guard officers, Of the other
companies officers and Of the colonel
OF the regiment convlnees one that the
First regiment, YIN. e., has been the
victim Of sensational journalism, and that
OF the most biased sort. The reports con-
corning the characterization Of the reg
iment, their refusal to participate in the
general review on the last day, emanated
from region which Is filed largely with
hot air or which is vacuum complete so
far as sensible thinking Is concerned
Then, too, these reports Of the alleged mis-
conduct Of the Vermont boys found their
way into the public print through special
correspondents sent out BY the large met
ropolitan journals to give reports largely
favorable to the troops Of the particular
states which these journals represented.
For instance the Boston papers commend
al the Massachusetts, military as much as
possible; the New York papers heaped
words Of praise on the Workers and the
Pennsylvania contemporaries did the
same for their state troop. Likewise alt
the GuAsds which were fortunate enough
to have partisan press representative
with them appear In the best possible
light to their friends al home. The Yer,
mont troops had no partisan supporters
with them. Consequently the scant meas
ure Of praise they got for their really ex-
celIent work, and the words OF open critl-
clsn heaped upon them had 10 come from
these journals which were seeking to
make their own soldiers appear wells with
ont having the time to commend any
others. In few instances, notably the
Washington papers, unbiased criticism
OF the entire Brown and Blue armies was
made III nearly all the Others there were
more or less colored reports sent ont from
the southern battle, field. The report par
ticnlarIy despicable is the one referred to
already, the story that the Vermont regi-
ment was guilty Of unsoldiefly conduct In
refusing to take part in the general pa
Tade on the last day. The statement Of
Col. Gray Estey, commanding the Tegi
ment, Il the only one necessary to refute
the absurd allegation. The statement II
printed In another column today We
consider the position taken BY Col. Estey
to have been entirely justified BY the cir
cumstances. and that there was no cause
for the malicious and misleading report
which has been circulated,
