In th course of a delightful arti

a.ier ?vii Kingsbury, of the Wil
ini ngt oii NeH'Senger uses this language
"It is fashion now a growing one
ve l'egret to believe for the younger
portion of our peopio to turn up their
noses in -contempt at the men ol war,
and to grow' restive under, their re
newed favors and recorded hoi.ors.

-the good fortune or are not respon

coifntry: Our distinguished Senator
Vance is a victim now of "severe crit-
icism, that ofien is remarkably un
just, but the assault does not- come
from the veterans of 1 861-65, but
from men who have growu up since,
and fail to appreciate the great ser
vices and sacrifices and personal- mer
it of the leaders and soldiers . in the;
great War of Second In depend eneej":
With ail due respect for the opih
i.on of th? venerable and distinguish
editor, we as "one - of the" younger
portion of our people beg leave tow
dissent, And we shall speak .for
thousands of younger irien ih the
