Handsome Testimonial The last soldier attached to the Corn Ex change Regiments having been mustereJ Out of service, the Military Committee of that Association held their final meeting at 12 o'clock to-day, and concluded their la bors by presenting to. Samuel L. Ward. Esq., their Treasurer; a handsome gold watch, valued at $5OO. Seth J. Comly,Esq., the Chairman of the Committee, mad few eloquent remarks, 'in which he refefted to what had been accomplished by the Go vernment during the past four years . ; and what the members or the Corn Exchang e Association had contributed towards the suppression of the rebellion. He was followed by A. G. Cattell, Esq., who said: The Regimental Committee of the Corn Exchange Association are now assembled probably for the last time, and the object of this meeting is to present to you a testimo nial of their high approbation of the faith ful manner in which you have performed the arduous duties of Treasurer for the Com mittee. This committee was the offspring of the loyal heart of the Corn Exchange Associa tion of Philadelphia. When the treason of the South culminated in open rebellion,and the starry flag that waved over Sumter was trailed in the dust, you will remember hoc% , upon its first announcement, we laid aside our samples, ceased buying and selling,and gathering around the roEtrum, resolved, with one voice, to throw the banner of our country to the breeze in front of the hall, and pledged ourselves to keep. it floating there until the brave hearts and stout arms of our "boys in blue" should plant it again on the blackened walls of Fort Sumter. And we have been faithful to nor nlarluA. Nor did the patriotism of this body expend itself in words. Men were needed tut we defence of our country, to maintain the honor of our flag and to prevent the dis memberment of our glorious Union. This Association promptly determined to embody their patriotism in a practical shape, by raising under its auspices and placing in the field, at least one Regiment of Infantry. It was for this purpose this committee was raised, and to the successful accomplishment of which, all have labored so assiduously and contributed so freely of their means. I shall not, on this occasion, occupy the time by any detailed statement of the work we have done. Suffice it to say, this com mittee, acting for and in behalf of the Asso ciation, put into the field ten regiments and a half, and raised among themselves a fund of one hundred thousand dollars, which has been expended in raising these regiments, providing for the comfort of the soldier, and supplying the wants of the needy families of these "who left their homes to defend ours." The duties of this committee ceased only with the close of the war, and the glorious triumph of our cause. You, sir, have for more than four years acted as our Treasurer, and the custody and disbursement of this large sum of money has been intrusted to your care. Not only so, but you have acted extensively as the almoner of our bounty to the families of the men in our regiment,personally seeking out and relieving the needy and suffering. You have visited the front on more than one occasion, paid over the bounties provided for the men, and from the day.our first regi ment left, until they returned and were mustered out of the service, you have been the medium through which our brave boys have from time to time conveyed their pay to their loved ones at home. I am sure I speak within bounds when I say that in your official capacity you have received and paid out more than a quarter of a million of dollars, and this, too,without a single error, or the discrepancy of a sin gle dollar; and that in all these four years you have given cheerfully more of your time than you have devoted to your own business. We are here to-day to bear testimony to your faithfulness in this labor of love, and to thank you, not only for ourselves, but in behalf of the brave boys and their families whom you have so diligently served. And now, sir, permit me, in the name of this committee, to present to you this .bean tiful American watch, provided by the members of the committee, at their own cost, as a testimonial of their sense of your valuable services to them and to the country. They have inscribed upon it these words: "Presented by the Corn Exchange Regi mental Committee to Samuel L. Ward, their late treasurer, as a testimonial of their high appreciation of his earnest loyalty and his self-sacrificing labors in behalf of the sol diers of the Corn Exchange Regiments and their families." And it only remains for me to add that these are the heartfelt sentiments of every member of the committee, and that their best wishes for your health and happiness will go with you through all the years of your life. Mr. S. L. Ward made a short but very apppopriate address,.and -the committee dispersed.• Da=l OP.&L DENTALLIZIA.
