Col. Marshall Lefferts, presiding. Townsend is the “Author of ‘The Encyclopedia of the Great Rebellion.’ . . . Soldiers and their friends will be especially interested.  A sketch of the war for the year 1861 will be given, in which prominent mention will be made of New-York regiments, and the names of nearly 100 citizen soldiers of the State, who have honorably distinguished themselves, will be alluded to.”
