Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1841-1853, 1847-10-14


Courier of the 18th ult., publishes what purporis to
be extract Of letter from the mouth of the Rio
Grande as follows:
"There Is at present considerable excitement in
camp concerning the muster roll. 1t is required that
when the soldier receives his pay he afxes his maine
10 muster roll, which declares that he volunteered
for during the war; without reference to one or any
other number of years. The regiment declares and
swears it entered The service no such condition,
and therefore will not subscribe to it. On the other
hand the pay department declares that unless ihey
subscribe their names to such a roll they Shall
draw no pay. The answer of the volunteer IS, TO
To HI with your pay.
There are about one hundred and fifty in
this regiment unit for duty ~
The audacy of the above extract is only equaed
by the attacks OF the Kentucky papers, the India
ma troops, on former occasions. There is not be-
lieve, one word of truth in the whole charge. The
lndanlans are not the men to act thus and when the
truth shall be found out it will turn out to be another

Weare glad TO lind one wbig paper in this State
which condemns the foregoing SANDER on our volun-
teefs When 1t first made its appearance 10 that to-
ry sheet, the Louisville Courier the competitor of the
Journal of that city in mendacity, the only hopes
of sustenance, 1t was promptly contradcted and we
supposed set at rest, least this State by the de-
mocrallc paper at Lawrenceburgh. None of the wing
papers offered word in contradiction of the SANDER,
till we met the above in the Repository. The Iadi-
ana journal was studously silent; but as no oppor-
unity TO give the volunteers sly stab is omitted by
that print, we find in Mondays paper the following
relative TO the volunteers at Madison:

With the exception of the infamous reports of the
cowardce of the Indiana volunteers at Bucna Vista
we have nothing, from any source whatever, as
slanderous the above. We doubt even if taken
in It's fall hearing, it does not exceed them all.
The "sober second thought is operating .'disas-
trously, says the Journal Does it mean that the re-
cruts did not know what they were about when they
enlisted Have they become "Sorry" under this
'sober second thought" that they ''leaving foI
