THAT SPRING" SroRY-The last Chroni-
Gle alludes TO a story about Col. Paine's pre-
venting his men from drinking at a spring
when they halted. The true version Of that
story, as communicated to us by an eye wit
ness, is this On the march from Monterey
to Camargo, about the 18th of last May, Com
panies and H halted at the spring in ques-
ton, and Capt. williamson, of Company F,
approached the spring for the purpose of get
ting some water. when Col. Paine ordered him,
in the rudest manner, NOT to touch il, as he,
Col. Paine, had placed a sentry over it. No
rush was made by the men, as stated by the
Chronicle; but it is fact that Col. Paine
would not let the men have drop of the wa
ter for better than two hours after their arri-
val, although almost fanting from thirst. The
men were compelled TO drink bad water tc
Stake their burning thirst, although there was
an abundance of water for all in the spring
1t is true, Col. Paine, after long while, and
after himself and some officers of the regular
army, who were marching with him, had usec
as much as they wanted, took the sentry of
The circumstance created good deal of ex
citement in the Regiment at the time, and Col
Paine subsequently became somewhat ASHAMED
of his conduct.
