PAYMENT OF THE VOLUNTEERS.
There has been good deal of complaint
about the delay in paying off our volunteers
in Western Virginia. In explanation, in
part at least of this delay, the following ex-
tract from letter of Paymaster General
Larned to Governor Dennison has been pub
lished:
"In reply to your telegram of the 7th inst.
1 have to inform you that Paymasters in
Western Virginia are paying all the regi-
ments in that department as rapidly as they
receive the muster rolls, in regard to which
there is gross ignorance or criminal negli.
gence on the part of officers"
"INvIsIBLE" AND THE INDIANA REGIMENTS.
The Courier, at Lafayette, Indiana, contains
the following about an "Invisible" corre-
spondent in Western Virginia:
"The Cincinnati Times has a correspond.
ent with General Reynolds's brigade on
Cheat Mountains gentleman of question
able habits and doubtful loyslty-who, fall
ing to pension himself on Colonel Dumont,
of the Seventh Indiana, gratifies his spleen
by libelous intimation that this gallant
regiment showed the white feather in the
late reconnaissance on:Greenbrier. We are
authorized by Colonel Sullivan, of the Thir.
teenth Indiana, who, with his regiment, par
ticipated in that engagement, to say that the
imputation is groundless, and that no regi-
ment on the field that day behaved with
more heroism than that Of Colonel Dumont."
In referring to the neglect manifested by
Invisible" in not noticing the exploits oi
the Thirteenth Regiment the editors say:
We are not surprised to learn that this
| singular omission is wholly attributable to
the fact that Colonel Sullivan had inadver
| tently failed to supply our correspondent
| with the peculiar ratiOns from which he de
rives his inspiration. This treatment o.
Colonel Sullivan's Regiment is beneath con.
tempt"
