MUTINY AMONG TIE VOLUNTEERS. -Grca
insuburdination has lately existed among two
or three regiments at Washington and severa
others have been almost demoralized. Tc
prevent this growing evil required prompt
and vigorous action. and such has been at
once taken by the Commander-in-chief, Gen.
Mcclellan. Hardly he'd the Fire Zouaves
deserted their standard and dishanded over
the country before fierce riot broke out in
the 10th regiment. A superior force, with
a battery of artillery, were at once marched
against the rioters, their arms were taken
from them, and the ringleaders arrested The
following order was previously read:
THE General Commanding has heard with
the deepest pain, of the acts of insubordna-
ton on the part of the 10th regiment. With
out attempting to enter into any discussion
of the causes. it is sufficient to say that they
are frivolous and groundless
That these acts have thrown disgrace
upon the regiment and the service, and,
taking place at this time, they give rise to
the strongest suspicious of the most affect
eownrdiee The regiment have forced upon
the Commanding General an issue which he
is prepared to meet The men ARE ordered (, O
lay down their arms aud return to duty An
those refusing to do So will be fired uron
Immediately. If they comply with this or
der. the ringleaders only will be punished.
THE colorB of the regiment are taken
from them. and will b. returned only when
fhrr conduct in camp shall have proved that
they understand the first duty of a soldier
obedience and when, on the field of battle
they shall have proved their bravery. The
names Of the leaders in this revolt will he

placed in the archives of the State A gen.

and a general fight ensucd in which the Sc
