The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1861-06-26
FROM Camp DcnniSOW,

all quiet and peaceable, great noise came from
the eastern side of the camp, and great bury
ing to and fro was seen in the 10th regiment.
1t was soon ascertained that some Of the 18th
regiment tad been over in the 10th, and in some
way, not known, had raised frscas, in which
one OF the guards was shot In few mint es
the whole camp was alive. Tie 10th threat
ened to come over and whip the 18th regiment.
As soon as the Tumor reached the headquarters
of the 80 Brigade, the 18th, 5rd and 18th regi.
ments were ordered to form line Of battle in
front OF their respective quarters. In ten min
utes time they were all out, and marched up
toward the 10th md formed line along the
railroad All were greatly excited; even some
of the officers were so excited that they could
not repeat the orders of General Sleigh's Ad-
iutant, Smith, who was in command. In the
drawn up on the opposite side of the railroad
to put down the riot. 1t was at first supposed
to be the 10th, and all both officers and priyates
expected in less than five minutes time to be
engaged in deadly conflict On ascertainIng
who they were. and what their business was,
there was a sense of relief came over all IN the
Sd Brigade and all were thankful that they
should not be compelled to shed the blood OF
brothers who were there in the same cause In
which they had enlisted. The western side
were ordered to their quarters, and by the aid
OF their own officers the 10Th was pursuaded to
20 back to their quarters and then fight was
put down, which might have ended the lives OF
many who had enlisted IN an entirely differ
ent cause from that
A shert time afterward, when it was ascer-
tanned that the rebellion was settled, the 18th
and 3rd regiment serrendard the 18th in reg
ular military style. In the morning, all the
regiment went to drilling as if nothing had
gone wrong and by noon it was nearly forgotten
and would soon have died away entirely had
not a reporter for one Of the Cincinnati papers
stated that the Guthrie Gray's were brought
out to quell the rebe lion, and as the 18th would
not 90 to their quar- ters was driven hy force
But this is untrue. The 18th was just as ODE.
dient and obeyed their officers as promptly as
and other regiment in the Camp.
And there are many other reports, some
throwing the blame on the 18th and others the
10th regimentand one Of the reporters lays the
whole fuss to an affray that took place between
three or four drunken soldiers belonging to the
10th, and two belonging to company b. Of the
18th. But it appears from further discovers
that liquor was the sole cause OF the ARRAY
Where it was obtained is not yet ascertsned.
Mastering into the United States service Is
going on but as yet none Of the 18th regiment
have been mustered in as the regiment is not
filled 10 the requisite number, one company
having disbanded and another will probably
follow the example as the Captain has re
signed his commission and the company has
not obtained the number to entite it to place
in the regiment. 1t is supposed that comra
MES will be detailed from Camp Jackson to fill
up the regiment, and it is thought that it will
be filled to-day, and the regiment mustered IN
to service.
1t is reported that the Bird regiment viii
leave Camp on Saturday for Western Virginia
, 1t is stated by reliable authority that the
one OF the three months volunteers belonging
to The 1Oth( Montgomery)regiment was drumm
, ed out Yesterday, but for what cause did moi
ascertain. rras
! The three wear excitemet has at last died
way, all the three month men having been sen
from this and most of the other regiments no
t body IS lift to raise any excitement on that &C
count. That was, to my mind, the best thinl
; that could have been done under the circum
stances as they (the three month volunteers
raised disturbance wherever any little breez
! blew toward them that did not exactly sui
! their fancy. and this caused many that wer
, going for three years TO become more dissatis
fed every day, and some few backed off entirel
declaring that if there was no regulation ant
discipline in the American army they woult
! nots,ay. But this IS all settled at last and al
! seem pleased with the result.
1t has been reported for some time past tina
We would receive two months wages to-day
but as yet no preparations have been made t
/ lpay us. Some Of the privates say, that as vi
have been fooled so often in SO many differen
WAYS, they did not expect aoy pay, but it wa
lust to get all the three month volunteers pos
sible to go for three years.
1t is supposed that w. s. Smith, Brigade
} General Sclegh's Adjutant, will be elected
Colonel Of the 18th Regiment in place Of A
Saunders Piatt, the present Colonel. But tn !
! is not yet certain as Colonel Piatt has grea
manv friends in the regiment who are laborins
very hard to have him re elected. 1t is though
hat Lieutenant Colonel Mason and Major Haw
kins will be elected to their present positions
} but these things are hard to BE positive sbou
Us some other person's namesraay be proposed
and may defeat one or the other Of them. = /
