First we deem it our duty to correct wrong
information which has gone home by some

that the soldiers are halfted and half provided
for otherwise. Ii is true in concentrating so
many men, IN so short space Of time. into
one place, neither the government nor officers
could be expected to have everything as they
wish, or everything the army regulations re
quire. We have had plenty Of provisions
served out TO US from the conmiSSary, ever
since we were mustered into the service, al
though at first it was not regular because it
could not be procured fast enough fer the
number Of men coming into camp. Tbs
regulations have now become systemized, and
all fare well. We have plenty of bread, pork.

who have been through the Mexican cam
paign say we are much better provided for
than the soldiers in Mexico Whoever circu-
lated the above informatian, spoke ignorant

approach of eight small boats for the shore,
shile two others were beating about and all
loaded to their utmost capacity with soldiers,
sailors and marines. Six Of them landed within

lived TO see what was intended, the landing
being effected.
We went upon the island, but being pursued
