CAMP CAMERON, Washington, June Z, 1861
Whether there is anything in it or not it has passed
into proyerb that "happy is the bride that the sun
shines on" Why shouldn't the expression be applied
to the regiment that unes itself in these holy nuptas
with Government TO share its fortunes through the
war On Saturday, the 9th was mustered into service
under sky as blue and in sunshine bright as ever
saw in Florence Naples We had had general
order TO prepare for the muster yesterday but owing
to mistake in getting out the roll Of the regiment, 1t
was necessarily postponed until to-day. We lost moth
ing by it, for the weather was much more propiiious
We were first reviewed by Capt Whipple U. s. A.,
after which the regiment formed into square, and
the oath of fealty was administered by Col. Thomas,
each man holding up his right hand ard repeating the
words. When the call was made for those who had
not taken the oath TO step to the 'front.' 70 our horror we
saw less than $50 men came forward, despite the
tempest of groaus and Kisses that burst from our regl-
ment. Nothing could have proved more conclusively
the state Of dsoganiZaton into which noble regi
ment had been thrown by the miserable temporlnng
policy that had long blocked departure for the
seat Of war. You may suppose that those who had
come here to for the war and risk everything
in support Of Government. and not merely for pleas
ure trip of few weeks at the expense Of Uncle Sam,
were indignant TO find that quite one-slxth OF the
whole command were holiday soldiers. l am happy 10
state that receiving certain explanations on points
in which they were in doubt 81 Of the malcontents
turned to the ranks. OF the GO who brsved the auns
of their loyal comrades many were foreigners. The
deserons from the various companies respective
ly thus: Company A, Capt. John Deppler, the old
u Swiss Guard - of New-York, seven men. At the
request of their remaining comrades l send their
names: Otto Engle, DIR. Joseph Goebel, Ii. Muller,
Carl NaumaD, A. Lesse John Wagler, and Her
mann Reuchel; Company C, Capt Prescott,
four men; Company ID, fourteen men; Com
pany L, Capt. II. G. Smith, lightweight
men ont Of the llS in the company. II seems that
they understood that their favorite captain was not
going farther into the enemys country, and when the
Misrepresentation was corrected, so returned 10 the
ranks. In Company f, Capt Rutherford, four men,
all of whom, at she request OF one Of their officers,
am pleased to state had good and sufficient for
their course. They ell received honorable dis
charge from their captain, but 1t n not at all probable
that it will be confirmed by the Colonel In Company
g. Capt. Atterbury, six men left without giving their
reasons. Company IL, Capt. futile, lott fourteen
men, and the detection is the more Notifying TO the
captain since he left hourisbing business, the dis
tinct understanding that his pledged their honor
| to follow him throughout the war.
There is for complaint at either the treat
ment we have received at the bands Of officers
| the rations served cut to us. Now that we have
passed through the erpermentum crucs we feel much
better, and I may safely gay that we united 10
man in the determination TO uphold our glorious flag
through all Universities and tribulation.
