THE TROUBLES OF THE SECOND REGIMENT.
We have received o large batch OF Communications
from officers and privates Of the Second regiment In
ference to their troubles which seem TO be more
picated than ever judging by the tenor Of these docu
ments The statements in each are at some little
rance in reference TO the number Of who have
turned but almost entirely unanimous in condemning
the quality Of the ratons furnished the regiment the
treatment they received at Warrington
Private James Moran, late Of Company X,
writes us that the reason the men did not enlist
for three years waS the prospect Of poor treatment
exhibited in the miserable quality Of the rations given
them at Washington. he says that they whling
90 for SIX months but the government would not accept
regiment many Of whom joined the other regiments in
the vicinity OF Washington and that 450 Of them
New York. The latter express their intention OF joining
other regiments.
Another communication signed by thirteen names,
and 1900 others necessary, desires to lay before
ing washington It states that the 1''' regiment n
was forwarded to Washington without orders
and was not recognized by the authorities there then
goes on to enumerate all the grievances about sleeping
arrangements food, &c, and says that "the men
willing TO for three months three years.
long the regiment might be In active service but they
did not believe in being quartered in fort the
Mississippi in Florida other fever and ague
spot so they wished TO retain the power in their own
hands Of returning homo rs the fighting ceased"
1t also states that the number Of left Ia the
was only 257 and that they went away from New York
goo strong-making the number returned about 100.
Ex Quarermnster Sergeant Charles P Morehouse also
writes to inform OF the "true facts Of the casc BE
says while the were quarered in Washington "thcy
had pretty good accommodations regards food but
place to sleep except the bare floor in rooms where
min were thick on the ground" Then, again. he "does
not believe that ths mep had full army ration ut
meal all the time tbeYFs in camp and half Of the time
they had nothing % esW He states that 146 men came
home under his chacge and that 241 to follow
Friday last.
We have also been shown extract foma letter writ
ten by Cornelius OBren, who still continues attached
the regiment, to his father in this city He does
deny that large number have returned but states that
the ratons and treatment have been OF the most
factory kind
