RICHMOND CITY, July So 1861.
My Dear Parents: Here | am, a prisoner
in the city of Richmond. Myself aud two
others were taken in the battle of Monday
They were James Gregory and George Dillev,
both of Mineral Point. Perhaps You know
them. The fight of Sunday was desperate
one. Some of our regiments we've badly cut
up. !, with some others, got separated from
our regiment during the fight, and l can not
say how our company came out. There are
between 700 and 800 Of US here. We are
quartered in several large tobacco warehouses
very good quarters. We have all been
treated like gentlemen We have good food,
and plenty of 1t. All the officers are perfect
gentlemen, far as | have seen | think it
probable that we may be exchanged before a
great while; if not, there IS no use Of COM
plaInlng,-we shall have TO stump it through
Do not think that we have fallen into the
hands of set of barbarans we are well
treated and we'll taken care Of
W. P. SMITH.
Do not attempt to answer this in the pres
ent state Of affairs. There is no show of its

Gov. Randall gives the most fiattering ac-
count of The bravery and general good con-
duct of the men of the second Wisconsin
Regiment in the late battle and since They
occupy proud position IN the estimation of
military men in ard about Washington. Gen.
Sherman, under whose command they fought
at the battle Of Bulls Run, speaks of them IN
The most complimentary manner. A few days
ago, Gen. Sherman was DESTROYS of having
Two hundred picked men, for he performance
of some special service with him, and afie
looking through his Brigade, he took be en-
tire number from The Wisconsi Second This
Is ething more substantial than a mere
compliment of words. 1t IS practical Has
lratlon Of confidence, of an unmislak able
character. This Regiment stands among be
first of all the troops about Washington. 1t
must be gratifying to every citizen Of WIS

hoSe charges

| Esq, DEAR SIR; Your letter of
the facts 10 relation to stories supporting to
have come from members of the company TO
the effect that our officers pay no regard 10
! he 'dlet or comforts of the men," and other
wise charging them as being "tyranuicai and
overbearing." For all such charges, | am
happy to inform you, there IS aot tie least
shac0u Of truth. In Capt. Allen and Lieut.
LaFleiche, the Miners Guards have found
kind and consIderate men, ever willing ard
ready TO do all IL their power for their COM
! fort. and the shameful misrepresentation sent
to our homes are, to say the least, disgraceful
to the author Your letter is not the first
| that has come here warning us of treacbery in
camp. We regret to acknow ledge the truth,
but It seems too apparent. That there are
one or two who seem to have spite against
Alien and LaFleiche. we are confident, and
can lay II to no other cause than dtsappoint
'nen. Their aspl atoms led them to consider
themselves superlors, aud better adapted 20
manage the affairs of this company than the Sc
II not reaching the goal of their an billion,
have suddenly turned upon the officers and
beched forth avolley Of ISLANDERS unparalleled
and beyond forgiveness, without the least
provocation.
We have enemies enough here to contend
with, without being obliged to defend the
character of our officers at home, where we
expect nothing but encouragement | would
think that these same men have sense enough
to know that they are causing many a family
TO mourn. and many a father, mother. sister,
or brother, to lament and weep over the rug
ged life of the dear one. Ii is true that the
soldier experiences hardshlps, in every imag-
ineable shape but for all this. 1t is not his
place to msrepresenf and Islander the charac-
ter Of good and true men. The authors Of these
charges have to my own knowledge received
at the hands of Capt. Allen an equal share OF
the tavors bestowed. and care has ALWAYS
been taken TO have all served alIke. l i'm
aglue the whole grist of the stories has gone
forth during a heat of excitement. and VIXEN
in no better mood than 10 belch forth, as it
seems mucA injurcG ones have done The
company has been well provided for, and at
times when the rations were short Capt.
Allen has used every eXertion to have plenty
even purchasing things and paying the
money out Of his own pocket, If the com
pany is not we'll fed it is no fault of the COM
missloned officers they are not the Quarter
masters nor general periutendens Thei r
power is only in the limits of their company,
and they can not be expected 10 do every
thing, nor hold al the Offices in gift of the
government. Nor do | presume hat the
government IS at fault; but, If any body, it is
with few contractors who are too lazy to
attend to their du,y and see that all is right
and that all the men are served. Again, |
say there IS no truth Whatever in any of the
SORES winch have gone to Your place. In a
tit of passion these yarns have been written
you, without the least provocatIon
