Virginia UniOnists in Exile.

Colonel Forney writes from Washing
ton to the Philadelphia Press:
One of the most deplorable issues of the
late defeat of our army is the expulsion of
citizens from Fairfax county. Expulsion
is too mild term to employ in explanation
of their condition. They are obliged to fly
from their families, or be impressed into the
army and carried down South. Two of
these men were in my Office to day. They
gave me statement of their condition A
notice was served on them, at their own
houses, to appear on specified day at the
Quarters of General Beauregard, bringing
with them the best arms they had. They
are Northern men, as very large pro-
portion OF the farmers of Fairfax county
are; they could not dare to appear before
Beauregard, and be, compelled to take up
arms against the Union. Their only alter
native was to escape with their families.
This they have done, flying, in many cases,
at midnight, and by a clrcuitous journey,
through forests, to reach Washington. l
am requested by those of them with whom
l have conversed to suppress their names,
as any proof that they had been giving in.

that the evil disposed protested friends OF the

out attempting to magnify it, will be obliged
to stop their nefarious business of villitying
the State, the Government, and the men

There were cases where men were unable
to appear upon drill or dress parade for the
want of proper clothing. In some instances
undoubtedly it was unavoidable, but in

carelessness and neglect, it was the result of
wlllful and malicious conduct on the part of

LETTER FROM 1T. COLONEL MILLER.

LETTER FROM LIT. COLONEL MILLER,
WASHINGTON, July 30, 1861.
DEAR SIR-Your favor is at hand in re-.
gard to the clothing of the Regiment.
There have been in the Regiment cases OF
individual hardship; but I think that of the
following facts there is no doubt, viz:
F,rSt-That the best temporary and
practical uniform that could be obtained
promptly, in our poor and sparsely settled
State, was provided for the Regiment at
the time of its organization.
Second-That about the middle of last
May, Col. German made the proper reaui-
sition for the full United States uniform, for
all our men, and be and our Quartermaster
and Messengers to New York and Phila-
delphia have been urging and laboring for
its delivery ever since.
MISUNDERSTANDING these exerticns
the clothing was only procured last week.
1t was Immediately delivered, and nearly
all our men are now in possession of excel
liant suits. The few exceptions will be pro.
vided for in few days. Yours, &C.,
STEPHEN MILLER.

REPORT

ADJUTANT GENERAL SANBORN,
TO THE
Clothing, Equipments and Condition
OF THE
FIRST NNESOTA REGIMEN
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1861-08-16

Before giving this Report it is necessary
to proper history of the transaction, that
the following instructions from Governor
Ramsey to General Sanborn, Adjutant
General of the State of Minnesota should
be promised:
STATE OF MINNESOTA,
EXECUTIvE OFFICE, July rs, lS6l.(
Col. JOHN b. SANBORN, Adjutant General of
Minnesota:
SIR-Ye sterday committee of gentlemen of
Minneapolis called upon me and represented
that two letters from prvates in the First Re-
giment OF Minnesota Volunteers, now in Vir-
gina, had been received at that place, COM
planning of the insufficient clothing of the men
OF the regiment. This is the first intimation
have received from either officers or men of
the regiment, from its first organization to this
time, OF an deficiency in this regard. Among
new troops, unframed to the careful preserva.
ton Of the property, clothing and equipments,
amid the necessarily rough life of the camp
and field, there will doubtless often be instan-
ces of suffering or Inconvenience, even though
the authorities have done all in their power to
have it otherwise. Yet it becomes US, in
guarding the interest and comfort of the men
who have so generously volunteered their lives
in defence of their country, to relive their ne
cessities, no matter how OccasiOned.
Therefore for the purpose of certain informa
ton on this subject, and to insure all the relief
within our capacity, and to enlist also the in
terest of the General Government in those gal
liant men, desire you to proceed at once to
the seat of war; and on consultation with Col.
German and his officers, and examination of
the men, if there is found to be restitution of
any kind. you will make such representations
in person to the War Department as shall rem.
edy all reasonable complaint and Deficiencies.
And if these representations shall not secUe
prompt attention, you will at once communi-
cate to me by telegraph the fact, when will
Immediately take measures to use whatever
of credit the State of Minnesota may possess
to put the regiment in the most comfortable
and efficient condition.
Very respectfully,
ALEXANDER RAMSEY.
The same day these instructions we re-.
ceved, (July 26tb) the Adjutant General
left for Washington, and having there per.
Termed the duty with which he was charged,
returned to ST. Paul early on the morning
of Monday, August 9Th, having been alb.
sent about eleven days. On the 9th of Au-
gust, inst, TUESDAY lasD he may the fol-
lowing Report to the Governor, which we
have obtained the privilege of publishing
at length, with the accompanying docu.
ments.

that the regimental officers and the officers
of the Government, have acted with all f.
deity and promptness 10 regard to fur.
nishing the regiment with clothing and
rations.
1t is true that for some days, perhaps
weeks prior to the furnishing of the clothing
at Washington some of the men had not
suitable clothing for dress parade or any
public exhibition. But while was there
large number of the men had on the pants
that were furnished here, which were still
in good condition. That you may better
determine the number of the men IN that
situation and the extent of their restitution,
and the causes which induced it, and its ef-
feet upon the health and comfort of the
men, refer to the copies of the letters OF
the Chaplain, Rev. E. D. Neill, Quarter
master Wood, of the Minneapolis Guards,
and Col. Germans, directed to yourself, and
one from Lieut.. Colonel Miller, which are
enclosed herewith and made part of my
report.
The Regimental Color, National ensign
which was borne through the battle OF the
2lst ult with most extraordinary valor and
devotion, became so defaced by powder and
rent and torn by shot and shell that it is not
suitable for use and it was surrendered to
me by the Colonel, to be brought back to
the State to be deposited in suitable place
in the Capitol as memorial of the patriot.
ism and valor of the sons of Minnesota at
this period Of her history. forwarded the
same by express to the Governor, aud was
requested by the Colonel, to signify his desire
to be furnished by the State with another
similar banner at an early day.
All of which is respectfully submitted by your
obedient servant JOHN B SANBORN,
Adjutant General.

There never has been so much quiet and order

ergy on the part OF the young Commanderin-

what all men have to say-ready to receive
statesmen, editors, and politicians, he is careful
to avoid committing himself to a revelation Of
single one Of his plans. You will observe that
nothing has been printed, either as to his pur-
poses or his opinions. His headquarters, at the
residence Of Commodore w ilks, corner Of Six

and, though always busy, he is always ready to

they were assembled on the common, where
