 On the 10th of May we left the Assembly looms Barracks, and went to tie Red iou>e at Harlem, Before leayipy the As embiv l}norS howevar orr ra, Tod be- come uncomfortably dirty, having no accom- n"da Ions ioi @"ohn g onnet ,,,,.,t s,,ns pr their clothes. In this coplitinn the ransier was made. At the Red Hopse fteen of our company Were co,nnsIlad to 'ieep o"t ot doors the first night for want of room inside and beds. We remained there ap till the time of our transfer 10 Camp Scott, Staten Island. In the day time the men were occasionally driven ont to the open lots. where they were compelled to re- main, whether they were drilling or not rain or shine. More than once. when tbev had used their blankets for protection from the clements, they had to cover themselves r;tb the same blankets when they lay down at night.
 By such means their clothing rotted on their backs, while the promise of equipments was put off from day to day. N
 On Tuesday, May 2S, we were removed to Staten Island Having arrived theye wa were providelIwith five tents for one hun. dred and one men, this arrangement com pelled forty of our number to sleep in the open air for the first night Col. William son continued to promise equipments. and they continued not to come, until the clo,sssa ing of our men was actually rotted o.g.SSsm. and they were compel,cI to esA4'lankets to hide their nakedness. Tls> first eouip. ments given consisted of ,s'.snty suits, and they were so large t11tsSost of the men who needed them coul1 not wear them.
 Capt A. I,~Andrews, of another compa. ny, makesthis statement:
 1 Ihcsonged to company which was rais- e.'ih Delaware county. We came down to join the Sickles' Brigade last Thursday. We numbered seventy men. We are me chanies, lumbermen, and farmers. The first night. about II o'clock, We were served with blankets. On Sunday morning we were served with meat in state of decom- position. On Monday Major Farnham came to our camp, took one of our men bv the collar and struck him five times with his fist, and swore that he would bang him and gag him, and drum him off the Island, and mako an example of him. Farnham was l ,,c nlDtj 4Io A. no time since we went into camp have we had fall allowance of rations.
 And two commissioned officers" state their complaints in the following lan- guage:
 Sergeant Murdoch and Corporal O'Brien, married men, and both members of the Fillmore Guards, from Buffalo, complain that they had been promised five cents mile for whatever distance they went with the company, and that they have been dis appointed, in consequence of which their families are now in want. The Buffalo Union Defense Committee refuse to furnish means for their families because they vol unteered here. Having procured a dis charge, they will make the best of their way home They say there are daily mutinies. assertions, etc., at Camp Scott. On Thurs day night complete company got of, and eighty or ninety men with loaded muskcts and fixed bayonets recaptured them. Whole companies do, however, frequently get away. Colonel Williamson several times struck man in the face with a whip, and in consequence his company went away, and have commenced a suit against Will Hanson. The objection against the brigade is that the chief officers are not commissioned, are ignorant of their duties, and brutal in their treatment of the men; that the food s.not sufficient in quantity for nutriment, and that the men don't see any prospect of getting into service.
 We take all the above accounts of bad treatment of LINCOLN 's soldiers from ss2-- gle number of a New York Black Repub- iican paper-the 1r;une of June 23d.
