THE 9TH REGIMENT. The Burlingto
Times. after further investigation into tn
matter of the charges made in its columns som
: time since, against some of the officers OF tt
Ninth Regiment, of having sold articles
their equipments to the rebels after the su
render of Harper's Ferry, has become satisht
that the charges cannot be sustained, and a
cordingly entirely retracts them II is
and Just" the Times says, "that we sta
some facts which we more recently have lear
q ed. After the surrender, the regimental OF
4 GERS of the 9th grouped about Col. Stannar
d were indignant at the betrayal which they III
# Intellectually protested against. Rebels th'
approached them and tainted them, and pr
posed to purchase their equipments. This W
continued till COL Stannard, stung by the
insults, boldly retorted upon them by thres
euing to shoot the first man that renewed I
insulting proposals. They ceased makil
I, them. Ee
While we express our sorrow that we we
ot BETRAYED incautiously into making the stat
ment, unjusty inculpating some of the office
of the 9th, we utterly disclaim ary intention
ot maliciously injure them which has been impu
ed to us. Too much has been said in the
le praise in our columns to justify such an imp
tation on u.s."
