DELAWARE RRoIMRSr.-CJNPLAISr oy OFF
cERs.-Ws have received letters from officers
Of ths Third Delaware Regiment, complaining
OF Col. Reddsn's selling the appointment OF
adjutant 10 a Mr.. SpurRe, of Philadelphia
10 use the words OF one Of the letters, which
says:
1.-THE line officers were much surprised 10
! find that Col. R-iden had sold the position Of
adjutant to Philalelphia man, who had not
iurnished.a man or any moley to Ill ny the
regiment. II il customary for Adjutanls to
be taken from the Subaltrsns. Now, ths way
they have taken to iorce this uan Spurge on
our regiment, throwing Delaware men out, is
outrageous. We were led to believe by Col
Redd.n that Lieut.. Aldred would be continued
for three months.
Col. Reddsn'told several Of the officers that
he would continue Aldred as an adjutant,

We do not know SIR. spurge, neither have
we hal the pleasure OF an acquaintance with
Col. Redeem, aud therefore cannot say any
thing in relation to the particular qualities
OF the former, or thu motives for the latter in
his appointment. But We do say, II there
are men in Delaware, or among the officers
sualiiisd fur tbs appointment, they should
receive it in preference to men from other
! States. 1t is Delaware Regiment. The
time and money of Delaware officers and
