To Editors Messoari Democrat:
knowing that YeHH columns are open
TO the complaints of the wronged, have
concluded to tell you some of the wrongs
Of the Uuited States soldier. After suf
fering the cold for several weeks last fall,
having nothing to wear but the linnen
pants and flannel shirts furnished US BY
the State, we got our uniform at JctTer-
son City. 1t consisted of a dark blue
jacket and pants, blue cloth cap of the
fimsiest description, and the usual ugly,
unhandy, and hateful blue oyercoat of tie
L. S. service. These overcoats, By the
way, appeared to have been gathered up
all over the country, wherever they could
be found lying around loose. They v4
of all weights, colors and qualities, come
of them passable, but others light and
fimsey as they could be made Most of
them have neither warmth nor service
Our under-co,hes were rood-the only
decent article OF clothing We have vet re-
ceived. In less than four weeks after we
commenced wearing our clothes many OF
the pants were positively worn out The
jackets were soon in the same condition,
and in six weeks the regiment did not
look decent for the want of clothing
Well. we consoied ourselves with the
thought that we would not have TO pay
much for that which had been of SO little
service. But the time for settling up has
come, and we find that we are charged
for jackets that lasted two months s. "a;
for pants that lasted one month 50 90
for great coat that will not last till spring
in many cases, 81 Is; for caps 63 cents.
These caps are neither useful nor efna-
mental; one must always stand in the po-
sition of a soldier to keep them from fall
ing off. They were nice blue at first,
but they soon faded to light persimmon
color, that made the wearer look as if he
had been fished up ont of salt water and
dried. But the greatest swincle of all
was the shoes furnished US. They We're a
sewed shoe, and very nice and easy on tie
foot. But one weeks marching often
parted the sole from the upper, leaving us
no other resource but TO seek the Quar-
termaster and draw another pair For
these shoes we are charged 81 81 cents,
and many of us have worn, or burst out
three pair of them in three months. The
whole thing may be stated thus: ne have
been in the service over FIVE months; we
have good part of that time been with
out decent suit; we are now ragged, in
fact almost naked; many of us have::spent
from $40 to SIS for clothing Independent
of the Quartermaster, and yet we are in
dehted to the Government from 81 to $40
over the allowance for clothing. These,
sir, together with the facts, that enlisted
men are not allowed to touch drop Of
liquor, are liable to be, and often are, Sc
verely punished for profanity, and inva-
riably placed in confinement on bread and
water if found guilty of playing cards,
either for money or amusement, while
drinking, swearing and gambling are con-
slant practices among the officers, are
what we of the ranks consider grave
wrongs. and you will do US a favor by
making them public.

More Pasen, Forty Shooters

A rife, capable of firing forty shots in
as many seconds, has lately been invent
ed BY the Rev J. ID. Moore, minis
ter Of the Gospel in Birmingham, Iowa.
MIR. Moore is very fond of hunting, and
is an excellent marksman, and contrived
the rifle for his own use in hunting sports.
We examined it yesterday, ard must pro-
nounce 1t the best and most effective fire.
arm We have ever seen. Soon after its
completion, the inventor applied for a
patent and had no trouble in obtaining
one Immediately. The rifle is intended
for hunting game of all kinds, from a
squirrel to deer, and the specimen,
which was the first one made, will kill
with accuracy at three hundred yards
Its calibre is ninety five balls to pourd,
and it has the Maynard primer attached
The powder and ball are put into two
tubes, which extend from the chamber
about one foot up the barrel, parallel with
each other, and both can be filled with
ammunition in few seconds. These
serve the purpose Of cartridge box, and
the rife is charged from them by partial
revolution of the stock, which is quickly
reversed, and the gun is ready for firing.
The ball is rammed into the chamber with
a sliding hammer, by the movement of re-
turning the stock to its place, The con-
trivance Is BY no means complicated, and
its perfect simplicity is guarantee against
its getting out Of order The manner oil
handling it may also be learned thorough
This rifle may very readily be adapted
for army purposes, made Of any caliber
required, and would not prove more ex-
pensive than many of the FIRE arms now
in use. A capacity of twenty charges
would be entirely sufficient for an army
gun, and in the hands of regiment in
action, would render it equal to at least
i've regiments armed with the common
nusket or rife.
Mr.. G. M. Huston of Keokuk, Iowa,
is now in this city, at No. So North Fifth
street, and is about making arrangements
for the manufacture Of this effective weap
on on an extensive scale.-St. Louis Re

NasHibStOu, Oaus u
Judge Kearne, one of the council for
Col. kerrigan, emphaticaily contradicts
the report that evidence has been elected
establishing without doubt the charge Of
his having given information to the enc
my. The evidence for the prosecution
has not yet been closed.
An error occurred in yesterdays dis
patch relative to the proposed military
expedition from, Fl. Leavenworth, making
it appear that Gen Lane is to hold sub
ordinate position therein. The reverse is
the case. The expedition, second to
none, if equaled by any, in numbers,
in character and purpose, lis to be under
the sole and exclusive command Of Gen.
Lane. who proposes to demonstrate with
his western crusaders the ways and means
by which the rebellion can be crushed and
the republic restored in all its integrity
To carry out this purpose Gen. Lane is
supported BY the active energies of the
Administration in the various Depart
ments.
A dispatch from Hancock this evesine
says that nobody was killed on our side
in the shelling of that town by the rebels.
