HARRIsoN's LANDING, JAMES RIVER, !
Erilnu lnlm Ohih 1910

HARRIsoN's LANDING, JAMES RIVER,
Friday, July 25th, 1862.
Mr. EDITOR
Dear Sir The officers of the
Second Regiment Delaware Volunteers
were panied and surprised upon reading
an article in the Blue Hens Chicken of
the 18th inst. The editor in this article
charges the officers Of our Regiment with
gross neglect of duty and cowardice in
the late seven days fight before Rich
mond, he asserts that there were but
three commissioned officers with the Re
giment, and that the Regiment was fought
I by non-commissioned officers | take
this opportunity to denonnce every as
sertion made in said article to be n
lalsehood. At no time during that
protraeted struggle had the Regiment
less than ti0enty-One commissioned present,
and the average number present during
the seven days was tOeniy-seUen. The
editor of the Chicken not content with
having thus slandered good and true men
who had nobly discharged their duty
0hough many of them were so i'll that it
seemed miracle that they kept up with
the Regiment during that fatiguing re-
trcat,) he follows up his shameful attack
by another article in his issue of the 23d
inst, in which he says that Capt. Striker
and his whole company fled. There is
not shadow of truth in this assertion
Capt Striker was ever with the Regiment,
and deserves much credit for the mastery
manner in which he handled it the day he
was in command The editor of the
al rNe ,la.
again reiterate our statement that we had
good authority, that we got our informa-
tiOn from men of character and standing,
who from their position should know"
Now in justice to injured men, demand
the names of his informants, let us be
placed face to face with our accusers, and
if we are found guilty, show us up to the
scon of all good men but if the lie be
proved upon the black-hearted calumni-
ators, give us an opportunity to admins
ter the chastisement they so richly deserve.
Were these men of standing of whom he
speaks present on the field Ifnot, they
must have obtained their information
second, perhaps third or fourth handed,
but we here believe the SANDER was cdsA-
cocted not far from the EDITORS sanctum.
Had the editor OF the Chicken been
guided by justice would he not have taken
the pains to wait until he had heard both
sides before he issued an article so unjust,
and calculated to injure men who feel
conscious Of having discharged their
whole duty.
You have doubtless heard that a num-
ber of Our officers have rendered their re-
signations. This is true. Can they be
censured ? They say they will not serve
under the banners of State whose press
are so eager to SANDER them. All intel
ligent people will see how very discour-
agingit is, after having manfully sustained
the hardships and fatigue of seven days
battle and seven nights retreat, to be
thus slandered and villifed by some
miserable" who sits in ease and safety
far from the scenes of action. /,

The Next Governor

Mr., EDITOR
A number of eminent citizens
have been mentioned in connection with
the gubernatorial nomination. Whilst |
have not word to say in disparagement
of either of the persons already named,
permit me through your columns to sug--
gest II candidate for whom every loyal
citizen could vote most cheerfully. One
well known throughout the State as Il
patriotic lover of his country; one who,
if elected, would never appoint to Office
any man about whose loyalty there was
the least suspicion one who has con
tributed largely of his means to the aid
aud comfort of our volunteers and their
families one who is in every respect
qualified for the duties of the office and
who would discharge them not only with
credit to himself but to the honor and dig
nifty of the State. l allude to John Il.

No RENT FOR THE USE OF REBEL PROPERTY.
We understand that notice has been served
upon the owners OF the warehouses now occu-
pied for Government purpose, that no more rent
will be paid for the use of the buildings, which,
being rebel property, egitiinately comes under
the action Of the recent order Of the President.
IMPORTANT COMMITMENT.
Mr.. G. W. Neville, who has claimed to act as
agent for r. j. \ W. Neeley, lumber dealers, in
Portsmouth waa, yesterday afternoon, arrested
aud committed to Jail under the following circum.
stances When the Federal troops arrived in
Norfolk, the Messrs. Neeley left in the rebel
hurry, and Mr.. Neville assumed charge of their
property. He has made sales Of lumber to the
amount Of some three thousand dollars, which
he deposited to the account Of his principals in
The Bank Of Virginia, Captain Clarke, provost
marshal collected the facts in the case and an
order was Issued from headquarters TINT Mr.
Neville should transfer the amount mentioned 10
the United States Government. This he refused
TO do, and was committed to jail The refusnl of
Mr.. NeVil to transfer the money avails nothing
as the Government will employ means to tYke Il
from the bank, coniiscating it as rebel property.

The Second Delaware Regiment

Mr.. EDIToR;
Numerous reports have been
circulated in regard to the lack of bravery
displayed in the Second Delaware Regi-
ment at the fight before Richmond and
in fact have reached the ears of one of
our editors and been commented upon by
him.
Now, to say the least, is highly unjust
for any one of our friends in Delaware
without any certain knowledge of the
facts of the case, to come out in this pub
lie manner, and not only injure the Regi-
ment by disheartcning the men and de
priying them of the honor to which they
are entitled, but also to have their friends
at home sorrowing for their alleged COW
ardice and msbehavior. = =.
oucn men should be taken in hand ant
handed over to a committee Of some kind
to examine ON what grounds such state
mcnts were made, and if none were found
(in this case we think none justly coult
be,) should be cared for by being checked
forward to Richmond, there TO consul
with the brave fellows of the Seconl
Delaware, and we will assure you tina
their decision and their acts shall be ours
Perhaps u statement which | received
from an officer of the Regiment will b
sufficient to show that the complaint
were unfounded, unjust, aud by no mean
agreeable to the feelings of the men il
the Regiment. The officer says: 9TH
Colonel and Major of the Regiment wer
both sick and unable to be on the field
The Lieutenant Colonel was there AN
acted brayely. As for the other officer!
with the exception of one or two VIII
were sick, they all did nobly, as well Il
the men, and the Regiment was highl
complimented for its daring courage, b
superior officers"
We hope that word will suffice an
that no more foul reports shall iniure, {
aim to injure, the brave sons Of DeawaI
r in the field. UNION.

overtasked Regiment.
In conclusion permit me to say that the
authors of the SANDER contained in the
Blue Hens Chicken, are guilty of having
originated most iniquitous and unblush.

sible for every word contained in this

CAPTAIN RfoIi1RD SR1NDLEY

The Christian Chronicle of Philadel-
phia, under the caption of A Noble
Record relates the following incident,
which serves to show the christian vr-
tues of this truly estimablc young man,
who fell in one of the recent engage
ments before Richmond
Delaware lost one of her noblest sons
in the late Capt. Richard Brindley, who
was killed in one Of the recent engage
ments before Richmond, while bravely
leading ON his company to the terrible
battle charge. He entered the regular
army in the Spring of 1861, as Second
Lieutenant, and was in the battle of Bull
Run. His GOODNESS and bravery attract
ed the notice of his superior officers, and
he soon received u Captains commission
as the merited reward of his soldierly
bearing and courage
As he went upon the field the morn
ing of his death, and when the carnage
of the fight was all around them, an Oil
Ger in much excitement was guilty of
great profanity. Young Brindley look
ed at him for moment and kindly said,
Surely in snch an hour as this profanity
is an aggravated SIM But scarcely had
the well-merited reproof escaped his lips
and while the command of coward
men" was being executed, ball pierced
his brain, and the noble, gallant, Chris.
tian captain died in an instant and with.
out struggle We doubt not that Il
/ ltsa - n
that last rebuke will never he forgotten
Richard Brindley was an honored ant
useful member OF the Episcopal church

Oh, had he ever kept that game
Bright course in which his race begun,
There now might wreath around his name
A nations praise, hcro's fame
Had he but died when first he fought

How oheaply by such death were bought
The loyul soldiers Alumhers bland
Aud lasting praisea Of his land
But he who lived 10 prove his fame
The burden Of an idle song,
To sell renown for hlackest shame
And honors highest VOWS to wrong
All, he had surely lived too long
But il nee suilrr, let il he
For Truth and Freedoms righteous cause,
And then succeeding times shall see
Oar denth or conquest with applause,

Nor be by falsehood's anares beguiled;
But prove your wisdom is not small

CONDITION or MARYLAND.-Ths condition Of
affairs in Baltimore and MARYLAND excites the
attention Of the government just now. The trail
tors increase in Baltimore and in the slaveholdng
counties of the State. There is no doubt that
the legislation of Congress has made the slave
holding citizens of that State more bitterly dis
loyal than ever before. For the most part they
were dslOyal when the rebellion broke out-their
sympathies were with the rebels in Virginia and
the cotton States-but they kept quite. There is
crument must nip the evil in the bud 1t is quite
probable that severe measures will soon be resor-
ted to. Families speaking openly their sympa.
thles with the rebellion IN an offensive manner
may be compelled to pass down within the enc
my's lines and give room for loyal people. In
any event Maryland will be compelled to he loyal
even though she be depopuated.--h. y. Ege-
