the treatment Of the Vermont troops at New
York, or Jersey City Our readers will re-
collect the description given by our CORES
pondent Of the disgusting food furnished TO
the 18Th regiment. A correspondent Of the
Manchester journal gives an account, equally
bad, Of the treatment Of the l4th regiment.

some mess

given way to an outraged sense Of justice =

charges against the regiment Vermonters
will get into passion sometimes, like other
people but we do not believe that rogi-
men, Of them would, under any circumstances,
make a riot or commit the crime of arson.
