Burnside's Corps-1he Trouble in th
4th Rhode IsInnd.
From Our Own Correspondent.
CAMP NgiI FRgDrHICKsBURG Va,
August IL, letl
Almost all We know Of the fight between Bank
and Ewell has coms TO MS in the Baltimore papers
We have heard heavy firing in the direction o
Gorlonsville, and King whole division was hurried
off on Sunday to Culpepper Cont House. lii
column Wis 10 have left On Monday, and the prepar
atious for departure day sooner lad TO be made in
great haste.
Tie famous Harris Light Cavalry was detached
from Kings command aud given TO Burnside, but al
the last moIncut the order countermauded, and
the regiment marched with the rest to Culpepper.
Both the req imept aud our regretted the dccis-
ion, Tor they were aLAlOus 20 light under BURNSIDE,
aud we were rejoiced T.. think that 20 dazzling and
gallant corps shonld be going with us.
For scver.l days va have bern ready 70 start AZ
an hours pOtice the supCriiuous baggage has been
packed ard sent of, prOyisious in advance have
been dealt out, aud all the ammunition necessary for
q hard hight has been loaded in wagons. We have
not started yet, and may not move for few days.
Meanwhile re-.nforcements arrive, and the process
o. Strengthening and equalization goes on.
nnft speak oDee more, aud liually, OF the 4th
Rhode Island. The resignation Of the fifteen line
officers handed in, 3nd returned 10 hem by
Gen. Burnsde ith tie suggestion that they should
bow like good soldiers 10 iIe appointment 81 Gov.
Spr,ue, whose rlgtt to select their ne Colonel
was undeniable, however unacceptable the new In
cumbeDt might be.
The General has always held Lieut.. Col. Tew
in tie highest esteem as brave, houezt piOus
man, and thorough soldier; and many Of the line
officers were held with TIE highest respect. But
although the snperses-ion Of Mr. lew. under the
circumstances, was unjust as unwi--, the General
could never be a party 10 such insnD0rnlnate con-
duct that OF the ma!e0ntenG officers aid Tor the
good Of the service when the designations were
pressed ara;n, Oh the occasion Of Gov. Sprague =
recent visit, he could do 10 hing but advise tncr
acceptance. Accordingly the officers concerned
were notified night before las that they were
honorably ci,charged from the service, and yeser-
day afternoon they left Tor nome. 1ney were &C.
compalci 10 the depot by TIE cheers VI their men,
VINO groaued repeatedly Ior Gov. Sprsgue aud Col.
Steerc.
In some regiments there would have been a real
mutiny, but our Rhode Islanders bred 10 such
habits OF order ard discipline that the seriOs Crisis
parsed without open outbreak. The vacancies have
already been filled from The rank and file, and there
IL prosJ ect that in little while Thugs will go
"a before. he new Lieut. manufactured was
nominated by Gen. Burnside himself, bnr the other
appointments were EFT TO Gov. Spragues own
choice. Col. Curtis lis brother oil George William
