tIens: Our attention has been called to an artl- cie III your paper, headed Dreadful Accident on " hite riyer-37 of Lemoyne's regiment drowned ' However much we may dislike to appear in the public prints, we feel it due to TRUTH well as just to parties concerned to notice its fragrant msrepresentations
 The steamer Cambridge was hailed and rounded too, on Saturday night. Col Lemoyne with a part Of his Q7th) regiment went on board Suaday morning. We heard of no proposition to tie up.- The Captain, we understood, was confined to his room by sickness. The boat struck and sunk about P. m (after dirll.) We heard nothing of the ac cidents being attributed to high minds, although we remained near the rcck until Tuesday morning. There was a rise of wind some time after the boat sunk, from which those on board the reck suffered much during the six or eight hours they waited for relief. We lost sixteen men and tW 0 servants be- longing to the regiment, viz: Wm. If. Spivev, quaftermaster; Lt WE. Montgomery, Capt King $ company; privates--George Schmidt, John w.. Lackey, James C. Turner and Samuel Glenn all of Capt. Kings company; privates-B. C. Ciaunch Jack Baker and Andrew Petty of Capt Dowdle's company; private 4. " McBfide, of Capt. Bones company; private D. Walker of Capt. HarrelPs company; private NJ. c. Barnet of Capt. Ferries company; priyates, Leonard Jones, George Hunt, Robert Bland and D. r. Burnett of Capt Mills Co. Col. Lemoyne and Dr. Williams. each lost sery ant. The above facts can be fully established by every member of the regiment on board.

 rT~W We heartily commend the following order and trust to see it reiterated by all other comman der, IL has the ring of the genuine metal:
 GENERAL ORDER NO.9.
 HEADQUARTERS 2ND GRAND DIVISION
 Army 0fMe Mississippi.
 BETHEL Tenn, March I6 ls62S With degree of modification and humiliation he has never before felt, the major general com manding has to denounce acts Of plage plundcr and destruction of private property of our citizens by
  disgrace upon our cause. Men capable of such acts may swell our numbers, but wi never add strength to our armies, They would do Us less harm by serving in the ranks of the enemy, and if pre- pared to abandon the vicious habits they have un- fortunately contracted, had better lay down their arms and retire. Gallant men, not thus demOral- ized, stand ready to Use them, and will do 50 with that firm reliance on an OyerulnE Providence, which d consciousness ofrght can alone give. ThB first step toward achieving is to deserve it. Commanders Of all grades will be held respon- sible for the suppression of this great crime. Full compensation, will in all instances, be made from the pay Of the offenders, and where this fails in its object, summary punishment will be inflicted. The general will uot hesitate to order the death penal ty, wheret may be necessary, and will approve its e1 1ecution by subordnate5 where mlder measures fail.
 By command of Major General Bragg.
