RENARKs.-Tbe above communication
was not accompanied by the proper name
Of the writer /: but in this instance We
waive our established rule. because the
article which he refers to has been evi.
IDENTIFY misconstrued BY the soldiers.
The writer is mistaken. in the very be.
ginning. We read the petition iu the
Governors office. and It certsinly did say
that many of the Kansas 18th were old
men. boys, cripples. and persons blind
of one eye. 1t istrue. as be states, and as
We stated. that they have been deceived
BY Gen. Lane. which everybody knows
to be a fact.
But the srandest mistake of the writer,
is in supposiug we intended to intimate
that the 18th is composed of towards
True. We suppose the regiment, like all
others. has its timid men bot the con.
duct of this regiment at the battles Of
Cane Hill and Prairie Grove. would give
the lie to the charge Of cowardice. by
whomsoever made. What We did say.
was that when men enlist, they must ex'
psct to go where ordered. This thing Of
promising to retain them within certain
district. has had its day. and there is nc
longer occasion for people to be deceived
When soldiers enlist they are sworn into
the service of the United States. and on
subject to be ordered wherever they arr
needed. We are as well acquainted will
the circumstances of macy of the mem
bers of the 18th. as they are themselves
We know they had better be at home.
and we thought so at the time they en-
listed but we were not the one to say
anything to discourage enlistments. Be.
sides, we remember we'll that persons who
did tell them they were being deceived,
were roughly handled for it. And w
also remember that squads Of men. be-
longing to that regiment. went about tbt
country forcing men into the service.
As We suspected. the latter part Of the
above communication gives the true cause
of discomfort. The soldiers are willing
to be absent from home. and to suffer al
manner of hsrdships for their country,
bat they cannot bear the tyranny Of off,
cars who were not Of their choosing. bu'
we're appointed over them in considsra.
tion of political services resdersd certsiu
individuals. That tells the whole story
and on this account particularly We have
sympathy for the members Of the Kansas
18th. Il 10 Is easy to treat soldiers lik'
men - it il to tresE them worss thar
dogs. By the former sourss officers gain
tbs love of men. who will follov then
70 the death. By the latter courss they
become hated BY them. and in battle an
. likely to b sbot By their own men q
By the enemy. No true soldier would d.
such thing. bot msa. retain tbsir. pas
siops in the army y veil - ont Of It.
