health Of the regiment is as good as could be
expected, where so many are crowded in to
gefher. Since laying here we have sent to
the hospital nineteen men, from the following

Col. Charles w. Roberts.

Editors Of the Press GENTLEMEN:-I
noticed in your issue of Saturday an item
which does great injustice TO this gallant Off
Ger, and which cannot allow 70 pass the
rounds Of the press without correction. Ihave
no authority for commenting upon il except
that which an intimate acquaintance from boy
hood, and thorough knowledge of his private
life and character, may certainly give to one
who has enjoyed these privileges.
Col Roberts, at the tilne Of the breaking out
Of the rebellion, resided at Bangor in the
midst Of a circle endeared to him by all the
ties Of nature and friendship, free from the
necessity OF seeking the army as a means of
livelihood, an only son, and engaged in lucra-
tive business. He was associated in the State
Militia, as 1t then existed, as an officer with
the lamenfed JAMESON, and the gallant VAR
NEY, his successor in the Office of Colonel of
ID Maine regiment
From motives Of pure patriotism, devoted
attachment to the principles of the government
and the preservation of the country, these
three brave men, ia command of the regiment
with which they had been long connected,
staked their lives and their honor upon the
hazard OF the battle. Right well have they on
many helds wiihstood the hosts Of the enemy
and defended their country from the assaults
Of its would be destroyers. Gen. Jameson.
borne down by disease contracted in the ser
vice, has passed through the strsieht and mar
raw path TO that home where the slurs of the
enyi0us and the inveetives of the malignant
can never more disturb bis repose. Col. Rob
erts. entering the service for three months, has
continued to lead his regiment for nearly two
years. The anxiety and entreaties of fond
mother have now been allowed that influence
which q true and noble son could no longer
Withstand; LIE has resigned his commission to
one whom he knew could and would faithfully
discharge the duties Of the office. and has re.
tired to private life honered and beloved BY
all who know him. Col. Varney will yet let
his deeds speak for him.
Let no man attribute TO Col. Charles W
Roberts of the I'd Maine, "the sin and folly o
youthful ambition" as the cause of his resg
nation. His soul scars above such motives
and the fallen men of the heroic I'd Maine
who have in times gone by followed where ht
led, would rise from their bloody graves to re
flute the foul imputation. H.
