An episode in the history Of one Of
Ohio's largest and bes, regiments oc-
cured to day. We haye been sIapdered
BY a traitor IN camp, and in Camp have
we given him well'mcrited rebuke, 1t
is crushing, blasting, damniug, bn, very
just. Captain Pctcr A. Tyler of Com
pany ID, Of this command, last month
wrote long letter 70 the ewysndot Dem
ocrat Union, newspaper published at
Wyandot, Ohio, in which he represent.
ed us as being "dcmoralized, diseonten-
ted, insubordintae, disheSrtencd'--propos-
es not only an armisticc, but also to l-ek
New England out of the Union--je-
nounccs President Lineoln---abuses loyal
ofiicers---and finally concludes by say.
ing cmphatically that cvery man who is
not in favor Of peace is disuniouist at
heart! As soon as il was knpwn that
he had written such letter the officers
ut once assembled aud adopted tho sub
joined preamble and resolutions, which
were unanimously ratified by every en-
listed man in this regiment on dress pa
radc this evening. Major Frank Eycns,
before taking the vote Of the soldiers,
made a telling speech ofiltcrn minutes,
which was eloquent, pointed, scathing,
and unanswerablc. II was indeed a hap.
py effort. After the soldiers had voted, TO
a mau, for the resolutions aud against
the infamous letter, three rousing cheers
were given for "the Constitution, the
Union, aud the Flag" and then three
hideous 'groancs for oil traitors"
When II is known that large majori-
,y of the men composing this regiment
are Douglas Democrats, lis noble action
t,.dly becomes doubly significant and
glorious. The peace party at homo are
LITERALLY despised and frankly disornsd
by the army.
The wretch who would bctray Us and
the country is now confined in a" Lin
coln bastilc" at the garrison, where he
will vsry probably remain until dismissed
from the service, How ssil and just
his punishment! But here are the
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS. We have this day been
shown copy of the Wyandot ID smocratic
l n = -.
paper published in Wyandot County,
Ohio containing n letter written by +.
A. Tyler, dated at Corin,h, Miss, Feb
ruary 6, 1863, setting forth his opinion OF
the feeling and sentiments of the army;
and.
WHEREAS, Said p. A. Tyler, in that
letter published us us being "demoral-
lied, discontcnted, insubordinatc," and
being dragged downio 10 the meshcs of dis
union therefore,
.. Resolved, That the article written
by p. A. Tyler, is not only II gross and
malicious misrepresentation OF facts, but
is utterly false, scditious, and full of trea-
son and is Il base and willlul slander up
| on ,ha ,iayai a,l.iiers of tho S1st. Ohio
Volunteers.
2. Resolved, That, so far from agree
ing with the sentiments written by =. A &.
Tyler, we hold them as the rankest treas
or, aud as such detest and nbhor them.
8. Resolpcd, That p. A. Tyler, in this
letter, has violated his oath-shamerully
disgraced his position in our regiment-
uttered disunion entimsnts--gven lie to
our actions, and playing the part of u
columniutor and slanderer.
4. Resolved, That the commanding
officers be requested to Immediately place
said p. A. Tyler in close confinement,
and he be removed from our regiment, as
! we no longer wish to associate with him
as an officer.
8. Resolved, That our regiment has
given too much OF its blood for the old
"hag of our Union'-has too great rev.
crence for the memory of its gallant
Armstrong who gave his life on its frs,
battle lield--of its lamented Post, the
brave Mccall, and the rest who have
fallen in battle or by sickness-and has
endured already too much of the hard
ships Of war to yield nop to the sickIy cry
for peace on any other terms than those
which we understood at thebeginning, as
tho only condition COR rebels--submisson
to the laws of the land.
G. RESOLVED, That the preamble aud
resolutions be published in tho Wyundot
Democratic Union, and all other papers
friendly to our regiment.
Major Frank Evans and Captain w.
II. ChImberlin w. III. Bill, james Glib
soh and o. w. Overmeyer, were the
committee on resolutions.
We ,odnt euery man ioomam and child
in Ohio, TO knop hat our regiment Is op-
posed bitterly and foreper, TO treason in
It's midst, in its front and in its rear!
