A VOICE FROM THE "0LD FOUR
gEENTH.
Its opinion of cur Legislature. :
iHrAnor,nrrRs. Eth Ind. Vols.

IHEApoUARTERs, 18th Ind. Vols
Falmouth, Va, Jan. 22nd, 1862, } /
Mr. EDIToR-The l4th Regiment has
been Justly proud of the name and the
fame she has gained for herself as well
as the State from which hails-but she
feels that she is dishonored now-not
by any act Of her own, but by the acts OF
the State Legislature. A reasonable
Legislature in such State is certainly
to be regretted, and it is regretted deep
ly bv all her brave sons who are now bat
Ting for the country. 1t pains every
soldiers heart to hear of the dishonora-
Bile proceedings of body which, of all
others, should be loyal, firm aud stead
fast to our common cause, and aid US IN
maintaining our name and our fame.
Shame to Indiana, to be represented
them parley-if they bring dishonor on
the State, the soldiers will wipe out the
stain-and will wipe them out too some
day. 1t is astonishing to see such pro-
ceedings, and | really hope Governor
Morton will thwart them in their nefari-
GUS designs; if he requires aid let him
send for the old l4th regiment, and
peace and Jaw will reign wherever her
banner waves.
The words which those hot-headed
"butternuts use ought to blister their
traitorous tongues, and condemn them in
the eyes of the people, asst does in the
eyes of the ssolders-condemn them TO
that sulphurous gulf of fire, where all
traitors must sooner or later 60. The
l4th regiment shudders at such proceed
ings, but we have an abiding faith in
the steadfastness and loyalty of the peo-
pie, and if our faith is misplaced we feel
that the soldiers will!bring about harmony
and peace again, and forever preserves
her fair renown.
Is it better, would ask, to be slqres
rather than free those who are? That
is the question-that the way the sol
diers look at the proclamation, and they
are willing to maintain it-maintain IT
4 with their lives. 1t is on our shoulder:
where. rests the responsibility, not on thi
shoulders of those at home who should
q be our friends, and strive to aid us il
our cause by eCery means.
Gen. French, commanding division
presented, through Gen. Mason, tn,
color guard /" of the Old Fourteenth
to-day with fine breech-loading piece
as token of the high appreciation h
entertained for the valer, bravery, an
the honor with the brigade, but the Ger
raj has manifested, by this present,
where his confidence lies We will Ell
deavor ever to merit such confidence.
Yours, &c, Hey.
