An episode in the history Of one Of
ohio's largest and best regiments occur
red to-day. We have been slandered by
a traitor in camp, and in camp have we
given him wellmerited rebnke. 1t is
crushing, blasting, damning. but very
just. Captain Peter A. Tyler, OF Com
pany D, Of this command, last month
wrote long letter to the Wyandot Dem.
ocratic Union, newspaper published al
Wyandot, Ohio, in which he represents
us as being "demoraized, discontented
insubordinate, dsheartened"-proposes
not only an armisic, but also to kick
New England out Of the Union--denoun
ces President Lincoln--abuses loyal off
cers--and finally concludes by saying
emphaticslly that every man who is not
now in favor Of peace is disunionlst al
heart! As soon as it WAS known that he
had written such a letter. the officers at
once assembled and adopted the subjoin.
ed preamble and resolutions, which were
unanimously ratified by every enlisted
man in this regiment on dress parade this
evening. Major Frank Evans, before
taking the vote Of the soldiers, made a
telling speech Of fifteen minutes, which
was eloquent, pointed, scathing, and un,
answerable. 1t was indeed II happy ef-
fort After the soldiers had voted to a
man, for the resolutions and against the
infamous letter, three rousing cheers
were given for "the Constitution, the
Union, and the Flag" and then three
hideous "groans for all traitors"
When it is known that large major
ity of the men composing this regiment
are Douglas Democrats, its noble action
to- day becomes doubly significant and
glorious. The peace party at home are
literally despissd and frankly d'sownea by
the army. ,
The wretch who would betray us and
the country is now confined in a "Lin.

will very probably remain until dismissed

Union, dated February 10, 1868, news

A. Tyler dated at corinlh, Miss, Feb. 6,
1868, setting forth his opinion OF the feel
inp and sentiments Of the army, and
WAEnEAs, said P. A. Tyler in that let
ter published us as being "demcralized,
disconnected, insubordinate," and being
dragged down to the meshes of disunion,
therefore.
/. Resolved. That the article written
by p. A. Tyler is not only gross and
malicious Misrepresentation of facts, but
is utterly false, sedtious, and full of trea'
son, and is base and willful slander upon
the loyal soldiers of The l8st Ohio Vol
unteers.

ing with the sentiments written by I. a
Tyler, we hold them as the rankest trea-
son, and as such detest and abhor them.

letter, has violated his oa'h.-shamefu]ly
disgraced his position in our regiment

lie to our actions, and played the part Of
a calumniator and slanderer.
4. Resolved, That, the commanding
officers be requested to Immediately place
said p. A. in close confinement, and he
be removed from our regiment, as we nc
longer wish to associate with him as al

given too much of its blood for the "Flae
Of cur Union"-has too great reverence
for the memory Of its gallant Aarmstrong
who gave his young life on its first bat

Nc Call, and the rest who have fallen il
battle or by sickness-and has endured
already too much of the hardships of wa
