Mr. HOLDEN A few days since, Col Mallett
sent an order to send into camp all the conscrpts
engaged on the N. G. Railroad in getting wood and
ties. Capt A Coble came into my neighborhood
and took John Troxler, who had a contract to get
wood and ties, from his old mother-kept him from
Sunday evening till Monday-then sent him by
home on his way to Raleigh, suffering him to stop
there not more than two hours, thus giving him no

Mallett on the subject, and he told me it was not

We agree with our correspondent A militia Of.

who is unnecessarily harsh and cruel, ought to be
deprived of his commission and put in the army.

N. Q. SICK AND WOUNDED IN RIcHMoNp.-The

wounded In Richmond by the presence there of Sur
geon-General Warren ard his associates and in this
connection very justly complains of the indispos-
ton on the part of the authorities to grant transfers
and furloughs to private soldiers That says:
" Every town and village is filed with wounded
ohcers many of them having but slight bruises and

In the fetid atmosphere of the Richmond hospitals
where many Of them must inevitably die for the
want of pure air and wholesome food and is denied
a furlough OF transfer by the supercious preteni
tous and heartess heads of the bureaus in the va
rious departments that make up the circumlccuton
Office at Richmond, whose mysterious labyrinths
no sensible man ever wishes to tread second time"
Wounded officers are permitted to leave, but Gen.
Wnder fears to trust the wounded soldiers in North
Carolina. He thinks they will desert We are not
surprised at this opinion of the eminent Plug, for
ne has frequently spoken his mind very freely about
our people.
A letter before US from wounded soldier, dated
Winder Hospital, Richmond, says: 81 went before
the Board yesterday for furlough, but they would
not give me one-said 1 would soon be we'll I
can't see the use of this Board If you go before

RICHMOND, VA, May 18th, 1858.
Mr. EDITOR AS there are great many Of us
here that are wounded and will not be fit for ser
vice IN some time, we would like to. have some one
to fill our places. We want some good men, We
would like to have some of those about Raleigh who
at the commencement of the war, said they could
whiptwenty. fEebefore breakfast. Now, Mr. Holden,
our cause is suffering for the want of men. We
need just such men, and if they had come out at the
beginning, this war would have been. brought to
close long ago. But these are the very men that
have managed to get into little shade Offices, and
there they in!ead staying, while. we poor soldiers
marching night and day through rain and snow
and mud knee Deep and sleeping without any cover
save the blue sky above. Now, Sir should like
very much, for some of them to come and shoulder
their muskets, strap on their knapsaeks and march
with me thirty miles a day. and then lay all night
in line of battle and never sleep wink. Doht you
think their patriotism would be worn to o frazzle
am confident it would be if they had to live on
crackers for two weeks like we had to do.
Mr.. Editor, would like for you to answer one
question for me il you can why Is it our wounded
are not allowed to 60 homer Why is it they cant
get furloughs OF transfers 2 They are sending men
from this hospital back to their regiments with their
fingers shot off These men belong to North Caro-
lima regiments too i understand the ladies' of North
Carolina have sent great many things here for the
wouHdedsoldiers. Why don't they get them Is
| IL because they think them too good for u.s. or do
those, who are in authority wish to keep them to
speculate onP It must be one OF the two g..
L will tell you what We North Carolina soldiers
get to eat in the hospital We get some slops to
drink in the place of coffee, without sugar at that
and we get bakers bread The bread will do tole-
rably well, but now comes the worst the meat is
such as you would be ashamed to give to dog, and
the rice is boiled in fresh water and given to US TO
eat without particle of salt aud for molasses
and fruit we never get near enoughto them to even
smell them, Now, Sir, is not this poor consolation
for soldiers who have left their ownState to come to
Virginia to fight? The Virginians have something
to fght for think, for when they are wounded and
are sent to the hospital they have every thing that
heart could wish, and the ladies pay: them every
attention. But we poor North -Cafoliniaus may 60
to the devil so far as they concerned.
Well, must close now as it makes me sick to
think how our poor wounded soldiers are treated.
