THE VICkSBuRG ARMY.

The report current that the troops COM
posing this army had scattered and de
serted calls for a statement Of the true
facts, in order that the public may be I'm
deceived, and that justice may be done
TO the soldiers This story about deser-
tons, in It's true Specification, is either
entirely false or else greatly exaggerated.
The Atlanta (Ga) Appeai gives the fol-
lowing explanation;
There were many Mississippians in that
army whose homes were not far from VIck5-
burg, and who took the opportunity OF going
home as soon as they got outside the Fede-
raj lines. Many OF them being sick and foot
sore from recent exposure, requiring rest ana
recreation, and passing near by Their homes,
refused to 90 to the camp at Enterprise until
they had first visited their friends. inere IS
no doubt that by this time most OF these
have recuperated sufficiently to return TO the
camp and nearly all of them will do SO with
out any further inducements than their sense
Of dnty. With the Louisiana regiments the
case was similar. Many of these were so anX-
ious 10 geI home that they resorrcd 10 al
most every means TO accomplish their Object,
some Of them secured the assistance oil lne
Felerals 10 take them over the river III VsiW Il
and skitis-all with the intention ol making
u
as soon as their exchange Was elected. Iherc
being hut one route by which General rem
berton could take his troops out OF the Fed
eral lines, he desired TO keep them together
as much as possible.
! When the army reached Pearl river, al BY
! rams station, on the Jackson and New Or
/ leans Railroad, about 20 miles below Jack
! son and completely out of the enemys lines,
( ii was thought unnecessary for the troops 10
/ march directly away from their homes, and
/ Gen, pemberton issued an order for all those
! living in the Trans Mississippi department
comprising Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, and
! Louis iana-to fall back to Pearl river TO re
/ ceive their furloughs, that they might go to
/ their homes This order was nrst made al
| RAYMOND; but that being still within the
| lines, and only one route OF exit being open
| il was necessary TO go to Pearl river before IL
! could he carried out. This explains why
some of the Louisiana regiments have sucn
I small number Of men in camp at Enterprise
i II was the same with those from Texas, Ar
kansas. and Missouri, as well as Mississippi
! and other States east OF the river. 1t would
have been cruel TO march these men over q
hundred miles from their homes, White the,
were in a condition that would n0i admit 0l
| the fatiyue incident thereto. This is the true
| EXPLANATION of the matter, the many reports
/ To the contrary notwithstanding, and the
| stories about desertions are no DOUBT great
| iy exaggerated originating from some source
! that had not proper knowledgeoi the state
