T5tle Editors Of tie Chicago Tines
Being a soldier in the 10th Illinois In
faniry, / write to make known 10 you
and, If you deem proper, you can make
known through your columns--the truth
in regard tocTtaiu sentiments expressed,
or said to have been expressed, by the
Brigade Of which the 10th Illinois In
fantry constitutes part. In the first
place, the field and line officers Of the
brigade met and put on paper their SEN
timents, and then had the same read
separately 10 each regiment. Now, in
regard to our regiment, TO our knowledge,
not more than one third of the men cheer
edafter the reading Of these resolutions,
and when the vote was called for whether
they should be sent home and be pub
lished, there were not more than one
hundred men that voted in their favor
This is the plain truth Of the case. The
fact is, there is much disAfection in re-
gard to the way the war is carried on at
the present time, and our officers don't
mean to have it generally known at
home. They want to have il believed
in the North that the soldiers are all, TO
n man, unitedi in favor of the abolition of
slavery, which is not the case. If it was
generally known throughout the army
that this was a war for the abolition of
slavery, the men would throw down
their arms this day.
In regard to the resolutions which our
officers adopted, you without doubt have
seen them before this, in the Tribune.
Now, what have written, are the facts
in the case, and would like to have the
truth made known 10 the public.
ar A SOLDIER IN Co. X, 10TH ILL. IN'F.
The above correspondence was cut out
of the Chicago Times, and sent TO q
member of our company. We might
| have noticed il before, but we don't dirty
our fingers with a rag so miserable, mean
and traitorous, as the above paper.
What is stated therein as fact, is lie
intoto, and we, the members of Co. X,
10th Illinois Infantry, deny that such a
| correspondence ever was sent by any
member thereof. A traitor so mean and
low, does not exist in our midst; the
editors Of the Chicago Times may know
that from the fact that their paper is
neither bought nor kept by any man in
our company. We consider them as vile
traitors, as thvse we stand in arms
against-only more cowardly, and wish
we had an opportunity TO try our steel
on them. The above is either their own
manufacture, or written by another
traitor outside the 10th Ill for we hon
estly think there is no such character in
our regiment. Let the editor of the
pendent, or we shall think il another oil
their. foul tricks, to belle the loyal men
at home. Neither in our regiment, MOI
in our brigade, have yet been any reso-
lutions prepared or adopted, but if the
COpperheads want-tO know our senti-
ments, they shall soon hear them.
