of the Eighth Regiment, special orders from
Headquarters Department of the Pacific state

A GRAVE CHARGE.-The Sacramento Union
Of Wednesday says that complaints have existed
among the soldiers at Camp Union for some
time in regard to the insuflicieucy of their
rations. We quote from the Union:
We have assurances which we deem entirely
reliable that the soldiers are not supplied with
and cannot obtain full ratons, as allowed by
Government. In many instances, they fiud, by
weight. that they receive daily but half the
quantity of bread which they are entitled TO-
Instead of sixteen ounces, they frequently re:
ceive but eight Their rations are dealt out in
the forenoon. and it is quite common for them
TO consume during the day all they receive, and
60 without their breakfast the next morning.
Being unable TO get enough TO supply their
wants through the regular channel, an arrange
ment exists at camp by which they can par
chase bread, at an establishment there, at two
bits loaf. Those who have money have been
compelled TO procure food in this manner.
Those who have none do the best they eau
without it. Whether this state of facts applies
TO all the companies at camp, or only portion
of them, We are not advised The want Of
food has created great deal of ilfeeling
among the soldiers. A private named Crump
made complaint on that subject, few days
ago, showing his rations to one of the officers
He was ordered to the guardhouse for using
insolent language. Another, who is said to
have been as true and loyal man as ever vol
unteered his services to the Government, de
serted recently on account of the scarcity of
food Within the past two days, large numbers
of the soldiers have avowed their intention of
leaving the camp in body-assuming all the
risk and responsibility of such action-if they
cannot find redress for the evil complained Of
We know not who is guilty of climinality, or
who of culpabe negligence, in this matter
but we do know that California V Nolunteers are
entitled to enough food 10 live on and there
can be no justification or excuse for any set of
officers in Withholding it themselves or in per
mitting it TO be withheld By others.
A thorough Investigation of this matter
should be made Immediately by the military
authorities of the Department No punish
ment is too severe for individuals proven guilty
of starving soldiers by Withholding portion
Of the food allowed them by the Government
for the defence of which they have volunteered.
In this land Of plenty, the man who would be
guilty of Withholding the soldiers rations or
speculating in them, merits the scorn of all
honest men, and the heaviest penalty OF violated
law. We hope no parties implicated in this
outrage upon humanity will escape the punish
ment so richly deserved by such scoundrels.

CoSsERvArIsM.-The California Express has
veered around to about its old position again,
and Tuesdays issue contains an article on the
"Puritanical spirit of the Black Republican"
party, as it terms the Union organization 1t
says:
The Democratic party, though beaten in The
late election, retain their organization, and
cling to their principles They will not despair
ot the Republic now in this, its darkest hour.
The tendency OF Republicanism is 10 extreme
radicalism. They are but following in the
footsteps Of the Red Republicans Of France.
The fires of passion and fanaticism will burn
and rage until exhausted by their own energies,
when the gradually increasing power of the
conservative element in society will be able to
overcome and put out the flames.
What great pity that the conservative
element" has not tried its hand at putting cut
the flames of secession in some mere sensible
way than by first attempting to drive eff those
who have been from the outset fighting the
devouring element Of secession, But instead
Of doing this, they wish 10 save from destruction
the infammable institution from which the
contiagration originated. However if the
"konseFvatiye Democracy" don't succeed in
future any better than they did at the last
election, the people will not expect any great
things from them. In the meantime we otfer

measures are generally equal to his remarks
