REORGANIZATION OF THR ARxY-SuBsrrUrEs DC
1t seems to be the settled purpose of the govern
ment to re- consc:pt the twelve months men in the
army, without giving them the right to which they
are entitled Of recognizing the companies and regi
ments. Mr.. Wigfal one of the friends of the Pres
ident, said few days since in the Senate that to
suffer reelection Of officers would be to demoraze
the army. The very opposite is the truth To re-
fuse this right will be to demoralize the army Pub
lie men show but little respect for, or confidence in
our brave troops when they utter such views. In.
deed the men ought never to have been deprived Of
the right to elect their officers.
We make the following extracts from letter from
an intelligent soldier, dated Army of Northern Vir
ginia, December Goth, 1868:
III was under the impression that it was the duty
OF Congress to legslae for the good of our common
country but instead of this it seems to have assem-
bled for the pu poseo of ignoring all laws heretofore
passed, and to trample under foot every principle
sacred to the rights of man. 1t has passed, or will
pass law requiring all twelve months men now in
the army of the Confederate States to continue ia
service without the privilege of recognizing At tt
expiration of their term of servlee-an act OF tn
grossest injustice, and one which will incur the Gel

Cruelty to Soldiers.

One of the correspondents of the Atlanta lntelli-
gsncer aludes follows to the cruel treatment Of
privates in the army of Tennessee:
"Snce my arrival here have been taking special
pains to observe everything worthy of observation,
and among the things have noticed is one to which
l desire particularly to call the attention of our
generals. allude to the abuse Of power by subor-
dinate officers in the army, and the i'll results which
accrue from acts of tyranny over the prlvstes.
shall explain my acoustic by mentioning . cir
cumstance which fell under my personal observa-
ton on Saturday last and which 1 made note of
with the intention Of writing you for publication.
New Orleans friend Of mine, being a member
Of the reserve artillery at this place. called to see
him, and observed several men "riding rails with
guard over them. On enquiring the nature of
their crimes, which called for such a humiliating
punishment learned that it was nothing more
than neglect to answer roll call in the merning. l
also learned that the commander of the battalion
was in the habit of inaicting such punishment as
"rail toting," "rail riding" "post whipping" y
"stump digging" and "thumb lifting" for the
slightest offence and then without waiting for the
order of court martial, but on his own RESPONSE.
bility.
am compelled to protest against any such acts
of tyranny, for three reasons:
lst Because the punishment Of a simple offence is
limited to "extra duty" that is, an extra amount
Vi legitimate WlH1Ey uuty, WHICH puDSumc1t the
company commander should inRict
I'd, Because no corporeal punishment shall be in
hicted, unless by order of q court martial
Sd, Because such i'll treatment of our men leads
to hatred Of their officers and ends either in deser
ton, or that revolving offense known as "picking
off, our own officers on the battle field
This abuse Of power and tyrannical acts on the
part of the Subordinate officers, exists, learn, to
some extent in this army, and must always be pro-
ductive Of evil and detrimental. to the morals and
spirits of the troops"
One of the strongest reasons why the army ough.
to be recognized aud the men permitted to elect
their officers, is to be found in this cruelty of
tain officers towards privates If the officers knew
that they would be responsible to the nssn and not
to superiors who wink at their crueties they would
pursue different course, and veterans who have
perilled their lives on score of battle Aelds and
many of whom are covered with honorable wounds,
would not be treated like negroes or dogs for every
trivial offence. An officer Who inaicts cruel and
unnecessary punshments on his men is unworthy
of his commission, and if be had justice his name
would be stricken from the rolls. Such officers are
mean and cowardly. Weregret that there are such
in the service. They are marked, and when the
war is over, If not before, they will reap their re.
