To the Editor Of the R.ehmond Dispatch
Sir In the editorial Of your issue Of the isuh
ultimo, which has just come under my notice Won
have represented Mr.. Julian Allen-recruiting for
the Federal army in :" Holland, Belgium and tho
rest Of Europe,"-to be "a Pole. Allow me 70 correct
this mistake. The Mr.. Allen you refer to is Hun
garian He was colonel in the Hungarian army;
came to the United States in 1859 with Rossuth ~
a member of his suite; and since then remained,
and lived, in New York. 'As to his name, Allen,''
upon which you comment that IL has :" an unusu-
ally small stock Of consonants for Of his race")
1t shows him to be Hungarian Of the Magyar race,
or a descendant OF those Huns who, in the ninth
century, invaded and conquered a part Of the an-
cient Stavonia and established the modern Hunga-
rian kingdom ' Allen" means in the Magyar Ian
guage what " hurrah mean4 In the Ensiisk or the
yell" Of the Confederate States people, or least
of the army.
The Law Of NatioIis defines the recruiting busi-
foreign cowatries to be acsisne deserving cap
ital punishment by hanging. [vxtteps Law of Ma
tons book III, chapter ii, section lS
IL Is sufficient, therefore, that should not allow
such charge to be sadded upon the Of Poland.
And hope that you will acknowledge my right to
have this correction published in your columns
With great regard, am, sir,
Your obedient servant,
