that me people were nsYsr more detarmiued

We mays with equal proprissy, ask for the

whole must be uttsFiy ignorsd- We have n0t
word to say N pslliatien Of tbs disgraes Of the
300 dessr.eTs. The stigma is fxed and We rs-
cord It with pam; bus We protest sgainss the
gross injustice Of taking that isolated case and
basing Al opinion upon the whole State.
Tbs charge thai our soldiers, during Polk's
rstrsss, were dropping CT Ike autumn leaves"

indulgsd il such 4 sweeping assertion. Many
OF the Mississippi soldiers, IS they rstEsAtsd
By thsiE homes, did stop to see their loved ones
but IN al cases thsEs WRs no intention Of de-
seTting. The most Of tlem have already re-
turned, and when our amy goes back into Ms
sis5iPpi, We dare say they vii al nOs only
return, but IN many cases bring recruits with
them.
Now Whist has been the experiences Of soldiers
frou every Stsis IN The Coniedsrsey when they
70 say that the very beat troops could Hot resist
/ Ias temp,sdsn Of falling out Of the ranks When

sippi furnished no exception % the general

chat for slsndsIing Mississippi, they viii cen
f1e thsEsslFes 70 t1e.s, sRd give the evidence
/ TO Sustain their assertions. We again repeat
that. ct proper time, Mississippi viii not shrink
