Correspondence.


llrADeuARrE Co n. MAXINE REC.
In Camp vicskburg August 80, 1864.
Editor Vicskburg Herald;
notice in your issue of to-day
an account of dissatisfaction in
what was formerly tn Mississippi
Marine Brigade, amounting ac-
cording TO the statement, TO almost
open mutiny. Now, having scry-
cd in the Miss. Marine Brigade
over since its organization; and
having served my country to the
best ofmy ability since MAY, 1861,
| profess to have at least some
knowledge Of the duties of sol
dier, and can say, without the
slightest hesitation, that no organi
cation of tho same strength were
ever better able or more willing to
do their whole duty rs soldiers,
Notwithstanding it seems to have
been the chief object of somc to
bring the Brigade into disrepute.
A disposition, however, which was
never actuated by any principle Of
loyalty. 1t matters not whether
the author belonged to tho army,
the navy, or thicving band of the
notorious cut.throats Quantrell,
whose friends have always been
loudcst in their dcnunciations of tho
Marine Brigade. which only
makes il the greater scandal for
loyal men to Join in the woltish
howl. 1t is stated that on Satur.
day last the Brigade wero ordered
from thuir beats to camp, when
they refused to go; and that the
72d Illinois infantry, with loaded
pieces, escorted them to camp,
where they still are kept under
strict guard aud still refuse to do
duty which statement is almost
entirely false. But We presume
was altogether ignorance of the
facts, and the sentiments Of the
soldiers of this command, The
truth ia there was only n small
portion of the Brigade that made
any objection to going off the boats;
and no portion o; any company in
the regiment has refused to do
any duty for which they have been
detailed, however laborious, since
we have been in emp, and our
duties have been unusually heavy,
rs is always tho case in construct
| ing new camp. The citizens in
the vicinity OF our camp says that
n more respectful and quiet set oi
men have never been campcd in
the nicghborhood.
Now all we ask ia justice, to
which We are entitled and for
which we will contend. Give us
that, and we arc good soldiers
deprive us of it, and you DESTROY
our energies and make us what
wo do not otherwise design to be
We ns officers have heard that
Major Gen. Dana has, from some
cause. received the impression
that the command to which We
have the honor to belong was upon
the point of mutiny, and that the
officers were ut tho head OF the
same. Ii such au impression has
been mnde we would say, with all
,doferoncc to our commander, that
liz is an erroneous one, and all We
ask is that when he becomes con.
vinced of the facts, as he surely
will, that he will be generous
enough, and We believe he will,
to acquit us with the honor to
which wo arc entitled rs officers
and soldiers.
