Cruelty to Soldiers,

One Of the correspondents of the Atlanta Lntelli-
geRcer alludes as follows to the cruel treatment Of
privates in the army of Tennessee:
"Since my arrival here l have been taking special
pains to observe everything worthy of observation,
and among the things have noticed is one to which
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 prEates.
shall explain my accusation by mentioning . cir.
cumstance which fell under my personal observa,
tion on Saturday last, and which | made note of
with the intention Of writing you for publication.
A New Orleans friend of mine, being member
of the artillery at this place. called to
him, and observed several men "riding rails" with
guard over them. On enquiring the nature Of
their crimes, which called for such q humating
punishment I learned that it was nothing more
than neglect to answer roll call in the morning.
also learned that the commander of the battalion
was in the habit Of inhicting such punishment as
rail toting," "rail rding," post whipping"
"stump digging" and "thumb lifting. for the
slightest offence and then without waiting for the
order OF court martial, but Oh his own response
bility.
am compelled to protest against any such acts
of tyranny, for three reasons:
1st, Because the punishment of simple offence is
limited to "extra duty" that is an extra amount
OF legitimate military duty, which punishment the
CVHtpuHy COmmanuer SnOulQ ln1lct.
I'd, Because no cOrp0redL punishment shall be in
fiicted, unless by order of a court martial.
Sd, Because such i'll treatment of our men leads
to hatred Of their officers and ends either in deser
tion, 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 reorganzed and the men permitted to elect
their officers is to be found in this cruelty of GER
tain officers towards prvates. If the officers knew
that they would be responsible to the men, and not
to superors who wink at their cruelties they would
pursue different course, and veterans who have
pered their lives on a score of battle fields, and
many of whom are covered with honorable wounds,
would not be treated like negroes dogs for every
trivial offence. An officer who inhcts cruel and
unnecessary punishments on his men is unworthy
of his commission, and if he had justice his name
would be stricken from the rolls Such officers are
mean and cowardy. Weregret that there are such
in the service. They marked, and when the
war is over, if not BEFORE they will reap their
ward.

- REORGANIZATION OF THE ARNY-SUBsrIrUTEs, &c.

are entitled of recognizing the companies and regi
ments Mr.. Wigfall one of the friends Of the Pres

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

OF Congress to legsate for the good of our common

The Passport System a Nuisance.

We have suggestion to make to the portion Of
Congress which really desires to replenish the ar
my, and is not merely intent upon ademagogueism
which sings of arms in public and speculates in
apple brandy, privately. 1t is easy to make
number of practical tests of the real disposition of
Congress to increase and strengthen the army, and
the suggestion we have now to make, offers ready
and conclusive one.
The suggestion is this: To abolish the passport
system. Such an act would give to the field that
large horde of brawny military idlers connected
with this supernumerary bureau. The officer of
passports has three setts of employees. There
various clerks, scribes, and messengers immediate
ly connected with the Office then the guards at
the stations of travel, a squad of whom is to be
found at every railroad platform in the Confedera
cy, bullying passengers and, finally the trim mil
itary gentlemen who travel from station to station,
and baw in every railroad car in the Confederacy,
"show your passportsl" All these employees IN
the South would furnish several full divisions
They are generally able-bodied, always impolite,
and if their courage is equal to the insolence Of
their manners, would make very positive and cour-
ageous soldiers.
The present employment of these men is of no
earthly benefit to the Confederacy. Indeed, the en-
tire passport system is an uHmtigated nuisance; 1t
is worse than useless it is source of endless an
poyance to honest persons, and instead of being
check on spies and traitors, it is positive facility to
them for it makes the only test of the legitimacy
of their travel the possession of a scrap of brown
paper, which any william may easily get any fool
may easily forge The writer has recently travelled
over several thousand miles in the Confederacy,
through various .gauntlets of the passport system
and he has never yet one single instance of &C
tual arrest by the agents Of that system. Does any
one know of asingle important arrest madeIthrough
the agency of the passport Officer Yet we all know
that spies are constantly moving from point point
in the Confederaoy and making their exit at pleas
ure. The passport actually facilitates them; for
it is easily got is taken pria Gcie evidence in
their favor, quiets suspicion, and excludes enQRry
the authorities desire to detect spies and traitors
it must be done through some other agency than
the passport office, which experience, in addition to
reason, has shown to be inefficient corrupt, and, in
fact auxiliary to the escape of the friends and ennis
saries of the enemy. But it is not only on these
accounts that the office should be abolished but es'
pecialy because it employs very considerable num-
Der of men who should be in active military service
Many of these men are skulking on detailed service
they belong properly to the army, and are eager
enough to wear the uniform and present the insignia
ofsoders on railroad cars; and it is high time that
they were put where they belong.-R'ehm0"9 6S
