CONvALEsCRNTC CAMP,
DETACHMENT TENTH MINI. INFANTRY,
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 20, 1864.

CoNvALEscRNT CAMP,
DETACHMENT TENTH MINI. INFANTRY
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 20, 1864.
To the Editor of the Pioneer:
Thinking that few lines from that por-
ton of the Tenth Minnesota remaining in
camp here might not be uninteresting to
your readers, send them to you, and you
are at liberty to treat them as you please.
The first division Of the sixteenth army
corps, in which the Tenth Minnesota is,
were shipped from here on steamers on
the Sd inst, destined, think, to operate
against the rebels in Arkansas Since the
regiment left not word has been heard of
it up to this date, and we who have been
left behind are as much in the dark as to
the whereabouts of our comrades, as we
have been sometimes to know where our
breakfast was coming from during Smiths
late raid into the interior.
About 100 of the regiment remain in
the oonvalescent camp at this place, most
Of whom are getting to be fit for light
duty. 4 few are in the hospitals, and /
am glad to be able to say that all of the
latter class are getting well-some to re-
turn home, for they have lost leg or an
arm, which, of course, exempts them from
further service. One thing speaks well
for Minnesota soldiers here. Scarce any
of them die from wounds received in bat
tie. This fact is owing, no doubt, to the
hardihood Of the men and their iron con-
situations
Lieut.. Col. Jennison, of St. Paul, lie in
command of the portion of the regiment
in Arkansas. We don't brag (the Tenth
never does), but We will pit Col. J. against
any field officer in the service and bet on
the result. Major Cock is here in COM
mand OF the convalescent camp of the d.
vision. His arm, which stopped bullet
at Tupelo, has not yet quite healed
The St. Paul boys Of the regiment are
mostly all with it. A few of them are on
the "sick list, and they are improving
now tina, the weather is getting cool.

Another Letter on the Same Subject
from the Fourth.

ALIArooNA, Ca, Sept. G, 1864.
To tie Editor of the Pioneer:
You will oblige many of the members
OF the Fourth by inserting the following
in your valuable paper:
On the 14th inst. one hundred recruits
for the Fourth Minnesota arrived here in
the evening. Judge of our surprise tofind
total strangers commissioned in the regi-
ment to Till vacancies occasioned by the
wear of the service There never was 8
bigger insult offered to a regiment than
that. The idea of putting lot of men
over an old regiment like the Fourth
men that have staid at home-men that
would not have enlisted but for a commits
sion-men without experience-is perfect
ly ridiculous. Of course We can't help
ourselves at present, for we are nothing
but privates, and privates have no cause
to complain.
But after the war is over, if we live to
see that day, the soldiers of the Fourth
will recollect such favors, especially at the
ballot-box. But then Gov. Miller can't
be blamed. He had so many political
friends he could not give all of them Offices
in the State so he thought he would in
suit lot of veteran soldiers who have
served for three years trying to restore
the integrity of the government, by placing
a lot Of political sharpers over us. But if
he is going to pick US oAicers out of home
sick towards, we would be much obliged to
him if he would give Us Colonel, for We
have none at present.
l don't know that the War Department
at Washington would sanction such pro-
.ceedings; but if they would, they have hit
upon a good plan to demeralize the old
troops. Yours, &C.,

Death Of Surgeon rOtter-.COnditiOn

ColOred Troops, .tc.
HELENA, Ark , Sept. II.

HELENA, Ark Sept H.
TO Tie Editor Of tie Aiooe.r:
The Sixth Minnesota Infantry are still OF
Helena, notwithstanding the many rnmors that
We were soon to be sent to a more healthy To-
cality. The deaths to this date arc forty-seven
with but little if any abatement. The sickness
seems quite as serious as during Last month.
Surgeon Potter died very suddenly this
morning of congestion Of the liver, leaving US
only I'd Assistant Surgeon AcMasters. Verify,
Nature must 60 to work now and help us.
Quite number of the sick who were able to
travel have been sent to hospital at Saint Louis.
Less than half the officers of the Regiment are
fit for duty. Our men are discouraged and
consider the hospital but a stepping stone to
the grave. ..
This is q sad picture Of the once strong and
healthy Sixth, but it is not Overdrawn nor in
any way exaggerated, and, unless there Is
change for the better very soon, the Invisible
Mastering Officer will soon have our Regiment
out Of the service
The rebels have made no demonstration here
lately, no doubt thinking we arc being got rid
OF oy disease faster than they would dispose of
us with bullets. This has been their boast, and
it Is too true. Two regiments of Hundred.
Day Men left here on Saturday Inst. their term
OF service having expired. They return home
with thinned ranks, though they have never
been in battle. 1t is naturally matter of
wonder TO thinking men, that northern troops
ore sent to this sickly regien in midsummer
instead of acclimated troops who are now in
the North, where We ought to be, but soldiers
have mo- right to complain, or even think aloud
