RS5' The following letter from a member

an earnest request to publish the same
Such wholesale ration robbery as complained
of deserves the sevcrcst punishment, if the
guilty parties can be reached. We wish the
names Df the offenders had been furnished
by our correspondent, that we might print
thcrl in the blacklist letter in the Office. 1t
seems strange that such abuses should be
practiced Oh our soldiers, and they not able
to lodge complaint against the robbers of
their daily bread, that might bring the cul-
prits to justice:
CAMP OF 9TH MD. Vols,
Weldon Railroad, Va, Jan. list, 1865.
Mr.. EDITOR Thinking few lines from
our Regiment might prove interesting to
some of your readers, concluded to write
the same, hoping that you may find room
for them in the columns of your paper.
shall not attempt to give you any news,
but merely write IL few facts in regard to
the ungencrous manner in which we have
been treated since rejoining the Army of
the Potomac, about three weeks ago.
We have served more than two years in
the army and have never before complained
publicly. But now that we suffer almost
daily from hrnger, we think ii quite time to
say something We do not wish to cast any
part of the blame upon any of our Regimen
tai or Company officers, for with them we
have shared the dangers of the battle field
and the quiet of the camp. Our connection
with them for SO long Il period, has served
to bind our hearts together with the ties of
/, nI,b H., &c tL,,
unprincipled miscrcants who are robbing the
soldiers of what Justly belongs to them, and
filling their pockets with their i'll gotten booty
These men, in time of danger are far in the
rear. They have never heard the whistling
of the bullet, the shrieks of the wounded,
or the groans of the dying. Duty calls them
not to the front in time of battle neither
do they suffer the hardships of the march
To cold and hunger they are strangers, Cat
least since wearing the shoulderstraps of
Captain and c. s.
We well know that orr Government al
lows its soldiers an abundance of rations,
and when the regular ration is served, no
soldier can eat his allowance. But during
the last three weeks our rations have been
SO very scant that we have suffered from
hunger almost daily. A great many of the
men wrote to their friends at home to send
them by express boxes or cdlDlcS some OF
which have been received, although the re-
ceipts from Inc express agents have been
forwarded to us by our friends and been re-
ceived long ago. And now, sir, would you
not call this i'll treatment to men who have
left home and friends to share the danger of
the battle field and Strike for that which
every good man should be willing to battle
for-.trcedom and Liberty?
In conclusion we would tender the thanks
of the Sixth Maryland to those to whom we
are indebted for an excellent Christmas din
ner, which was received in due time and we
sincerely trust that when another Christmas
day comes, our country shall. be at peace,
and COmmiSsdricS and the Confectionery be
numbered among the things of the past.
