On Saturday evening, Cal wr

Hooker arrived in Troy to n,o ,an aGa
investigation into the miscond"',' IL
LIST Vt. Artillery, ordered BY tSs SS&
General commanding the be,ar.al N
the East. Col. Ludlow heard ', ~
mony of a great number Of v;,,. a' &
taking the afhdavits of Maio, TsSN
Messrs. Mosely, Cushing and iTta .%n
started for Burlington, and a,r;,.,
on Sunday morning. Col I.udla, !. lH
proceeded with the Investigation i' %"'

that the misconduct of the oS. "aa
men, as a whole, was portrayrd y ~
what extravagant colors by The T,,a

the behavior of a portion of the mso
outrageous enough to justify The Nv "
structures that were passed upOn A. "'N

elusive proof, that the discOrd DnvaI;'

of responsibility. In regard to The ,t ~
disturbance made in New York CITY. WI N
the Toy paper state on the autiottr I
the New York San, Col. Ludlow s,I NV
sed the opinion that in this case th nf y
diers were the injured party and WAN
justified. We have no desire to D,S,
the wrong-doing of even our soldiers ,%
sorry as we are that our Vermont h,,
should have been churlish enough to nj
treat the hospitable citizenes Of iuv VIII
are always quick to give our troowAtr
just need of praise, we do not feelNs
this single exception to their usual, r,
cellent discipline can materially An
the high reputation Of the soldiers h,
our State. We also think that The NI|
SIN, which was so ready to denOuDs 4,
lst Vt. Artillery for upsetting an pppe
stand, would do we'll not to 50 stnlonsIv
conceal the fact that the courageous con.
duct of certain other regiments at Cas-
tie Garden, less than month ago, wa
marked by the more exciting event Of tn
killing Of one officer, and the brutal kicI
ing of another by their own men, Ne
York will not soon forget the return
the Irish Brigade, whose conduct was
damnable that not even the familiar
quence of their old commander, &c
Meagher, who appeared by special Iequ
of the alarmed citizens. could still III
into jecency. Those who saw the ma
behavior of the 9th New York on thel
Sunday night train from New York
will not be ready to believe that the
bulence of the LIST VI. was more exos
than is frequently exhibited to New J
eyes by New York soldier boys. Tn
cret of the whole matter is that the
ments, who have been about Washin
for months past impatientiy awaiting
ter out, do get their morale a good
impaired, and foolish regulation q
War Department which directs their
ter out at Washington, and then
them here for payment, makes 1t
difficult for the officers to control
men; for as an officer told us, pest
citizens are not wanting along thel
who tell the men that the muster cd
tipguishes all possibility of punish
for disobedience, and incite them to
of iusubordination. Of course the lo
regiment waits in a listless, discOH
led stae. for muster out, the more Dsu
dinate it becomes. and it is notice
that the regiments last coming home
have the worst. We say this mua
palliation of the structures upon The
GERS for their apparent want Of con
over the men. The conduct OF the LIST
Artillery may we'll astonish Vernon, n
but it need not be spoken of by New Y
papers as an extraordinary Outrage EA
finds no parallel among their own Te'V
ins regiments If some of our boys
last catch tie infectious rowdylsm'
offence does not demand a column .,
half, while their prototypes Of the
pire State get off with paragraph
kindly "no MENTION" Gen. Hooker ID
do well to be retrospective before heP
es at Vermont officers.
