MAI. sAFFoRD's LETTER.

BURLINGTON, VT, Aug. 81, 1860
EDITOR OF BURLINGTON TINES
Sir: My attention has been called to two ar
ticles in the Daily Times, of Troy, New York in
reference to the conduct of the First Vermont
Artillery while there, which are, in many re-
spects, very erroneous, and |, therefore give the
following as the facts in the case so far as saw
them and which think entirely correct
The trouble W, first caused by two women,
who, under the garb of respectable people ming
led with the soldiers and sold them liquor from
bottles conccaei under their skirts this saw
and stopped myself at one time, but it was be-
gun again while / was down to the rear of the
train and it was one of these persons the sol
der was accused Of taking undue liberties with.
Being at the time partially intoxicated, he re-
turned blow for the no gentle order to 'et the
woman alone,'' and in return was struck by one
or more of the persons present.
No one more than myself regrets the scene
which occurred for few minutes, but the vic.
lence was by no means all on one side, as several
citizens, who were somew at in liquor, were de-
termined to fight, and it was with great deal of
difficulty they could be made TO stand back few
feet from the cars, while the men were being put
on board the train, which was done within fif
teen minutes from the time the first disturbance
menced.
The man who struck Maj Egolf was placed in
confinement, but not the man he thought struck
him the man who struck Mr.. Mosely did not
know, and do not now.
AS to the imputatiohs upon the Off GERS and
men of the battalion generally, have only to
say that none have better record, most of the
former having been prompted for bravery and
good conduct and of the latter, instead of be-
ing ''mostly Canadians and bounty Jumpers, {"
three-iOurths of them at least are sons of Yer.
mont and have faced death in their country s
service in many hard contested battle, and
some of them, officers and men, have for many
months endured the terrible sufieriDgs and priva-
lions of Southern prisons.
/ am, Sir Very respectfully,

Colonel jacques.

We clip the following from the Evansville
Journal. and have little doubt from what have
observed of the prosecution, that Colonel Jacques
has been unjustly dealt by. Such malignant pro-
slavery COpperheads as compose the police courts
and police force OF Louisville. would compass sea
and land to ruin the reputation of loyal officer
more especially he is n preacher. The charge
agains, Colonel J. is vet to be tried in court oi
higher jurisdiction. where we trust that the limo
ccnce of the accused vii! be made manifest:
A gentlemln whose word stands high in all cor,
murties where he is known, states that he WIS in
louisville last FRIDAY, and attended the trial OF
Colonel Jacques Must of the testimony was Civ
en- in on that day. and he had fair opportunity to
Judge of the guilt OF innocence ~ the accused
The evidence was concluded about noon. when, 10
his surprise, the Judge announced that he would
not render his decision until the next morning -
Our ,forrisnt AYERS that he could not discover any
proof whatever OF the crime charged against Colo.
mel j. and was with many others with whom he
conv-rsed surprised that the Judge did not a. once
dismiss the case. Our informant thinks anv citi.
zen OF Louisville will scarcely be safe if Colonel
Jacques is condemned upon tue testimony given in
We know nothing Of the case beyond what We
have seen in the papers, and trust that the above
is true.
