Soldiers Complaints.

The Boston Journal, q Republican paper
Of the staunchest stamp, refers to one OF the
complaints Of the Federal soldiers now on
duty lii the South ia The following language.
It says: 1--WE frequently receive letters
from the New Eogtand regiments which
are still retained in the service, complain
ing because they are not mustered out and
allowed to return home We earnestly
sympathize with these men in their desire
to return to their homes and to the employ
ments Of private life, and wish it was pos
s;ble for them to be discharged at once"
These complaints Of the soldiers are ra
tiouaI and Just, and should receive respect.
full attention at the hands Of the proper au
thorit;es. For four long years these men
have been separated from their families aud
the endearments Of home, undergoing all
manner Of priyation and hardship, and ex-
posed to the perils CT many a bravely con-
tested battle field; and 1t is natural. now
that the war is over and there is no longer
any real use for their services 10 the camp.
;aat they should express sincere wish 10
be mustered out and allowed to return home. !
We hope the Government may deem it COM
patible with the public interests, as we Ger
tainly think it is, to respond favorably to
the tervent desires of these veteran soldiers
10 any man Of feeling and sensibility, home
is the sweetest and dearest spot on earth.
no matter how humble and low y that home
may be and, for one, we cordially sympa-
taize with the wishes Of these warworn
and battle Scared veterans on this point,
and trust those wishes may be fully graft
fed at no dis ant day
The people Of the South are quiet, peace
able and loyal, and propose to continue IN
that frame of mind the remainder of then
days on earth. So far at they are concern
ed, therefore, there is not the shadow Of ne
cessity for the presence Of a single Federal
soldier in their midst. Rich. Wing.

by gentleman connected with the heads
quarters of the Union forces at GAINESVILLE,
Texas It i. dated July 18th. and is as
follows:
II am now lying a. the mouth of the Rio
Graude, opposite to Bagdad. The Mexi-
cans, under Maximiliao, guard the opposite
side and our troops this. The respective
pickets are not forty yords apart, and there
! is good deal of unfriendly feeling between
the two armies. SO that they cannot long re
frain from blows, On the 4th of July, our
officers went over aud many rows occurred.

commander Of Brownsville, yesterday had
an interview with President Jaurez and
promised him the assistance of the United

possible, but even if lie succeeded thin s
