priyafc Il. IL. Dudley.

Private Dudley, 18th Massachusetts, volun-
teers, was the temporary chairman of the Sol
diers and Sailors Convention at Pittsburg. He
voluntarily resigned clerkship in the Treasu-
ry Department at Washington, to attend the
Convention, having been refused leave Oh ao-
sence sought for that purpose. The Argus mo
represents the circumstances as follows. 81,
Dudley had enjoyed his vacation OF liof f'r
the period annually accorded 70 oi1 1aaya of
that purpose and asked Tor nuI ;vi uy anv reas-
on Co.. ~ TIE leave was of course refuSed-Pti
yate Dudley left, and his place was ia ;nuar-
anothpr nerson, in accordance WIN tne lhsali
able rule in such cases. IL was on tliis s.a.e vi
e,nts that he ma de up the story OF his martyr
dom in the Radical cause, and got the CHAIR
manship of the convention by the votes of Gen.
Chamberlain and others.
The only commentary which this statement
needs is Mr.. Dudleys letter of resignation,
which recites the facts somewhat differently
The letter was read by Gen. Barlow in the con-
vention:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept 20, 1866.
SIR:-Haying been refused leave of absence,
which asked, to enable me to attend Ma
tlonal Convention of soldiers and sailors, to be
held at Pittsburg Pa, ON September, rs, 1866
hereby tender my resignation of my. clerk
ship in this office. / desire to remark, in this
connection, that the time for which l applied
was but two days, with permission to use three
days due me on q former leave from which
returned before its expiration. / feel no hest
tation in taking this action, for l deem it a
pleasure and honor to make any sacrifice fol
| the principles which 1 believe are right, and
| upon the vindication of which / believe the
safety of the Republic depends. l feel, too
that to desert the Union party, which sustain
| ed the country in her hour ofperil, would place
me in the same light as if had deserted the
Union army and joined the rebels "a contin
gency not to be entertained until 1 have los
my recollection of the sacrifices which / was
permitted to make while serving my country al
a soldier-I should feel that l had proved re
| creant to my comrades who lie buried where
| they fell or were inhumanly starved by thos'
fiends in human shape to whom it is now pro
posed to give the right to make and administe
| laws for Union men. l shall attend the Pitts
burg Convention, because believe that by 81
doing can do some little towards securing tn
final triumph of those principles for which 81
many of my comrades died.
Hoping that you will accept my resignation
