We learn that number of men have
lately deserted from the garrisons at this
place and Spartanburg. Many have
been captured and brought back. They
give as an excuse for deserting that when
they enlisted they were promised and
paid sixteen dollars per month, but the
Government has since reduced their
pay to thirteen dollars. They claim
that they engaged with the Government
to work as soldiers, for certain length
OF time, at sixteen dollars per month,
but tie Government has broken the con-

not be permitted also to ''hy" from it.
