TERRIBLE %HARDSRiPS.

A soldier belonging to the Third In
fantry, which recently marched from
Corinne, Utah, to Montana, several of
the companies being ordered to Helena,
and the balance of the regiment to the
new post at Missoula, writes a letter to
an army officer here, describing
the hardships endured by the troops
during the tramp of over six hundred
miles. The men of this command were
ill-prepared, by reason of their long
residence in New Orleans, for the rig
ors of early winter in the Rocky noun
tains, and their sufferings were acutely
intense. During a part of the journey
they were exposed to a violent snow
storm, with the thermometer 15o below
zero. Not an officer or soldier in the
regiment was provided with o%vershoes
or gloves. Not a few of the men, says
this letter-writer, were nearly barefoot
ed, and added to the agony of freezing
feet was the additional torture of being
forced to grip the cold steel of their
muskets with naked hands day after
day. When the regiment left New Or
leans there was not So in possession of
officers and men. The women and
children belonging to the command, in
Guiding the wives and offspring of the
officers, numbered thirty-two, and
transportation for these, of course, hal
to he secured at individual expense.
The writer says but for the timely aid
of friends, who, understanding the im-
pecunious condition of the rank and
file, advanced little money out of their
W private means, these dependent
and destitute followers of the camp
must have suffered abandonment in
their time of greatest need. On the
march northward to Corinne several of
the women and children fell sick under
the terrible exposure, and for weeks
their lives were almost despaired of.
The transportation outfit allowed the
command was limited to three ambu-
lances. As there was not a dollar of
money i'll the regiment, the simplest
wants of the sick could not be gratifed,
as the isolated ranchmcn and hunters
in that country refused to part with
anything when the cash was not forth
coming. Finally, as the regiment was
nearing the end of their march, ragged,
footsore, penniless and shivering, some
of the officers sold their pay-rolls fol
cash, but not without the sacrifice of a
discount of % per cent. on the dollar.
