entreaty TO Col. Franklin to leave the men
TO him for such punishment as would be an
effective example TO the regiment.
Col. Franklin acceded 10 the request and
rode away. Col. German, turning to the
trembling culpriis, said: Now, - you,
take up that beef and 20 to your regiment,
and don't disgrace it by getting caught in
any such scrape again" The boys were glad
at escaping punishment which seemed GER
tain, and determined TO profit by the Colo
nels rather equivocal advice.
But, TO go on with my story, when the
boys found they could not pilage any more,
they went buying. We had received our
last payment in greenbacks, but the people
OF Paris were too loyal 10 their cause TO take
them. Uncle SANS gold and silver they
would take, but our greepbacks not.
Then one rogue asked them if they would
take Confederate paper money. Sure, they
would. OFF he went 10 his knapsack and
brought Confederate money, which he said
he had exchanged for some greenbacks from
some rebel prisoners at the battle of Antie-
tam. In reality they were green goods
bought from some Philadelphia firm. This
the people took willingly, and soon the little
place was flooded with counterfeit CuDfed-
crate money. As long as change in silver
md small gold coins could be got the boys
nook it, but when that was exhausted they
ook whatever the people had, and they
euld make use Of, to make the deal even.

Two BOYS of our regiment had made the
raise of sheep, and as Old hands were at it,
had it soon skinned. Two Of the Maine
boys looked on. One of our b'ys espied the
Provost coming. He nod led to his partner,
saying. / guess We have enough of the
other sheep; let the Maine boys have this. U
Then they sneaked of.
The Maine boys had taken hold of it when
caught by the Provost-guard, aud marched
to Brigade Headquarters. Gen. German soon
ordered all the delinquents to be straddled
on fence. When the guard reported the
work done, he walked along the fence, in
specting the whole string. Among the look
ers-on were two of our boys. and seeing the
Maine boys they asked them how they liked
mutton. The Maine men shook their fists,
but said nothing.

EDITOR NATIONAL. TRIBUNE: In a recent

the Goth regiment, requested the privilege
of taking his regiment and burning it,
There is no record of any such insubordi-

occurred there. 1t is true that Lieut. Col.
Brigham did command the Goth Ohio, and
that he did take his regiment and burn

were the SD Ohio, Maj. Holmes; s5th ILL.,,
Col Dilworth Seth Ill.,, Lieut.-Col. Magee

In his official report Col. McCook says:
