POINT OF STARVATION.
STATE OF THE DELAWARE SOL
DlERS At MIDI. ETOWN CAMP.

AbHOhlO lh ANEf<J VT EOOtf ANVIL
ARE ANXIOUS no GET HOME.
AN EYE WITNESS STORY.
J. G. Green, OF this city. spent yester-
day with the Delaware boys at Camp
Meade. He says that he found them In
a state CT starvation. Tlzere is plenty
OF fosd there, but they are unable 10
get it on account OF red tape or the
stupidity of the War Department. They
have had meats some days, and on
other days they are in absolute need Of
fcsd. The complaint in the regiment
is general, and all OF the boys he saw
were anxious to get home He inter
viewed about seveniy-five at random
and found them unanimous in the de
sire to be mustered out.
The only ones satisfied are the offi-
GERS, some OF whom are making more
money than they ever made in their
lives before. The state OF health is
fair. He brought with him 4 sample Of
the bread which they are forced to eat.
It is sodden and sour and as heavy as
lead. Captain Brennan, Of Company r,
ard Captain Taylor, OF Company M,
have spent their money TO alleviate the
sufferings OF their men. Some OF the
other officers have gene down in their
pockets for like purpose. He did not
see one private who wanted to stay IN
tire service. One company has thirty
five loaves of bread and enough pota-
toes to cover the bottom Of a sugar
barrel, and that must last them unit
tomorrow. The bread is better thar
the sample he brought home with him
He says that outside OF the officers no
more than fifteen OF the thousand wan.
to stay.
Samuel II. Baynard was up and sue
ceeded in getting his boy home TO
twenty-four hours. Some OF the Dela
ware College boys will be home thi
week. MIR. Green says that the regl
ment nseds no ice, as it has a splendi'
water supply. There is no assuranc
that boxes OF things sent from hom
win be delivered to those for w'h-n
they are intended. Colonel Wicker
o sham has resigned, but lpis resignation
t has not been accepted. One hoy sal
:. that he weuld willingly forfeit nj
S months pay for an honorable dis
s charge. Mail matter is not delive7e
q for two days ON account Of rcd tap
ie and, taken altogether, the De.awar
n troops are in desperate straits.
