THE DEPARTMENTS CRITICISED.
Action I'm Regard to the First Mis-
sissippi Volunteers.

sissippi Volunteers.
A great deal of adverse criticism has
been occasioned in army circles in WASH
ington by the action of the War Depart
ment in regard to the conduct of the First
Mississippi Regiment of Volunteers. re-
Gently mustered out on the way to their
home State. AS told in n recent dispatch
published in The Times, these men carried
things with a high hand on their way
from Columbia, Tenn, where they were
mustered out, to their rendezvous in Me-
ridian. Miss.
According to reports. the majority of
the soldiers were drunk and they took
complete possession of the train which
carried them. All along the route they
amused themselves by shooting at houses
and barns, and when stations were
reached their fusillades at the depots so
the station keepers that they
fled to the country.
While the train was passing Eutaw,
Ga. the drunken soldiers of the regiment
fired on colored woman and her son,
who were standing near the track The
woman whose name was Lucy Thomas.
was wounded and her son was killed.
The conduct of the men was called to
the attention of the war department Dut
the officials replied that the soldiers were
mustered out and consequently RESPONSE
BILE only to the civil authorities for their
actions Therefore. no steps will be taken
by the department to punish the Of
tenders.
The department is criticised principally
for allowing such a condition of affairs
to occur as \ result of carelessness In
looking after the men mustered out of
the service. Officers here do not believe
that the arms used by the soldiers along
the route were those issued by the Gov
ernment, as all such most have been
turned in at the time the men were mus
tered out.
They say. however, that there is no ex-
cuse for permitting a body of irresponsible
men, just out of Government employ. 10
travel as a military organization and take
advantage of the opportunities and i'm
munity from interference which their ag-
gregate strength and uniforms afforded TO
terrorize aud irjure unoffending citizens.
+ The department is especially criticised
for allowing the men to depart for their
homes In such numbers without an ade-
quate guard, or some other precautionary
