The Richmond Despatch OF this date
printed TIE following: "Desertion has
become far too frequent in the Con
federate army. And yet the habit is
not peculiar to Confederate soldiers.
There must be assertions from all
military service where there is no
punishment for desertion. We mean
no punishment adequate to the Of
fence-none which a coward or vaga-
bond had not rather encounter than
endure the service or the perils of a
battle. Death is the proper punish
ment, and 1t is the punishment pre-
scribed In our laws--the punishment
melted to deserters by governments
generally. We anticipate that DIR owG
government VIII be forced to resort
to 1t. With creditable for
bearance and humanity, the policy OF
appealing to the pride of soldier by
advertisement. by disgraces. has been
pursued by our commanders; but
there is little pride and no honor in
deserter. and the fear of disgrace
will not deter him from absconding.
