"INDEPENDENT IN ALL THINGS-NEUTRAL IN NONE."
HARRISBURG, PA., MONDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 27, 1861
Ida. EDI ros is s lid that at Washington
the Penus t ivania troops are beet known as
" Tue ltagged-b,ckel Penneyl Val ian9. "
know that a number of volueteenr now sta
tion, d in Merylaild, guaruing to lroeds, al
though furnished with new uniforms, are
obliged to wear their long overcoats as substi
tutes; fur pantaluves. As far as I know they
have plenty to eat, and of good quality.
Much has lately been eat(' in pubic prints
on this shameful imposition on our soldiers,
and it is quite possible teat some men in en
thorny are blemed eho do nut really decent .
it. Div oljett is now to state to the public
what I know snout the treatthent of at least
our c ut,peny now at Camp Curtin.
About five weeks ago the 'deli Infantry of
Munich Chunk,—Capt. Dennis McGee—receivers
orders to march iuto Camp, which order was
promptly obeyed. The men comptaiug said
tympany expect* d, es they had a right to ex
pect after re ,cluing the camp, that they vreut-1
be furnished—within a reesunable time—ii
nut with unifolms, at least such at tides as are
intlispeneible. They waited paii.ntly fr. m
day to day, and from week to week, receiving
very go d food end plenty of it, but not a rehoe,
slob is or pair of pantaluone or any other a. tic! -
iu that ti,e 801118 of them had no change or
shit tf r five weeks Darin.: the extra eessiou
of the Legislature I frequently visited the com
pany, and felt called upon to give them the as
surance almr at daily that "tee pewees 'hit be"
would, iu a very snort time, attend to tht it
wants. Isucceseled in satisfying some of tnem
at lea-t, that this delay, or apparent neglect
was unavoidable and they wee wiling, most
; heinfolly, to cuff r a little ionuer. Yesterdey
I ...gain visi ted this neglected, p etient and truly
patriotic company Some trine or ten were en
drill entirely barefoot, d. Several could trot ap
pear in the ranks at all for want of pantaluone,
ehilet others were in the ranks with shirts cm
their backs for five we, ks without change!
They appealed to me, as their friend, whether
this is tbe kind tre etrueut Arne.lean soldiers
must put up with! They keew that the Legie
laturo promptly voted =Mobs to organize,
clothe, feed and equip the soldiere, and yet
some of them were almost entirely baked! I
pledged my word that something would be
done for them without further delay. With
another friend of the company I visited the
Quarter Master's department, in the camp, and
stated the case. I was told that, as the com
pany was 'not yet ilirmally mustered into ser
vice, they could do nothing for them without
an order from Quarter Master General Hale. We
immediately allied on him' at his department
and stated the case to him. His reply was,
"Can't do anything for them, sir." I re
minded him of the fact that they are men and
soldiers, but naked, and insisted that they
must have something to wear. He_again re
plied that as they are not formally mustered
into service, it would be a violation of the
rules and regulations to give them clothing.—
I then appealed to hint to give me an order for
about a dozen pairs of shoes, pants and shirts.
to supply those who are really almost naked,
at the same time offering to deposite into
his hands a sufficient amount of money
to indemnify him, and thus make myself
'responsible, the money to be refunded to me af
ter the company shall have been formally mus
tered in. This he also declined, because it
would be "against their regulation," and com
plicate tbeir accounts I Satisfied that the Quer
termiester General bad no inclination to do any
thing for these poor but brave mu n, I withdrew
from his august presence and proceeded down
town, where I bought thirteen pairs of shoes,
ten pairs of pants and ten shirts. These few
articles soon found their way to the company,
and were properly distributed by Captain
M'Gee among the. most needy. lam as
eared that some of the Harrisburg ladle,
are about furnishing this company with ad
ditional articles of clothing. If they do I
know that they will recieve many beauty "Goo
bless you ye's" from tlr.se lung neglected suf
fwinz tellow-men.
Now, Mr. Editor, who is most responFib'e
for the saatplatious condition of our v.
According to my expeii7nce and observation,
it is this Q tarter Master General With
a pi aAieat busiuree wan at the head of the de
-I,artweut, it does seem to me much might b,
done to supply tht wants of the sol tiers. But,
according to his int reretation of rules ano
ragu attune, Acueliahtu citizens who volunteer
to lay down thrir lives li neces.-aty, in defence
of the freedom we all enjoy, must go naked,
and, I suppose. as far as the stme tuuctioa.arl
is pohdel ua 41, starve, until some other function
ary may think lit to pronouuce them " formal
ly mUStcred into service."
Such treatment of our volunteers is, to say
the le.ast, disgracoful. Acc ,, raieng to my j edit
rneht the fault is iu the Department 01 the
Quarter Mister General H. H. Barrett.

The steamer Yankee arrived here yesterday
from Fortress Monroe, bringing the following
impnrtantintelligence : General Butler yester
day captured Bewell's Point, with a loss of 84
killed and wounded.
The enemy lost between 800 end 400 killed
and wounded.
Many prisoners were taken, numbering near
ly 600.
On Thursday evening the enemy's pickets
near the fort were surprised, and 800 prisoners
brought to the fort. -
The War Department has Information to the
same effect.
SECOND .DISPATCH
The U. 8. mall steamship John A. Warner
arrived here at 11 o'clock last night hum
Fortress Monroe.
At 7 o'clock on Saturday morning, Captain
Cone entirely discredited the report of a battle
having taken place at Sewell's Poiut on Frid ty.
He passed the point soon after leaving the
fortress, and there was no apearance of au en
gagement having taken place there since that
of Saturday noon last, which he viewed float
hie steamer et the Fortress.
The steamer Live Ytukee, whose arrival was
reported at Watzhington, was lying' at o.d
Point whet, he left, and be d mitts Itt.r ability
to make the passage to Washington in so short
a time.
Capt. Cone paid a visit to gortress Monroe
ou Friday aftamoon and wituesed a dress pa
rade, in which all the troops participat,d,
There were from five to six thousand troops io
the Fortress, an incr, 133 of nearly three mon
sand over the previous week.
The arrivals or the week include two Massa
chuetta and one Vermont regiment. One of
the Vermont soldiers mimed twin Under
wood or Uuderville was burieQatl!'ortressMJa•
rue on Wentlesday.
'Capt. C. wa , .ierstood, from conversation with
Capt. Peudergras that a movement would
be made on Sewell's Point and toward , Nor
folk u soon as more reinforcements arrived.
As the sten=er John A. Waruer was passing
out of the bay else pisst-.41 just inside of the
capes of a large steamer coming in crowded
with trovs---some 1500 or more in number.
The steamer Kingston left for Fortress Mon
roe ou Friday with a large ship in tow, probs.-
ify one of tbo frigates, several of which were
takin daily by the blockading equAdron. Two or
three of the vessels - from Richmond to Balti
more which had been captured and had been
released,.
The Sag ship Minnesota. Commodore String

Ste would sail soon under sealed orders.
Captain Cone viewed the action which took
place at Sewell's Point on Sunday last, and says
that the Star dismounted five out of the eight
guns of the battery, but does not beleve any
lives were lost.
The Star Hied 109 shots, when her ammuni
tion gave out. Sub:evently a small prop, filer
came np and fired four shots at the battery and
then retired.
The captain is confident that he would have
also been an eye-witness of the engage nen
which la reported to havetaken place on Friday,
had it really occurred.
The remains of Colonel Ellsworth ariived
here fatly this morning, and were received by
a deputation of the fund committee and two
members from each company'of the fire de-
