VOLUNTEER SOLDIER'S ANXIOUS TO BE MUSTERED OUT. Those Who Failed to Get a Chance to Fight Have No Desire to Do Garrison Duty—Last Letter to tho Tribune from the Chickamauga Camp. Chickamauga, Ga., August 29, 1808. EDITOR TRIBUNE. —This will be my last letter to you from this place, as we break camp hero tonight for Knoxville, Tennessee. The soldiers are all glad to get away from this camp, for no one knows better than themselves how they have suffered from dust, thirst, heat and hunger, and all will remember the 103 days wo spent here. Nevertheless I do think and know that most of the boys will have some recollections of this big camp, for in our three months'stay|liore we have had some varied experiences— experiences that have caused many a hearty laugh, and, again, experiences that have taught the volunteers many a lesson they will never forget. It has at least taught most of the men how to be economical. On the 815.00 per month paid by the government, and the very small amount of rations served, with the cxhorbitant prices cliargod by the settlers, men bad to be so to live iu comfort. The sickness of our camp has been something awful, and tho citizens and pressof Chattanooga have taken the cudgel in their own hands and went fur the medical officers in charge. The proofs they hold are such as will make the citizens of this country hold up their hands iu holy horror when they learn tho whole truth. The neglect of the sick has been criminal. I, being an enlisted man, 1 have nothing further to say on this point, but those who have beon dis charged will, when they reach their homos, tell the people of their districts what they have seen in Chickamauga, and if tho people of this country won't make tho heads of some departments suffer then I am no judge of the Ameri can pooplo. There are a great number of the officers (commissioned) who have lost I lie respect of their men by their actions tho past few weeks by wiring to Wash ington to havo their regiments do gar rison duty in Cuba, telling tho authori ties that this was tho wish of the men. That is not so, for 90 por cent of tho volunteer anny that was in Chicka mauga park when poaco was declared want to be mustered out and don't want to do garrison duty in our new conquests under the present officials. The officers of the First Penn'a want to do as the men wish them and that is to go homo. No regiment was more anxious to go to tbo front and tried harder than the First Fonn'a, but now we think we should bo mustored out of the service. Should wo, however, be sent to do garrison duty, I think the First will give as good account of itself there as we did in camp. The privates of all the regiments have requested to be mustered out, but volun teer officors think tho privates are no better than tho mules of the regiment and should have no say; when, in fact, the privates are far superior human beings than tho political pots who command them. Our regiment was lucky in having good officers to command thorn and they havo no kick coming from that source or any other where their own officers are concerned, but I speak of other regiments here which have had trouble with their offi cers. There is no better officer in tho army then J. Lewis Good, our colonel. 110 lias been very kind to his tnon and did lots for the boys that no other colonel did. lie and Major Allen havo been like fathers to us more than officers. Major Allen Is today tho most popular officer In the army and lie can get uaoro from a body of mon in the lino of duty than any other who was hero. His associates havo been tho privatos, and when ho wanted a detail to work every man wanted to go with him. Our own captain, C. F. Hess, is the most popular man in the regiment and the company Dcufncas Cannot IXJ Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

FKEELAND, PA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 189 S. lately presented him with a sword, the finest in the camp. We break camp horc tonight, and march to Rossville, where wo load for Knoxville, and so much has been promis ed by Knoxvillo citizens that we think and hopeuur conditions will be improved. This camp lias been unhealthy, but I think if the proper sanitary regulations had boon looked after when we first came hero, and if the government had given us enough water to keep ourselves clean, things would have been different. If, as is rumored, they are going to have an investigation, it will not be very hard to place tho responsibility where it belongs in regard to the neglect of the men. This morning I went on a water wagop for water and the ride through Georgia, at least the part we went through, was very interesting. I was awakened at 4.15 to get ready for the trip and at 4.30 took my place on a wagon with four mules hitched to it and started for Box ton, seven miles from our camp. The driver was an old Georgian who had fought with Ilattory E, Georgia Light Artillery, during the Civil war, and ho entertained us with stories of the battle of Chickamauga and pointed out the various landmarks along the line and gavo us their histories. He also told us of tho "moonshiner" and some of his traits. lie himself was an old moonshiner, and, as he says himself: "You'ns thinks that to work the korn is a crime, but wo'uns here don't think so, and we'uns will always do it so long as korn grows." Moonshine whiskey is worso than "polinky." I heard a soldier who drank it say lie would rather drink molten lead than touch moonshine again, as It would go down easier and do about as much good. Tho moonshine drunk is very sickening from what I have seen of it down here, and the boys do not take kindly to It when they set out to accu mulate a jag. The pooplo of this region will bo very sorry to see us leave. We havo left a great deal of money here and they will never again have the same chances they had. They have at all times treated us very nicely and we found that Southern hospitality is something more than moro formality. When we leave here tonight wo will bo tho last of tho volunteer Infantry to go from the park. No one will bo left but the cavalry (Grigsby's cowboys). Maybe they were not mud when peace was declared. They clamored and tried hard to get a chance to light anil now they are demanding as loudly to be mustered out. I myself want to be inusterod out and so does every man in our rogimont. We don't want to spend two yenrs in the army doing nothing more valorous than cleaning up Spanish filth. 1 shall writo again to you of our trip to Kuoxville and compare camps for the pooplo. I read with a great deal of satisfaction in the TnilittKK of John McKlnley and the part ho took in the battle of San tiago. I almost onvy him his place, for he Is a hero of tho war while I am only a hero of 103 Chlckamauga dress parades and seven sham battles, lint it is a pleasure to mo to know that an old school-mato of mine was whore I tried to get and failed. Uovornor Hastings was hero last week and sent home tho sick and convalescent from our state. Hoping to soon see you all again, I am, Yours Respectfully, C. F. Hagonoy, Company A, First Penn'a Inftry.
