I bhvious meaning of this remark, particularly with
the significant emphasis on the words “good"
and "not," or the plain inference necessarily re
sulting from it! via: lhat the “volunteers” in
the late campaign did not answer the expectations
formed of them, or the purposes for which they
were invited to the field : that ho considers
them and all such "not" “good troops,” and does
not wish such again ; and that, on the other hand,
he believes the “regulars” are "goad troops.”
Gen. Scott may thus covertly attempt to account
for his own imbecility, and the total inefficiency
of his measures in the late campaign; but ho
may rest qpured it will not serve his purpose.
Wo have heretofore, refrained from allusion to his
conduct and measures—from mingled feelings of
lingering respect and past confidence, mortifica
tion at the results, and regard for the pride and
character of the country, which cannot but be
wounded by the contemplation of such things—
hut, since he thus indiscreetly attempts to shelter
his own errors under broad and sweeping impu
tations against the great body of his troops, he
need not bo suprisod to find them as ready to
V incct and resist his unprovoked aggressions, ns
those of the savage foe.
While we shall not pretend to claim for the
Volunteers of the Right Wing of the Army, in
cluding those of Louisiana jrhd Georgia, any
superiority over the other Volunteers, wo shall
confine our remarks to that Wing, simply because
it alone came under our own cyo during the
campaign ; and the sweeping imputation of Gen.
Scott applies indiscriminately to all. So fur,
then, as that Wing is concerned, we defy him or
any one else to shcwlhat tho Volunteers were in
any respect inferior to his boasted ‘good troops’
the ‘regulars.’ What did those regulars do, that
tho Volunteers did not! Where were they more
effective, more prompt, more obedient, more or
derly, or more ready and willing! Or wherein
were they heller disciplined, or under stricter reg
ulations! We defy him or any one else to an
swer these questions to tho prejudice of the Vol
unteers. * For cool daring and determined intre
pidity, what troops could have excelled the Vol
unteers generally, at the battle of Olokllknlia,-
on tho 31 st March! Did the regulars? And
did not General Scott himgolf compliment the
soldicr-V.ka conduct of a portion of the Volun
teers, on that occasion, for reserving their fire as
they entered the hammock, in direct contradis
tinction to that of some of tho regulars, who did
not. It is well known that the regular officers
generally are little disposed to confidence in vol
unteers, and yet we know that the conduct of
the volunteers generally on that occasion, elicited
1 the warmest and most generous encomiums from
many; oil whom \vc hoard speak of it, or of
having spoken of it. For discipline, Gen. Scott
himself complimented in the very highest terms
a portion of the volunteers, and expressed as
tonishment at its perfection ; and, though wo do
Hot wish to discriminate, and know the merits of
that portion the more only because (of the In
fantry) it came most frequently under cut own
observation, we believe that hotter disciplined or
more efficient troops were never mastered into
the service, and that tho regular officers acquaint
ed with it will sustain us in tils opinion. Its
general order and regulations on tho march, were
several limes remarked in our hearing, in com
parison with the regulars ; while the looseness of
regulation on the part of the latter, was frequent
ly mentioned with surprise, and as a proof how
Imaginary was that horror of the “Army Regu
lations,” which induce!! some of the Volunteers
to return home, rather than muster under them.
For efficiency, as to health, hardship, and fatigue,
we believe tho Volunteers generally, decidedly
surpassed the regulars, and had always a much
less number sick, or carried in tho wagons. •
And*for general subordination and good order,
there was no compatison between the two.
Among tho Volunteers, not a single instance of
arrest or disorder occurred during the campaign,
or indeed, so fur as we know, even of inebriation.
While, on the oilier hand, we frequently saw reg
ulars drunk—one.of the regulars killed another
at Fort Diane; previous to tho march —and on
tho second night after -our return to that post,
such a disgraceful scene of violent, drunken con"
fusion was raised by the ‘regulars,’ exclusively,
as perhaps was never witnessed in a camp before.
Sometime after dark tho camp was fired cir from
the woods, across a deep hollow, and about 33;)
yards distant—as was at first supposed by the
Indians—and immediately the whole camp was
under arms. The firing continued at intervals
I for some time, till at length, finding that tho re
ports were almost entirely those of muskets,
which are scarcely over used by the Indians,
and hearing voices in that direction like those
of drunken men, it was concluded that this new
enemy must be composed of drunken stragglers
from the camp, and a guard was sent after Ifiom,
who found such to bo the fact. On the approach
of the guard, they violently defied them, fired on
them, and with violent and brutal oaths and ges
ticulations told them to come on, &c. &c.but
they were at length—all we believe except one
or two—surrounded and brought in. The next
morning, while on the way home, with Dr. Hot
t.vsn, of St. Marys, wo saw one of them lying
totally dead-drunk in the road, with a saddled
innd bridled horse standing near him—about a
■mile before we came to Micanopy: The number
of these drunken rebels —wo beg pardon, ‘good
|H troops’—was, we believe, about ton or twelve.
And these, forsooth, are Gen. Scott’s boasted
“ good troops f not Volunteers I J" What would
have been said of the bad tropps, Volunteers, if
0 I such violent, drunken outrages had occurred
among them!—what might not Gen. Scott have
said!
Now, who will deny, that knows the material
| ' of the‘regulars,’generally, that drunkenness and
excess, of some kind or other, will always break
out among them, as often as the means and op
portunity occur ! What intelligent, free-harn
American, with the innate pride and virtue to vo
luntarily abstain from excess or degradation, and
in a country abounding with the means of
wealth and distinction, even to tho most humble
and poor, would be a private soldier in tho Amer
ican Army! What is his hope, his stimulus,
his character, ambition—every thing that prompts
a man to patriotism or virtue, & to abstain from de
gradation—in such a situation ! To him, what
hope is courage or virtue—what material injury,
cowardice or vice ! And, beneath men thus sit
| uated, constituted, fettered, and cut off from the
ordinary stimulants of virtue or ambition, Gen.
Scott would rale and degrade the brave and gal
lant men, who voluntarily entered the war, at
the call of their country, under great personal
and pecuniary sacrifices, and pledged their lives
and services for their courage and duty, without
the least possible hope of any reward, save the
approbation of their fcllow-cil irons, and the con-
If
i sciousness of a generous and noble purpose—men,
’ possessed of property, influence, and character,
- at homo, and whoso honor, dearer to them than
i life, and the consciousness that any net of cowar
i dice or shame must have blasted all, forever,
would have stimulated and sustained them in
i any peril, privation, or duly. Among them, we
i noticed many, in the ranks, who have hold, or
, still hold, seats in our Legislature, and prominent
1 offices in tho State, civil and military—who car
; tied with them the high hopes of themselves, and
■ numerous relatives and friends, of earning new
■ honors and distinctions in a career of danger and
. privation, or were proud of the opportunity of
i giving this new pledge of faith and patriotism
F u P on t!ie a *lar of their country—and who woulj
. never have dared to face thoie relatives and
I friends, with the brand of disgrace upon their
. brows!—And these, are the bail troops, Yolun
leers, in the opinion of Gen. Seott, in compari
son with “good troops, (not Volun
lecrsj 1! Wo forbear to speak on this subject as
wo feel—as every relative and friend of those
bravo and generous ‘ Volunteers,’ must feci
every Georgian, Louisianian, South Carolinian,
Alabamian, or Southerner!—and are almost
ashamed that we have condescended to a vindi
tion of them, before such men, even against Gen.
Scott—against tho Commander-in- Chief of tho
Army 1

Foil THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE.
CASUALTr.
Wm. and H::\nr Hartford, sous of Mrs.
Elizabeth Hartford, of Harrisburg, were drowned
in tho Savannah River, on the Georgia side of
the Camphellton Ferry, on Thursday the, 19th
inst. They wont into the river to bathe, got
beyond their depth, and being no swimmers, soon
found a watery grave. It Appears they were
alone at the time of their going into tho river,
and yvere only observed by an individual on an
adjacent bank, whilst they were in the act of
sinking. He plunged into the river, and dived
several times after them, hut from tho rapidity of
tho.currcnt, his praiseworthy attempt was una
vailing.
Win. Hartford yvas about 12, and Homy, about 1
9 ycar.3 ot ago. Their bereaved mother, who is
j
an exemphuy widow, as soon as she hoard her ,
sons were drowned, ran, distractedly, to the river.
I saw her—and it would have called forth the
tondcrost sympathies of the soul, to have witness- 1
cd her distress. She wandered Up and down tho '
river hank, and cried, “Oh, no, they cannot bo
drowned—they arc only hiding from me, among
the bushes, and will soon come homo again.” 1
She would then relapse into apparent conscious
ness, and exclaim, “Poor William and Henry,
can’t come homo to-night—for they will have to
sleep in the water.”—This is a “plain, unvar
ni. bed” notice of a melancholy incident, which
made a deep impression on my mind—probably
deeper, from tho circumstance of its not having
attracted the eyes of tho multitude.
Mrs. Hartford, I understand, is barely able to
support herself. The loss of her sons, and of
their services, must necessarily render her situa
tion more destitute, and should, I think, peculi
arly recommend her to the kind, benevolent, and
charitable feelings which so conspicuously char
acterise the citizens of Augusta.
Extract of a letter from the Post Master at Col- )
limbus to the Post Master General :
Oottrirnus, Ga. Monday Evening. 2
May 10, 1830—At Dark. S
■ Sin, —Two drivers haVo this moment airived,
bringing the distressing intelligence that two sla- ;
ges containing five heavy leather mails, arcompan- r
ied by a guard of six men, and several passengers, ■
in iking in ail fourteen person, were attacked this
day about noon, 13 miles from this town, by a '
large body of Indians, and overpowered. Tho '
di Ivors left the stages, and have reached town.
They know nothing of the - guard or the passen
gers. I have cmhloyed fifty friendly Indians at an '
expense of *2OO to go out to-night and bring in
the mails. They will start immediately, arid by
morning wo shall know the fate of the (nails,
Very respectfully,
J. VAN NESS, P. M.
Teksnir, May 17—12 noon. s
Tho friendly Indians sent out last night, have I
this moment returned, and report that on their
arrival at the place where lire mails were left,
they discovered the stage in the road, and also c
the mail wagon, together with three dead men
and two dead horses. They state that they saw
in tho wagon three large mail bags untouched,
and a quantity of newspapers strewed on the
ground; that they commenced collecting the ’
newspapers, when an Ind'ati made his appear
ance near them, and on ascertaining who they |
were, plunged into a rano break near them, ,
where those friendly Indians suppose a largo
party of the ho-tile hand wore concealed, and
that they immediately fled. This statement em
braces their whole story.
Every thing here is in utter confusion —no ,
system —no organization—but perfect anarchy.
Two hundred men could keep the road open fiom
this to Montgomery, at least until troops are col- | ,
lected in the ~,’tion ; but at present all command |
and nono obey. It is to I’o regretted that there j
is not on the spot some distinguish?'! Military j j
officer of the General Government, to ass?mo the ( ( |
command and give force and efficiency to the I y
imperfect arrangements making to secure the
safety of the frontier; fur as to the properly in
the nation, that is all destroyed.
I regret exceedingly that it is not in my power
to give more detailed and coherent statements,
in reflation to affairs hero. I shall make every
effort to rescue the mails, hut I now entertain no b
hope of their being saved. a
Very rcsyeclfully,

any arrangement, so as to elicit sales of any a

Our Colton market has been very cairn for ‘
