importance to deserve an expression ol their admira
tion and thanks.
The highest ambition of a soldier is to deserve the
approbation of Iris countrymen. The expression of
lie#! history. That pride of opinion which in thou- j that approbation, especially when accompanied by
sands of case# prevents well meaning men from
bandpning their political associate* or voting against
an unworthy party candidate, has done more inju
ry to the cause of republicanism than every other
enemy it has. Some vile contrivance flings a man
before the people, perhaps the secret Workings of a
combination of various little conflicting interests
uniting to overthrow some distinguished public man,
results in the nomination of an individual objection-
able to many of his associates. They see in him a
thousand faults, he is obnoxious lo various charges.
Ilia reliance may be on the democracy in gen
eral, who prido thcmselve-on personal equality, and
yet the candidate thus palmed upon them may atilt
himself on a kind of scrub aristocracy, and look
down With a most contemptuous unbelief of any
•uch equality. What is to bo done ? The real de
mocracy arc supposed to bo fettered lo the car, and
the man, though wronged and outraged in all his
feelings, is hunted like k felon, who dares vindicate
the real doctrines of his parly by discountenancing
the aspirant who seems never to have underwood
them. There are men in every party >vlio regard
themselves aa a little better than Ihci? associates,
who feel that they were fashioned of finer clay, and
made by nature vessels of more honor, than others.

RIOT AND BLOODSHED IN THE ARMY.
SlKAMsntP McKlM, Sept. 4, 1846.
To the Editors of the Delta:
Gentlemen—During tho afternoon of tins
31st ult., five companies of one of the Geor
gia regiments, went on board of n steamboat,
(name not given,) to be carried up to Camar
go. Two of these companies had been at
variance several days—and being brought so
close together, quarrels ensued, and words
soon led to blowH, and in a short time a gen
eral riot was raging on the upper deck.
Col. Baker, of the 4»h Regimen! of Illi
nois Volunteers, encatu .ml about half a mile
from the boat, determined tu tender his ser
vices lo quell the riot. About sunset lie or
dered out Companies A and G for that pur
pose—the former cnmm.indcd by C.ipt. Rob-
ert*, of Springfield, ill., nnd the lalter by
Capt. Jones, of Tnxewell county. While
the companies were forming, a funeral escort,
belonging to Company C, cornrtianded by
Captaiu Pugh, were returning from the gravr.
Colonel Baker took the command ot this
small squad, and hurried to the boat. A%
he approached, thn Colonel of the Geor
gia Regiment asked hi* assistance in quel
ling lilts riot. Colonel Baker, at the head of
his 20 men, pressed upon the boat, and w;t*
at once attacked by the rioters, who were
driven back for awhile, the Colonel, with his
sword, defending himself bravely against the
bayonets of several for a few minutes; hut
lie fell as dead, having received a ball in the
bark part of tho neck. Capt. Post (Com
missary) and Sergeant Oglesby, with their
httle squad, fought over the body of their
Colonel bravely, the first two and six of the
privaies receiving wounds—two mortal. By
this time Capt. Roberts arrived with hi* com
pany. lie saw (lie situation of Col. Baker,
and his little baud overpowered, nod rushed
to their relief. Butin attempting to ascend
the stairs leading to the upper deck, he re
ceived a bayonet in his neck, it having passed
under the skin, from the side ol his neck to
the back, about three inches. Seeing it was
impossible to ascend (he stairs, so strongly
foitificd by die rioters. Capt. Roberts and
.1 ones' Companies retreated, carrying Col. B.
from tlie boat as dead. The Colonel soon re
vived.
The Illinois companies had no ball cartrid
ges up to this time. Lieut. Moon* and Maj.
Haiti# now arrived with the balance of thn
-Iill 'Regiment of Illinois Volunteers, with
ball cartridges; nnd the riot koihi ceasing
the Georgians were disarmed ami put under
strong gn.itd, and were under gtlitrd during
tlie night, and up tu the time ot tho departure
of the express
Col. Baker's wound was not considered
mottal, hut would require the most skilful
sttrgeiy. Capt. Roberts' wound was uni
side red mortal. Capt. Post was stabbed in
the breast—wound not mortal. The wounds
of the seven others of Company C, not given
in detail, but two of them were considered
mortally wounded.
On (lie morning nf the 1st inst., about 30
of the wouode I (some mortally) were laying
upon the boat and shore, and it was generally
believed that the dead (at least 6 or 10) had
thrown overboard. It is said the Col.
tb« whsel. Of tbtMsifbt persons only four
wero bsdly injured. Immediately in front of
the wheel, tnd almost between tto chimoeys,
sixteen other mss wero lying down, most of
them asleep, wbea tto explosioo took place.
This part of the toot was all demolished.—
Persons wero blown up into the air, tome of
them falling overboard aod others upon the
feroesstle. Two or throe who were in a for
ward state-room which was detached from
the boat by the explosioo fell from there into
the hold tnrotrgh the hatch-way!
How the accident occurred, or rather what
wes the immediate cause of n, is a inysteiy.
It ia aat*l that the boiler* had been cleaned
. out during ihe night, and no positive cause for
the explosion is given.

Juan for further orders. Col. (lay*.' With
about twenty five men from his regiment,
went into Camargo on the 26th, and commu
nicated with Gen. Taylor. It was under
stood at Camargo on the 27th that all the
Texan volunteers, except Col. Hays’s regi
ment, were disbanded or were to be. disband
ed, their term of enlistment being out or
bout expiring. Hays, it * wa# thought,
would come in for three months' more ser
vice.
The main army is at Camargo. but (here
arc Uoops at proirfinent points all along thn
Rio Gronde from the iiniiiih up. Considera
ble sickne** prevails and deaths are daily oc
curring among#! them.
On Jhe night of the 31st ult. a not broke
out among some volunteers, on m steamboat
lying at an encampment opposite Burita, in
which several persons are said to have been
killed, and others mortally wounded. The
particulars of this shameful affair, as we have
them, are these: On board the boat were
some three or four companies of Georgia
volunteers; of these there was one Irish
company, between which and some other
company a feud had existed lot several days.
The quarrel reached its Climax on the even
ing mentioned, and a terrible fight ensued.—
Shots were fired, and sword* mid bayonets
were used indiscriminately. In the affray
some, fifteen or twenty person* are reported
lo have been killed or mortally wounded,
and probably as many others were injured
mure or less. Resides the dead and wound
ed seen on board nnd on shore, it is Maid that
eight or ten were forced overboard, who eith
er drowned nr died of thuir wounds.
While the fight was going ou the Colonel
of ihe Georgia legirnent endeavored most
gallantly In quell it, interfering personally
and attacking the rioters with sword atld pis
tol. He shot down one man and wounded
several others. Finding that hn could not
succeed in putting nn end to the disturbance,
he called upon Col. Baker, of the 4th regi
ment of Illinois volunteer#, for assistance.—
Col. B. ordered companies A and G of h*# re
giment to assist iu quelling tlie fight, and
went in pers m, accompanied by about twenty
men, lo the boat. He immediately stepped
on board, ordered pence, and attempted to
uscfcnd the stairs. Hern im was attacked by
the rioters and had a desperate en,iffir.r. in
which he defended himself bravely for some
time against swords, bayonets and shot, but
wa# finally shot in the neck, the ball entering
behind and passing out through his cheek or
mouth Tlieuventy men who accompanied
Col. Baker to the bn.it belonged tn company
C. Of these eight men were wounded, six
with l»ayon**ts and two with balls. On the
arrival nf companies A and G, Capt. Robcit#,
of the former, ordered his men to charge on '
board, and Ird them a# far as tlie steps, where
he received a severe wound from a bayonet, j
which entered near the ehmildvr blade and 1
passed through hi# hack. The boat was so j
well defended that the Mhuoianns were forced !
to retreat, (hey It iving no eairidges wph them. I
