OLD 96. t From our Correspondet.t, PUEBLA, (Mex.) June 4, 1847. Mr. Editor :-It devolves upon me to < send to his relations and friends, the mourn- i ful intelligence of the death of William i Cobb, one of the "96 Boys." < He died at this place on the 2nd inst., of t a nervous fever, arising from great debility < and much exposure. It is the highest encomium that could he r passed upon the deceased, that as long as t be had been in the army, he had not a sin- I glo enemy to rejoice at his death. The 't whole company was overwhelmed with t sorrow at his loss. And, I fear that we t have not left, such another example of con rage, fortitude ant[ good behaviour as we t lost in him. When we were in danger of being at- i tacked, a few days ago, by a large force of t the enemy, like DeLoach. another who is t dead, he left the sick wagon, and though t in a state of utter exhaustiou, he formed c into the ranks of war, with an unfaulteriug resolution worthy of a true hero, and a no-. i ble man, as he always proved himself to I be in' the hour of difficulty and danger. - J.A. PUEBLA, (Mex.) June 4, 1847. Mr, Editor :-:It is my painful duty to announce to his relatives and friends, the death ofNathan DeLoach, which occurred I at this place, on the 1st inst., at 3 o'clock i in the morning. He died of a lingering and painful dis ease incident to this clinate, and the mode of life we are compelled to live, which he t bore with the fortitude of a man and a sol- t dier. As an officer of the company to which t he belonged, it is my pride and my plpa sure to say, that no soldier ever discharged t his duties with more promptness and more < fidelity than he did, or died more generally regretted by his commanding officers and s all his comrades in arms. I never knew t him to receive an order but what he eke- t cuted with alacrity, and without a mur- t mur-or complaint. It was my melancholy pleasure to per- t form ;,the last rites of sepulture over his< grave, and to mark the spot where his ash- I es areto repose in quiet and honor,- until t the. last day. No ono can bear such full, testimony to the heartfelt sympathy that I accompanied him to-his last home as my- i self, whose.lot it was to minle my regrets t with;hosof his other frierds and fellow soldiers over his tomb. .

Ooly a few days before r he died, on our march from Jalapa to this < place, the Mexicans made thoir appearance in considerable numbers, and skeleton as ho was, lie shouldered his musket, and took his position in our ratiks, exhibitingr an instance of courage and conduct anima ting to the coldest and weakest heart a-t tmongst us. J. A. *PUEBAa, (Mexico,) 4th June, 1847. To the Editor of the Hamburg Republican: mr. EDInon-A number of your paper was shown to me a few days ago at Julapa, 1 which, I am sorry to say, contained somec severe strictures upont the "Field Officers" of the Palmetto Rtegimnent. From the di rection of the blows, you have seen proper to send, I have no'optioni but to Consider them as aitted particularly at myself. t I catn conceive of no other than a good motive on your part for making the re- I marks alluded to, antd whether or not you are sustained in your views by the coin-( munity in which'you live, I feel it eqaally due to my own self respect, and from the r station in which I am placed at present, to I the peoplc of South Carolina, that [ should 4 not lbe condemned by a sinigle good man c without a fair hearihg.C You have copied an article ih the Re publican, signed -*Saluda," which you 4 suppose was written by atn officer of thec regiment. The first view I ever had of ( the piece was in print, though I had heardr that a young gentleman belonging to our corps, feeling a naturnal indignation at t your wanton and indiscriminate attacks t upon all the officers of the South Carolina I Volunteers, had written a reply to an arti- I cde published in your paper, which, if n-i notieed, he thought calculated to injures the officers and to mislead the public. l'ou must not be surprised if we heara from you occasionally though wve receiveo but't few newspapers from home. A!- Ia though a subscriber to four Sooth Carolina t papers myself, I have received only three numbers. since we left the State ; but it I has so happened, that in each of those numbers I have found something deroga-v tory to the Palmetto regiment. One wouldd infer that.tho State was in a bad humora for having furnished a qluota of men, or that the means she so handsomely voted them, 4 were given with regret. In order that my betinmtents may not be miscoceivedor misrepresentedin the least particular, 1 will make this farther prelim iary remark. I had occasion, at the city of Jalapa, to write a letter to the editor oft ~the Charleston Mercury, in reply to an ar tile signedl " Many Citizens," in which I alluded to "irresponsible scribblers." In my allusion, I had no reference to a regu lar constittuted press, or its patrons, but to a writer eunder the i-u ios &atutre of "Dan" ~ As far as cesm t of your I omlants said tain dred spir s the'4fiarges an 6 dg ons .you on davoj~roprofrar Lt he Palnmeg o Regiment might have beck bettered in te hief olliccrs ; 2nd, That.those ofhe eginont who are in a sutordijnatccoudi' ion. have :been shamefully neglected; and Id, Thai the public funds apprnpriated for heir lieuefit, have been grossly abuse4. To the 1st charge, I plead "Guiliy;" nd have but a word to say in justification f(my own course. As far as toy testimo ty goes, I concede to the two Cnctlcmen sou allow to possess the high ranks of Nos. and 2 in military consequence, the trto msition you have granted them ; and I do leclare to you, that so far from being dis satisfied with the grade you have been >leased to assign me, No. 3, 1 esteem it iot only beyond what I had a right to ox )ect, but a standard greatly abovg the one [should have fixed for myself. If I un lerstand the qualifications of a military :otnmandIer, they are, a sound and discrim eating judgment, to know exactly when o fight and when ta decline a fight; high :ourage and indomitable energy to' execute he purposes of the mind, impenetrable toolness, a clear eye, and prompt decision, n the hour of battle; and withal, a kind md. generous nature, which inspires all round hinm with confidence and zeal, en indles their sympathies, and administers o their wants. In these high attributes of he commander, I assure you, that in my tumble opinmon, there are more than two non in South Carolina who are vastly ny superiors. Not to mention others, 3en. Huger and Gen. McDulie have em uent claims on the public, both for their nilitary talents, and their military expe -ince. Of the younger men of the State, here are many who have more zeal, more nergy, and more capacity than I have, tad whose services might have been bro't ato requisition to much more advantage han my own. But to sum up all in a single :xpression, I plead "Guilty" to this charge, ad for my apology for accepting the com nand of the Volunteers of my State, refer you to the volunteers themnselves, whose ;cnerous confidence conferred upon me vithout any solicitations on my part, has aid me under a debt of gratitude which he short term of my life will not permit no to repay. When the war shall be end ;d, and- the few or us left, shall return to mr families and friends, it is ut fair, that ny comrades in arms, the real parties to he contract, be allowed to render the ver lict for or against me. For the present, i least, the dignity of the position I hap )en to occupy, and the honor of the regi neat should spare my case the intermed fling of impertinent volunteer jtrors, who tot themselves in judgmeat, nt to sub serve the ends ofjjustice, but to gratify-a nalignant disposition for the foolish vani y of being heard and talked of by the idle -aders of a few silly newspapers. To the 2nd charge, l plead "Not Guil. y," and offer in my defeuce the testimony or company officers, which has alrepdy teen sent home for publication.. It is true, hat there has been much sickness, much uftering, and manyd,eatbs amongst u.I elieve it is generally conceded thatytherg s more mortality, an army, to time of var, than in- anoth#4ro f iien6fthe ama-size. dIud besidae, it is well kInasi haL we etteed upon' ie present camd >ign in the beginning of a moet inclerietd pel l of wetther, a~t homse,.4thich'?lasteik it l.d;te inllj e="6 .

I am old enough to take as a natter of course; and the gallant spirits hat accompany me, knew that they were tot coming to a gilded tournanmnt, to tilt with pointless lancers, and to ii golden. pinions without incurring any of tharisks y which glory and fame are usually ace uired. They came like true soldiers to ut~er every deprivation without a murmur, o struggle, and if necessary, to die -ii de enditng the honor of our flag and the repu at ion of our State. But to clear myself entirely from all ap >earance of guilt under this charge, permit no to remark, that in thme army, there are it least five deparimients, as distinict from, aid as independent of, each. other as cir umstances will admit of. There .is 1st lie Armed service, anud the service of duty or those itn health, anid with arma in their monds; 2nd, the Pay department; 3d, the 30mnmissary's department for receiving ad issuing provisions ; 4th, the Quarter. naster.s depar:menit for the transporta ion of haggago, atmmunition, atnd stores if every description ; and 5th the Medical lepartmnent, which hus exclusive control >f the hospital, the sick and the wounded. 'o ench of these departments respectively, rxcpt the lst,theie is a chief head appoint d by the President of the United States. )ver each of the three departmnenl last amed, the Colonel of a regiment has a pecified and only a specified control ;, and herefore it is utterly impossible for him to se answerable for all the 'Wants of his meu. is his duty to require that rations he provided antd issued to his regiment ; that ialso be furnished with wvagons aind har es for t~ransportationI; atnd that its sick be upplied with such medicinoes anid medical id as the army can afford and the nature f the service allow. In these respects. 1 ave heard no complaint of this regiment. ot faring equally as well as any other ~oluteer corps in the service. For myself' catn say before God, that I have spared o pains or labor in attending, to its ants; and I believe .every officer .un er my command, from inclination as well s a setnse of duty, has 'given to the men 11I thte hutmane attention withis his pow To th3 3d charge n.i abusing the State lonationi, I make the samer plea. that I nado to the 2nd, and put in a cross charge if slander.
