METTO REGIhENT.-CAUSES OF GREAT MORTALITY, &c. No. 11. Constant inquiries are made, Mr. Edi for, as the causes of the great mortality in -fhe 'almetto Regimont. during its service in the Mexican war. Many reasons have -been assigned; but, for the most pnrt, they have little 'oundation it truth. It- is not difficult, indeed, to perceive a vein of per. sonal bad-reeling runtiig through expres sions of dpinion on this subject, since se ous charges of neglect and of groqs omis siots of duty have been preferred againust the chief officers of the Regiment. It has been seriously urged in the pub. lic journals, for instance, that the fund ap. propriated by the State Legislature to meet the swants of the Regiment, was squandered, or injudiciously applied: and - that, in consegnence, the soldiers suffered through a lack of clothing, &c. We con trovert both the premises and conclusion of this argumen. - We dony that the fund was wrongfully appropriated or squander ed. And if it had been, we deny that the regiment would have suffered for clothing in consequence. As to the use made of the fund, we ddet.m it unnecessary to add any thing to the very satisfactory report made last spring by an intelligent committee; appointed for the purpose, and which, we believe, was published in most of the .pa pers throughout the State. Indeed the high character of the gentleman, who had charge of the Fund, wou'd fully negative all presamptions of unfairness in its distri bution. That- every degree of diligence was oerted by those having control of the matter to procure the Uniforins. intended to be purchased by the fund, no one ac qualmted whh the facts in the case, will for a moment question. Against the casual ies of the sea, there is, we judge, no hu mai safeguard; -and.the aggressions or a'n enemy are not alwadysto-be avoided. The l asinestaftlhe onesn'delayed t ie uniforms .

Each company. moreover, had a'BDistric't fund (some companies as much ,P as two thousattd dollars)? -most of which, to our knowledge, was apjij'opriastedl to the purchase of clothing. More than this even: a Sutller was attached to the regiment, weil supplied with every article of clothing,. ~ necessary for the comfort of the soldier; ~ C and he generously extended the most un limited credit. With all these resottrces,. what hindered the troops fronm being wecll ~ clad? And were they not? Let facts-ar swer. When the regiment left Vera Cruz- < for the interior of the country. so bnturttiful was its supp~ly in clothittg, the soldiers were comtpelled to leave much behtittd, which they were unable to carry. Boxes or gotod, substantial clothes, belonging topiae -of the regiment, may now be found n the I, *ware-houses at Vera Cruz.. Matty, it is r tue, laid' aside their win:er gartmeuis, atnd purchased of the Sutler their sumtmer p clothing;. but they did it against thte earn--I es-t-entreaties of their officers anti frietnds. :?Y Another reason urged, for the mnortali- 0 tyoi the Regiment, is, the physic~al inabhil- t ity of many of the soldiers at the tiino of n -entering the service, to undergo the severi- e' ties and' hardships of te campaign.- 0 VWhile stationed at Puebla, a co'mmtitteu of si 'Tearned Doctors was appoited to inves- ce Stigate the causes of the' great loss ttf life ~ - in the regiment. After several davs of en-. -.quiry and- consultation, they handed in a ( - repott to the Surgeon G.eneral, in which 0 - .they stated'as~ a-chief cause, mshe reasone here assigned. . From *hat- source these di learned sons- of Ese'ulapius~ drew their-in- e formation on this point, 'we are unable to Ii divine. The sibpposed fact, however, ex-A - ~cited surprise and astonishment among the P~ - officers of the regitment, antd the Colonel,d upon advisement with thte commtanders of t 'comtpanies,derermined to learn the truth of ~ - the matter. H~e accordingly instituted an inquiry, and found thte conclusions of the commiitt'( to be altogethter erroneous inh point of ;uet.

On the contrary, i a stouter, nnd filer' body of men was n't q t be .found. iu:the whole army. Itwas 1 the remark.of every one who saw them; The, army officers Lhemselres, who mus- s tered the regiment into service were.struck i with the stalwart appearance of the men, < nd more than once wore heard to say, I LhCy never had seen a corps of more able- I bodied looking men enter into the military ;ervice. If he same remark was made re- t peatedly by officers and men during the t .ampaign. where a favorable opportuni- c .y was offered of comparing the soldiers of i hje regiment with those of other corps. 5 We believe we are able to account, in a ' iatisfuctory manner, for the distressing < 'nortality in the regiment, witho-ut recur- r *ence to statements so out of-the-way and inusual. We will pass over,- in proceed- c ng to this, tho exposure atid dissipation to ( wrhich the soldiers were subjected during t their stay near Charleston, though we are t mntisfied from the excess of liese, many t .onstitutions were gradually undermined t md eventually ruined. The first chief t :ause of the unustal number of deaths was r he existence. of the mumps and mtasles r imong the soldiers from the time they -eached Mobile (about Ist January) tip to a he capitulation of Vera Cruz (about 1st s April, IS.17), During this period these ( liseases went through the whole regiment, c tnd the inclemency of the weather, but noro especially the hardships encountered mn the voyage across the Gulph, renderod it hom unusually severe. Who that was on t oard the transport vessels in their pas- s age from Mobile to the Idfe of Lohos anti g lera Cruz, can ever forget the scenes of s iardship and suffering ie there witnessed! tJ Phey are beyond the powers of description. rhickly crowded betwiet (locks so as t carcoly to be able to stir, in a part of the 1 hip that had every appeodait of a loath- c ione dungeon. besimcared with filth, with- a out light, without air, and with an atmos. - -Ahere rendered actually hart and sickening h 'rom respiration, many po'r fellows lay a with the mnumps-or measles, intltahug in ut- ai nost wretchedness the foul and pestilen- A2 ial air. The cooking utensils aboard the r, ihips were, likewise, very indifl'erent, and E lumbers sullered from a want of healthful % Not. From these causes many recovered fi rom their sickness with constitutions se- c -iously impaired, and in sotne cases, new n1 liseases were contracted, which had uld - nately a fatal termination. But leaving he snips the regiment wyas not yet rid of , ts misfortunes. The intmps and measles si till raged with fury after the landing of it he troops was effected. While the men It ay around the sand hills of Vera Cruz luring the siege of the city, exposed to the eavy 'night dews and northers, these dii- a ases made dreadful inroads upon their d nanly frames. Some noble fellows were a aid in :he sod. Scarcely recovered from b he ravages thus committed in its ranks, e] he regiment was hurriedly pushed off on s, in expedition to Alvarado-a march as evero in its hardships. as it was fruitless a its consequences. This expedition may I e regarded as another chief cause of the a reatr -nrality in the regiment. Though ;c be - !notof long duration, the P d forwards fr - -t it . r - 54 sicar y vain am- a on -of taking possession of a smaHl insig- t ificant town! WVe shall never forget the orrors of that inglorious expedition. Its istory -is written in -the death-blood of ame of the best spirits int the Palmetto legiment.- Tongue cannot express, tnore en -describe the hardships it imposed. 1he powerful influencer- of heat,- hunger, tirst and fatigue a-dconspired-to pull down_ ie poor soldier. O'verpowered by ithese e sunk,by the wray-side in~ misery and espair, For miles-at a stremch' the path- v ray-was strewed- with pirostrate bodies, c overed w ih dust, bleeding at the feet,over rhelmed with heat-aind fatigue, and per-g iig from thirst. On pitching camp at t ight sometimes not more than -4 or 5 mecn >a company were present. The rest lini cred behiind, and camne up during the ours of the night. The11 effects of this march were soon felt frer the return of the regiment- to Vera ~ ~ruz. The sick list lengthened prodigious y; and in a few days, whent the line of - iarch was taken fair the interior, morea ian a hundred were thrown into the hos ital. Alas! few of them ever escapedl t -em its dismal walls! Arrived at Jala'ppa, the baleful effects e Ete march still continued to be felte A n ow sick list was opened, and it itncreased -tI uost appallingly. But here was a new iemy to contend against the inclemency h Sthe weather-the coldl nights anal heavy towers of rain. Passing from- the terra diente, or burnlng plains of Vera Cruz, to a region cornparati vely cold and damp, 'itll Ut tents, d'nd nmany writhouit blatnkets, 'orh thy hadl eith~er left them at Vera Cruz, h< thrown them away on~ahe march,) the ~ billy blasts of .the night air peneirated S eeply into their bodies, and worked dis- tI ise and death. Colds, chills, fevers, co es, and that fell destroyer in Mexico of r smericani soldiers-the Diarrhrea, multi' ied themselves in a fearful ratio. From. to 23rd A pril, (date of arrival at Jalapa,) ~ >7th May, (date of departure for Puebla) bout one hundred and-fifty were rendered ei nfit for service by sic uess. When the e sgtinent marched they were left behind in' ospital,- atnd-very few again rejoined thte '& ogiment: They found, poor follows, a lard and premature end. The regimnent reached P'uebla on' the - 5th May. 'rhe Jalapa sicktness continued rit b increased fury, and new diseases, also, made their appearance. Typhus Fever. rid Diarrhana became almost epidemics. Ej n a wveek 'or two,the hos'pital was literally ce ra mmed, A nd medical aid seemed 'to be C little pvait. Death followed almost very violent attack. The violence of, besediseases was greatly augmented by be superabundance of fruits and luxuries, We market afforded.

And ilie proportion of icknoss among the privates was very little reater than among the oflicers, as may be ecut from the Surgeon General's report for e quarter enyding June IS17. - These facts should- do away entirely, Viii the imressionthai the greater asirount f mortality in the Palmetto Regiment was aused by neglect on the part of offreers'iin dminisieirrg to- the comforts of ithe men.
