Thej would not have wasted it be urged Ihemen.oo the other h*nd, do not like ?be mess arrangements, and did not ?nt tbe mejor portion of the fund to eo to that de? partment, but thought hey could invest it as suited tbems-ives The Money That Was Returned The pruales and non coma lesioned offi.ers of the So i ter Light Jnfantrj were exactly right n objecting to the d strbutioa of tbe money seat thea bj t- e people of Sumter f8 pro.-osed oy the offi er?, t>nd the officers were either zcisi: formed i reference to the wishes of those who co tributed the mooej, or offi? ciously niagnifi d their own importance a d authority in (be premises The mooej was raised for the privates and non-coxm seioned officers, w tb the disti ct undemanding tbat it suoutd be distributed pro rata among the men. noa the letter tbat accompanied the cue k stated that tbe monej 'hould be pro rated ?moog them We have seen a letter from one of the non commioned officers to a friend in this citj. io which a clear and im? partial account of the whole m itter is g veo, and, as we understand it, tbe men did not re? fus the a oney nor d d tbej ha e any voice in deciding to return it The officers informed them that the money bad been received, read the letter accompany? ing tb- check, in which ii was stated that tbe money should be pro-rated, and s a ted tbat the officers had decided to give e-?ch man twenty cents r> casb, twenty cents wor?b of stamps and the remainder of the money woold be turned into the company zneisfund, to be used ns might be thought best.

A Word More About That Money Contributed for the Soldiers. The correspondent of the News and Courier in a letter dated July 2, says : The boys of Company Ul are not disposed to let the matter of the $105 sent from Sumter drop without tell j ing how they look at the sffair A committee has asked that the follow? ing be published : The company had heard that money was being raised in Sumter for their benefit, and understood from private sources that it was to be distributed among the boys pro rata When the company was lined up Sunday after? noon, and the subscription list read it distinctly said that such was to-be done. Next a letter was read from the committee to Capt Carson, stat ing the name as to the distribution. After that there was read a telegram to one of the lieutenants, from a c: ti zen of Sumter, not a member of the committee, stating that the company officers should distribute the money as they saw fit. The dieiribution they made was as follows : To each man, IO two cent stamps, 20 cents cash, the rest of the money to go to the company mess. The line was dismissed, and the boys turned away without a cheer, for they felt that the action of the offi cers was not in compliance with the wishes of the contributors There was much talking in groups, after this, and the dissatisfaction was so ?vident that later Captain Carson called the company together and stated that as they could not please the members of the company with the plan that seemed .be8t to them, they had decided to send it back to the committee and let them dispose of it at will The boys say distinctly that they fully appreciate the kindness shown by the people of Sumter on this occa? sion, as on ail others. They fully believe that Sumter thinks more of her company, and is more constantly interested in the welfare of their rep resentative8 than any other town 0 It is understood now that the mon ey will be sent for the beneFt of the sick, which pleases everyone, and they hope the sick will get the whole benefit Thia is in response to what has already been published on'the subject at home.
