--Permit the to use your columns to expose an instance of the cruelty with which our sick soldiers are treated by those who are bound, by humanity and the obligations of their office to care for them. John T. Dukes, Co. G, 30th N. C. Reg't, Colonel Parker, is the man. He was brought to my notice on the morning of June 26th, when a sick camp was formed on the Williamsburg road; and since that time he has been lying wholly neglected in the left of an abandoned stable. On the moving of the camps to another point, he was ordered to walk, but could not, and is now dependent on cold charity. He is and old man, more fit for the quiet of his far off home than the excitement and danger of a military life, and I hope that this notice will catch the eye of his regimental Surgeon, or of some friend, who will see to his wants. Surely, ‘ "Man's inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn."
’ He can be found on inquiry at the yard of Long street's Quartermaster, on the left of the Williams burg road, foot of Fulton Hill.
A Fellow soldier.
