A letter published in The New Orleans Plea
yune, dated Buena Vista, Aug. l6. says that Col
Paine of the North Carolina Regiment had rem
drred himself ST. unpopular with his Regiment,
that they were very insubordna,c and disposed to
revolt. They had refused to obey him and had
thrown stones at his tent, and that Col. Paine had
shot two Of them. ,..<s-,. zs.


We have information from Buena Eistt, dated
I7th August, partly confirming this unfortunate
news. ,-


Col Paine had been very rigorous in bis pun
ishments and had finally erected wooden horse
for his men TO ride. "a disgraceful punishment
known in the army This reused the indigna-
tion Of his own troops both officers and men and
brought down the sneers and jbes Of the Viginia
and Mississippi Regiments, encamped near by.
large party Of the Virginians and Mississippi
ans captured Col Paine's wooden horse and the
Col in attempting TO prevent it, called his men TO
arms but they refused, and he was hissed by the
whole crowd That night party was seen near
COL Paine's tent, who came out; and while they
were running off, he fred and killed Mr.. Brad
ley of Buncombe, attached to Co. a., and wound
cd a Virginian. That night Col. Paine was ar,
rested by Generals Wool and Cushing


What an unfortunate affair for our gallant R"gi-
ment vino have already suffered so muchl Col.
Paine, judging from all accounts, has been indis-
Greet in his severity, and not tempered his punish
men,s 10 the gallant spirit of his men. IL. -
