She has specially an American crew, all eastern men, and their detention much more irksome to them, for they are all sailors who have homes. I can fancy some people in and out of the profession, by a quiet fireside, saying those men ought to have been kept, they knew the law, etc. , war times. Let them come and try, and see what those fellows have gone through. And why should whole regiments turn their back on their enemies and march home ward at the expiration of a year, from the very heart of... an enemy's country, and this before their relief had even landed on the coast, and all this be natural and right, while a sailor, after three years, because the Department does not think of him, must be detained, provided you increase his pay one- fourth, the very thing he is the most indifferent about? When the Portsmouth leaves, we come next in seniority on the station. For myself, I conceive the Government can keep me and all officers as long as it pleases, but I do pray that I may be given a new crew ; which of course cannot be.
