The ambulance system is the result of Napoleon's

of accident or injury What if they received ba II
or bayonet thrust-pan to be sure, for which
they cared ittle-but their surgeon could extract
it, and in a few weeks months they were well,
and 1t was distinction ever after. With etfac-
tive ambulance they would undertake any ma rch,
knowing that if over-fatigued there they would be
received, and not left on the road to be killed by
anv thieving camp-foower.

Every sick man requires three or four to carry
and attend him. He could prove that regiment s
had left the citv with a very large proportion con-
stitutonally debilitated and whom but little ex-
posure or over-fatigue would make sick man, re-

weakening the efficiency of the corps. A great
part of the mortality is caused by disease and not

SPEAKS quite P'aihiy On the SUBJECT;
FROM well ascertalned data, 1t is clear that GER
tain regimentai commlssaries are each dividing
with the quartermasters OF their respective regi-
ments, from four to seven hundred dollars per
week, whlch they giean manly from the war, In
the way OF short allowancIng them 1t is incredi-
bic that the Ehode Islanders eat less than others,
and therefore are satisfied on smaller allowances.
The only explanation is that they are honestly

other regiments, and some, TOO, from New YORK,

Rhode Island regiment as examples OF Whatever IS
commendaole In a sodlery, resulting from their
being oicered BY real and not mere fancy soldiers
and receiving all that, under the army regulations,
soldiers have a right to claim
The New York 9th that came on with such en-
thusiasm, and were so proudly welcomed here, is
to day well nigh wreck owing mainly to de-
fective commissariat. The New York I'd, it will
