nous conduct, by the lcniency shown them, eve

against them. Yesterday, Major Citlio, COM
mandant of the camp, sent down a special mes
,cngor, with a rcquisition for more force to keep
them in subsection, and today steps will be
taken to reduce them TO some Ill ght under
standing Of their duties as soldiers and as mem
They Lave not submitted to camp duty they
have gone out Of camp without permits, and
have ioragcd away the produce OF the orchards,
farm yards and hen-roo,ts, Of large part Of
