Gent Fremont advised his going to WASH
ington City. The answer from Col. War
rem was, ''Go forward" so it is to be
hoped that they will obtain their new
clothes before winter sets in. Their arms
are expected. The hospital of the regi
ment is in good condition. The surgeon,
Dr. Cochran, seems to be doing all he
can to promote the comfort of the sick -
The health Of the men is good, only ten
being in the hospital, and two Of them are
there owing to injuries received at the heels
of refractory horses. Everything in the
premises is clean aud in order, and degree
of comfort prevails that we did not ex-
pect to find in camp hospital The DR..
has not yet, however, received full sup
ply of hospital stores, owing to the large
demand made upon the Government at
this time, and we hope that the Burling
ton ladies in their kindly attentions to our
soldiers, will not entirely overlook the
hospital.
On Saturday night we listened to the
weekly report of Company GA Capt.
Torrence's). The report was full of in
terest, and the captain gave every little
matter connected with the comfort of his
men all the attention that they could have
desired The manner in which he talked
with them, and the attention and respect
with which his advice was received, re-
minded us of a good, kind father, counsel
ing affectionate, obcdicnt children. Com

On Sunday we attended the morning
services of the regiment in a grove adj

The Boston papers furnish the follow
ing particulars of an awful tragedy at sea,
on board the barque Czarina, which re-
turned to that port a few days ago:
The barque is owned and commanded
by Mr.. John Dwyer, OF Boston, had been
on voyage to Cronstadt, and was on her
return to Boston when the murder took
place
The captain hired at Queenstown, on
his outward voyage, John Crotter, an
lrishman, as first mate. This man was
reprimanded by Capt. Dryer, on the 18th
of July last, for the bad condition of the
vessel. After that no more trouble of
consequence occurred until two days be-
fore the murder, when dispute took place
in the cabin, resulting In the throwing of
plate at the captain by Crotter, which
inflicted wound upon his head
On the night of July 3Oth, some time
during the "middle watch Crotter was
sent by a boy st the wheel to 20 down into
the captain cabin. 1t afterwards APP
pearcd that he had murdered the captain
with an axe as he was sleeping in his berth.
He then put on some of the captain IS
clothes and took his money, went on deck
again at 4 a. m, and murdered the second
mate, Mr.. Cammett, of Boston, probably
with the same weapon.
During the day, the crew, finding that
Crotter wos reckless and desperate muir.
derer. consulted together and agreed t.
kill him. Giving a pledge, each to each
