it is stated that one soldier was sho. dead and
another badly wounded, when the soldiers re-
tired for reinfOrcements.
During their absence the man who kept the
place removed his family and escaped. The
soldiers returned and set fire to his house, burn
ing it to the ground, after possessing themselves
of all the liquor, over which they h I'D carousal
An officer sent out by Gen. Andrews ON Sun
day to ascertain the facts, found very few com
mlssioned officers on the ground, and the men in
u very uproarous state. Most of the officers
were at the hotels in This city or had gone
home.
A house in which l6 tons of ammunition were
stored was razed to the ground during their
demonstration, but not an officer, it is stated,
endeavored to prevent, but rather encouraged
the men in their riotous doings.
Gen. Andrews has issued orders for the regI-
ments to draw and cook their own rations, and
taken other steps for the comfort of the soldiers
and the camp has now assumed an orderly APP
pearance.
Several transports have arrived to-day, and
the embarkaton of the remainder of Gen.
Banks expedition will probably be completed
during the week.
