broke his arm is getting along finely.
There are some dozen state prisoners at pre-
cent confined at Camp, arrested in the Wsst-
srn part Of the S,a'e BY Marshal Hoxie. They
say they have been we'll treated eincs their
arrest, but they are very anxious to know upon
what charge they are held. ss they are not
cognlzant Of having perpetrated any disl,ya
act. or uttered word which could be 90 corr

THE Bounty BusISkss.-Complaints
have come to US from the soldiers who hav.
enlisted in thi. county for the old rsginente
that they are required to undergo altogether
t. much cunloeution before they can get
county bounty. The case appears to be like
this: after they have been mustered into ser.
vice in. due form they feel that they are en-.
titled to the bounty and so they are. Bat the
committee requires that they shall present .
certificate to that effect signed by Capt. Hen
dershott. This is we'll enough too, but it fe
not d ways convenient for the Captain to At
tend to this business. which is aitog ether cut
Of his line. and which could j st ~ we'll be
done by his Adjatant Or any other Of the men
who have charge of HE business and who

matter, Capt. Il. does not perform the muster

presume. He is the musteriog otfiser to be

better than that Of the officer who actually
administers the oath. We have heard . good
