-Recruits-C0pt McArttur Officers of
Nine Months Observation-Disclosures.
AUGUSTA, Sept. %, 1862.
Editors Press The Supreme Court ad-
journed last Saturday, after session of five
weeks. The business before it was very eXpe-
ditiously dispatched. There were few impor-
tant eases to be tried, although some quite
long ones, such as fowage and town cases.
There was, also, one case of adultery, which
resulted in the conviction and sentence of the
man to three years imprisonment in the State
Prison, and of the woman to one year in the
same institution.
About three thousand men are now assem-
bled in Camp Keyes. Yesterday afternoon
religious services were conducted in the camp
by the Rev. w. A. p. Dillingham; assisted by
the Augusta Brass Band. The services were
very impressive, and the strictest attention
was given to the services by the troops, as well
as by large number of citizens who were also
present.
The number of sick soldiers in "Winthrop
Hospital" in this city, is small. They are un-
der the charge of DIR. Briggs, and under his
skiiul and attentive treatment are improving
as rapidly as could be expected. Two or three
cases of measles have appeared among the
nine months men, but by isolating them, it is
believed the disorder will not spread.
Quite large number of recruits for the old
regiments are in camp on TIE battery
grounds just south of the State House, and
are awaiting transportation. OF these about
two hundred and fifty are tor the sth Regiment,
who have been enlisted mainly by the indefat-
igable labors of the Colonel j. d. Rust
Capt. Macarthur, OF the Sth, arrived in town
Saturday. 1t will be remembered that honor
able mention was made by Gen. Benham of
this gallant officer for the part he performed in
the reduction of Fort Pulaski, and that he was

of the surrendered fort. When Capt. Near
thur goes il" somebody gets hurt.
