count Of ourselves, We want ii to be
understood, however. that we are still
about and trying TO obey our superior
officers as best we eau, though sOmssOt

wiIled, and the consequence is the next
place they fnl themselves is in the
Guard House, which by the way, they

for drunkenness, we have comparatively
speaking, but few Of that class, and
they only get drunk when they can get
the whiskey. The boys will, once in
while, oyersiep the bounds of PtOpriety,
and will indulge little too much In the
use Of profone language. one Of the
causes that gives rise to this perhaps, is
that they unfortunately suffer them
selves to forget that the broad eyes of
Deity are constantly scanning their ev-
cry thought and every word. This IN
cautious state Of mind, is perhaps the
cause OF zine .tenths Of all eur crimes
We don't steal much; and, indie ed, l be-
lieve that it has never been decided yet,
whether the uppropriating of such things
as chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, pigs,
sheep, and CALVES, to the beue6t Of the
soldier, will properly come under the
head Of stealing. and especially if taken
