Military Punishment.

A writer in the Army and Navy Jour.
nal groups some very Interesting facts in
reference 10 the subject Of military punish
ments as practiccd in former times,
showing the baroarous severity employed
BY the nations of antiquity in the enforce
ment Of discipline and the maintenance OF
high soIdierly spirit in their military
organizations. The disci pline OF the an,
cient Asiatic nation. ia shown to be cruel
to the last degree the slightest offence in
the soldier being punished by torments,
which in this day are scarcely visited up
on the EXTREMIST offenders:
In the Roman army, before the time
Of Crassus, military punishment was also
very severe, but was still mercful as com
pared with that Of contemporary nations.
Scourging among the Romans was the
commonest punishment, but Romans
scourging was much less severe than the
Austrian or Russian. The higher officers
had power to whip with rods, the ceutur-
ians with vine sticks. If a soldier caugh:
and held a centurian's vine he was degrad-
ed or cashiered it he broke it he was put
10 death. The Roman allies were whipped
with hirches, ga refractory school boys
u.ed to be chastised
Disobsaieuce Of orders involved the
penalty Of death at the will ofthe general,
ard desertion WAS punished first by whip
ping and subsequently by sale into the
lowest grade Of slavery. 1t was very com
mo 80 to feed the troops who behaved
badly ~ any way. with barley instead of

The Government Defalcation at Detroit.


For some days rumors Of heavy defal>
cation by a government officer at Detroit
have been aioat. The guilty party ap-
pears 10 be the internal revenue collector
there, who is reported to have appropria-

government. The Detroit Free Press Of
the l4th, gives an interesting speech OF
DUNCAN STEWART at the board Of trade in
that city accompanying resolutions de

out. Since gave notice en Saturday that

been told that the government agent in
this city would call upon me and make

am not to be bought. want none of
your money stolen from the peoples pock~

by making me partner in your base and
fraudulent transactions. I know that
there are men in the city who have been
cognizant Of Mr.. BerryS operations for
months past, and they have not condemn
ed them In a single Instance, but have used
their utmost endeavors to conceal them,
and prevent their coming before the pub
lie gaze. ltell you, gentlemen, this thing
shall not be hushcd up. 1t shall be open
ly and publicly discussed, aud though the
party may Go what it cal to screen him
and cover up bis crimes, they shall be talk

the guilty criminal cannot be brought to
punishment On account Of the influence Of
his party, at least the finger ofpubic scorn

laid down their lives for their country
