A Coop IDEA-We learn that allithe
able bodied troops stationed in cities and
towns remote from the battle field, will be
removed to the front, and their places filed
with detachments from the exempt and in
valid corps We think thisis good move.
When the Admins tration is in pressing
need OF troops, why should sornany able
bodied men bo stationed at prisons to do
guard duty when their places can be filed
by men who are not TT for active service -
Here in Wheeling we have q large number
of troops doing guard duty who might prove
of some service to Gen. Sigel ifhe had them
nearer the front. In many places, the aids,
clerks and Provost Marshals are invalds,
men every way qualified to discharge the
