! BRUTAL ENCOUNTER BETWEEN TWO SOLDIERS.
This afternoon two soldiers Of the Vcter-
an Reserve Corps, stationed at Camp Nc
Clellan, Il. Morton, Co. f, and Timothy
Pynn, Co. II, being filled with whisky, sl.d
while passing up Perry street got into a
quarrel, and stopped in front of Forests
block to fight it out. They clcnchcd and
pitched through one of the large panes Of
glass in Mrs. Furguson's millinery store
but were separated by the provost guard
stationed there, and they passed on. Tie
guard Immediately gave notice of the fact
to Capt Ward, commandant at Camp Nc
Clcllan, who, fortunately, was at Col Grier' S
Office at the time. lie went in pursuit, and
as he was turning the corner of Fourth and
Perry, saw them fighting again i'll front Of
DR.. Church's, near the Pennsylvania House
lie hast,ned to the spot and separated them,
but not until Flynn had drawn his knife
and inflicted a trightful cash across the right
side Of Morton's neck, almost cutting the
jugular artery. Capt. Ward was ON the
spot just in time to save Morton's life, and
that was all. They were arrested and COR
fined in the guard house. Such lawlcss
wretchcs arc disgrace to the military ser
vice, and civil life both, ana can best serve
their country in close confinement

Stone, who has the records at his tongue $

General Baker, a gentleman who has not

the average of other counties. The position
is odd. We feel in duty bound to believe
the words Of the Governor and the General
in preference to those of the Gazette. They
do not rctract an iota from the position first
taken, and if called upon to make speech
some day this week, as he is very liable to

guage and prove it from the book. Unless
he can do this he should rctract every word

feel inclined to accept the invitation of some

hearty fcllows-who are Willing away their

the machinery for correcting the enrolment,
into operation as fast as possible. In order
to expedite this work and at the same time

his assistants in each district to appoint a
sufficient number Of enrolling officers when
practicable SO that there may be one for each
sub-district, which comprises single town
