SUBSTANTIAL AssIsTANoE.-We are indebted
to William Ames, Goth Conn. Vols, for substan-
tal assistance in the circulation of our paper in
camp, and hope that there are many more who,
like him, will be willing to devote a portion OF
their spare time to the noble cause in the interest
of which our paper is published.

interesting developments have been made re-
Gently, relative to system of bribery and sol
dierly infidelity among the guards on duty
around Deserters' Camp, which promise to be
quite interesting. 1t seems, from what we have
learned, that the guards have been bribed in a
number of instances, in some cases as high as a
hundred dollars being paid for permission to pass
the lines. Watches, jewelry, and smaller sums
of money have been offered and accepted, and it
is impossible to say at present who and how
many may be implicated in this fraudulent spec
ulation. 1t seems there has been a complete
system of operations, the manner of proceeding
being about as follows: An arrangement would
first be made with some person or accomplish in
Distribution Convalescent Camp, to secure
pass to Washington on fixed day. The deser
ter would then apply to the sentinel, and by dint
of heavy bride secure permission to !" run the
guard" his friend would furnish him with the
pass for a tayaiaeg consideration, and thus armed
he would proceed to Washington unmolested,
change his soldier for citizens attire after which
the road northward would of course be open to
him. Since the removal of the deserters to this
camp the same game was attempted but faith
full guard being post the bride was refused
and the applicant placed under arrest. Since
then instructions have been issued to the guard
to accept the bride and report the case immedi-
ately to the officers, the result of which has been
the contribution to the post fund of a considera-
BILE sum of money, number of watches, and a
valuable collection of jewelry. 1t is presum-
ed that, findingan application for freedom likely
to deprive them of their funds and surplus jew
elry, without securing their liberty, the deser-
ters will abandon this clandestine mode of doing
business and await the decision of the proper
boards instituted by regulations for the exami-
nation of their cases.

SWORD PRESENTATION. -Thenon-commission
ed officers and privates of the 151st Company,
First Battalion Invalid Corps, doing duty at
this camp. presented their commanding officer,
Capt. H G. Ullman, with very fine set of equip
ments, consisting of sword, sash and belt, on
Wednesday evening, the 18th ult. Captain Ull-
man was summoned from his quarters to queB
what was announced to him, by one OF his non-
commissioned officers, an infraction of regu-
lations among the men in the barrack. He hasti-
ly prepared himself to suppress what he suppos-
ed was melee and on entering the barrack was
confronted by the Adjutant of the Battalion,
Lieut. Lynch, who, in few pertinent remarks,
presented to him the elegant gift which the gen.
erous appreciation of his men had prepared for
him. Captain Ullman replied, briefly, thanking
the men for the substantial expression of their
regard, and promised them that he would en-
deavor to so use and preserve it that they should
never regret the confidence they had thus repos~
ed in him. This was most happy termination
of what might have resulted in the consignment
of some person to quarters in the guard-house,
had the proceedings been as the Captain had
reason to believe, disorderly and unmilitary.
A HERoINE.-Last week soldier arrived in
camp with squad from the North, whose ap-
pearance and manner excited the suspicion that
he belonged to the whose business should be to
stay at home and attend to domestic affairs, except
when regularly assigned to duty, rather than
the avocation of the soldier in active military
service. A day or two sufficed to establish in
fact what had been a suspicion, and when it was
| found that further concealment was impossible,
an unreserved confession was made, and the
would-be soldier proved to be the wife of one of
| the men with whom she had come into camp.
1t appears, that, finding she could not accompany
her husband to the field in her proper character
she assumed the garb of private soldier, Civ
ing fictitious name, and representing herself
member of the same company and regiment
as that to which her husband belonged. She sue
ceeded in running the gauntlet undiscovered
until her arrival at this camp, where, her
being disclosed, she was compelled to resume
her proper habit, and in accordance with exist
ing orders, return to civil life.

and ascertaining some facts relative to the pre-
sentation to him of a supurb silver set, composed
of pitcher two goblets and spoons, sugar bowl
and tray, comprising, together, one of the most
beautiful and costly presents we have ever seen.
The presentation ceremonies took place at Camp
Headquarters Tuesday evening, the 23d ult.,
Surgeon S. B. Hunt acting as spokesman, and is
described by those present as having been an
occasion of unusual pleasure and interest Hav-
ing been kept in profound ignorance of the spen-
did present that awaited him. Surgeon Vannort
supposed when ordered toreport at Headquarters
that it was for the purpose of attending to some
business in connection with his duties Sur
geon in charge of the camp, and his surprise at
being confronted by the former Medical Director,
who, in neat and appropriate speech, presented
the gift was only equalled by his pleasure at re-
ceving so beautiful, costly and substantial
token of the esteem and confidence of its doners
In accepting the gift he expressed his apprecia-
ton of the motives that had suggested it's pre-
sentation, and thanked the officers and men for
such substantial demonstration of their conf
dence and friendship. The tray bears the fol-
lowing inscription +" Presented to Surgeon A.
E. Vannort, by the officers and of Camp
Distribution, as testimonial of their sincere
gard. The set cost the snug sum of 1926.
1t will be remembered that Surgeon Vannort
Camp Distribution before the discontinuance of
Convalescent Camp, and his being assigned to
the charge of the entire Rendezvous of Distribu-
ton is striking proof of the high esteem in
which he is held by the executive medical
thorities of the Department. His quarters are
convincing evidence of his ingenuity, architec-
tural skill and indomitable perseverance, while
his studio reveals fund of valuable informa-
ton and scientific discovery truly remarkable
for man of his years and experience.
The NEW ENGLAND DIvIsIoN.-It is we'll
known that the New England Division of old
Convalescent Camp enjoyed a most enviable
reputation for neatness and general good discip-
line, and it is not surprising that where there
are such demonstrative evidences of good order,
there should be the no less ennobling character
istic of generosity. We take pleasure in trans
ferring to our columns the following flattering
acknowledgment of soldierly appreciation from
a late number of the Madison (Wis.) State Jour
n0J -
I" 1t seems thatou old friend and fellow towns
man, j. N. p. Bird, is great favorite with his
present command as he was with Co. L, 9TH Reg
iment when he was Lieutenant, some eighteen
months ago. Then he presented by the COM
pany with fine sword and sash and on We'd
nesday evening, Feb. Bird, the New England
Division of ConvalescentC Camp, numbering about
1000 men, presented Joe with massive gold
chain and splendid gold key, accompanied with
an appropriate address,"
SUBSTANTIAL AssIsTANCE.-We are indebted
to William Ames, Goth Conn., Vols, for substan-
tial assistance in the circulation of paper in
The Soldiers' journal. (Rendezvous of Distribution, Va.) 1864-1865, 1864-03-02

occupied by the Invalids duty at this post,
reveals most remarkable improvement in the
appearance of the camp. By grading and fill
ing, and the removing of the stumps and under
brush, the ground has been leveled and smoothed
so that one would scarcely recognize it the
camp of one month ago. The discipline of the
men well as the grand improvement in the
appearance of the camp, speaks well for the adj
ministrative ability of Maj. Johnson, who COM
mands the batallion and the officers under him.
We are pleased to learn that DR.. William
Robinson, formerly Surgeon in charge of the
detail department of Convalescent Camp, has
been assigned to the Invalid Camp as Surgeon
n-charge. His professional skill and friendly
courtesy secured the Doctor many warm friends
in this camp, and we have doubt but that he
will be successful in winning new and more SUBJ
stantial laurels in his field of labor.
Observation-Disclosures of the First Divi-
sion of camp, have been removed to the office
formerly occupied as Second Division DISPENSE
ry. Headquarters of Second Division have been
removed to the office formerly used as Invalid
Corps Headquarters. The offices formerly
cupied as First and Second Division Headquar-
ters are now occupied as Headquarters of Deser-
ters Camp. Surgeon Vannort, in charge of camp,
occupies the old Discharge office, camp Dis
pensary. Several other changes have occurred
in the location of clothing offices, etc,

PATENT WATER ELEVATORS. While pas
sing through Warren Market yesterday we
noticed for sale some Of Aidrich's Patent Wa
ter Elevators, manufactured by Messrs. Boyn-
ton g. Higgins. They are designed to take
the place of chain, suction, or force pumps for
wells for house use. They are SO simple in
construction that they can hardly get out of
repair; work easy; leave nothing in the water
to damage it; freeze less tLan any other pump;
draw with bucket that empties itself; leave
the well open TO air in the Summer and close
1t tight at pleasure. We would advise our
friends In the city and country, who desire
pure water, to examine this elevator before
purchasing anything now in use for taking
water from wells.
