Items Relating to the Gulf Department.
We clip the following interesting
items from the /" Home News" article
IN the True De1t0, Of the 9th:
DIsCHARGTNG SOLDIERS.
The War Department order for the
reduction Of the armies requires all
men in the Signal Corps to be inme-
diately mustered out whose terms
expire previous to September 30. In
accordance with this order. twenty
seven men were yesterday mustered
out by Capt. Eaton, Chief Signal
Officer Of the Department. In bid
ding them farewell, the Captain took
occasion to say that he did not think
an equal number of men could be
taken promiscuously from any corps
in the service whose record could
compare with theirs as gallant, we'll
behaved soldiers. They were a fine
looking SGT of men.
RESIGNED.
Capt W. G. Fuller, Superintend-
ent of Military Telegraphs, has re-
signed, and will be superseded by
Capt. Gross, now en- route for New
Orleans. lie is expected about the
18th inst.
DEPARTMENT CHANGE.
We learn, on excellent authority,
that another change in the Depart
ment Of the Gulf has taken place.
Mississippi, Alabama and Florida
have been added to Gen. Thomas
division, which leaves Gen. Candy
il command only Of that portion Of
Louisiana lying east of the Missis-
aippi river. 1t is further stated that
Gen. Candy will shortly take an i'm
portant command under Gen. Sheri-
dan on the Texas frontier.
A GOOD ORDER.
A recent War Department order
permits all soldiers who are honora-
bly, dismissed the service to retain
their knapsacks, canteens and hayer-
sacks.
THE SANITARY COMMISSION.
Orders received by DR.. Blake,
from the Central Board at Washing
ton, instruct him to close up the
business Of the Sanitary Commission
in this Department by the first Of
next month. This will be bad news
for the army, for there was not
time during the war when the serv-
ices Of the commission were more
needed than at this period. There
are more than 100000 troops in the
extreme South, all of whom are
dependent upon the Commission
Agents here, for the many little deli
cacies and comforts which the Gov
eminent does not provide, but which
are almost absolutely necessary in
TINS climate. during the summer
months especially, is the relief fur
nished by this agency Of great
benefit; and it seems hard that this
vast body Of men should be deprived
Of it when needed SO badly. The
Soldiers Home, which has proved 50
very beneficial to the army, will also,
we suppose, be given up, unless the
Commanding General takes it in
charge. We hope some measures
will be taken to keep it up.
