Chronicle, paragraph to the effect that
Capt. Charles w. Bowers, Of the 9th Reg't,

stealing Of tobbing soldiers. We learn from
Gen. Mott that the charge is utterly unfounds
ed Capt. Bowers has served on the staff Of
Gen. Mott, and is an officer of high reputaS
tion., The story of his arrest originated
thus: Capt. B. had two men arrested on sus-
picon Of robbing soldiers of the 35th N. j.,
and sent them to Col Cladek for examina.
ton. COL O. could not discover that the
watches and other property found upon the
men were taken from any of the soldiers Of
his regiment, and therefore discharged them-
These scamps went to Washington, and tried
to have Capt Bowers arrested, but it amount
ed to nothing, he having done no more than
his duty.-7renton Gazette.
