The new military police, organized under
James NJ. Croft. as Chief of Police, went into
operation yesterday, and the police appeared
. in goodly numbers upon the streets. They
numbered about sixty soldiers detailed for po-
lice work, and their designating marks are q
side bayonet and red badge. A mace is adj

act in conjunction with them. Evil disposed
persons, robbers and thieves, will have TO look
sharp for the red badge, or they will reach the
Castle and court martial in short order.
