The Signal Corps.

from The Baltimore American, Aug. 16tt.
The order Of the War Department muster
ing out and honorably discharging the Com
missione1 officers and enlisted men Of the
Signal Corps has been duly promulgated and
Is now being carried out In the general re-
duction Of the military establishment the dis
baudnent Of this corps may escape public at
tention, but 1t Will be manilcstiy unjust to
ellcw It's members to resume the gurb aud the
yocations Of citizenship without some tribute
ment Of their special services. Theirs Is the
modest and InobtrnsiTe merit which springs
fom quiet devotion to duty, and patient con-
tinulnce In those more MISUNDERSTANDING
spheres OF action which are not apt to capti-
vatc the popular heart or WIN popular ap-
planse. Their position was either extremely
frksome or extremely dangerous. At one
time they would be posted upon some Gle.
vated point Of observation where they would
be compelled to remain month alter month on
the qui rtrr for waring and dipping signal
Hugs, and with no pleasant interchungcs with
the outer world to shake Oft the ireury mo-
notony OF their employment. At other times,
In following the armies In their active opera
tions they were obliged to assume such e5-
posed positions In the front Of battle rs to
make Them greater tayorites with the rebel
sharp-shooters, rs targets. than The color
hearers
How many Of these gallant fellows thus
slain now rcpose under Sonthern sDil VIC shall
never know They we're denied the privilege
Of tleis fellow soldiers of returning bullet for
bullet, and cxpiated by the loss ofan cnemy's
life the chances Of losing their own. It was
their business to communicate Intelligence Of
the progress OIL the strife to those in command,
needless of the risks they were each moment
cnconntering. And how immensely Important
on many occasions vas The knowledge they
conveyed. How often did the fatc OF the con.
test hinge upon the significant motions Of
those ilu!ss. They were the telcs1aphfc wircs
that l1asf1ed the tidiugs Of rcpnlse in one part
Of the line or triumph in another. They
| pointed where breach was to BE- repaired, or
where advantage was to be taken Of q sue
ccsstu1 manGuvre. In the van on the advance,
| upon the heels on retreat, wherever they could
le most usefully employed in transmitting
messages, their alplabctlc combinations could
be seen, mysterious and unintelligible to all
save the few Initiated. Such a faithful, intel
| liscnt aud Invaluable service Should not be
| forgotten. They deserve recognition quite as
much rs those Of other branches Of the serv-
| ice, and they have right to claim that the
need Of psaise shall not be withheld.

forward and determined, one way or the other,
before the commencement Of their tlrst session
