Eleven Men Desert From Hor MnJcst,'s
Fired Mt by the Watch-Ono Sailor

Eleven Msn, Desert From Hor Mnje't,'s
ship Jealous md E~acnPoooThoy are
Wounded.
No less than eleven cases of desertion
occurred yesterday from the British
ship Jealous, now lying in the Bay,
three of whom made their escape in
the forenoon, and eight last evening.
About six o'clock yesterday morning
one of tho stewards of the vessel and
threo seamen came ashore in n small
boat to buy provisions. The three men
wore left in charge Of the boat, while
the steward went to make the necessary
purchases ; but when he returned his
astouishment may be imagined at find
ing that the men had goue away. Of
course he had no control over the cir
eumstauces, but immediately returned
to the vessel and reported the matter TO
the Admiral. In the afternoon, about
7 o'clock, the Rear Admiral invited Mr..
Booker, the British Consul, and a num-
Der of gentlemen on board the Jealous
to take supper with himself and the
other officers of the vessel. Abou. an
hour after the party had arrived on
board, eight Of the men belonging to
the ship climbed s~tealthily over the
side of the vessel, and, With the usual
activity of Jack Tar, got into the small
boat in which the guests had been taken
on board. and which was left curclessly
in the water beside the vessel. With
this they Immediately put for the shore,
and succeeded 10 landing at the foot Of
Jackson street. When they had got off
about fifty yards from the vessel they
were seen by the watch, who fired Mt
them. A ball struck one Of the men
on the forehead, but glanced off lightly
without doing much injury, and the
wound is not considered dangerous.
The report OF the gun attracted tho
attention of all on board, and brought
the Rear Admiral and other officers on
deck. A boat was Immediately lowered
and men sent in pursuit, but without
avail. The desertsrs knew the punish.
ment which Was certain to await them
if captured, and distsuced their pur-
suers. After a short run the shasu was
given up ~ fruitloss, and the pursuers
returned 10 the ship. On arriving 1T
the wharf the deserving sailors imme-
diately separated, and ran in different
directions, and no trace Of their where :
abouts has yet been discorered.-San
Francisco Herald.

adoption, by Congress, of new army
regulations, AS prepared by the special
Board of Officers. In referring to the

500 unattached officers, of whom l56

cavalry and artillery regiments be of
fcered alike in regiuental and company
organizations, and be asks for cavalry
companies. He argues that it is unjust
that the reduction of the army should
fall exclusively upon the Infantry arm
of The service, and recommends that
after Congress has enacted necessary
laws, the President assemble Board
of dIsin'erested general officers, 10
whom shall be committed the whole
matter of reduction and reorganization.
He comments upon what be calls tie

hopes for legislation that will allow of

for troops instead of the President, and
advocates an increase of pay of soldiers.
He recommends that the forts covering

this shape: that it takes ten Yankees to whip
one Southerner or rebel, and supports the
assertion with the muster-out roll ofthe Con-
