The cases Of sixteen soldiers charged with
Illegally registering were called, when II ap-
peared that the records Of the enlistments,
places Of residence, &C., had been trans
ferred with their regiment TO California.
The District Attorney said that under these
circumstances he was not inclined TO press
the prosecution, the more especially as he
believed that the soldiers were mere instru'
meuts In the hands OF others, and not the
parties really guilty. Besides this the sold
iers had already been punished by long
imprisonment in jail. He therefore entered
a Hois prosequi.

MISCELLANY.
kentuekians in the Confederate ARMY

The KaptucL;ans were a class by themselves.
They were generally large, Wei,ioiineut TO
bust fellows accustomed TO tne huul, anu eH-
pert marlsmen. You could always identify
them by a certain careless grace, and don't
tread-on-my-coat-tail sort OF air that is I'M
mistakable. When the Kentuckians first ar
rived. being without arms, it was proposed TO
give them muskets; but these were refused
The boys said they didn't know how to
shoot soeer tools, ard if they couldn't have
rifles they'd rather throw rocks" The reoi-
ment was probably one of the worse drilled at
Harper's Ferry, but the fault was entirely
their own. They could not see the use Of
discipline; and as for forcing one of them into
anything like soldierly bearing, why you
might as well have attempted TO harness
hurricane. An officer who visited their en-
campment, remarked to a little group that ne
regretted so fine looking afbody OF men were
not better drilled. "What's the good o. that"
said one of the BOYS ave come yere to wade
in anywhar, and when we see good shot
you may bet yopr life stranger, were gwiGe to
shoot" Look yere," continued the bee
eater, hyars our drill,' and taking out his
bowie-knife, be fastened it to a tree with the
edge of the blade outward. Then marching
of distance OF sixty or seventy yards. he
aimed ms oid-iashioned rifle and split a bullet
on the blade. " You see, stranger, if we amt
lnucn on sogenng, we are powerful good at
drawing bead" 1t is said, perhaps more
humorously than truthfully, that the Kentuc-
kians were requested to leave Maryland
Heights, because they were trenching on
State sovereignty, but that Col. Duncan re-
sorted to the novel eXpedient of leasing the
ground he wished to fight on from the own
er! As an instance OF the not uncommon
verdancy which existed, il is related that as a
picket guard were being detailed for duty, one
of the men stoutly protested against the an
rangement, saying Now, what's the use of
