MILITARY NOTES.

1t is gratifying to be able to state that the dis
grace thrown upon the fair name and fame OF the
militia Of this city by the outrageous conduct OF
the Eleventh regiment at Prospect Park week
ago Is to be wiped out-at least go atoned for by
the action OF the State government that mutineers
will hereafter learn that the law reach q
mitiaman in service as well the regular soldier.
1t is stated on good authority that every man
found guilty by the courts already appointed
to try the mutneers will be sentenced to not less
than two months imprisonment, with nne OF $3.50,
and that the officers will receive the fullest punish
ment the law prescribes. Alter this the regiment
will be dsbanded dishonorably. This is just the
way to 60 about 1t, and II is to be hoped not
one of the fellows engaged in the mutiny will es-
cape the penalty richly due him for his disgraceful
conduct In the meantime, while awaiting their
trial, though not in actual durance vile, the regi
ment under arrest nomnaliy. This OF itself is
important step before the trial, for by being de-
clared under arrest any attempt Of escape from
the jurisdiction OF the court martial will only
guarantee to every one who makes attempts addi-
tional and seyerer penalties than II he had not
tried to get away
The Ninth regiment will begin its wing drills
next week. The right wing will drill on Wednes-
day evening and the left on Friday evening. Com
pany has elected ex,Captain Leckler as its COM
mandant. Company has given it's second lieu
tenancy to ex-Captain MilIard. In Company
Second Lieutenant Muigan has been made nrst
tenant.
The Thirteenth regiment will 90 to Prospect
Park to-day for battalion and brigade drill.
