Fort Vancouver.


A few weeks since we described visit
to the garrison at Fort Vancouver. AT
that time We intended to add few re-
marks relating to the general appearance
of the troops stationed there, Ms well A.
noting some of the changes made IN
arms, ETC., with the changes in army
regulations since the close OF the Re
hellion. For some months after the
close of the war, the Government bounty
of three hundred dollars could be OBJ
taineH BY all who chose to enlist for
three years in the regular army, this
bounty was payable in three instnlImenis
of one hundred dollars each. The first,
on the first pay day after enlistment; the
second, at the end Of eighteen monlhs;
while the last was paid on the soldier
receiving his final discharge from the
service.
1t was then expected that for several
years an army OF at least 100000 men
would he required, to keep down guer'
rilla warfare, restore order, and prevent
mob law in the disaffected regions;
hence for some time after the wat, all
were enlisted who offered themselves.
and were able to pass the examining
surgeon.
In the vicinity Of our large cities were
tound large class of men, who followed
as profession bounty-jumping. En-
listing wherever they could obtain lurgr
bounties, avoiding field service If pos
sible, deserting at the first favorable op
portunity; and while in the service
shrking all regular duty and discipline;
taking but little pride in soldiers
honor o. soldiers name, and generally
refectlng but little credit upon either
This class found their occupation gone
at the end Of the war. The last bounty
they could get being obtained only by
enlIsting in the regular service. The
consequence was, that while many good
men enlisted in the regular army at the
close of the war, enough of these rem
dered worthless by the war, or naturally
eultus, enlisted, to give the service a
very bad name, weaken the bonds of
discipline, and make the army less eff
cient than it otherwise would have been.
Desertlon was frequent, and the irreg-
ularities of the service 80 great as to
require the closest attention of the most
experienced officers of the service.
The evil partially cured itself within
the first two or three years after the war,
by the discharge or desertion of most Of
this irregular class, while some settled
themselves down SO they became good
soldiers.
Since this time efforts have been made
to better the social and moral condition
of the soldiers, and to offer special in,
ducements OF such a nature that the
soldier would he stimulated to the most
faithful seryiee-would willingly submit
to the stri,test dicipline 50 that the
esprit de corps could be raised to the
highest attuinable rpvint. The gradual
reduction OF the army proved iavora-
bic time for Introducing their new III.

THE sUrRO TUNNEL.

The Virginia Enterprises, reasoning
on the ground of economy and avail
ability, thinks it probable that the
Sntro Tunnel will be utilized even be-
fore it reaches the present mining
operations on the Comstock. What is
the cause in this sudden change in the
Enterprise toward the Sutre Tunnel?
Less than two years ago that journal
emphatically declared that the tunnel
could be OF no possible benefit, present
or prospective, to mining operations on
the Comstock, and because the SILVER
STATE differed FROM its opinion of the
great enterprise it was stigmatized as
S1tro's subsidized sheet. The Gold
Hill News has also changed its opinion
of the great work, and occasionally
devotes an article to the benefits to be
derived from its completion. Is this to
be attributed to the rumor that Sharon
had purchased the tannel, or to the
fact that the owners of " the wood pile
and the crooked railroad were OPP
posed to its completion a short time
ago?

The Louisiana Commission were in
session at New Orleans, yesterday, for
three hours, with closed doors At one
O'Clock it was visited by delegation of
25 gentlemen, headed by Mr.. Black,
president of the Cotton Excbange, rep
resenting bankers, merchants and other
business men. The commission in
formed them that they found two gov
errors, two supreme courts, and an al
legged dual government in all depart
ments; but that in the acknowledge
ment of both parties there was only
one Legislature though it meets in two
halls. and that if the Legislature meet
in one body it will be State Legisla-
ture and while it is in session it will be
the only power in the State that can
secure the Intervention of the army, ii
the Federal Government is decided in
its withdrawal of the troops. Should
the public opinion of the state compel
its Legislature to meet as one body,
there are 80 Of the SO senator's, and 104
OF the 100 representatives., whose cleo
ton is not disputed BY either party and
the commission argued that when they
assembled as such the commission
should nave nothing whatever to say in
the premises. The delegation was not
favorably impressed with the sugges-
tons of the commission, but insisted
that Nichols should be recognized and
supported as the legal Governor Of the

TROOPS REMOVED.

At noon to-day the Federal troops
quartered in the State House at Column
bIa, South Carolina, were removed to
their old encampment ground by order
of the President. When this order
was issued, Chamberlain. who claims
to be Governor by virtue of having
possession of the State House and
being protected by the troops,
decided to issue an address TO
the citizens of South Carolina,
then pack his carpet bag and leave the
State forever. Since then he has
been induced to change his mind
aud retain possession of the
State House until elected by
civil process. AS the Courts of the
State have decided tina. Hampton is the
legal Governor II is not likely that
Chamberlain will be permitted to re-
tain possession of the Capitol any
great length of time. His followers
are poweress. ard his government,
which exists only in name, is not recog-
nized by the people, yet he retains
possession of the State House without
the ability to make even respectable
shadow of what he pfetends to be.
