been received, and to ascertain the
reasons, the colonel sent for Lieut..
clipper, read him Gen. Small's die

swered that most of the mouey S3, 700

from officers. The colonel thought
d matter over, having persuaded
himself that Lieut.. Ftipper's trepida-
tlon ssWas the natural anxiety of a
young officer In possibly losing checks
10 such an amount. Lieut.. Flipper
was then asked to give the number
and amounts of each check. when he
confessed his inability to do this, as
ne hastily mailed them from his own
quarters, and neglected to make a
note 81 each one. He was reprimand-
60 Tor his gross carelessless, and told
that he would be relieved the next

noticed Lieut.. Flipper's horse com.

the post, and sent his adjutsnt to
overtake Llent. Fllpper. If Mr.. Flip,

could have crossed the line before

the colonel asked him where his cash
