Lieut.. Col. BaInbrIdge's Case.

Lieut. cambridge, Third United
States artillery, who has been for some
time commandant at Fort McHenry,
Baltimore, Md, has been transferred
to the Washington barracks, relieving
Major Ramsey third United States
artillery, who has been placed in com
mand at Fort McHenry. This transfer
is considered a mild form of punish
ment for Col. cambridge, with whom
Gen. Howard is much dissatisfied be-
cause of his refusal to answer certain
communications sent from Gen. How
ards headquarters. Nearly year ago
the officers at Fort McHenry formed a
mess, to which was added some of the
features of club life. Col. cambridge
declined to join the mess, as he pre-
ferred TO get his meals elsewhere, but
finally consented to become member in
order to enjoy the club privileges, with
the understanding that he was to pay
his dues as a club member only. In
the course Of few weeks he was pre-
sented with mess bill and declined to
pay it. The officers complained to
Gen. Howard, who referred the papers
to Col. Bainbridge The Colonel
ignored them. Gen. Howard again
communicated with him, but still no
reply from: Col cambridge. Gen.
Howard then wrote to Gen. Schoheld,
asking that Col cambridge be dici-
plined by relieving him of his
command and giving him subordinate
duty under Col Livingston. This is
the second time Col. cambridge has
got into trouble, it is said, and for the
ame reason.
