Corporal Barton of Co A Reduced to the Ranks For Absence Without Leave.
 CAMP BRADLEY, Mantle, Aug 16.-A pe- culiar discovery was made last night. In going the guard rounds it was noticeable that there were an unusual number of sen- tries who belonged to Cos G and A. It was finally found out that many of the sen- tries gave their company as G and be- cause the reputation of these two com panies for efficiency in guard duty has gone through the camp and it was seldom necessary to ask many questions. This IS fiattering discovery for the both Cap tains. It is a fact that the Second regi- ment men are the most efficient. They received.compliments from all officers. Captain Wolff is A stickler on the neces- sity of the men appearing at drills and many of the boys who have failed to answer all roll calls will find their camp pay considerably reduced.
 The boys are all looking forward anxiously to Friday. Many of their best girls will be present, and they figure, es- pecially the recruits, on cutting quite a dash. Some are looking forward with anxiety however. fearing that they may be on the guard detail for that day and their sweethearts will be neglected.
 To show that their is no exaggeration Tn the reports of Private Lynch's antics, here is a scene which occurred last night: It was after taps and Lynch was haranguing his comrades, selecting his victims one by one and bringing out a roar of laughter at his expense. Lieutenant Colonel Burpee hearing the loud talk and noise stepped to the street and here is the conversation:
 "Where is this Lynch" asked the col onel.
 Lynch advanced and gave the counter. sign 1aughter)
 Where are your quarters!
 ''I have none. bound from one to the other like a man in a balloon. Have you a bed you could give a fellow within youi house?'
 "The boys will take care of you"
 70, yes, they send details looking fol me, when am missing"
 Have you no homer"
 "None, unless in the air. It is the safest place."
 Quartermaster Collins finally took charge of him and provided him with A bed out oi the street. As a consequence the boys en- joyed good sleep.
 Considerable rain fell last night, but thu weather to-day was clear. The Atlanta anchored of camp at noon and was board ed at o'clock by Governor Morris anC party.
