by the Court of Inquiry.

After December 10th Sacramento will
have but two military companies, as on
that date Company a of the Second In
fantry Regiment will be mustered out.
Orders from the headquarters of the
COMMUNICATIVE Chief to this effect have
been received from the Adjutant- en-
erals office, and they likewise include
Company G Of the Third Infantry, San
Francisco.
These orders are in pursuance of
recommendations made by the recent Court
OF Inquiry which was convened to in
vestigate certain matters growing out of
the Fourth of July affair in this city,
when the military and the railroad
strikers came face 10 face at the depot in
this city and the soldiers failed to dis
lodge the latter.
On that occasion Company A of this
city declined to march against the mob
then in possession OF the railroad prop
erty i'll this city, although the mem bers
expressed a readiness to do any outside
duty that might be required OF them, and
did do valuable service IN guarding
trains on the road during the strike.
Inc San francisco company was con-
| demned for "deserting the column at the
! depot" although, like Company y, IL
atterward did good service.
CENsUREs MODIFIED.
| The Com misunderstanding takes occasion
| to compliment the court for the faithful
manner in which every requirement OF
the order calling it together had been
complied with.
! the proceedings, opinions and recon-
| mendations OF said court are approved.
with the following notifications:
| flrst-lhe censures of BIigadier- G. Gen-
| erai SAeeAan are excessive i'll comparison
! with those Imposed upon the other officers
| involved.
Second-The censures of Colonel Sulli-
van are excessive as compared with those
imposed upon the three general officers
| then Ill the field.
No recommendations are made with re-
safu 10 the three general officers aud the
one Colonel involved, and from the tenor
| Oh the report ana the evidence presented
| 1t Is evident that no Intentional wrong
was committed, and, barring the mis-
takes mentioned i'll the report, each of
these officers performed his duties with
colhinendable ability and promptmeSs.
II appears that the officers anG enlisted
men OF the guard, aside from the criti-
clsms mentioned III the report, are ell
| titled 10 great credit for their LOYALTY and
soldleriy beIriBg during their entire sery-
ice, anu thor operations, aside from the
/ detects designated III said report, would

CITIZEN soLDIERY.
The National Guard OF California. -
| says the Chief, has been
| severely criticised tor the failure 10 cap
| ture the depot at Sacramento \ careful
| examination OF the report will liz The
! responsibilities for that failure and also
place the guard as a military Organization
/ lHpariiaily before an Intelligent people.
! VINO VIII not expect men, whose daily
VucatlOnS are those of the ordinary citi-
zen, 10 equal the soldierly perfection ex-
! hlbIIod III the nitea States army, where
! oiiiCerS and men are devoted 10 that call
! ing alone. Nevertheless, when on DUTY.
every enlisted man ana every officer OF
the guard should emulate the discipline
and solulerly qualities insisted upon in
the regular army, and the nearer they
approach that standard of military per-
lection, The greater credit will Ue due
them. In the last war the citizen SOL
QIery and Tic professional soldier We're
soon blended as one army by the efforts
OF the former 10 equal or excel the latter
Peaceful American citizens have more
than once been transformed into reliable
soldiers at II moments notice."
