CAMP BARRETT, PLACERvILLE, June
L, 1695.-The Signal Corps, which left
Sacramento last Saturday morning early,
arrived at the race course near Placer
vile at P. NJ. that day, which is a
distance of fifty miles, and found the
camp and smoking supper ready. (which
put the weary troopers i'll good humor
Corporals Atwater and McCracken were
the advance guard and had everything III
readiness.
Like good Christians the boys rested
Sunday and went TO church. no work be-
ing done except to mount guard and at
tend to the necessary camp work. Mon
day morning the heliOgraph work was
commenced, there being many elevated
points from which to signal.
The indications point to its being the
most successful camp that this enterprise
ing corps has yet etundertaken. and Lieuten-
ant Martin intends TO send detachment
some forty miles east toward the summit
OF the Sierra for long distance work.
The men amuSe themselves in Oft hours
by racing on the track and the usual
camp games.
The camp was visited on Sunday by a
large number of people to whom such a
! scene was entirely new. Sergeants Mar
tin and Black are the cooks for Monday,
which means that the boys must have the
digestive powers of ostriches. Flint and
Cosby are well matched in the races,
coming in neck and neck in one of tie
| trials.

camp is named in honor of Adjutant-
General Barrett, and while the troops are

1t is a habit to say that man with
money Is never convicted of crime, but
this is certainly not true in the State OF
New York. The report of Warden Hayes
OF the Kings County Penitenuary shows
that there are former bank officials to the
number OF sixty hit in that prison. and
it is SAID that there are $40 eX-Uankers in
the Federal prisons of New York. OF the
sixty-eight in the Kings County Peniten-
tiary seven were formerly Presidents of
national banks. twelve were cashiers OF
national banks when arrested, and forty
nine were trusted clerks or telIers IN
banks OF the same class. This does not
look like Uncle Sam could be trited with
without serious consequences following
in the wake Of rasCality, and it Will no
doubt comfort the poor fellow who is
serving time for some breach OF the coun-
try's law to know that the national banker
cannot escape the same boarding hous g
