IS Lieutenant Flagg, of Company l.
who is also at home suffering, with the
| fever.
THE MEN WELL TREATED.
The troops have no reason to complain
| Of the treatment they have received at
| the hands of their superiors during the
! past four months, and, indeed. talk with
| any OF them will convince one that they
are devoted TO the men who COMMAND
Them While there Is a distance most
| pronounced between an enlisted man ana
an officer the latter have not tired 10
widen the same, but have in many cases
associated with members Of their COM
pany on equal social terms when outside
| the line Of military duty.
| Colonel Nalle has made commanding
officer whom not only the regiment should

! finer officer. While strictly military, ne
! is also kind and courteous to the men
under him. and they have come 10 hold

| The paymaster will probably be here
! to-morrow, and the boys are rejoicing al

of money.
