On the Sound and In Washington.

The regiment passed an uneventful night
on the Sound and reached Jersey City at
7.15 Sunday morning. An exchange says
the soldiers realized what Uncle Sans pro-
lection means when it was learned that
cruiser had conveyed the regiment all
night. This boat joined at short dis
tance from New London and frequently
flashed big search light on the Lawrence

ment was unknown to the regiment except
the guards.
The Pennsylvania railroad had three
trains waiting at Jersey City wharf and
the men transferred. There was seat
for each private and Pullman car on each
train for the officers. Many Vermonters
met the boat including Senator Proctor.
The Vermonters reached Washington at
5 P. NJ. Sunday, and after stop Of 10
minutes started for Chattanooga.

TWO IMPORTANT ORDERS.

WASHINGTON. July 29.-Two orders
have been issued by the War Department
which are of importance to the sick and
wounded troops and their friends. One
authorizes men who have been furloughed
from hospitals to report to the nearest
government officer instead of being COM
PEELED to report to the hospital from
which they were furloughed. This will
allow the soldiers to be transported from
the nearest post TO their regiments at the
expense of the government
Another order allows a man furloughed
who has not been paid on account of his
regiment being away in Cuba, to go 10
the nearest Quartermaster and obtain
from him transportation to his home. the
cost will be charged against him through
the pay department of the army.
These two orders will allow soldiers on
furlough to go home and return without
the difficulties they have experienced
heretofore.
