ONE GRATIFYING FACT.
one Of the most gratifying things
10 ha ,lp f,lp &c h1 60
far it hasn't beer found necessary to
innict punishment on a single man Of
the regiment There was one session Of
a court martial to try three OF four
men who overstaycd their pass, but
as the seVcrost penalty was a fine Of
81, on one of them, it can be seen that
tho ofrenses were rot of a very serious
nature.
AS to the efficiency of the regiment,
the following Crngratulation from
Major Genrdl Butler. received last
evening, is ample testimony:

Army Corps.

with the report submitted covering the
practice march of the Third brigade 20

and the reGin entail commanders to the
details Of the march is especially notice
able. The blueprint sketch submitted by
