car vouch for. Captains will be held
responsible for the conduct of their

One Of the officers of the Thirteenth
today received from home a copy o
Tuesdays Tribune with a pencil mari
around a paragraph commenting OF
General Gobin's aversion to pomposity
and mentioning how refreshing was hi:
conduct after a two months expert
ence with the goldtassel fellows" A
person at a distance might with ,
straining effort infer that the para
graph was meant to apply locally, bu
no such inference would be possibl,
here, where all that was said of Gen
eral Gobin's democracy would unre
servedly be applied to the former com
mander of the Third brigade and hi
staff. No ore here saw even the posi-
bility of misnterpreting the paragraph
until the marked paper was passe'
around and joked about. Admitting
the possibility of the article being mis-
construed, it might not be amiss tc sa.
direct that the former brigade officer
are not in the category that was in
cluded in 'gold-tassel fellows"
