vile. We are lodged IN large
store building and now number
some 1z5.
1t was a novel experience to some
of us when, on arriving here, we
were furnished with large cotton
duct socks in shape of mattresses,
and required to fill some with beds:
also each with a tin plate and knife
tn at we are to have an eye to.
The boys are all in the best Of
spirits, in fact overboisterous; the
Lafayette boys are the life of the
camp, with Tom Behan, Henry Ju-
dice and Mike Hollander, alais
Schwartz, in the lead. Schwartz
did not pass the examin alton but
has remained unof6cially with the
battery and says he's a killer and
means to stay.
r. McCulloh, 1st Lieut.. f. N.
Pugh and the sergeants are all nice
gentlemen, and have the respect,
esteem and confidence of the bat
terry.
We have but one cloud to mar
the full measure of our content
ment, that is our disappointment
in not getting our gallant young sol
dier boy from Lafayette, Jerome
Mouton, tor and lieutenant. All
the boys from Donaldsonville as
we'll as from Lafayette, St. Martin
and Rayne were unanimous in the
choice.
We had meeting of the squad
commanders of whom there are
nine, Sunday evening and all were
present except one; all present were
unanimous for Jerome for and lieu
tenant, and committee of three
was appointed to wait on Capt. Nc
Culloch and inform him of the fact,
but TO our chagrin and regret, he
informed them that he was previous
ly pledged to Henry Fuqua of
Baton Rouge and that if we insisted
on electing Mouton he would resign
the command.
He afterwards had all the Iafay-
cite, Rayne and St. M artins boys
called into his office and stated that
he was so circumstauced that he
must insist on Fuqua's selection,
however painful the circumstances
made it ard asked the intention of
the boys. With Jerome for spokes-
man, we answered that we had
come to stay. Many of the Don
aldsonville boys, as well as those
that came in the squad from 1-afay~
were ready to break loose, but
were persuaded by Jerome and
others to stick.
Capt. Nc Culloch then thanked us
for our decision and after shake
Of hands all around, promised that
Jerome and the Lafayet cite boys
would be provided for.
We have crossed the cannon over,
and Yesterday celebrated the Fourth
by firing off few guns. The news
CT the destruction Of Cevera's fleet
and his capture was received by the
bows Yesterday afternoon with three
hurrahs and tiger for cold Glory.'
We expect the U. S. Army sur
geon and mastering officer rnomen~
tarily and the battery expects to
leave for Jackson Barracks in New
Orleans.
All the boys are in perfect, good
health and eat their hash and grits
with relish. The boys that passed
examination of the battery sergeant
have enrolled for two years, and
expect to be mustered into Tn Gle
Sans service for the same length
of time if not sooner discharged.

engage is attention long enough to keep
the report here several days 1 trust,
however, the navy department will have

The decision reached by the court Il
still matter Of surmisc. Perhaps some
significance may BE- attached and con
illusions drawn from remark made by
Admiral Sicard when he said 10 cor
respondent:
"Cage OF the Maine Is most peculiar
perhaps the most peculiar which eyci
occurred In tho history Of thu

From the general tone Of his 10
marks it might be inferred that the
court findings do not definitely soly'
the mystery Of the explosion. This 4

make an appeal to the combined hu'

common fairness to intervene In favor
Of Spain against what the Spaniaul
would deem the most monstrous iniqui'

II Is hoped that under such circum-
stances the United States will agree to

minds, a condition almost impossible 10
