PRIVATE MURPHY SHOT.
Accident in Company e, of Colonel
Gunder's Regiment.

Correspondence of the Journal.
CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga, Camp of
the One-hundred- and sixtieth Indiana Reg-
ment, July 1.-What might have been a
very serious accident occurred yesterday
afternoon. The first call for regimental
drill had been made, and it was nearly time
for the men to fall in.'' Private w. H.
Murphy, of Montpelier, Ind, a member of
Company E, stepped into his tent and
picked up his gun. He found it half cooked
and pulled the hammer entirely back, and
then pulled the trigger as they do in prac-
tice shooting. A report was heard and he
staggered backwards, but was caught by
Captain Brunn, who was standing within
five feet of the tent Fortunately, the muz-
zle of the gun was pointed down and the
cartridge went through the thick part of
his instep, coming out just in the rear of
the ball of the big toe. He was taken over
to the hospital at once, where the wound
was carefully dressed by Surgeon Buehler.
The wound is a clean one, and will heal as
rapidly as good nursing and good health
can make it. Had the young soldier been
out in his company street and had snapped
down the lock as it is ordinarily done, one
or two men might have been killed. The
street was full of men at the time of the
shooting. Captain Brunn ordered a thor
ough search for cartridges in the tents and
belongings of the men, but found nothing
When the company came in from drill he
ordered all pockets turned inside out, and
six cartridges were brought to light, and
later two others were handed in to the cap
tain. Where the cartridge came from that
did the mischief no one seems to know The
wounded man insists that some one put it
In his gun without his knowledge While
the regiment was at Camp Mount the. men
were ordered to turn in all guns and am
munitlon, but from the looks of the cart
ridges turned in they are some left from
that lot and have been Smuggled into camp
and kept, contrary to orders The affair is
unfortunate, for Company L will have out
of service for several weeks one of her re-
ice which now seems to be just in front of
the army. There is no need for alarm for
such cases are given the very best of at
tention, and at present writing he is get
ting along nicely.
There was a large and enthusiastic
prayer meeting held in the social tent last
evening, led by the chaplain. Mr. Fair
child, of the Christian Commission, made a
short and impressive talk. The tent is one
of the bright features of the regiment 1t
is crowded at all times when the men are
off duty.
Yesterday morning was entirely taken I'D
with matters pertaining TO pay day Early
after breakfast the entire regiment marched
out to the drill ground in heavy marching
order and was mustered. Later the men
signed the pay rolls, which required nearly
all of the forenoon. Some time tomorrow
morning the paymaster is expected. II will
require $S5 600 TO square accounts with the
regiment. OF this amount there will be $25.-

Chaplain Miller of the Eighth California Delivers Patri- otic Sermon at Camp
 Barrett

CAMP BARRETT, SATHER TRACT, July 31.-The text of Chaplain Miller's discourse at this mornings service was Psalms xx:5, 'In the name of God we lift up the banner" The sermon was an address to the flag. The colors of the regiment were brought into the open space in front of the coloners tent by the bearers, and the greater portion of the regiment surrounded the chaplain in the form of a hollow square. A choir of young men of the regiment was pres ent, and the regimental band played ac- compartments to the hymns. The at tendance was three times as large as last Sunday. In the evening services were held in the Christian Commission tent. which was crowded. During the services Edward D. Collins, president of the Cali fornia Bank, who has shown very deep interest in the Christian Commission work. made a brief address.
 The good moral atmosphere of Camp Barrett is amply demonstrated by the fact that out of about 1340 men only two are in the guardhouse.
