Regiments. company drills being held
both in the morning and evening.

A SERGEANT ILL.
Sergeant. Sam b. Frischkorn, Of Com
pany NJ. OF the Fourth Regiment has
been granted a furloueh for ten days
until the necessary papers can be pro-
cured for his discharge on account or
physical disability. Those who are per-
sonally acquainted with Mr.. Frischkorn
will remember that but few weeks
ago he left his bed after a long spell
OF innammatory rheumatism. Being
anxious to go with the old Blues he
volunteered and tried hard TO do his
duty. The long drills proved too much
for him, however and being unable TO
secure a detail to lighter duty without
being reduced to ranks, he had to apply
for his discharge, especially since he was
threatened with another spell of Illness.
HOSPITAL CORPS
A great deal OF dissatisfaction is being
expressed by the medical officers OF the
several regiments over the organization
L. al
each regiment had It's hospital stan, but
General Maus has organized a division
rospltal. TO which the several regimental
surgeons have been detailed with Junior
officers placed above them as heads OF
departments The regimental surgeons
are displeased that their seniority has
been disregarded.
Most of the sick men are now taken 70
tbe division hospital. which leaves very
little for the regimental hospitals TO DO.
ON the other hard IL must be recognized
as "A great benefit that an effort is being
made to organize an efficient hospita'

NORTH STATE CANTEEN.
The North Carolina soldiers have es-
| tabnshed a canteen where beer and soft
drinks are sold. The net profits 90 into

ment
Col. Baker being opposed to the estab-
| listing Of a cantcen for Virginia the sol

used In part 10 improve the Dill or rare
/ Orders have been issued 10 thoroughly

his gun and then snapped his fingers.
NEW JERsEYITE KILLED.
The sentlnels are provided with ball
cartridges and It Is therefore bad policy
TO disobey their orders which are pro
vided by the articles Of war. Proof of
rnis fact was furnished last eSenlnl
when a soldier from the New Jerse,
regiment was trying 10 pass line patroli:
by soldier pom the Illinois regiment.
The latter told the Illinois man 10 halt
J but he declined to do so. and the sentinel
therefore fired killing the man instantly
