Alger-Ths Regular Communication
From The Argus Correspondent.

Alger-The Regular Communication
From The Argus Correspondent.
The 9th regiment was in sham
battle yesterday on its return to Camp
Alger from its march to the Potomac.
1t was apparently an exciting affair,
Judging from the fact that one of the
boys of the Massachusetts, regiment
Jared disastrously. While Gen. Gar
retson's brigade was returning to
Camp Alger from the Potomac, the
9th Massachusetts was sent ahead to
select and defend position against
the 9th Illinois and Sth Ohio regi-
ments. The 9th Massachusetts was
promptly located near Dunn Loring
and assaulted. Col. Foster. Of the 9th
Illinois. who has had experience in
sham battles, warned his men not to
approach to close quarters. as blank
cartridges were to be used. Suisse
quent developments proved that his
caution was timely. 1t appears that
the officers of the Sth Ohio gave no
such warning. As the Illinois and
Ohio men approached the Massachu-
sets forces most of the soldiers be-
came excited. The 9th Illinois halted
at the danger line. The Orleans con-
tinued the assault, the men becoming
more excited as they forced the 9th
Massachusetts to give way, until
finally they passed beyond the con-
troll of their officers and entered into
a hand-to-hanl conflict. To defend
themselves against the excited Ohio
ans, the men of the Massachusetts
regiment were compelled to use their
guns as clubs, and the sham battle
became serious affair.

Shoots Private Reed In the Face.

One squad from the Ohio regiment
approached Hardy Reed, of the 9th
Massachusetts, who grounded his
rifle and threw up his hands in
token of surrender. The Ohio squad
pressed in around him, and one oft
men, who had lost all control of him
self, placed his rifle to his shoulder.
and with the muzzle close to the face
of Reed pulled the trigger. Reed was
seriously wounded. He will lose the
sight of one eye, and one ear was
partly torn from his head.

think we will leave about Monday or

There has been great disappoint-
ment in camp about our assistant
surgeon who was to get the appoint

but our friend Tanner appointed DR..
Whiteside against the wishes of Col.
ID. Jack Foster. Col. Foster is kicking.
but we don't think it will do any good.
We hope so though. One of our new
men had his hand hurt by man hit

the victim. twas accidental.
We expected some great things
would happen in our company in the
line of weddings, but we were all dis
appointed.
Murphy makes a good cook.
Will Howard johnson and Louis
Rosenfield were transferred to the
hospital and will each have horse
