Drummed Ont Of Camp.

Tuesday five priyates were drummed
Black for refusing to sign the United
States muster roll after passing the phys
ical examination.
They were deemed guilty of cowardice
and were all hooted out of the camp after
the buttons were cut from their uniforms,
their stripes removed and the decorations
ripped from their hats. Sergeant John
Hobson forgot to issue passes to two of
them and they are still skulking like
coyotes about the borders Of the camp.
They will probably have to walk to
their homes in Whitehall, n. Y, where
doubtless warm reception will be given
