last night and this morning charging
the lst Georgia regiment with having
made an attack upon the North Caro-
lima regiment. An Investigation to-day

the report was the fact that several
drunken soldiers who CHANGED to pass
near the North Carolina camp yester-
day fired their pistols and the negroes
believed this TO be a challenge for a
fight. The officers CAV the report no
credenCe. however. and succeeded in
ouipting the colored soldiers suspicious

ton In the event Of any trouble. No
/ attack has been made by either the

death came to end the sufferings, which
at times had been intense.
