OF men reporting under the regulations of
the conscript law for assignment. This
was large duty and we'll executed. An
additional camp was also established
for some months under command Of
Major James Il. Dorman at Dublin.
Pulaski county, reporting directly to Col
onel Shields as commandment for the State.
The law was well executed in Vir-
ginia through the enrolling officers Of
counties and congressional districts. Not
solitary jar occurred between the au-
thorities of the State Governor Letcher.
and the Confederate authorities of Cen
eral John 5. Preston. chief of the Con-
federate Bureau Of Conscription, and the
commandant for the State. Shortly be-
fore the war ended the Confederate
Bureau was dispensed with, and General
James l. Kemper became the interme-
date officer between those OF the con-
script armies and the War Depart
ment This arrangement continued until
the end. in April, 1855.
A FINE SPECTACLE.
II should have been previously men,
toned that in December, 1861, Colonel
Shields at one time had eight batteries
ready for the field. and so reported Gen
eral Wnder authorized him TO move
them on a wide field under the tactics
practiced by the French army, designated
ASSOCiateQ Batteries, translated
from the French by Major Anderson, of
Fort Sumter memory.
This he did under the inspection and
review by President Davis. General
BraXton Bragg; General Randolph, Sec
rotary of War. and other officers of high
rank, firing by single batteries, then oy
four batteries and lastly by the entire
line of eight batteries of four guns in
each battery.
rl,a lot H. 4 IDo1t Of h
mold, who had served as lieutenant, as
well as captain, of the First Howitzers
was appointed surgeon in the early part
of 1862, and assigned to Camp Lee by re-
quest of Colonel Shields and remained
there till the close of the struggle in
1866, in charge of the entire medical de-
partment, where there were sometimes
not more than 500 men, and then, again,
there would be from TO- 900 20 1900. Camp
Lee was the post 1t which the parolled
and exchanged Confederate soldiers were
sent from northern prisons, and there
drew pay and clothing and subsistence
till they could be exchanged and return
ed TO their command in the field. From
that point also emanated all the exemp-
tons under law and all the details for
every service of men liable to military
services not only to army rolls. Lieuten-
ant James II. Binford, who had served
with Colonel Shields in the field. was adj
jutant of the conscript department, and
Major w. H. Fry was adjutant of the
post.
The late Captain w. J.. Riddck, of
Nansemond county, who had served on
the staff of a Louisiana brigadier before |
Norfolk was evacuated, was in charge |
Of the large department of exemption |
and details in the conscript service. The |
order and letter books Of that branch Of
the service were under the direction and |
care of Mr. John W. Bransford, who at |
this time is Treasurer Of the city of |
Lynchburg. or holds an important place |
in the government of that city.

A Good Word for Governor Russell.
(Charlotte (N. Cd Obseryer.)

(NHdIlotts w. VI ODSeiNerJ
Governor Russell and Adjutant-General
Cowles deserve commentator for the
generally non-pelitical character OF the
appointments OF officers of the two North
Carolina regiments of volunteers. An
apparently sincere desire 10 get good
men for the several positions has been
manifest, and the mistakes have been
remarkably few IL is true that this Is
not a political war, but politics and en-
vironment are factors which have to be
reckoned with in all cases OF appoint
ment by men themselves elected or ap-
pointed to positions by reason OF partisan
considerations. In the matter in question
the Governor has exhibited great breadth
and has seemed 10 be animated primarily
by desire to conserve the best interests
of the service. He has done worthlly
and well. and since we assume that all
appointments thus far have been agreed
upon between himself and the Ad1utant-
General. we desire to include both in this
expression OF appreciation.

PORTO RICO NEXT.

Washington, June 13.-No one supposes that the Puerto Rican army will be made up entirely of volunteers, and as General Shafter has taken to Cuba prac- ticaliy all the regulars it will be necessary for the move on Puerto Rico to be deferred at least until Santia- go has fallen and some of the regular troops now with that expedition can be withdrawn and combined with the detail of volunteers for the investment of San Juan.
 War Department preparations all point to one operation following upon another That this can be done speedily is not doubted
 The capture of Santiago is looked upon as likely to require very few days and after the city has fallen. comparative ly small force will be required, in CO., operation with the insurgents to take possession of the entire province.
 When that is done several regiments of regulars can be spared to lead the Puerto Rico forces. The same transports that are bearing the fifth army corps to San tiago will have to be used for the move ment against Puerto Rico, supplement- ed by additional ships that are ordered to Fernandina. There are seven of these.
 There is no disposition on the part of strength of enemy in Puerto Rico, in spite of the assurances of newspaper strategists that it is inconsequential.

BURIED WITH POMP
Few phOeniCidnS Have Re-
 Ceived Such HOnOrS
As Were Bestowed Yesterday Upon PaSquai Gonzales, inc Victim of an Officers Aim.

Pasqual Gonzalez, the victim of Off, cer Porterie's aim, was buried yester- day afternoon. The funeral took placa from the Catholic church at o'clock and Was in all respects the strangest ever seen in Phoenix, and one of the largest. Gonzalez had just come here, he was hardly known, and from what little was known about him he would have hardly been marked as a subject of extraordinary funeral hOnors. The demonstration could not be said to be due to his tragic death, for other men have died in Phoenix more tragically. Ii was not because he was a Mexican, for many a Mexican better known has been followed to the cemetery by a procession less than one-tenth as long. He had died a violent death conse- quent upon his alleged commission of an act of vagrancy. Yet his way to the grave was preceded by brass band and 200 Mexican citizens on foot. His body was carried in a hearse re- clining in an elaborately trimmed cof- fin covered over with the flag of tho Mexican republic, and probably 400 Mexican citizens in a procession three blocks long brought up the rear. All this demonstration could not be re- garded as a manifestation of indigna- jion against the officer who made the funeral necessary, for whatever indig- nation was felt had considerably plated since the day before and there was Q growing disposition to give Off, cer Porterie the benefit of an assump- ton that he had done as he thought for the best and believed that when he fred at Gonzalez that that was the only way he could relieve Policeman James Kay of a great peril.
 A few of Gonzalez's countrymen had, however. studiously cultivated sen timent which had at one time threat ened a general disturbance of the pub lie peace. The inquest in Gonzalez S case was not resumed yesterday morn ing, as had been intended, on account of getting the witnesses together at that time, but was continued until 10 o'clock this morning. It is likely that the interests of the accused officer will be looked after by Judge Joseph Camp bell.

LETTER LETS GO.
He Had Little More Wheat Than he
 Needed.

Chicago, June 13-AIl interest on the board of trade today centered in the do- ings of Jos. Letter and the results of his famous big deal in wheat. A tre- mendous slump in prices was generally attributed to immense sales for him.
 According to one authority, MT. Letter ordered all his trades closed out and it was stated that at least S,00O,OO0 bushels of wheat were liquidated in the Chicago market alone at the opening of the day s transactions. Breaks in prices were in the northwest, where it was said Letter had his big lines. Cash wheat in Du- luth went off 19 cents, and in Minneapolis 17 cents. Half an hour before the close Letters sales were placed as high as 10.- 000, ,555 bushels.
 MT. Letter was cIoseted with his father, L. z. Letter, and when pressed to tell whether the slump in the cereal had eff fected his interests frankly admitted that he had lost money. How much, he would not say. He had not time to go into details. Conferences were the order of the day. Letters wheat interests have been turned over to a board of trustees who will settle up the deal. This course was necessary on account of MT. Letters inability to put up the mar gins which were called for. Jos. Letter admitted that his father had withdrawn his support.

Mr.. Moser,s Clever Work

Mr.. James Henry Moser is well known
to the readers of The Times by his draw
ings made for this paper during the past
year, his portraits particularly having
attracted especial attention. Mr.. Moser
is a versatile artist. 1t has been said of
him that he spreads himself out too thin
However true this may be, he is first of
work in water color, in which field he
has acquired more than local reputa-
ton. Mr.. Moser brought with him last
week from the mountains of Virginia
some interesting studies made along the
James, Greenbriar and New Rivers One
that appeals especially by its boundless-
ness of fresh air and general GOODNESS is
an expansive view from a mountain top
in the upper James River Valley. In this
picture the artist has caught perfectly
the fleeing effect of sunshine and floating
mist after a Summer rain. Another study
bearing the novel and taking title,
Heavy. Heavy Hangs Over Your Head, .
is a glimpse of the narrow canyon of the
summit juts out through the dense mass
of foliage. This huge rock overhangs a
tiny farm house on the river bank far be-
low. a certain fidelity to local color and
a keen appreciation of what is paintable
mark these recent studies of Mr. Moser
and promise well for his sixth annual ex-
hibition at the Fischer Gallery next Win
ter. Mr.. Moser will spend much of the
Autumn making studies in the mountain
regions of Virginia.

REWARDS FOR CALAMITY.
Secretary Long Impressed With the
Injustice of Present Methods

New York, Aug. 27.-The Washington
correspondent of the Evening Post says:
The Secretary of the Navy is more
and more impressed with the injustice of
the present system of rewarding officers
for gallantry. The many promotions
among line and engineer officers who
served at Santiago and Manila furnish
a number of striking examples of the
positive hardship and real tax visited
upon other officers, who were quite as
willing to share the risks as the beneh-
Charles, and who did an equal amount of
good service relatively important IN
character. Thus, officers who were on
biockading duty go unrewarded; bureau
chiefs and their assistants are unnamed
for honors or greater rank, and these
officers, who did their duty where they
were placed, are in many cases fined for
their loyalty.
I'm some instances officers lose more
numbers than they would We're they
guilty of drunkenness on duty. Capt. c.
NJ. Chester of the Cincinnati, for instance
loses five numbers. yet his work has beer
arduous and quite as gallant as the ser.
vice of most of the captains who are re-
warded at his expense. These conditions
are said to have been presented to Score
tary Long in such form as to impress
him with the injustice of the method
and it is likely that he will order a board
to devise some means of reward which
shall not be at the same time a hardship
to more officers that it benefits. It is the
purpose IF the department to present 6
bill to ,ngress which shall accomplish
this les mate and fair end. In the
meantin2e it is believed that many OF
the nominations made for gallantry viii
not be confirmed by the Senate.
There is expectancy on every hand II
the War Department, and the keenest
interest prevails respecting the plans OF
the Administration. The desire for mill.
tary investigation, in place of, or at leas
u, eIiminary to, congressional inquiry, i:
apparent in all bureaus. The prejudice:
of politics are dreaded by the official:
who must make the explanation and offel
the defence of their administration. Sew
eral of the bureau chiefs have stated t
the representative of the Evening Pos
their intention of asking for courts O

Postmaster General Smith discovered
