"a private soldier" belonging to the
Second West Virginia regiment, writing
from Camp Wetherhill, has written 4
letter containing complaint against
the authorities Of the military depart
ment because the regiment Is kent In
the service. and takes occasion to say
that 1t Is an outrage, charging that
Governor Atkinson Is working to hold
the regiment in. For this lie says the
soldiers have sworn vengeance against
the governor, and that the mention Of
his name calls forth "a torrent Of pro-
family" The article contains Il lot OF
abuse OF the officers Of the regiment.
The remarkable feature about the let
ter Is that 1t is published verbatim un-
cratic papers In the state. 1t appeared
In the Parkersburg Sentinel and the
Charleston Gazette Of Thursday, and In
the Register Of Wheeling OIL Friday
morning, each being addressed TO the
editor of the paper publishing It,, show

several Democratic newspapers. This

write OH behalf OF the entire regiment

governor 10 warrant some sort OF an In
vcstigatIOn.
Tho lntclllEenccr cannot believe that
the entire regiment Will endorse the
tone OF the letter. though 1t is probably
true that the members desire to be mus
tered out. The threatening nature OF 1t
Is indlHcrect, to say the lcagt, IL not ac-
tually In violation OF military discipline.

KIMBERLY is at the mercy Of the
Beers. A horde of 10000 infests
the great diamond district and the
town has been besieged by the
Beers, while the army is marching
on to Dundee. North Natal has
been cleared and 1t begins to look
as if fighting were to take the place
OF words between the two nations.
The railroad has been torn up for
8 miles south of Kimberly, thus
making it impossible to send relief
to the town they have so completely
besieged. An attack on Dundee Is
expected to-day. It begins to look
as if England would now have her
hands full in subduing the Beers
and restoring order in the Trans
yaal,
