while between Tuscumbia, Ala, and
Florence, Ala, Mr.. Thuma received
sunstroke, from which he has never
fully recovered. ON reaching Steph.
enson, Ala, Mr.. Thuma WAS placed
In hospital established there, and q
little later on MIR. Thuma, with other
sick. was transferred to hospital nj
Nashville, Tenn, from where he was
discharged, rs this cert iiica,e shows.
Tie Surgeons certificate roud have
been none other than HAT Oi inpnt al
disability, as that ui'liction Il mosi
sure TO follow u severe case Of sun
stroke, and now no longer OF use TO
the service, Is discharged,
We understand the depart ment
claims, that later on. Thuma re en-.
listed In the Second ohio Heavy Ar
tillery, Co. T., from which lac de-
serted.
The records do show tina, on Jun,
y, 1863, Daniel Thuma re.enlisied IN
co. f., Second Ohio Heavy Artillery
that he was sent TO the hospital al
Louisville, Ky.-that he was trans
ferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps
Oct. 81, 1864, per information fur
nished by Medical Division, and tina,
he never found his regiment,
No, for after leaving the hospital
Mr.. Thuma went direct TO his HON,
In Ohio.
In the unbalanced, uncertain, fee

what might have been expected. II
the discharge OF every soldier Is TIL
sentence; mo objection to his bein,
re.enlisted Is known to exist" Ther
follows with: "This sentence will b,
erased should there be anything II
conduct or physical condition OF tn,
soldier rendering him unit for tn
army" This sentence Is erased II
Mr.. Thuma's discharge from the 1871
Reg't. OF Ohio Infantry, Sep. ., 1867
by this act the governments officer
have declared Daniel Thpma uni
for the army. The conduct OF MI
Thuma In this second enlistmen
proves, without q doubt, that IN
governments officers who erased tn
no objection sentence were right, an
fully justified, as the conduct Of Tn
soldier proved.
Where rests the wrongp Certainl
not with Mr.. Thuma. The government
should not have accepted second CT
listment. II q mistake was made b
taking Mr.. Thuma again into the sci
vice (which has proved to be true) tn
department surely should not hol
him responsible after he had been d.
clared by his government unable an
unit TO complete his first enlistment
