Body of Dead Soldier Causes a Bow e.t Camp Thomas. A Chattanooga special says: A gen¬ uine horror was discovered Monday at Camp Thomas by Captain Samuel S. O’Connor, company A, Ninth New Y<r/k, and will be reported by him to Governor Black. Captain O’Connor, aTter some hesitation, told the follow¬ ing story: Nunns, who is member “Private a of a well-to-do New York family, had been transferred from company A, Ninth New York, to the Second divis¬ ion. Third corps, hospital company. He was taken sick over a, week ago and was sent to the Second division hospital, where he died Saturday. No report of his death was made to Cap¬ tain O’Connor, and on Monday he went to the hospital to see how the man was getting along. He found him in a tent adjoining a fever tent ©n a cot, stark naked, his body had been opened and an autopsy performed. The body was in a horrible state and had lain there since Saturday. Enraged and shocked at the horrible sight, Captain O’Connor called on the physicians in charge and denounced them in good round terms. Being ask¬ ed why the body was not dressed, the doctors said the man had no clothes. “Did he come here naked?” asked Captain O’Connor. “No; but he had no clothes.” When they heard that the attention of Governor Black, of New York, would be called to the matter, a suit of clothes was instantly found, tb* body was sponged off and dressed >and fixed for the undertaker's care. The remains of this dead soldier lay right against a tent full of sick men. The effusive odor of the 'body was something fearful. Captain O’Connor has preferred charges against Major fhnith, Major Raymond and Major Hubbard, doctors in charge at the Second division, Third corps, hospital, and the matter will be investigated, and tbaft thor¬ oughly. Captain O'Connor says he ha* served eight years in the British army in south Africa, on the Nile and else¬ where, and he never saw better man¬ aged hospitals than the Dei ter and Sternberg hospitals at Chickamauga. ‘“They are models,” said the veteran. “But,” he added, “the division hos¬ pitals are rotten—utterly rotten in <every way. I would never expect to see a sick man of mine alive again if he were sent to one of those horrible ■places.” As for the camp, Captain O’Connor says: “In all xay years of soldiering I was never camped in so healthy and pleasant a place as the Ninth New York occupies in Chickamauga park. It is model in every way. There is nothing wrong about the camp, the water or natural surroundings; but carelessness and neglect have made a had condition in spots, while the di¬ vision hospitals are little better than pest houses, places of death and mis¬ ery. They are a disgrace to the army and the country. ” SCHLEY IS DETACHED. Admiral, Bewever, Will Draw Full Pay While Serfifig On the Commission. An order was issued at the navy de¬ partment Monday detaching Bear Ad¬ miral W. S. Schley from command of the second squadron of the Ncrth Atlantic fleet, and ordering him to Porto Rico as a member of the evacu¬ ating commission, during which time he is authorized to fly his flag on the cruiser New Orleans, which will re¬ main in those waters until the com¬ mission is ready to return to the United States. Admiral Schley will be accompanied to Porto Rico by the following mem¬ bers of his staff now attached to the cruiser Brooklyn at New York: Lieu¬ tenant J. P. Sears, Lieutenant B. W. Wells, Jr., and Ensign Edward Mc¬ Cauley, Jr. The order for Admiral Schley to fly his flag on tljp New Or¬ leans is made in order to keep him constructively on sea duty while serv¬ ing on the evacuation committee, thus entitling him to the highest pay of his rank, viz: $6,000 per annum. It was for the same reason that the navy department decided to keep Ad¬ miral W. S. Sampson in nomimd com¬ mand of the North Atlantic fleet, while he is in Havana as a member of the Cuban evacuation committee. His flag mil be displayed on the aKiliary cruiser Resolute, which will take the members of the commission to Havana. FEYER PUZZLES EXPERTS. Origin of the Dread Disease at Orwood, .

Before he turned his- attention to navigation by steam, Robert Fulton | invented a marine torpedo, which he endeavored to dispose of to the Uni- j ■ ted States Government. Succeedng in ! interesting James Madison, then sec- j retary of state, in the matter, he ob tained a small appropriation 1 f, from the ! Government , for , the purpose of . con- j ducting some public experiments In , the summer of 1806 he invited the high dignitaries « td a number of promi nent citize m of New York to Gover nor’s Island to see the torpedoed and machinery . , with ... which his experiments , , were to be made. While be was lee turing on his blank torpedoes, which were large, empty copper cylinders, his numerous auditors crowded around him. After a while he turned to a copper case of the same descrip¬ tion, which was placed under the gate¬ way of Old Castle William, and to which was attached a clockwork lock. Drawing out a peg, Fulton set the clock In motion, and then he said in solemn tones to his attentive audience: "Gentlemen, this is a charged torpedo, with which, precisely in its present state, I mean to blow up a vessel; it qsntains 170 pounds of gunpowder, and If I were to suffer the clockwork to run fifteen minutes, I have no doubt that it would blow this fortification to atoms.” The cirde of humanity which bad closed around the inventor began to spread out and grow thinner, and be¬ fore five of the fifteen minutes bad passed there were but two or three persons remaining under the gateway. Some, indeed, lost no time in getting at the greatest possible distance from the torpedo, and they did not again appear on the ground until they were assured that the engine of destruction was safely lodged In the magasifie, whence it had been taken.
