“Doubtless there has been
some carelessness resulting from
inexperience, but wo are of the
opinion that there has also been
some neglect on the part of the
officers largely responsible for
the administration of Camp

present administrative officers
did not take charge till after
Aug. 1. The officers referred to
are Major General Brooke and
his chief medical officer, Veteri

“Regimental hospitals should
have been maintained. Under
the system established it was
impossible to examine the men
properly.” (Each regiment or

following words :

among veterans. It lasted two or

LIGFH SENTENCE
Visited Upon Capt. Dtlncan
the Kansas Giioilld
WHO DESECRATED GRAVE
In the Confederate Cemetery at
Manassas Va.
•Washington, Sept. I.—Captain
and Assistant Quartermaster Dun
can of the Thenty-second Kansan
Regiment lias been tried by court
in ir ia! at : horoughfareGap,found
guilty of conduct prejudicial to
general good order and military
d .scipiine,s-’nt 'iiced to be deprived
cf rank for two mon bs and con*
fined to regimental camp,-to for*
fe>t half pay during term of con
finement and to be reprimanded
by the com na d ; ng General of the
army. Gen-ral Davis, the brigade
commander, has approved the
finding and sentence of the court.
Army officers in the War De
partment expressed surpri-e at the
lightness of the sentence, the state
ment having been made that it
was conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman, and therefore
mer/ed dismissal at the least.
Captain Duncan’s rffense was
that of having the remains of Con
federate soldiers near the camp
dug up.ln this desecration he was
assisted by enlisted men, and per
sisted in it until he was ordered
un fer ar-est. He contended that
his only desire was to secure relics,
and skeletons were being examined
to this end.
Since his arrest Captain Duncan
has been in confinement and under
guard. It is not customary during
tne time of war to forward the
findings of the courrL-martial tn
the office of the Judge Advocate
General. They zo direct to the
General commanding the brigade,
the officer in this case being Gen
eral Davis.

Bismarck was one day in a
company where among other
things the subject of how much
it cost to gain experience in life
cropped up. He kept silent for
a time, but presently joined in
the conversation and said:
“Fools pretend that you can on
ly gain experience at your own
expense, but I have always
managed to learn at the expense
of others.”
