AFFAIRS WHERE OCR BOYS ARE CAMPING AWAITISO MUSTER. Maty of the Companies Are Short of teen Our Company Is a Source of Envy Seoause of Its Knowledge of lesticaand Its Efflolency at Drill. Affairs are going on smoothly at Chcip Mount. Oar boys are having it easy while the other people are learning the rudiments of drill. Their drums are a source of envy to the other companies, while their knowledge of drill turns the others green with envy. ,Vith the coming of Colonel Durbm a new order oi tmngs went into eneci at Camp Mount, and yesterday the affairs of the camp went on smoothly. Colonel Darbin held a meeting of all the commissioned officers in the after noon, and instructed them that until further orders squad drills would be the order f drill; also that the guards should require passes from those only who were at all suspicious or who wt re enlisted men trying to leave the bai racks. But it would be better for vis tors to secure passes and save annoyance. a order posted in the different company quarters instructs command and acts of personal violence. Mlito proniDit au TinnoAsafLW nmaA. gtpi& ai the praolic o JStafoir those who are consider'fresh" by the soldiers. ne of the difficulties confronting Darbin is the lack of men in the ious companies. When the call s is8uea uovernor mount cieariy cified that no company should ret with less than 106 men. Comles mignt oring lv'j men witn them. Notwithstanding these instructions several companies have come to camp without their full quota. Madison sent only 86 men; New Castle 97 men ; Michigan City 81 men. Officers of these companies are at home now recruiting to the limit, but the delay caused by the surgeons having to wait in the examination of the men may postpone the mustering several days. The surgeons are examining the companies, but a; yet no company is ready to be mustered. The deficiency in camp of the companies has been caused by desertion of the men after arriving in Indianapolis. Several left after the companies were in camp. giving divers excuses for their action. It is the same old story of the "white feather brigade," who wanted a free ride to Indianapolis. GOVERNOR MOUNT DISPLEASED. Governor Mount, who has learned of this condition among some of the companies, is mucn displeased over the failure of the captains to report with full companies, and has intimated that if the companies have to be filled from other towns he will allow the new recruits ta select one oi trie commis sioned officers, while one of the present officers would be reduced to the ranks. This hint is causing great ae tivity on the part of those officers whose companies are deficient in num bers. In the Rushville company fourteen men were rejected out of 100, the Mt Vernon company lost eight men out of 110. Jeffersonville, so far, has lost ten men out of ninety-seven men ex amined. The company consisted of 106 men when it came to camp, but lost nine men by desertion. l be examinations now going on are much more rigil than those in the other Indiana regiments at Camp Mount. Men are req nred to run, read signs at all distances and submit to various methods ot ascertaining their fitness for the service, and the least physical defect will bring the rejection of the candidate for Uncle Sam's army. No company will be mustered in until one battalion has been ex amined. The equipment is ready to be given to the soldiers as soon as the examinations have been completed xue Doys are au anxious to be mus te red in and wish to wear their new uniforms. Oar boys will probably come up for examination some time today. It is noticeable that while the Indianapolis papers are very open with their criti cism of many of the companies, not a Demeaning word has been published concerning our fellows. . A FIGHTER. Jackson Has Tamed Fighter as a Feather Weight. Eli Prize Eli Jackson, a joung eolored fellow who used to live here, passed through the city last night en route to Logansport.

At the present time he is engaged in laying out streets and building sites in the new territory taken in by Greater New York. AMSDEN OUT. "Bill" Amsden Has Returned From Serving Time at Columbus. "Bill" Amsden, who was sent up from here for counterfeiting, after a trial before Federal J u ige Baker of Indianapolis, for one year, returned here from Columbus, Ohio, this morning, his term in the United States prison there having been served. Amsden with his brother Henry and old Jesse Way were caught at the house on south first street known as the "Farm." Henry has still one year to serve, wh'.le Way will perhaps never get out alive, as he was very old when put in and was sentenced for seven years. GAS SITUATION. Addison C.
