General Orders "No; 7, published on July 29th, contained this paragraph : It having been reported to the Commander-in-Chief that Companies A,' E and K, of the 'Third Regiment, struck camp-and returned home on yesterday, without leave from competent authority, it is now ordered that Capt. E. F. Young, of Company A, Captain W. A. Bobbitt, of Company E, and Captain Max Lowen stein, of Company K, make immediate report to the Adjutant-General stating by what authority their companies left camp. Should they fail to make this report within, five davs from the receipt of this ordenTpr should thej same be un satisfactory, the- commissions -of the of? Ccers will be revoked" ano thtompaniea disbanded. '- ' 1 IL The following report from the Ad jutant General contains the responses of the omcers involved and such additional facts and circumstances bearing upon the case as are necessary to be known : . Office of the Adjutant General,! . ' Asheville, Aug. 19th, 1885. f Special Report No. 2. lo His Excellency Gov. A. M. Scales: Sib : I have the honor to submit here with the several responses to General Order No. 7, made by Captains Bobbitt, Young and Lowenstein, and also a letter from Col. Glenn upon the same subject, and the application for leave of absence for companies A. E and K, made to me by Col. Glenn on the 28th day of July, said papers "being marked respectively exhibits A, B, C, D and E. ' Tho application for leave for these companies was filed by Col. Glenn at my headquarters at Camp .Scales about noon on Tuesday the 28th day of July. I re ceived and read the application about 1 o'clock that day, being absent from camp on duty at the hour it was filed. I im mediately reported the matter to your Excellency in company with Col. Glenn and Maj. Smith. You declined to grant the application for leave, except as to Col. Glenn and Maj. Smith; whom you permitted to go home on the afternoon of that day. - At the time this application for leave was filed, companies A E and K had al ready commenced breaking camp, were packing np, and moving off. In reply to the explanation offered by Capt. Bob bitt, I beg leave to say that the instruc. tions to which he refers were special, written directions to the several regi mental commanders, giving them in structions with respect to the care and preservation and return of public and hired property in their possession, to wit: the tents, stoves, cooking utensils, &c, and also with respect to striking the tents and marching to the depot. All this, of course, had reference to the de parture of the troops at the close of the encampment. It was simply preparatory and I am at a lone ndnrstand how anyTme-conld have Refcn'Oaisiea iiy saurrf instructions, or could have construed them into permission for any company or legiment to leave camp. Plainer lan guage could not have been used. Capt. Youngs assertion tnat oetore going to Camp 1 was , advised that nis company could not remain in camp dur ing the ten days, is not strictly true. I was only advised that some ot his men would be obliged to return before the ten days were out. : Capt. Young wrote me on .July llith as follows: '.would like to know something about my men leaving camp before the ten days are out. Some of them cannot remain the whole ten days, and I have promised to let ihem return." In regard to the explanations offered by Col. Glenn. It is true I told him that I wiuld grant leaves of absence to men of his regiment whom he should sav were compelled to go back home before the encampment closed; but this referred to individuals only, and I expected, of course, that the applications would be made in the usual way according to the Regulations with which I presumed all officers were acquainted; and that no man would leave camp until his appli cation -was acted upon by the officer commanding the camp. Previous to the 28th of July I had granted leaves of ab sence to a detachment ef men belonging to Company A, and several members of Company K, upon Col. Glenn's written application. - That Col. Glenn should have construed my instructions to regimental command ers about breaking camp into permission for his regiment to leave camp before July 30, passes my comprehension. The instructions were written, and were couched in language certainly x plain enough to be understood by any one. No word or act of mine authorized Col. Glenn to grant permission to companies A, E and K to go home before his appli cation for leave of absence for them was acted upon, but it is clear that the of ficers and men of these several compa nies departed from ramp under the be lie! that leave from pioper authority had been obtained, and tliev must be ac vuitted of any charge of insubordination or intentional disobedience ..of orders. The responsibility for their unauthor ized departure rests' solely; with the commanding- officer; of the Regiment, who exDlains his conduct in a letter to me dated August 4th hereto appended marked Exhibit D. . : I have the honor to be your obedient servant, - .

Glenn on the 25th inst. that we could leave at the time we did, and that an or der-was received on Tuesday morning instructing-us how to strike tents, what to do with camp equipage, &c., and that I understood that was permission for my company to leave. T - V r ' t- 2nd. mat 1 was riniormea Dy l-oi. Glenn on Tuesday the day my company left) that he had seen Got.

Th Rovernor said to me that he refused permission for me .to leave, but that if Hnv nf mv men were compelled to leave, to let them go. Whereupon I went to th Denot according to his instructions nA ordered back all the men that could stay. - I would Bay farther that Sergeants J. F. Rogers and S. M. Bobbitt and priv ate E. T.

That we are always ready for any duty or to obey any commands. That I wish it to be understood that myself,, and all the men wno could possibly stay, were here until excused.

Before going into eauip you wre advised that owing to tM busy season at this place that my -comriiand could not remain in camp during the 10 days, and in your favor of the 17th' July to me on this subject you say "About your men leaving camp I refer -you, to your com manding officer Col.

N C S G., Statesvillk, Aug. 3, 1885. Gen. Johnstone Jones : Dear Sir : In replv to General Order No. 7, received to-day will state that I greatly regret the necessity of my leav ing the encampment before inspection as well as the issuing of order. Our departure was made with no in tent to set aside the regular military dis cipline you wish to instill in the Guard or with any idea of 'showing any disres pect to my superior office b. - As you are a ware many members of my company are working men, mechanics at various trades, and laborers in the tobacco ware houses and it was with considerable loss to themselves that they, went to the en- CatP P"i fm t a II inri: t W&&-. rnally fi. hardship to expect thenVCST" remain the full time and risk the danger of losing their places, etc. . .Before leavng .camp I understood that the 3rd Regiment would be dismissed and that Col. Glenn gave permission to companies that desired to leave to do so. I had no written or positive orders from Col. Glenn to leave, hut acted on that impression (which I da not think will be disputed) that the 3rd Regiment could leave and that he had so reported to you. I hope that you will be satisfied that my act in bringing my company home was not done in a spirit, to encourage a breach of discipline or in disrespect to you or Gov. Scales and that the matter will appear in proper light to vour entire satisfaction. Should you consider (which I trust not) that my act should be punished in the interest of keeping dis cipline in the state Guard, then i hope you will let the blame and punishment fall on me and not on the members of my company. With great respect. Your obedient servant, Max Lowenstein. Capt. Com. Co. K, 3id Reg. NCS G. Exhibit D. - -Cuarlottb, N..C, Aug. 4, 1885. Gen. Johnstone Jones, Dear Sir : I enclose you a communi cation received from Capt. Young this morning as I was about starting here. In regard to this matter. I know it was the wish of the men to remain. bu business compelled them to leave. You told me and told a great many in my command you would grant any leave from my reg ment if I said it was necessary.. The men knowing this, applied to me. Those who had to leave at once I applied and got leave for ; the others I persuaded to stay as long as possible. They said they could not stay longer than Tuesday, and 1 promised to get them leave., I applied to you lor leave, and told the men I was sure it would be granted, and they thought when they left they had leave. It was impossiqle for the men to 6tay longer, and acting on what you told me, I promised them if they would remain nntil Tuesday evening I would get them leave, and they supposed of course it was granted.

After such consideration of this case as its importance to all concerned demands, t find the facta to be as follows: x.

That Colonel Glenn applied in writing through thelregular channel to the oflicet in command of the camp for leave of ab sence for a portion of Company. A on a day previous to the 28th day of July, and the same ,was duly granted and the men left under such permission; that he applied in writing on the iSth for leave of absence for Companies E and K and the remainder of Company A, and that' this leave wa not only positively declined by the Commander-in-Chief, but Col. Glenn and Maj.

Glenn shou!d Say were obliged to go home, nadxelerence to - individuals who should applv-in the regular way for leave of absence, 'and : the" action of Colonel . Glenn in allowing part of his regiment to leave upon such verbal statement was without authority. While in my judgment his action cannot be-justified, yet it appears to me from his cxpla nation and all the facts ot the case that he acted under misapprehension;and not from any Jspirit of insubordination, disobedience of orders or disrespect of superior officers. VI. Under all the circumstances of the case it appears to my satisfaction that the members of Companies A, E & K broke camp and went home under the belief that leave of absence had been obtained for them from proper authority. In view of this fact the officers and men of these several companies are acquitted of Wame in the premises. It is proper in this con nection to state that Captain Bobbitt and Sergeants Rogers and Bobbitt and private E. T. Jones, of Company E, re turned and remained in camp until given leave in regular way by the officers com manding the camp ; and also that the de tachment of Company K that left before the 28th went under proper Authority. ..VII. This was the first, and I trust may be the last, occurrence of the kind in the State Guard. Cheerful obedience to or ders has always characterized the organi zation, and to this fact is largely due the high estimation in which it is .held by the public. Discipline is essential in all mili tary bodies. . Without it, the State Guard would be worse . than useless.- By means of it, the Guard has become an institution of recognized value to the State, and only by means of it can it retain the confidence and gopd will of the people which it has hitherto won for itself. A. M. SCALES. - - Gov'r and Commander-in-Chief. A 'Snake' in a Boot. . To be suddenly aroused from sleep by the fire alarm is enough to unsettle the nerves of a more social man than our ex cellent chief of the Hook and Ladder Company; and it is but natural under the excitement, for one to run into his pants hind parts frontwards and encounter tnHr'i jillm:' ii.ii.. --ffi.-rlt -r.- lrfc V addition to this to jump out of bed. and jumping into his boot to find a snake in one of them, as one of our said cl-ief did the other night, is more than any com munity ought to expect any man to have to submit to. Tho valiant Captain find ing an obstacle to his prompt ingress in to his bot, ran his hand in, pulled the thing out, and, while . standing to his duty by trying to pull on his boot with one hand, he violently shook the little thing extracted from the boot with the other to see what was in it. It was empty, too dead to hurt, but -was solid enough to hinder just a while. How the thing got into the boot is thaabsorbing query; hut having' gotten in was doubly aggravating, for the occasion, in being so innocent of helpfulness. A Gorgeous Bokquet. We thank Mr. M.S.

Haywood Street, Sdoug?0-tf '- ' - t - - 1 MEMOS! AM. Died, in Baltimore oathe 13th inst., James V. Loughran. He was the youngest broihei of the Messrs. Lough ran of this city, and was born in Balti more on the 21st of julv, 18G3, and con sequently was 22 years of age. He had but recently gbno to Baltimore to spend a few days, preparatory to assuming the management of the extensive furniture establishment of his brother John B. Loughran, ia Norfolk, Va., but soon af ter arrival was taken down with typhoid fever, which resulted so sadly on the date stated above. He was a young man of excellent character, splendiu rh vsioue. and fine habits, was genial and -warmhearted as the sons of tne Emerald Isle always are, and made many friends in this city ' during his -short stay this spring. , v - Messrs'. Loughran of this city hastened to Baltimore on receipt of telegrams stat ing the immediate danger of their broth er. Unfortunately they arrived too late ; to see him alive, and only had the mel ancholly satisfaction of being present at . th.q. last rites of onefb whom tliuy were x uinerai 1001c place on Saturday the loth inst. at 2:30 !. in, a very large concourse of people attending, all of whom-united with the family in sincere but not demonstrative grief. Mr. Loughran was a member of bt. incents Lyceum of Baltimore, and wag buried from St. Vincent' Church. There were eight pall bearer?, 'members of the same society, and Father Dido delivered a most impressive sermon, and closed the last sad chapter in this most estimable young man's life. Mr. Lough ran was engaged to be married to a charming young lady of Baltimore, and another most touching circumstance of the event was the fact that it called to gether the entire family who had not been together for nearly twenty-two years. It is needless to try to comfort those left behind. We can only sym- fiatliize for the void in their hearts, and et them know how deeply their friends sympathize with them in their dark hour.
