The Richmond Examiner of Wednes
day last coHlaiaa some of the findings of a
court martial -recently held in Kichniond.
from which we 'perceive that some tweu
tf North Carolina soldier have been ter
ribly, aud, it may be,juiily punished.
Ataong these punishment we fintf jthal
one, for desertion, was sentenced to re
ceive thirty-nine lashes on his. bare back,
to be branded in the left band with the
etter D. and to be nut at hard labor on
the rjublic works for three monthswith
ball and chain weighing twelve pounds at
tached to the left leg : another, for being
absent without leave, to hard labor with
ball and chain every alternate ten day for
sixty days, to be in eolitary confinement
in the intervals, and- to forfeit two months
fay ; another, for desertion, to receive 39
ishes on his bare back very three months
for the period of the war, to t branded
in the left hand with the letter D, and to
be put to! hard labor in Richmond for the
balance of the war. These art awful pun -iih
meets. It is better to hoot men at
once than to punish thein in t''" way.'
But desertion is i kgr?at and growing evil
