found guilty and sentenced to the
penitentiary for four years Tbe

minutes in making their decision.
Caldwell, it h thought, ia from

Lumberton, Jane 18. Lieucenat-t
Victor B'ue, who distinguished hie
self at Santiago a few days ago, is a
native of Njrth Carolina. He was
born just over the Richmond county
line, about five miles east of Laurin
burg, where bis father then lived.
When the boy was about three years
of age, bis father and family moved
to Robeson county and lived at
Floral College for five or six yearp,
and then moved to Marion county,
South Carolina, where the fami'y
hag lived ever since. Ill father, the
late John G Blue, praoticed law in
Richmond and Robeton counties,
aid afterward in South Carolina.
Young Blue went to Annapolis
about ten or twelve years ago, wheie
he graduated with honor. While at
Annapolis he had the reputation of
bein: tbe finest looking man in the
cavy. His mother was the daughter
of Gen E.'ans, of Marion county, S
C, aud was a lady of remarkable in
tellect and character.
The bravery shown bj Lieutenant
Blue has made him a hero, whose
name will go down in the lasting
history of his country, aud his rela
tives in Richmond and Robeson
counties rtjiice with tbe remainder
of tbe Auierio n people that the
South continues to produce cucb
men. It is somewhat remarkable
that Btgiey, Uobsou and Blue, the
three beroeg ot this war, should be
native North Caro lnians or of North
Carolina parentage.

ToThb Standard : Durirg the
past fevers! days 1 have received
many personal letters from various
people In Concord who want to
know a great deal about the welfare
of our boys, and to answer them in
dividually the quartermaster of this
company would be compelled to go
into the bands of a receiver, therei
fore I wish The Standard to
kindly publish the informat'on fur
nig :ed.
All ureasioess on account of sick
nisi should be dispelled at once, for
every member of Company L is en
joying excellent health, and only
two have been in tbe hospital since
loeatieg in this camp, namely, Pri
vates Iddings and Barger. Both
hnve been discharged, and are drill,
ing regu'arly.
As to tbe daily nuenu( we have
the usual supply of government ra
tions, be:f, bacon, dried beans,
onionp, old potatoee, coffee, bread,
etc., with seasonings. From savings
on fresh bread, the boj1) are occa.
sionally given pi s. Potatoes, beans
aod other things which cannot be
utilized from one issue to another,
are sold for cash or bartered for
fresh vegetables, such as snap beans,
tomatoes, corn, cabbige, etc, of
which the boys get plenty.
The 'goverrnient bag provided
shoes and underclothing, together
with uniforms, and every man is
well prepared on that score.
As to the rumor concerning Capt,
Hill charging the soldiers for the
underclothing donated by the Can
non & Fe'zzr Co., it is simply ab
surd, and no one with ordinary in
telligence would believe any such
slanderous report. The shirts were
issued to the ones who were in need
of them in mediitely after our arrii
