Hartley, the governor’s secretary, went south with the train and had charge of all the arrangements, which were perfect in every detail. Owing to the lateness of the hour at which the train reached St. Paul, Gov. Clough wisely refused toallow anyone to enter it to disturb the invalids, but the next morning the latter, under the governor’s directions, were moved by the assistance of physicians and nurses on the train, members of the red cross and many willing friends to the hospitals or hotels of the twin cities where all were tenderly cared for.

Privates Norman Sandberg, Feter Trbelson, and B. C. Knapp, of Glenville, were too ill to travel further and Norman Sandberg was left at the St. Paul city hospital, and privates Trueison ond B. C. Kuapp at the lius-sell sanitarium, Minneapolis. These three were very ill, but are now reported to be gaining.All the boys confirm the reports of abuses at Camp Thomas, but the insinuation that quartermaster Lind is in the least to blame, is utterly unfounded and unjust, and is indignantly repudiated by every soldier uf the regiment. Every man of company I now in Albert Lea denies the political slurs against Lieut. Lind, and all unite in saying that he at all times did all in his power for the soldiers; that none could have done more, and through his ceaseless efforts fared better than any other regiment in camp. A few political schemers who are the authors of these criminal slanders are likely to hear something drop when the rest_pf the soldiers of company 1 get home.Infamous abuses prevailed at Camp Thomas, but it was a very rare instance that a regimental or company officer was at fault. The fault was w ith the imcompetent officers appointed by the president, and with the corrupt contractors with whom the wardepartment trafficked for its supplies. This is tfie report of the commission headed by Gen. Koe, that was appointed to investigate Camp Thomas, and this is confirmed by every intelligent and honest soldier.The success and beneficence of thehospital train was complete, and the credit of it is mainly due to Gov. Clough. It wTas a godsend to the stricken and homesick soldiers, and they will ever be grateful to the governor for providing it.There was a great and anxious crowd at the union depot in this city when the train with the eight weak, wan and tottering convalescents arrived, and the greetings of their friends were most pathetic. Mayor Wilkinson and Mr. Knatvold did everything possible for the comfort of the boys and saw to it that they w ere either taken in charge by relatives or were otherwise cared for. It is belived that all will now rapidly recover and soon will be restored*to health and vigor, and thus be able to join their company when the time comes to be mustered out.Ust o post oflMluue»lt;Rrof lt;Capt WCecil 11Partlf will plei To obtaPopFive C\\r a:it lirtf\\a:rthe Catpost oil\\T a:ctate piIn everjin buyit diso or in The special gle cop ttonal iMo.WAllttonal 1 tration$6.00 vtU dead ces ol p pie uev these 01*1.00 anDurborIllinoisVT A lt;office.FO^OK' UOCall at''OR1 flt; 33tf^OR1 Ofl pool re 23tfORniORe31 tlThat if “confi-l F°s*d e n c e is restored.” Preston and New Kicli-lt i« MoreA.
