There were not as many people down to the Pacific Mail and Oceanfc com- panies’ wharves when the regulars ar- rived on former occasfons, nor was | there quite as much enthusiasm. When | the soldiers marched on to the wharves and were dismissed the work of putting their belongings aboard was begun at once. Some of the men tried to get out of the shed In order to take a farewell glass with their friends, but when the officers found out what was going on they at once placed sentries to keep the sol- dfers in check. On the Mail dock a cordon of sentries was placed, but the men managed to elude them. A narrow passageway runs along the outside of the shed and by it the men d to the upper part of the wharf and thus out on Brannan street, | where they got the much-coveted drink. | At 3:30 p. m. all this was stopped by the men being ordered aboard and at 4 p. m. the transports Peru and City of Puebla dropped into the stream. Both vessels will remain under steam and will be ready for a start any time to-day. The transposed revenue cutter Grant was also ordered to get ready to sall at once under sealed orders, but yesterday these were termanded and 1t co now be a couple of days before she will leave port.

Thirty Comrades Rally to the Defense of Private Dungan and Define His Position. To the Editor of The Call: In justice to our esteemed comrade and fel- low-citizen, Mr. Dungan, as well as to ourselves and the honor of the old company, we would most respectfully deny each and every accusation which has appeared over the signature of the ‘‘scabby eight. In the first place, it 18 a fact that several of those signatures would never have appeared on Company M’s roll if we had been allowed to take our oath of allegiance. Only one of them ever was a member of Company F—Private Holt—and to prove the high esteem in which he was held by his comrades, he was, by a two-thirds vote, dishonorably discharged from the service of the State; and we think if his record in the United States Infantry looked into by Lieu- tenant Colonel Carrington it will be found to be anything but creditable. Some of tne other signatures belong to men who, to put it “light,” belong to the great “army of the unemployed,” and have no residence here, and are hardly the kind of people whose statement, not only besmirching an individual but a whole company, will be glven much serious consideration by those who know the facts. Editor Dungan was one of our most enthusiastic volunteers. He never In any way tried to influence our opinion, and seldom expressed his own. In presenting our mascot to Company E, which he did after repeated calls had been made on him, he referred to the seceders as the ‘“‘measley elght,” and In those two words lle the whole feeling which has been expressed in to-day’s Call, in which they give vent to their personal feelings by trying to vilify an honorable and patriotic man in discharging the duties which he owes to his country and his flag. If we did not feel sure that in answering these allegations we are discharging a duty we owe to Mr. Dungan, the source from which they emanated would have kept us from paying any attention to the biased opinion of eight men as against 100. But, no doubt, they are only the tools of some of Budd's political machines. There never was at any time any necessity of an agitator, as the unanimous verdict of the company, without any agitating, was carried out, and upheld by our citizens when we returned home. Captaln J.

Surgeon Rafter says that the whole place is little better than one big “germ culture.” This opinion, coupled with a recom- mendation to move the camp, he has put into vigorous English and has addressed it to Colonel Funston and the colonel has started it through the regular channeis toward the head of the department. 1t is the desire of the entire command that they be transferred to the Presidio, as the rapidly increasing sick list is alarning them all lest a serfous epidemic break out. —— SIXTH ARTILLERY.
