The Secretary of War directs that for each battle in which every officer, non-commissioned officer, and private of the Invalid Corps may have been engaged and borne an honorable part, a scarlet braid, one sixth of an inch wide, may be worn on the right arm, with a space of one sixth of an inch between each braid. This will become an honorable badge, showing the service the officer or soldier has performed, and will be as highly prized by the brave wearers as the ribbons and crosses so proudly worn by the veterans of European armies.

Capt. M. A. Cochrane, of the 16th U.. Infantry, who, it will be remembered, passed several months in our city, recruiting for that command is now with many of his comrades, in the rebel prison, at Richmond, a. The apt. was taken at the battle of Chickamauga.

We regret to learn that Lt. Edwin Baxter, of the Engineers and Mechanic Regiment, now at home on furlough, is confined to his bed with chronic diarrhea.

A profound feeling of horror and resentment has been excited by the discovery that resurrectionists have disturbed the dead soldiers in the military graveyard, near the Soldiers’ Home, at Washington. Many have been disinterred and removed. Their empty coffins lie in the adjoining woods.
