ARMY BREAD.—A correspondent of the Spring-
-Beld Xepubhcan says that the bread dealt out to the
ed eral troops on the Rappahannock was packed in May,
62, but must be much older. During its " Peninsula
4'tripaign" the bread had become inhabited by a very lively
!pecks of insect of a brown colour and amiable disposition.
WhVarious stories are told of these crackers in camp, many of
ich, possibly, are malicious fabrications. One was that
c4e insects were purposely put in the bread to save mule
744.sportation, and that when the commissary wished to
tr the bread he simply whistled and it came itself.
411r0ther was that four of these crackers were seen on batta-
'4'4 drill one evening, going through the evointions with
NIA precision. One of the boys had a lot of loaves so
°'„ I,kly settled as to be uneatable, and brought them to the
,141t.uissary to be exchanged. Re was told to lay them
:',(l';'l. and take others, when he very honestly asked,
