THE BARREL MOVEMENT.
A sketch of camp life on the Rio Graade

A sketch Of camp life on The Rio Grande.
When the st. Louis Legion was en-
camped on the Island at the mouth Of
the Brazos Santiago, the boys began
for the first time, to feel the inconve-
nlence of "Uncle Sans fodder arrange
ments-not that they expected to find
"chicken fixins," every morning; but at
least felt confident that beans would be
nourishing. About IL o'clock A. M.
every day, the little round vegetables
were put in the camp kettles, and in an
hour or probably an hour and half,
were served out. To those skilled in
dried beans, we need not explain how
little effect an hours boiling would have
done them. The different messes crack
ed away, however, chewed the hard
pebbles up, and left off their meals in
a very unsatisfied manner. A few
days had scarcely elapsed, when a gen.
eraI grumbIe was set in circulation
against the commissary department,
Uncle Sam, and his beans, in particular.
One tall volunteer, swore in the mess,
that he would cross the main land, and
provision himself, if he had to eat a live
Rdnchero, before he would starve on
such fare; his comrades chimed n with
his rebellious resolve, and all of them
asked leave of the captain to take
short excursion for few hours in
search Of game. Leave was granted
and offthe party started. In the course
OF few hours, one came strolling into
camp with bundle under his arm, and
as he passed the sentry on the way to
their tent, he was accosted with
"Joe," what luck had youg"

OPERATIONS IN THE PAcIFIc.-Speaking of the
orders said to be given to squadron in the Paci
fic, to take and keep possession of Monterey and
San Francisco, the n. Y. Commercial says
GA sequel to this information, and one of no small
importance, is believed at Washington to wit, that
Admiral Seymour, commander of the British force
in the Pacific, has orders to prevent the capture of
Monterey and st. Francisco by the U. s. squadron
This we say is believed at Washington; but we do
not believe it. The Government OF Great Britain
cannot have given orders SO directly in contraven-
ton of beigerent rights, aud of presidents which
Great Britain has herself established over and over
again-and, we may add, so inevitably certain to
bring on war between Great Britain and the Uni
ted States"
