ed largely Of The pay department. which
has received about half of The money esii'

some four months paw due them. Dur

departments At home. has heen made
known. to our shame, in The papers Of the
capital here, through letter from Lieut..
! Col. Hunt. that was found on Tie person
of The sperial messenger from Washington.
The army is also suffering greatly from
the wan, ofpecessary cloihing-including
blankets and greatcoa,s. The new troops,
! chose who have las, arrived. as destitute
as the others, were first tnld that they
would find abundant supplies a, New
Orleans; next al Vera Cruz. and finally
here; whereas, we now have, perhaps, a
thousand hands engaged in making shoes
and loul Of bad materials, and al high rsies)
panialrons. These articles. about 3,0O0
pairs Of each. are absolutely necessary 10
cover the makedness Of the troops. Fe.
