The following is q schedule Of the different
companies Of the Third Regiment, In the
matter Of the three-years' call:
Company A has fifty six names upon the
roll, out Of ninety-three, the whole number /
of members.
Company B, fotty.fou out Of eishty.one.
Company o., fifty out Of ninety three.
Company ID, fNy-eight out Of ninety. four.
Company K, ffty-seven out Of seventy. FIVE.
Company #, sixty-thfee out Of ninety four. |
Company g. forty-three out fseventy.fve.
Company II, hfy.eight out OF ninety.one |
Company ], fifty out Of ninety. eight.
Company X, ffty-three ont of ninety. seven.
YOU will see that q majority Of each com.
pany has been obtained, which, according to
the official edict, will secure TO the Regiment
its present organization, and the probability
of an early acceptance for active service. l
learn, however, that q new election will be
held, and button-holing is the principal
order Of the day. Several youthful gentle
men will probably be deposed, and the dis
tinguisbing tinsel change shoulders.
In the Eleventh and Twelfth Regiments,
there is a h~esitancy upon the part Of the SOL
diers to re. enlist, which may render it diff
cult TO re. organize with the present material.
In the Fourth and Eighth il is somewhat
~livelier. Officers Of the Seventh nave been
ordered into recruiting service. On the
other side, in one of the Regiments, compa-
mics have enlisted to q man.
So many promises have been made and
never fulfilled, so much said and SO little
done, SO much speaking and so little action,
that the men have not that confidence in the
powers that be which is necessary to the
success Of this plan. At all events, it will
have TO be all gone over again. Our volun-
teers, as q class, are reading and thinking
men, and are not to be coaxed or driven. A
moments hesitancy, q pause for considers-
ton on the part Of the undecided, has been
fatal in many instances. We are not with
out hope, however, that our Regiments will
be duly organized in response to this second
call.
Our Hospitals are rapidly filing up, though
our Surgeons and their Assistants are assid-
uous in their attention to patients. In such
weather as this, it is essential that good,
fresh, pure water should be provided. Ice
wagons are daily upon the ground, and the
cooling solidity Is disposed of at very reason
able rates.
Another death has occurred from measles;
the victim, a member of Captain Ashmead's
Company, Thirteenth Regiment. He be-

by Scully, is not dead, as mentioned in

nate mans resurrection.
-Four Sisters of Charity are at the Hospi-
bal, in attendance upon the sick. These use-
full institutions are visited daily by humane
ladies from our city, whose kindness entities
them fully to that enViable boon-the SOL
dier's gratitude.
They arrive early in the morning Of each
day and return to their homes at night.
1.-THE sisters occupy q church near the
railroad, opposite the principal hospital.
These are just such visitors as we need in
camp. AS for foolish young girls who come
to display Spring styles and small feet, or
meddlesome politicians from rural county
seats, they do enough of mischief at home.
The soldier must dissolve the ties Of affec-
ton for the nonce, forget home and kindred,
ignore refinement, and if he is to remember
relatives at all, lot it be emily to know that
there is some one to welcome bis return
from victory. If you must come to see your
boy bring him something to eat, something
substantial and wholesome, but preserve the

Our officers here have their comfortable
cottages, with kitchens attached, and fare
sumptuously while the hardy soldier goes

lions require the officers quarters to be
located some distance from that of the
soldiers, but in some cases they are too far
off to be heard from very often. /,

pared as the private, for the hardships
which must be endured by all in active SER

Nine thousand dress uniforms were re-
ceived yesterday, by Express, from Cleve-
land. The coat is a blue frock, brass but
toned, with brass epaulettes where they
should be. 1t is very pretty. They are to
be distributed TO- morrow. Caps and KNAPP
sacks are expected daily.
The Ninth Regiment, under Colonel
McCook, volunteered for the three years
service as an organization, there being but
twenty dissenting voices. 1t was said that
this Regiment was TO nave marched yester-
day to the scene of war. A thousand Of
