A Birds Nest in Camp.

Miss Catbarine Beecher, travelling in
the West, relates in a private letter, the
following pretty incident At the camp
at Lafayette (Indiana,) we saw novel
sight. 1t was bird feeding its young,
directly in the midst of the camp. The
soldiers found it there ou coming out
its nest in the grass, with eggs. They
drove stakes around to protect it, and
when the lady bird saw what brave. stall
wart fellows were around her she conciu-
ded she was safe. So among drums,
cannon, and all mauner of caWp uproar,
she sat and quietly hatched out her
young. Then the soldiers put the little
ones in cage and hung them in the cor
mel of the camp-and as We drove along,
we saw the two parent tirds feeding
them.

going on in all parts of the field at the
same tirc, it was done in obedience to an
order from Rebel Headquarters.
ID. That, if this is the policy OF the en-

will never be able to restrain them in
another action.
