Since the Governors last proclamation was
issued, forhidding recruiting except under OF
dezs from State authority, there has been an
inc1eseed activity In the War Department
here, which not only draws heavily upon their
time but ezhausts the supply Of material on
hand. The Arsenal which visited on Satur-
day last Is turning out war material up to Its
full capacity, the lead used being the same
captured On The Ohio some two months ago.

Two visits to Camp Butler have satisfied me
' that the Camp is finely located, that the neigh
bo1hood is healthy, the officers polite and the
Commandant, Col Pitcher Of the .. s. army,
every way competent in his position. The
Hospital arrangements are excellent Doctor

or Of the Camp and attends promptly to the
sanitary condition Of the General Regimental
Hospitals. Would that the same could be
said Of the Hospitals throughout the military
encampment OF Missouri
Tie sanitary condition Of our troops gener-
ally in Missouri is dep1orab1e, and needs the
vigorous and watchf1 care OF those to whom
this department properly belongs.
The Commission which has been organized
by the Governors Of several Of the States, to

1pteer soldiers In the several camp hospitals
throughout the country, has resulted In much
good. The utility Of this commission no one
can doubt. The practicabllity at present is
somewhat doubtful, and will be until certain
difficulties can be removed The greatest DIFF
fcnlty seems to be the conflict Of Jurisdiction
United states othcers being 10th to have
apy one under State authority interfere with
their red tape prerogatves.
Gov. Yates has had his attention called to
this matter and will no doubt do what he can
to have all the difficulties removed and send
out good and competent men to follow our
troops to the WaEB, to look after their treat,
