MILITARY MATTERS.
CAMP TAYLOR.
We visited Camp Taylor at an early hour
yesterday morning and found that although
there were between $500 and 5000 troops
on the ground, it appeared dull in compaT-
rison to the past week. Now that the Seventh
and Eighth Regiments have left, there does
not appear to be that interest taken, in the
camp that there was previous to their de-
parture, and we do not wonder at {, as part
Of these regiments were composed Of cur
fellow citiaens--yOung Een, whose deport-
ment and soldiarly bearing had endeared
them 10 the public. There is still left, how
ever, some excellent material on the ground,
as visitors will see by going out there and
reviewing the remaining companies on pa
rade. r-rf.3 GnT
Among the companies that deserve special
eOmmendatiOn, which we noticed on the
ground yesterday morning, may De emu
merated Company B, zouave Light Guard;
Akron Company A; Cleveland Rife Grena-
diersj The Continentals; Buckeye Rifles,
and German company from sandusly.
Nor should the detachment of Company D,
Cleveland Light Artillery, be overlooked,
for their appearance and marching were ad-
mirable.
At nine o'clock guard mounting took place
on the parade ground, and Leland'S Band
furnished the music. We noticed the Band
on duty yesterday, and learn that they will
probably be retained for the present, Nearly
all the companies were on drill until eleven
o'clock, when rain storm set in, and the
various commands were dismissed.
The thirteenth regiment having already
been formed, the next mustered into service
will be the fourteenth. Whether it will be
the Toledo regiment or not we are unabls to
say, but no mastering into service will take
place before tomorrow. From what we
could learn, Camp Taylor will not be broken
up this week. ft. s.
co. A. AKRON LIGHT INFANTRY.
This fine body of men attracted much
attention yesterday by their excellent man
overing, and their marching was con-
eceded to be the best on the ground
We learn that their commander has seen
active service, and has been at West Point.
His men are under perfect command, and
are fine looking body of soldiers. Onsun-
day they attended Divine service at the
Bethel Church, and listened to an appropri-
ate sermon from the Rev. Mr. Beatty.
THE RIFLE eRENkD1ERs.
Marshal JObnson's company of Rife
erenadiers appeared finely on parade yes
terdaY in their red shirts and glazed caps.
They are stalwart looking set of men, and
are fast improving in camp duty.
THE HOSPITAL.
A visit to the Hospital of Camp Taylor
yesterday convinced US that the Surgeons
and Hospital Steward are nobly doing their
duty to the sick under their care. The num-
Der of patients in the different wards amounts
to 81, many of whom will soon be discharged.
Still, new cases present themselves daily
The measles are quite prevalent, but of a
mild type, and the majority of the patients
are suffering from cold and fever. A new
ward has been added, which is full. Every
thing looks comfortable and neat, and too
much praise cannot be bestowed upon the
Hospital Steward and his excellent lady for
their unremitting attentions to the sick
placed under their care. Since we last yis-
tied the Hospital, new sett- of shelves for
medicine has been put up, andvarious other
Improvements added. Two of the "sev-
enth" who have been quite sick are now
convalescent, and will be discharged TO- day
to join the regiment at Camp Dennison. +.
The ladies Of Cleveland have kindly come
forward to the call for jellies and other articles
needed. We could remind them once more,
that If any families having blankets, sheets
and pillow cases to spare, will donate them
for the use of the sick, the physicians and
stewards will be very grateful. These arti-
cIes are now needed, as the supply is very
scanty and patients in the fever wards Iced
a change of linen often. Those accustomed
to attending in the sick chamber will at once
understand the necessity of having these
articles.
. NURSES FOR THE HOSPITALS.
Have we Florence Nightingale's among
woman of our country, in all the loysl
States have done nobly in endeavoring to
watch over the sick. In all probability
bloody conflict may be expected soon
perhaps upon our own borders. Are the la
dies of 0hio-the ladies of Cleveland, ready
and willing to form corps of nurses for the
sick and wounded Let those who are viii
ling to sacrafce everything except their
cOuntry's rights, answer.
BR oARETUL OF IoUR HEALTH FoR ToUR
COUNTRY EEEEDs YOUR STRENGTH.
Atthe parades yesterday we noticed many
men when at rest from drill, seated on the
ground which was very damp. We are told
: that many cases of neuralgia, rheumatism
and fever have arisen from this habit. Lei
the captains of companies note this advice
and guard we'll the health of their mon, FOL
their country needs their strength.
