@ Capt LEE, Of the Guards, ARR.
we'd home on Saturday from Burlington,
which place he left on Friday last. He
reports the boys in excellent health, only
one being in the hospital, and our friend
LEWIS slightly indisposed. Capt. LEE
says his men are all in fine spirits, and
are improving in drill very fast, exhibit
ing proficiency equaling any Company
in the regiment. Their neat uniform,
fine carriage, and orderly behavior, have
made them hosts of friends. OF their
conduct the Captain speaks in the high.
est terms. He has not had occasion thus
far. to order single man under guard.
Since the men obtain and cook their own
rations. they live much better than at
first, and as they have now a sufficient
number of blankets to enable them 10
sleep warm, they get along finely. Capt.
LEE himself. is looking bronzed and rug
ged, and in his fine blue uniform looks
"every inch a soldier" Col. WORM
INGToN has not yet received any orders
for his regiment to march, but it is
thought that the entire body of troops
would shortly be needed in Missouri.
Until the men get their arms and equip.
ments it will be impossible for them to
move.
