The uniform Of this regiment is very neat,
consisting Of dark blue coats and caps and
light blue pants. They are armed with Mimic
muskets. In the matter Of drill, the regiment
Is rapidly approaching that perfection which
gained them SO much credit tas three months
regiment. The men are represented as strong,
ahle-bodied and intelligent, and will do no
diecredit to the name OF the State which
sends them forth once more to the field.

The Daily Union Prayer EIeetIng.
The Dsily Union Prayer Meetings, In the
Methodist Church block, have been largely at;
tended during the past week, and have been
marked by scenes OF peculiar interest We
give tWo Of them SIS indicating the religious
feeling in the community and in camp:
a young man, acting as City Missionary fol
the Young Mems Christian Association, stated

she might be cent to, and be snatched from tn

thought good deal about such an institution
and have talked with quite number Of gen
tlemen, but he had never presented the cas-
to God until tc-day-haying asked God t
direct in the matter himself: he now desire
to ask this meeting to pray that such an inst
