oAMP FATLoR.
Yesterday was q beautiful day at the
Camp and elsewhere, and the bright sun
shine and balmy air seemed to inspire new
vigor into the hearts of the troops. At nine
o'clock, guard was mounted, after which the
various companies were exercised in drill.
As regards the guard mounting of yester-
day, it is seldom excslled, even in the regu-
lar army. The officers took their proper
positions, and the men passed in review in
excellent style. We could not but observe
the perfect knowledge displayed in this
movement by Capt. KOnkle, the officer of
the day, who is evidently finished soldier.
Much praise is due to Lieut.. Avery and
other officers who participated in the mount
ing Of guard. Among the companies on the
ground which deserve special notice for
their superior marching movements, were
Company B ZOuavs Light Guard, the Union
Savers from Mentor and Willoughby, and
the Yagers from sandusiy.
The Union Savers are rapidly improving
in drill. They executed seventeen different
movements in one marching around the
camp yesterday morning, and their forma-
ton of hollow square was admirable. The
Buckeye Rifles also appeared to good advan-
tage. z5. ,.2t4A
The guard on duty yesterday were atten
tive TO their instructions, and there was less
of that listless lounging which we have fre
quenfy seen at the camp. Every man sp-
peared to know his duty and attend to it
properly, and for this much praise is due to
the officer of the day.
At the hospital We found few new cases,
but most of them are rapidly recovering
under the kind care and skillful attention
of the physicians and attendants. The Ia
dies are doing all in their power to aid the
sick, and we notice that the Rev. Mr.. Beat
tie is daily yisitsr among the sick of the
various wards. We doubt whether there is
better organized military hospital in any
part of the West than at Camp Taylor.
OUTRAGEOUS.
We learned that on yesterday morning an
officer (whose name we withhold) attempted
to pass q sentinel, and the sentinel not re-
cognizing him, refused to pass him, where
upon the officer seized him by the neck and
ehoked him severely. We hope if such be
the case, that a court martial will at once
be called, that the sentinel may have JUS
tee done him. It caused considerable ex
citement in the camp.
ARTILLERY DRILL.
sergt. Porter, we are glad te see, is daily
practicing his men in the movements of the
piece. Yesterday morning they executed
the manouvres finely. This morning, at
o'clock, Capt. Konkle expects to drill the
detachment in the Light Artillery move
ments Of the piece.
| TIE A--sEEA COMPANY.
Medina Co. A. appeared finely yester-
day. They had drill sergeant who served
in the Mexican War, and they are trying
hald to be first in point of discipline and
drill in camp.
TIE WAY II WORKS.
The Captain Of one of the military compa-
nies now in Camp Taylor, gave certificate
to one of his men a few days since, who
wished 10 procure a pass home, not being
able to pay his fare. By some misunder-
standing he went aboard the train without
having procured the pass from the suPerin-
tendents and on presenting the certificate to
the Conductor, was informed that the latter
had no power to give him passage. Several
gentlemen, sitting near, having overheard
the conversation, at once stepped forward,
each insisting on paying for the ticket, and
so great was the strife that 1t was necessary
to accept an equal amount from each, which
being done, the soldier went on his way re-
jOicing. IsS
