DgAR TELEGRAPH;--I suppose you and your
numerous friends have often heard in the short
time which has transpred since the 2nd 0. V.
G. U. s. A, left camp Wade, that the Regi-
ment had been ordered into Kentucky, but If
you have, we arc ahead ofyou, for we hear of
a "new order just received" commanding US to
again start Immediately every few hours.
Co. f., in which you will tind most Of your
friends if you ever try, arrived here two weeks
since, aud took up its abode 10 the old Infantry
Barracks, made for Summer residences, and OF
course constructed SO that air, pure as nature
ever furnished, would never be at premium
within. These, for winter use are not very suit
able, but the boys appropriated all The poor
pieces oflumber they could end upon the grourd
or in any other place, procured some stoves and
made themselves comfortable. just as we were
nicely settled, it became necessary to move US,
to admit two more companies into the line, aud
so We again migrated after occupying our FIRST
quarters almost Eve days On Tuesday last,
lumber began TO arrive in large Quantities, and
it was left iu the rear Of our quarters Specu-
laiion was Wild On "Wednesday about 20 car
penters appeared and began to construct sheds
for our horses. AT noon 10 moro came, and
90 following days others arrived, aud with lun.
Der still coming; the result is that we have shell.
ter for our IL 90 horses nearly completed
About noon to-day, Quarter Master Thayer
came out and informed the boys that they must
pack up and go to "Z)o-Zoo Land" or into
their tents Immediately, as 200 men would be
on tho ground in the morning to construct new
quarters for them We concluded 10 take our
tents, aud just as the boys had them pitched
and most of their things moved, the Col. order
ed them all back to their old quarters. Thus
two moves in one alteruoou--used it nearly all
up. AT sundown, or after, the Adjutapt came
aud read al order for US to again move in the
morning So the new quarters are TO be built,
We expect.
Iffrom this brief history you judge that the
