Companies D. Captain Green, and E, Captain

took possession Of the quarters here on Wednes-
day morning, 10 obedience to orders issued by
Major General Patterson, on the preceding day
With the exception Of two priyates of Company
L, the officers anil men marched promptly from
Camp Brandywine within three hours after the
command was received This location is de
lightlul and convenient in every respect, being
within three or four hundred yards of the Eas-
tern Shore of the river, and on the edge OF
wood from which the ground gently slopes to the
water. Several good springs are in the vicinity
of the Camp, and the men enjoy the luxury oil
bathing ms often as they feel inclined, when not
on duty. Add to these privileges the amuse-
ment of fishing, and wholesome rntions in album
dance. and there is no room for gruinbling. 1t
may reasonably be Inferred that the men are
contented, and perform their duties eheerfully
We are distant from Hayre de Grace lS miles,
and from Baltimore rs. Our business is to
guard the Rail Road Bridge which crosses the
river at this point, and Is three-quartcrs of a
mile long. For this purpose we are provided
with swivel gun mounted in car made of
boiler iron, which is also pierced for musketry,
placed Mt the Eastern end of the bridge.
At night, strong picket guard, under the
command Of commissioned officer, is thrown
across the river, and thus every approach is de
Tended.
The gun is in charge of n special guard, COM
posed of men from the two Companies, who
have had some experience in handling heavy
metal, and yesterday they tried the range of the
piece, 10y disehargng load of canister down
the river. Tho charge scattered beautifully, and
the why the water was ploughed convinced u;
TINT it would be tar from safe for any bridge
burning rebels to advance in the face of oul
little battery.
This morning, after dress parade, religious
services were held in the rear of the Camp by
Rey. MIR. Condron. Of Wilmington The seem
was impressive. Tho woods were made voca
with hymns of praise, sung by the men who be
haycd themselves with perfect decorum, AM
