MEssRs. EDITORS fear that q remark or two
q mine. lac; evening. may have led YOU TO
suppose that our excellent Aesietsnt Quarter.
maste-, Mr. Price, vas censurable for the wet
and s,rawless condition OF the barracks. No
such imputation was intended. There was 10
possibility Of procuring dry straw on such
rainy day as yesterday. Few men, with
many irons In the fire as hae Mr. Price, can do
every thing as well. The discomfort OF the
barracks is, perhaps. not any body's fault, but
rather the misfortune Of the weather, and Of
the somewhat mixed up eta,e of things incident
to the rapid accumul lation Of men, aud the or
ganizng of regiments. In few days the ,nen
will be under shingle roofs, and mos. OF their
present an | past discomtorts will disappear.
There is no complaint now. There will be
much rejoicing then. CHAPLAIN.

aids to assist him in keeping our soldiers ccm-
Portable. There 10 as much necessity for aids
there as at the Adjctant's office, we believe.
