MILITARY MOVEMENTS
4 CAMP TAYLOR.
"a Camp. Taylor, during yesterday, present.
ed an extremely animated appearance.
Volunteer companies from abroad were arm
ing and taking up their quarters, hundreds
y of men were drilling on the parade, guards
were Patrolling the lines, and crowds of men,
women and children, were besieging the
gates for permission to enter, to see friends
and relatives. Carpenters are busily at
work putting up, as fast as possible, the can
tOnments for the qusrtering of soldiers, and
by six o'clock thic evening, preparations for
; 1900 additional troops will be completed.
Large quantities of blankets are being pur-
: chased and distributed, also provisions of
: all kinds necessary. The men have one
r consolation in the fact that if their fare is
not Of the most dainty quality, It is sub
stantial and good. For the manner it is
served they may thank Assistant Commits
Eary Phillips.
Major De Villiers was officer of the day
yesterday, as well as officer of the night
previous. The position, in the present tise
Of hurry and confusion, is not one of honor
alone, IS may readily be seen. Many of the
men who were on duty during the severe
storm of Tuesday night, have taken severe
colds, and all, we incline to believe, have
come to the conclusion that soldering in
earnest is no mere boys play. Let any one
try constant marching for eight or ten hours
a day, with but short intervals Of rest, and |
no possibility of stopping to nurse sore feet
and weary limbs, enduring heat aud thirst, |
without opportunity even to grumble at the
hardship, and then say whether the lot of a
soldier be a desirable one so far as pleasure
is concerned.
