LOOK AT THE CAMrs.
A visit TO Camp Scott on Staten Island re-
veal,d something worthy Of mention. Two
regiments Of artillery arc there encsnp,d,
which arc now full. The men are hale, hear.
~, strong. They are under good officers. Tho
number " mon ON the ground is about 200.
Stalls are fitted up, or arc preparing for | 800
horses. The horses have no. yet been assigned
TO the mon. They are all running down and
growing poor very fast, fer the lack Of proper
feeding and caro-. Those who have the respon-
tibility, ought TO know better than 20 have
these hCrsos so TO waste. As things arc now
going, IL seems that many Of these animals will
soon be unfit for service, and will "go to graSs
before they leave the Island.
CHAPLAISs.
The men who have been appointed to the post
,fchsplains in these two regiments are worthy
men, and are devoted to their duty. Many Of
tho men are already expressing great in crest
and satisfaction in their lsbors. They hold reg
ular preaching services on the SIbblth, ard
are actively engaged, in various other ways, in
prCmoting the good Of the mon. Thoy are men
Of the iisht stamp.
