spirits, produced by the improvements in
their quarters, the commissary department,

pathies in behalf OF the latter in no ordinary
degree.

A new military company is forming at
No. 81 West Third-street, where recruits are
wanted.
We have received the following commu,
nication, which explains itself:
CAMP HARRISON, May !, 1861.
Dear Press; wish TO make an inquiry
through your colums, as there are many in.
terested in our welfare as soldiers in this
crisis. We want to know whether the blank
cts donated to the soldiers are to be distrib-
uted to us as Government blankets, or
| whether the citizens intended those for the
| comfort of the soldiers, until the Govern
ment could obtain blankets; and next we
want to know who donated, and how many
have been donated. Next we hear that
thousands of pairs of shoes have been do
mated for the wants of the soldiers; then
we want to know why it is these shoes are
delivered and charged up as coming from
the State. When we enlisted, we did 80 to
do service for our country, not to live of
the State; but if citizens do for us, and
make us comfortable, we can't see why the
State, or Quartermaster's Department should
control this matter in favor of the State.
AS for neglect of Captains in their duty in
providing for the comfort of the men, the
is all nonsense. My men will say the same
AS to rations, we get them every day, and
enough of them; but we need uniforms and
guns, and we have received no information
as to when we will get them. We are pa
tient, but we can not fight without them
We suppose that when the State gets a gooC
ready it will shoot. Yours,
A CAPTAIN.

sary Department, resigned yesterday.
