WAR MATTERS.


We yesterday visited this camp, and found
Colonel Mark Mundy's Regiment in a flour
ishing condition. Captain VIM. N. Air
Quartermaster is a gentleman Of untiring
energy, when the wants of the men are at
issue, and the fine stock of pantaloons,
blouses and blankets on hand impressed us
with the opinion that in this case the right
man is in the right place.
We had the pleasure of dining at the camp
with host OF invited guests from Cincin-
natl, CovingtoD and Newport, and in justice
to the cooks, we must say the meal was an
excellent one.

CAMP LYONS.
This camp is situated on the east bank Of
the Scioto, about one-fOurth of mile from
the village of Worthington. The Forty

alton there, and is rapidly filling up. Colonel
Worthington and Lieutenant. Colonel Wal
cutt, commanding, are both graduates from
the Military, Academy at West Point. They
are thoroughly educated military men, and
will lead their command to service with a
capacity commensurate with their response
