occur in consequence, which the soldiers

| #l THREE COMPANIES.
An order was received yesterday by Gen.
Fitch, from Gen. CarringtOn, that all appli-
cations for three years service, must be at
once made. and a roll fled with the Depart
ment at Columbus by Monday noon, the
2s,h inst. A general order will be issued as
soon as practicable thereafter, announcing
the companies assigned TO that service. The
captains Of companies were called together
at once, and the order communicated to
them. There is a probability that several
companies now in camp will accept.
HUsKETs.
The muskets which have been provided,
give the camp g much more military ap-
pearancs than it before possessed. Many
squads were being drilled yesterday in
handling arms. u

PERRY LIGHT 1SrAsrRY.
Capt. Hayward's company, known IS the
Perry Guards, have changed their name to
that of Perry Light Infantry. They drilled
last evening at the Atheneum in presence
Of large party Oflsdies and gentleman, and
the Skll with which they executed various
maneuvrss were greeted with frequent ap-
plause. The company is an unusually fine
one, and will be a matter of pride to the
city. s5c

NKRB RUNoR.
There is arumor-and as such merely, it
is given-thst q military gentleman with
in the con6nes of Camp Taylor, has been
accused Of late, by his brother officers, of
breathing rather hard o. nights, little after
the style Of martial trump, which, al
though perhaps not ungrateiul to the ear,
is somewhat detrimental to slumber. The
gentleman IN question bore meekly FER
time with the expostulstons, but finally,
becoming some what aroused thereby, burst
out one day with the announcsmentthatthe
whole thing was contounded hoax, as he
we'll knew from having lain awake all one
night, during which time be had been un-
able to hear anything Of the kind whatso-
ever. This, Of course, put the matter at
rest
RBEsPLPER BOX. ~
The newspaper boz is said to work admi-
rsbly;, Yesterday about two barrels of pa
pers were sent into camp, through the box
and in other ways, which we're distributed
among the men.

Camp Taylor Hospital, and hereafter the pa

their muster roll to Columbus, intending to
enlist for the three years service. They
number 80 men, and viii fill up to 100 or

EINETEENTH REGnlNT.
This hne regiment will undoubtedly receive
orders TO hold an election of regimental Of

candidates, We are informed are, Captain
Beatiie of the Canton City Guards, for Col
Onsl, Capt. KOnkle of Co. B. Akron Lieut.
enant Colonel, and Capt. Buckley of Go. A.
