Migratory in our habits of late, We Gi
have been ON the wing again. Our flight, not Sc
from the enemy. and by no means extended, 4
terminated in sudden perch upon this place. n
where We are now securely nestled amidst the B
foliage Of locusts that line the bunk Of the Susque-
hanna, ut the rear of our quarters
Yesterday morning at the tap of the drum a
every tent on Camp Andrews fell at the same d
moment, preparatory to the departure Of Com
pany O. from Elkton, aud at nine O'clock In
special train, we left, and were deposited here,
where we now remain the other companies east
of this place, who had been removed in the same
| train, proceeding down the road We Immediately
went into quarters. concluding that for the nonce
VIC would dispense with our tents which had
protected us 20 long, discardiug them as some
do an old FRIEND after having found new one
but learning that there was supposed TO be some
little spice in variety, we wished to test tue
change, to determine il it applied to campaign
ing as well as other things, and now instead oil
having a canvass over US we are covered with
roof which if it does resemble some OF the new
city churches in that the shingles md ratters
are visible from the Interior still il is mperylous
to water, which is the primary consideration
We think we are rather pleased nj the change so
lar as we are able to judge.
CHANGING around the apartment occupied by
the officers we find comnodious room well
lighted three tables Of rough construction, upon
/, one of which are placed water bucket, hooks
/. stationery and other articles, stand upon the
"a floor the repositories of the clothing are scat
.r tered carelessly about; swords, pistols coais,
III vests and dry goods generally hang from wooden
in 'pees driven in the walls hunks not dlssitmaf

Ter some lnt have found their way here, grace the
room, having rather q pretentious appearance
ay and withal luxurious; the rear windows OVERLOOK
