NIT. EDITOR
 For the information of the public, you will obige the Military Board by publishing the en- closed teegraphic dispatch from the Secretary of War.
 Camps will be established at the following points, as suggested by the secretary of war, for the sub sistence and payment of volunteers raised under my late proclamation, to- wit:
 At Camden, Ouachita county.
 At Washington, Hampstead county. At Philadelphia, Clark county.
 At Little Rock, Pulaski county.
 At Dardanelle, Yell county.
 At Clarksville, Johnson county.
 At Fayetteville, Washington county. At Carrollton, Carroll county.
 At Jacksonport, Jackson county. My understanding is, that the men will be sub sisted as they raised that is, so soon sol dier enlists, he can be put in camp and fed. The above camps will be reported to Secretary Benjamin by dspatcb and doubtless he will order the subsistence to be furnished, and bounty money paid, as indicated, promptly With these facilities, we hore the people will all volunteer rapidly. Each paper in this state will subserve the public interests by giving this information publicity

Novrt. MopE OF c ARRIVING THE MAIL.

NovEL MoDE OF CARRYING THE MAILs.-- The rebels in the lower counties of Mary land are so closely watched by the Union troops that they find 1t difficult to commu- nicate with their friends in Virginia. Their last dodge is the most novel which has yet been put into operation:
 "A large kite is made; covered with oil silk so as to render 1t impervious to water. The tail is formed by folding letters or news papers together, and tying them with 9 loop-knot---eaeh letter, or perhaps two let ters together, forming abag. When the tail IS as heavy as the kite can convenient ly bear up under, cord long enough. to reach abont two thirds of the way across the river is attached, and the kite raised in the air. After the kite has exhausted the string, or has reached sufficient height, the cord is cut, and the concern, gradually descending, Is borne by the breeze to the Virginia shore, where the bobs are taken off by those in waiting, and new ones for their sympathizing friends in Maryland tied on in their stead. With the first favorable wind back comes the kite to the Maryland shore, and vice versa"
 Although nishaps sometimes occur to the mail by sudden change in the wind waiting 1t into the river, as general thing the dodge is successful. By this means, large numbers of letters and northern news papers find their way into Virginia. r Express.

 1t is only F month, old tho 26th instant, and weighs about 70 pounds. It is fe- male, has well balanced iound head, coy cred with beautiful black hair; its eyes are grey, keen and intelligent. It is very sprightly, full of play and mischief. It measures three inches larger around the waist than it's mother, and weighs twice as much as it's brother, who is three years old. Its flesh Is soft as silk. and from the over amount of fat, you can scarcely feel bone about it. The flesh runs in rolls even around the fingers. It is worth going to see.
