SUPPLIES FOR NEW REGIMENTs.-we have
heard frequent complaints, of late, In regard to
the beef and other food supplied TO the new
| regiments when they first arrive here. One
regiment which we know, were furnished with
stale, hard crackers, In many Of which maggots
had already found a Judgment, while the

ecrable. A friend In the regiment, who has
been In the Strengthening business, and processes
to know something Of the anatomy of an OK,
declares positively that the bones he saw In the
beef never grew inside the hide of an OK or cow,
but were certainly those Of horse or mule, the
bones Of the latter being of a peculiar form.
This regiment would not submit to the fare,
and emptied the contents of the beef and bread
barrels before the door of the quartermaster,
who fortunately took the hint, and thereafter
| good beef, both salt and fresh, and fresh bread
were furnished. Somebody has stale meat and
bread 10 dispose Of, and supplies the same to
green regiments as long as they will submit to

FIRST DISTRICT REGIMENT.-We visited the
| camp of this noble regiment last Saturday.
The encampment is about half-mile out Of
Alexandria, on the Orange and Alexandria
railroad. 1t Is In a level, pretty, and healthy
location, and the "boys" seem TO enjoy camp
life. Colonel TAFT Is now acting brigadier.
The lieutenant colonel is In this city, and the
| command of the regiment devolves on Major
Morrison. This regiment is one of the best In
the field, and has won golden opinions from the
| superior officers. We are glad tosbe able to re-
| port the regiment In excellent health. There
are but few, If any, on the sick list, and we are
assured that there is not a regiment in the field
which will compare, in point of health, with
from In lima anti rad tl,a ta
is due to the fostering care of the officers and
thegood habits of the men. ...
Work IN THE QUARTERMAsTER GENERALS
OFFIoE.--As an instance of the vast amount of
work which presses upon the different branches
of the War Department, we may state that In
the Quartermaster Generals Office alone, $780,
OO0, 900 worth Of accounts ofquartermasters and
others yet remain unanalyzed, though large
force has been engaged In this duty.
In view Of this great accumulation, and the
| heavy increase OF work, the Quartermaster
General is having the two large buildings ad-
joining Winder's Building, on Seventeenth
street, fitted up for the accommodation of an
additional force, for which 1t is the purpose to
ask Congress, and the greater portion of which
1t is said will be composed of ladies'.
