WHAT KNAPsAck SHOULD CoNTAN.-The
official regulations in louisiana enumerate as
follows: One blanket, one SHIRT, one undershirt,
one pair of drawers, three pairs Of socks, one
pair of shoes, one towel, one tin cup, one tin pan
or plate, one knife and fork, one cake of soap,
one handkerchief, piece of oil cloth to use uR-
der the blanket, and nothing else. No token of
friendship, no daguerreOtypes, no books, are
allowed. But we don't suppose there would be
any objection to a hair brush, a comb, tooth
brush, box Of backing shoe brush, little
looking glass, and scissors, with thread, needles
and pins. We suppose many ladies win be
called upon to pack the knaps ok of their vOlun-
teering friends. Let them make a note of the
above.
