We understand that at the suggestion Of

GlandiEs, the Department, the Secretary OF War
has transferred to the first named officer the
control of all OF the oontrabands formerly quar-
tered st the cortraband camp. north of this
city. The object OF this transfer is TO enable
Lieut.. Col. Greene to cultivate the farms on the
south side OF the Potomac, in the vicinity OF
this city, abandoned by the former rebel owners.
The dwelling houses and quarters on theze
farms, which have survived the fortunes OF
war, Will Re sufficient to aecoT1n odate the

and for additional buildings. It is proposed
to plant corn and niiliet, and to cut and cure
the grass, ESTIMATED 70 make more than 10GG0
tons of Lay,> SO as TO partially supply with
forage the public animals in the department;
also, to establish a garden farm for vegetables
on the Arlington estate. tbs garden can be

Portable barracks in which they have been

are engaged III is what they have been aocus-
toned to and are peculiarly fitted for; and,
Iaboring under happier auspices than hereto
