DiAa LooAL.-Sines my last, We have had
quite change in the programme here. Capt.
MeCoy's company has left for Fort Abcrcrom-
bio, and been replaced by Co. B, 9th Reet
Capt. Petit, from Forest City and Manannah.
Capt. p. is At present absent. on leave, but 10
expected in day or two. His company Is ,
6ns looking, we'll conducted set Of men, and
quite. contrast to q part of the company
which they replace. Capt. Mccoy is kind
hearted gentleman and . christian, in his deal
ings with all men. But his company is cursed
with the presence Of few men-river desper-
ADDE'S and city pimps, who, when they can get
liquor, make u regular hell upon earth Of the
command. The rest Of the company are we'll
disposed, peaceable fel1ows-among them quite
. number Of educated and intelligent gentle
men. As understand that the use Of liquor
is prohibited at the Fort, it is to be hoped that
the officers Of the company will now have
truce to the annoyanees which have hitherto
beset them.
Capt. Taylor, with the increased force here,
is driving the work of fortifcs,ion with hisac-
customed energy and perseverance. The men
all like him and work with will under his
command. The Bastions, solid oak timber,
sawed, six inches thick. are now we'll unde,
way. The Hospital, which is outside the stock
ade. is 70 be moved into the enclosure in a few
days. Pcndegrasts large barn is being con-
verted into 9 Commissary Warehouse. which
will leave the present warehouses to be used
Is quarters for the men-a change much need
ed tor the sanitary improvement of quarters.
John Simonton 10 recovering slowly-sits up
part Of the .time-has had Inflammation Of the
lungs.
Martin WEIGH has had what he calls an ''im-
pression," kind Of a gathering about tho
heart" but he begins to see daylight, and a.
tor little more doping by the doctor, will
stand up to his fodder.
J. c. Wilson has undertaken the exposed and
dangerous duty of escorting the train, with can
non, on its way to Abercrombie. Re goes as
far - Alexandria,. His forlorn hope consists
Of fifteen men. History viii tell all about them.
Lieut.. Freeman has been astonishing the M
tives, and the rest Of mankind, by some won.
derful shooting, with his new Colts revolv-
ing riae;-at 225 yards, out Of Eve shots. he
put ball three times through the black spot
on the ace Of spades. He thinks that in this
kind Of drill he can challenge the world
Where the above ace Of spades came from, in
this moral community, is the mystery. 1.-THE
Lieut. carries them in his pocket, his friends
may be assured that he only uses them for tar
gets.
Capt. Taylor has had III. hu;, cut!
Mr.. Brent, Post Adjutant, Of Taylors COM
pany, and artist to the expedition, has had on
exhibition some very fine drawings. The
most striking are. life size sketch of Mat.
Mickey. in The pursuit Of spiritual csnsola-
ton under difficulties; the development of
pork and beans diet-the most fattening known
in Co. D, NJ. NJ. Rangers and . lively
sketch Of Mounted Infantry aud Foot Caval-
~. Mr.. b. bids fair to take place among
the Raphaels. Corresios and other what s-his-
names of antiquity. go.
Mr.. NATION is in the Commissary Depart
ment and gives general satisfaction. He has
had quite an experience in this way. Jesse
NJ. Darlington has been detailed As Hospital
Steward, and is very efficient in the discharge
Of bis duties.
Qusrtermaster Hughson is giving very eff
cient aid to Capt. Taylor in carrying on the
work here. His friends will be sorry to learn
that he has been several days laboring under
that dangerous disease which the doctors call
odon:algia.
Johny Grandelmyer is aourishing, and sends
his ''regards to al iuqulring friends"
Doctor Hugh Biggerstafis "fat," and hopes
that all his friends are ditto.
Yours truly. p.
MARRIED.
