TIE CrTADEL.-Accepting the polito invitation
OF one OF the ofdcors, we were present on Sunday
morning at The regular weekly inspection Of the
9th United States Infantry, stationed at tho Cta-
del The Regiment is commanded by Breyt Brig

we noticed great change In the appearance Of
tho building and grounds since last wo visited
them. The Citadel like every public building in
this part OF tho United Statcs and especially such
as were used for barracks or prisons during the
late war, with tho return OF paaoe found sadly
out Of repair. Nearly $50 900 have been expended
by the United States Government, to mako il
habitable. Tho quadrangle within hos been neatly
1evelled and yster) shelled; the roof, walls, cell
ings, floors, etc., oil thoroughly renovated white
washed or painted. We accompanied the inspect
ing officer on his tour Though tho several apart
rnents, and were struck By tho remarkable
neaness, and excellent .police" everywhere ap-
parent. We have seen soldiers in France, England
md Germany, and know something Of the neat
trim and erect appearance OF thoroughly trained
regulars and free to say that tho 9th do not
suffer much in the comparison.
Guard is mounted ovory day at A. H., and pa
rade at sundown, the baud playing each time. In
spection is held by the company officers every day.
and on Sunday mornings by the cemmandLnt Of
the Citadel and Post.

Carriers Of wood perambuiatins tho square within
