 | In going to and coming from Big Bug. last week we took occasion. while riding through Camp Whipple, to notice the improvements that | have been made recently We were particularly 1 pleased with the new log houses. six or eight in 1 number, that have been constructed this winter
 and which are used as quarters by inc cavalry
 company of which, ae we passed out to the | land of the Bug were whirling their sabrrs right and left. cutting at imaginary foes. Every place and thing around the post appeared well and clean. The men looked as though they received | their regular allowance of grub. and the animals
 were comfortably housed and in good order, ! from which drew the conclusion that no off

 No MoRE MrIEs--A friend of ours of un-

 discussing, and dissecting too. men and animals 1 in Uncle Samuel's service. heard one of the
 boys dilate upon the long quadruped. ! known formerly mules. Why. said the sol-
 dicr, there are no more mules in the service
 they have all been promoted c. the rank of brp-
 vet horses!" This brought the discussion to a
 focus, and all hands indulged in q regalaF horse
 laugh. at the expense, we suppose, of thc poor
 mules. That fellow deserves promotion for his
