CAMP DICKEY, Aug. 90.

CAMP DICKEY, Aug. ~.
When the sun rose on Camp Dickey
Tuesday morning, it found some of the
gallants of the Second brigade rather
damp and cold from their night, of rain.
As the morning advanced, however,
everything wore in shape. At 8 o'clock
guard of about 100 men was mounted in
formally, and duly posted about the
camp. Battalion drill occupied all the
regiments for couple of hours, and was
on the whole, creditable considering that
year had elapsed since the last drill by
regiment. After dinner nothing was done
till dress parade at 5 o'clock, except that
the Sth regiment was led out for a
further battalion drill At 5 o'clock
the assembly for regimental dress pa
| rade was sounded, and soon after the
ceremony was completed, The perform
ance should not be too closely criticised,
being the first attempt of the week.
Several companies were without gloves,
one regiment was at a carry when the
adjutant directed the first captain to
bring his company to parade rest and all
were evidently affected with little par =
donable nervousness, which day or two
more will cure The dress parade of the
brigade was very good and the regiments
made SOLID and imposing appearance in
line of masses. Everything about the
ceremony seemed to be reasonable sues
cessful and at its conclusion Gov. Ogles>
by, who was there to witness the parade,
briefly addressed the brigade which was
formed for the purpose on three sides oil

believe in allowing the state troops to b.

POSTAL CARDS.


For some days past there has been u
general deficiency all over the coun-
try in the supply of postal cards
Postmaster HAYES, when interviewed this
morning on the subject, said the lack of
sufficient supply had been greatly felt
here. He had been Obliged to lend Mo-
line five thousand yesterday and now had
only an equal number to cary him over
until more come. The reason of the de-
tciency Is thus explained; The contract
with the old contractors for furnishing
postal cards was not renewed, but new
contract with C. c. Woolworth, of Cas-
Teton, N. Y, was entered into on July /,
with former prices. At that time it was
estimated that their were sufficient postal
cards to last until Sept. 1, on which date
the new contractors were to begin furn'
ishing supplies. The new contractor is
behind over a week from the date stipu'
lated when he should have begun to prin
the cards. As consequence of this delay
nearly every large postoffice in the Uni
ted States has run short of cards. ThirC
Assistant Postmaster General Hazen ha
been to Castleton investigating the cause
of the delay and says he hopes to be abb
to supply all acquisitions of postmaster
within few days. The progress ant
character of the work being done by tn
new contractor, Mr. Woodwork, is not
he says, entirely satisfactory to the post
master general. Should the cards. how
ever, not come up to the contract stand
ard, the government has ample remedy
as under the contract the postmaster gen
eral can pay for them when he pleases. II
also has remedy for delay. Mr.. Haze
says the contractor promises when b
does get fairly to work to turn out /, 500.
900 cards per day, which, if he begin
soon, should quickly supply all shorLag
es. A change in the design and color 0
the card now in use, may also cause delay
