Military Matters.
The field and staff of the Seventh
Regiment, N. G. N. j., will appear in
camp this year with an entirely new set
of horse equipage saddle, bride and
blanket. They have been manufactured
for them by firm 10 Philadelphia. The
privates will wear for the first time new
blouses, which have been made from
measurement under the supervision of
Quartermaster General PerriDe.
The Adjutant of a regiment is sup
posed to know almost everything pertain
ing to military matters, so that he can
answer questions promptly, know every
body and know where to find everything.
Adjutant Van Solver, of the Seventh
Regiment, has been to camp a number of
times and generally goes prepared to ac-
commodate all who call upon him for in
formation or supplies. We saw list of
articles, the other day, which he was pre-
pairing for use at camp. Itran something
like the following: Pens, ink, paper,
envelopes, blanks, nails, screws, tacks,
string, stamps, carpet, lamp, oil, matches,
bands, brushes (tooth, hair, clothes and
blacking), backing, combs, looking glass,
towels, sponge, soap, mucilage, needles
and thread, pillow, scissors, slippers,
clock, &c. Many of tho above sundries
are for the accommodation of the boys,
who upon going into camp for the first
time do not think to take all they may
require. The Adjutaut has been making
chest with necessary compartments to
hold and have everything in it's place.
Besides all this, he had to attend to the
preparation of uniforms, send out all Or
ders, write letters of instruction, study
tactics, prepare blanks, rosters and other
documents. At camp the real work just
begins, and for six days there is very little
spare time. 1t requires patience and per-
severance to accomplish all this, for it is
lot we'll done it not done pleasantly.
