Only one or two soldier boys were put
In the guard house yesterday, ard they
were suffering from 'susstroke."
Lieutenant Stevenson very politely in
vited six OF the demlmone, who had
taken possession Of one OF the tents, to
please take walk. They walked outside
the lines and then sested tn smselves on
the ground and sat dFiuking and smoking
cigarettes, with their ieet elevated In the

The camp was visited by q large num-
Der yesterday, and the dress parade after
supper was the military feature OF the
day. The. Officers and men looked every
iLch soldiers as they formed In line, and
Drum Major Higgins, with his bedazzliLg
uniform, was The biggest man in the
parade, as his duties require him to go
through q numter of evoluticDs while
getting the men ready to receive orders.
What would the army do without the
drum inajoEsi
Delaware, although little state,
should have larger military force. Our
militia does not grow. rs It should in
numbers. The boys loon get tired of
playing soldier, AMI dislike TO perform
even the duties that camp life impose
on them, but they arc doing very well
thus lar this year.
Colonel Marshall says he wants to
make our militia thing Of the present
and futcre and not q ting of the past,
and no invites the cooperation Of both
officers end men TO help him make Is so.
The camp is laid out better this year than
last, but General Kenney says It does not
yet suis him, snd ha would have had the
tents turned around Oh a straight llna
with the officers tents had he not been
taken sick and confined to the hotel the
day the tents were pitched. The General
appears TO have the good of the militia mt
heart, and is interchangeable In bis exer-
tions to promote Its welfare at all times.
General Layaeld arrived In camp last
evening and will attend until IL breaks
up.

the boys sing his praises in the loudtst

tent, of which the .teh string is out at
all times to his friends.
The good-natured butcher In the Sec
