regulations. An order has been issued pro

I his goes against the grain with several Of the
soldiers, who own their horses. II is said
that one Of the Hussars thought very
strange when the sentinel refused 70
allow the soldier to ke his horse out for a
ride. a Brunswick Light Horse Guard did
not want TO believe that the sentinel was
doing the square thing. 4 Liberty Inds-
pendent Trooper, 1t is said. became indignant
because he suspected that be had been
duped.
CAMP BKD-FELLoW.
Some of the soldiers have become little
restless at night for scratching their shins
and arms. Until Yesterday they did not
know what 10 attribute the itching seBsa-
ton %. Lieut.. Bierne Gordon was the first
man 10 discover that red bugs were sowing
themselves broadcast over his body. When
the alarm was sounded every soldier set
about TO hunting up the little fellows. All
the idle moments in camp are now devoted
% massacreing the reds The soldiers
have suffered alike, and it would be easier
now 70 run them into war than into a
patch Of bushes.
the First Georgia regiment is the pride
OF Infantry Hill 1t is Col Olmstead's old
regiment. and he takes great deal Of pride
in It, He ate dinner to-day with Capt
Brooks and Lieut. Nell, and be spends much
of his time among the boys. 1t is the most
quiet portion Of the camp.
SPARED MUCH MISERY.
The only musical instrument among that
body OF soldiers is a violin in camp 3 of
the Oglethorpe Light Infantry. They keep
things lively in that district when the
officers are absent and the men are idle.
To-day they had the biggest kind Of
dance, and the soldiers from the other tents
stood out and enjoyed the fun. The cleanli-
ness Of the First regiments quarters has
attracted great deal Of attention, also.
The Irish Jasper Greens are generally a
quiet set Of me3, but the two irrepressi bles,

make Rome howl when they are sure
nobody will catch up with them. Being on
the thoroughfare Of the camp, howeve-,
where the sentinels are on duty, and where
various officers are constantly passing, the
boys are held back and their ontbursts Of
fun and mischief are seldom.
FUN AMONG THE oGLETHoRPEs
Privates Usina and Cohen of the Ogle-
thorpe Light Infantry furnished some
amusement for the Oglethorpes last night.
Usina retired smoking a cob pipe aud set
the mattress on fire. A rubber snake was
put under Cohen's quilt, and when he re-
tired he felt the cold rubber sticking to
his shins, and with grand leap aud shout
he sprang into the middle Of the street
crying ''Snakep Cohen said that he knew
what it was all the time but he wanted
chance TO hoilo. Nobody Knows who put
the snake in the bed. The officers found the
affair shrouded in mystery when an inves-
tigation was made.
WHEN TIE BLUES HAVE FUN.
Capt. Dixon of the Blues has quiet set
OF men, except when they get out of camp
and start to Augusta. There is a profess
sional singer in the crowd and he kept the
woods full Of music clean into the city.
Troupe Durham was caught on guard detail
last night and he found good deal of work
in 1t. He came in after twenty-four hours
service and said hanged" if he hadn't
'ruther" be Savannah policeman. Capt.
Dixon said he is observing the good
effects OF camp life upon the men
already. He believes they learn more
in camp in ia week than they learn at
home in great many weeks. The exercises
are varied, and the men have an opportun-
ity to profit by the work of others as we'll
as by their own instruction. Somebody
presented the captain with large, ,handsom g
cake last night at the Knights Of Pythias
bazar in Augusta, and for the first time in
long while the captain of the Blues was
embarrassed. He looked at the cake a
second and broke it up amongst the men
standing by him.
