CAN GO TO FORTRESS MONROE.
But the Howitzers Want TO Camp Whore
There VIII Re Fun.

The United States Government IS anxious
for the hight artillery batteries of the
volunteer service who 60 into encamp-
ment this summer TO visit the forttca-
tons Of the country, and spend their time there
IN practice with the heavy guns
According 10 tins arrangement the H0wiizers,
II they 80 desire, can pitch their TENS al Fortress
Monroe. The cannOnoers, however, do not APP
pear 10 take kindly 20 this scheme, a. they would
be subject TO rigid discipline, aud. moreover,
would have but little time to frOhc and enjoy
themselves. Some Of the members OF tho pat
terry say that the priyates and non-comInissionei
officers OF their organization, in case they went
to Ola Point, would be placed on exactly the
same footing with the United states regulars
and would, therefore, be debarred ali social
privileges.
As the HowitZors bear the expenses Of their
encampment they viii, OF course, have tho right
10 choose whatever locality they please Tor their
summer trip, ana IL Is hardly probable that they
will accept the offer OF the government. There
is no doubt that the Richmond arullerynen
could gain valuable experience by visit TO
fortress Monroe, but IL Is hardly 20 be expected
thai the men, who for the most part will be-
taking the sine allowed for their summer Naca-
tions, viii DO willing 10 undergo 80 many hard
ships lust for tho sake OF military knowledge.
Tho Howitzors have not yet decided what
placo they VIII select for their oncaInpnent, bat
ibey will take with them their four cannon and
Toe Calling gun, and win practice regularly
with the pieces.
The Assistant Adiutant-Generalo Of the United
States army VIII visit this city in few days.
