AT CAMP LEE.

a letter from Richmond says the SOL
der boys at Camp Lee have seemingly
settled themselves down for long
stay there and are making themselves
as comfortable as possible, and making
the best of their home under the tents.
Most of the companies are now doing
their own cooking and the grounds are
dotted with little frame buildings,
roughly put together, and which are
used az kitchens. Those who before
they Joined the army had been wont to
complain of home cooking now feel a
pang of remorse as they struggle with
the viands that come from the company
kitchen. However, the boys who pre-
side at the stove improve in their know
ledge of the culinary art with each
meal and will soon be able to turn out
quite tempting repast.
There are now twenty-six companies
in camp. None arrived yesterday and
none will arrive until Friday, in order
to give the commissary time to make
, better arrangements for feeding the
men.
None of the regiments in yet are in q
condition to have battalion or regi.
mental drills, but company drills aud
squad drills take place every morning
and afternoon.
Captain Joseph E. Wizards new
company from Fairfax county will he
known as Company I, of the Third
Regiment. 1t is likely that this com
pany will be here by Sunday.
It is now definitely decided that the
Second and Fourth are the regiments
assigned to Tampa aud the Third to
Washington. 1t is said that the Wash
ington regiment may go to the Philip
pines.
When Captain T. E. Grimsley, Of
Company H, Third Regiment, muster.
ed in his company day or two ago
several men refused to volunteer. Cap
tain Grimsley took their uniforms from
them and drummed them out of camp.
The Richmond Dispstch says: The fret
regiment to be ordered away is the one that
has its full quota mustered in first. The Sec
ond lacks only three companies, while the
Third lacks five, and the Fourth seven. u
General Nalle adheres 10 his recent order that
companies be mustered in according to the
order of their arrival at camp, the Third will
be the last that is gotten ready, since Captain
Wizards company, of the Third, will be the
last to arrive
It is positively known that General Bitz-
hugh Lee is to command corps in
the volunteer amy Of invasion, which
is to follow close after the column OF
regulars under General Shafter. The
corps under General Lee will be made up
of troops On the ground when the expedition
is ready to leave Tampa, so the Yirginians
are DESTROYS of getting away as soon as posi-
BILE in order to be under General Lee.
No man can say when the troops will be
ordered away no man knows. But it would
seem, in view of recent communications from
the War Department to Governor Tyler, that
it will not be many houis after the first Beg
ment is ready before marching orders will
be received.
General Lee does not think that the war
will be Of long duration. and he is strongly
inclined to the belief that the army will have
little or no nghting to do.

OF ALL the developments of the pres
ent war, in respect of character, the
most despicable is that of the Spanish
pretender, Don Carlos, who avails him
self of the supposed opportunity afford
ed by his country's troubles at home,
while engaged in war with an over
whelming enemy abroad, to seek bis
own selfish, personal ends. He didn't
have many reputable friends before: he
should have none now. Low as JAMES
of England fell, he was a heightened
gentleman compared with Don Carlos
of Spain.

ACCORDING to Miss Clara Barton,
though the war with spain is waged in
behalf Of the starving reconcentradoes
in Cuba, the U. S. government is per-
uniting both Spanish prisoners and Gu
bans to suffer for food and drink al

committed in the name OF humanity a
in that OF liberty, Mohemmed declared
that hypocrites would fare worse than
any other rascals in the life beyond the
grave; but it is a fair presumption that
they do not believe in any such life.

on foot to make Gen. Fitzhugh Lee q
member of the Grand Lodge without
undergoing the Usual preliminaries, but
the general when approached in regard
to the subject, said. while he appreoiGt-
ed the honor, he would prefer being
initiated. Grand Master Duke author
lied one of the highest officers of the
lodge to say to General Lee that ne
would make him Mason "at sight,"
q perogative which he has the right to
exercise, but which has seldom been
done. General Lee, after considering
the matter. concluded that vhen he be.
came a Mason, he would rather go
through the usual formalities. The
general, in his hearty, outspoken man
ner said: II appreciate the honor in
tended, but I do not think 1t would be

ALLEGED FRENCH PRoPHECY.-The
Paris Patrie continues its violent cam.
paign against Americans. Every form
of insult is used, and startling head
lines lead its readers to believe that q
sort of anarchy reigus in the United
States.
The article, which is headed "Re-
member" tries to excite public opinion
by declaring that in 1870 America con-
graduated Germany upon its victory
over France as the triumph of civiliza-
ton over barbarism.
The Figaro has peculiar passage ex
tracted from the Compile de Beust's
book, entitled "The Last of the Ma
poleons." which appeared in 1870. AT.
ter blaming Europe for remaining simple
spectators of frances oppression in
1870. the Count says:
Europe entire will suddenly see the
American eagle, after having ravished
the Queen of the Antilles from Spain,
begin to NEEDLE with her affairs
and weigh down with redoubtable
hesvness the monsrchial destines of
little old Europe"
This prophesy, written twenty-eig ht
years sgo, which seems so likely to be
fulfilled, is attracting much attention.
