the time of leaving will be given. Most

THE ENGINEERS.
Captain Mills, recruiting officer for
the engineers, was expecting Colonel
Young yesterday, and wishes he would
arrive here, so that he could do some
thing in this matter. He does not
know who will be the examining sur

General orders II, headquarters of
the army, received yesterday, pub
lished for the benefit of both regulars
and volunteers, would seem to cover
that point all right, for it says: In
the absence of a commissioned medi-
cal officer or contract surgeon, recruit
ing officers are authorized to employ a
civilian physician to make the exam
ination of recruits, preceding enlist
ment, required by the army regulations,
at a compensation of 40 cents for each

work will begin in earnest.
