"CANr Lee"

We ebould be very glad, indeed. II
thro,,gb the efforts Of the Chamber OF
commerce and the Young Mems Business
Association our Exposition Grounds
should be turned into a camp OF inStruc-
zion and military rendezvous again They
sre .Iiaibly located for a camp, ana
,hopoh the present necessities of the mill
t,-y situation seem 90 require the assem-
bling of the troops far from here the
grounds may come in very "handily'
indeed. later on in the war.
OF old. that tract of land was a part
OF the Hermitage farm, which belonged
,o the MAYO family into which General
Winfield Scott married. Il was bought
lev the Agricultural Society and converted
into "the new Fair-Grounds' just prior
20 the war. About that time it had been
occupied as a camp for the Virginia cav
airy VINO met there for drill and practice
in the art OF war.
The grounds were named by the cavalry
Camp Lee" ia honor of him who
ND 10 that time had been looked upon
as Virginia's greatest cayairyman-Lisht
Horse Harry Lee of the Revoluuon-the
father of Robert Il. Lee and Commodore
\. 5. Lee, and, Therefore, the grand
father of Fitz Lee.
When in 1851. these grounds were put
TO military use again, the name Of Camp
Lee was revived and continued. But most
people enormously fancied that the place
was named after Robert T.. Lee.
camp lee" was a suitable name before
the last war. was suitable during that
war. and would be popular and suitable
during the present war.
We have said that the government may
not need these grounds now, but it may
need them later on. SO we commend the
forethought and enterprise of the Youns
Mems Business Association and Chamber
of Commerce. and trust, if the war is to
be- of considerable duration, that their
action will be successful in drawing the
attention of the War Department TO the
fact that Richmond is a good, convenient
place for the mobilization Of troops from
several of the States, and that the Expo
sition-Grounds could be easily turned into
an excellent new Camp Lee.

"rNIrEp STATES VOLUNTEERS"

The Dispatch doubts If the measure,
generally known as the War Department
bin. which has passed the United States
House OF Representatives, ana been favor
ably reported from the Senate Com
,nittee on Military Affairs, is generally
understood here.
That bill does not propose 70 do away
with the volunteer, or National Guard,
examinations. where companies, bat
talions. or regiments volunteer for ser
vice at home or abroad. Indeed, its aim
Is TO make immediate use of our citizen
soldiery to invade Cuba and defend our
coasts. But it does not follow that these
UNITED states volunteers" Will ali be or
dered to Cuba. 1t is by no means Ser
tain" that any will be; but We regard it
as probable that some OF them may.
All the officers and men of company
that volunteers Will he subject to exam
ination by medical officers. The company
officers Will also be subject TO eXamina-
ton as TO their fitness for the positions
they hold; but badly needed as troops
soon will be. this examination will not
be rigid. Battalion and rcgimental OFF,
GERS will be subject 10 the same rules and
regulations as company officers. As for
the period OF enlistment, that IS now
10 be reduced to one year, and is to be
terminated earlier by an earlier close of
the war.
There Is no substantiation of the report
that the troops for the invasion of Cuba
will be taken exclusively from the South.
As ve said yesterday, Secretary A!gcr
positively denies that the government
ever entertained the idea. The probable
fly is that the first soldiers hur-
rlod across to Cuba viii be regulars.
But first our navy must capture q port
at which our transports may land. This
viii probably be done by concert OF ac-
ton on the part OF the Gulf squadron and
the Cuban forces. u SIS understood that
such arrangements are now being made.
IL may be presumed that our government
wishes to land It's army before the great
