purchases, and his course had afterwards
been approved. The first clothing receiv-
ed was not Of good quality, but 1t after
wards improved. However the men were
as a rule, glad enough 10 get anything
and there was no complaint. Indeed, the
troops had manifested a disposition to be
satisfied with whatever they received
Capt. Baker said that he attributed in
whatever delay had been experienced to
the necessity of equipping so large an
army in so brief time, and he thought
that under the circumstances it was no
greater than was to have been expected.
Explaining Gen. Lawton's selection of
the first camp here, he said Il was due to
the fact that the railroad company could
offer good facilities there, and TO the addi-
tional fact that water could be secured
conveniently. The site was low, and the
men were moved when the rainy season
began. Gen. Lawton had expected the
troops 10 be ordered almost Immediately
to Cuba. and this circumstance controlled
him entirely In the selection of the site
for the first encampment He said that
the volunteer regimentai quartermasters
had all worked hard 10 learn their bus-
ness, and that their service had been sat
isfactory.
Capt. Baker was followed by Col Curtis
Guild, Jr. Inspector general of the corps.
Col Guild said he had been on duty in
Jacksonville since June ]. he had made
1t his business 70 make an early morning
inspection of the camp each day with re-
gard to sanitation, and he knew that this
had been the custom of others in his de-
partment. He had also invented a form
of weekly report, which had given excel
lent satisfaction. Col Guild said he had
found the officers Of the volunteer forces
willing to accept suggestions. and in many
cases he had been thanked for them. He
had also made frequent inspections
of the hospitals. In the beginning there
was a lack Of government supplies for
these institutions but the deficiency had
been supplied by the Red Cross. The wit
ness testified to the devotion of the medi-
cal department, and referring to the inter-
est Of all in the care of the sick, he in
stauced the fact that in the recent cyclone
here moi single hospital tent had been
blown down. In some instances in this
emergency entire brgades turned out to
protect the hospitals and hold them down
Col. Guild mentioned some cases in
which goods had been received inApoor
condition. In one case a large lot of
canned beef had been received which was
putrid and efiervescent, but the contract
ors had replaced it with acceptable goods
The Second New Jersey had suffered on
account of the frequent changes of the
commissary, and they appeared to eXpe-
rence the want of food because of the ig-
norance of the officers of The regiment

Very truly yours,
CORPORAL JAMES o. BECKWITH,
Co. NJ, First VT, Volunteer Infantry.
Secretary of War Stanton used to say
that the best definition of rest is a change
of occupation. That may be true for one
in health, but a sick person needs to have
his digestion regulated his blood puri-
fed and his nerves invgorated. Paine 8
celery compound brings the sort of rest
the sick body requires through sleep and
nourishment.
Just as the great lawyer studies each
one of his cases till he knows 1t on every
side and in every possible aspect, so Prof.
Edward e. Phelps, NJ. D.. LID, OF
Dartmouth College, the discoverer of
Paines celery compound had studied the
nerves in health and disease, when we'll
nourished and when under -nourished, In
men and women and children years be-
fore he looked for the remedy. Paine's
celery compound was the outcome of his
entire professional life. A fitting memo
rial to a life of hard study and close OBJ
servation-a remedy that the world
could not lose to-day, at any pricel
Paine's celery compound calms and
equalizes all the nervous tissues and in
duces The body to take on solid flesh. 1t
purifies the blood, as is so clearly shown
by the rapid clearing of the skin of all
evidences of bad humors within. IL is an
infallible relief for salt rheum, eczema
and all blood diseases.

The soldiers who did the most good were

The soldiers who did the most good were
those who kept well.
There were plenty of brave men who
were Of little use when the time came,
because they took less care OF their
health than they did of their musket.
Malaria and other fevers soon picked
out these men much more unerringly than
the enemy's sharpshooters.
One set of men went about keeping well
In business-like way. They took Paines
celery compound at the first indications
of intestinal troubles, weakness. or when
fatigued and liable 70 fevers They used
Paine's celery compound to purify their
blood and put their health on a firm basis
as soon as they made up their minds to
join the service.
Corporal Beckwith thinks there was
great deal of needless sickness among
the volunteers. At Chickamauga many Of
his messmates followed his example and
fortified themselves against disease by
Pane's celery compound. and not man
of them had malaria or fever of any
sort or spent a day in the hospital
Corporal Beckwith writes

case in which there had been any suffer

was satisfied that all had been done for

lieved that as a rule the attendants could
not give the proper attention.
Asked if he was still of the opinion that
there would have been a shortage of sup
plies for the sick but for the activity OF
the Red Cross. Col. Guild said he had
changed his opinion somewhat, as he had

he was still of the opinion that there

Col Jones repeated his complaint about

that the water was bad. He said that OF

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Within four
hours from tho moment the order was
received by Captain Cook, commanding
the Brooklyn, to proceed to Havana, the
ship was speeding away on the high
seas. At 945 the order was sent and
at :S6 the ship had left Tompkinsville.
The Texas was telegraphed to leave for
Cuba at 4 o'clock and got away soon
after midnight from Hampton Roads.
Probably the Brooklyn will overhaul
her before she makes port. The Cas-
