inspector general Of the artillery brigade
This made every one of the boys huatle as
they were only allowed about an hours
time in which to prepare the whole camp
for inspection. This included thorough
cleaning of horses, harness and pieces.
However, Yohen the inspector arrived every
thing was III ship-shape order. and Lieut.
Col Rodney passed quite compliment on
the appearance of the battery as a whole
Eacn battery of the brigade was also in
spected this morning. but only three of
them were inspected as a mounted battery.
This gave rise to the ruulor that THE bat

were the ones to be ordered out, bat the
men of the battery have long since found

reports that are continually being circulated
throughout the camp.

of negro boys among the spectators became
involved in a quarrel, and before any one
could realize what was happening one of
them was found lying on the ground, bleed
