LIFE AT THE POST.
Some Things Dick Hoskins Saw
at Fort Russell

Dick HOskins, who arrived home from
Cheyenne yesterday morning, in an in
terview regarding the volunteers at Fort
Russell. says that the boys were all
doing we'll when he left Their uniforms
and clothes were furnished them on the
day of his departure. Each man received
from the Government a uniform, two
suits of underclothes, twelve pairs Of
socks and a pair Of heavy regular army
shoes. Before receiving the above nam
ed apparel he says that the boys were a
little bit ION the rocks for clothes. as
some of them did not take the required
garments with them when they left Car
son.
Dick failed to pass the examination on
account of his defective oversight, and
Colonel Torrey kept him there despite
this fact, thinking, perhaps that he could
appoint him as chief bugler of the rtgi-
ment. Dick was acting i'll this capacity
until he got his discharge, having -
buglerS under him.
The boys occupy the barracks formerly
used by the regulars, and their quarters
are very comfortable, almost to being
luxurious. They are fitted with porce-
lain-lined bath-tubs, billiard tables, and
other modern appliances constructive to
comfort. There are 1000 men i'll camp
and so far they have only los head OF
horses. Dick speaks of Colonel TOrrey
in the highest TERMS, and says that he
bears the love and respect of every man
in camp.
