CAMP ALGER, August r.-The usual
routine duties of camp life are going on
i'm the Virginia camp, and everything is
very quiet.
The hour for holding guard mount has
again been changed, and the men are
formed on the hill at $50 A. NJ. the old
hour, instead of at Z. NJ. Sentinels are
now required to walk four hours on
stretch, instead of two, as heretofore.
After the four-hours' tour Is over they
come off for eight hours. For instance,
one detail goes on at o'clock at night,
and is not relieved until midnight. Why
this latter plan was adopted the men do
not know, and they consider IL a very
poor one. A man on guard four hours, one
after another has a hard time keeping
wide awake at night, and the men de
cidedly prefer the old way.
large detail of men from this -egi-
ment were sent over last night 10 act as
sentinels in the big show tent. situated
near the Eighth Pennsylvania Regiment.
The men are not usually anxious Tor
guard duty, but the prospect OF witness
ing the performance on the inside caused
a wild rush to be made for places on the
detail, which was soon filled up. The squad
marched over, envied by their comrades
but when they reached the tent they were
informed that there would be no per-
formance that night, and they had 70

diers.

commissioned officers will be started In
