To-day. although Sunday, was a busy day
among the military in camp here. Hon.
Russell 4. Aiger. the Secretary Of War
paid a flying visit to Camp Cuba Liore'
and the fourteen regiments passed in
review before him.
The ranks Of the several regiments
looked rather thinned out, owing to sick
ness and Burroughs. The Fourth Nir-
,,inla. however, compared fayorably with
the remainder IN that respect, and as far
as marching and alincment was con-
corned. il certainly set the usual good
example TO the balance Of the military.
inst about retreat time Secretary Al
ger and party drove along the Rock Road
between the camps OK the Fourth Viz
ginia and Forty-ninth Iowa Regiments.
The lack Of time prevented mo Inspection
OF either camp, although both regiments
had done their very best 20 put their
quarters and streets In iirst-class condl-
ton.
TO GO TO CUBA.
II seems now 10 Dee settled fact that
the first troops will be moved from here
10 Cuba about the middle Of next month.
The men Of the FOrty-uinth Iowa and
Of the Ninth Illinois regiments have. ms
L have been informed this afternoon,
received orders 10 prepare themselves to
leave for Cuba by October 18th. and in
all likelihood the troops VIII embark right
here in Jacksonville.
The Fourth Virginia and the Forty
ninth Iowa Regiments from the Third
Brigade OF the Second Division. and the
place OF the Second Virginia Regiment
the third one Of the brigade, has not
vet been flied. IL is generally surmised
however. that all the brigadcs and di-
visions Will be rcorgauized. Under these
circumstances it IS not very probable that
the Fourth Virginia Regiment will be or
dered away simultaneously with the Iowa
REGIMENT. and II is generally believed that
the Virginians will remain here until Cen
eral Lee is prepared TO remove his head
quarters TO Cuba.
DESERTERs.

The much-i0oked-for paymaster made
his appearance i'm the Fourth Regiment

WAS I'm command. ordering the men back

him ne,rly the remainder OF the day 20
