WAR DEPARTMENT
HALTS ENLISTMENTS
But Intention Can Be Declared Await
ing Appropriations.

ing APpropriatlons.
All National Guard enIistments were
stopped yesterday by order of the War
Department.
Although the department declined to
state the reason for the order, II was
the general understanding in militia
circles that no more men will be taken
into the guard until Congress has ap-
propriated the money to pay for these
new men.
The militia recruiting headquarters,
however, remained open at Fort Myer,
Va, and all applicants were requested
to sign a blank. declaring their inten-
ton OF joining the National Guard
when they should be called upon: This
method, 1t is believed, will build UP a
sort of unofficial civilian reserve from
which additional enlistments may be
obtained when needed.
The orders of the War Department
were received by Gen. william E. Har-
vey yesterday morning. He immedi-
ately drafted a new set or militia in
structions. based on the departments
edict. The new orders call for no
present enlIstments. but indicate that
within a few weeks the District Guard
probably will be told to recruit itself
to full war strength. which is about
$50 men to the company. At the
present time. District Guard companies
range in numbers from o5 men. the
lowest possible figure allowed. to 100
men, which is about peace strength.
At the l. Street Armory it was said
the recruiting station had been closed
temporarily and all applicants were
being referred to Fort Myer.
There was plenty of work for the
District Guardsmen in their camp at
Fort Myer yesterday aside from re-
cruiting. Fighting the gale that swept
the Virginia hills was a days work in
itself. but the Guardsmen toiled all
day whipping their new camp into
shape. laying out new roadways paths
and bitches. building cook shacks and
setting up the company tents.
The mud that worried the Guards
men on Friday was being rapidly dried
by the high winds that ragged through
the camp all day. Temporary officers
quarters have been established at the
Fort Myer Band Barracks. The Y. n.
C. A. authorities are planning to have
a building Of their own erected at the
camp. and already a reglmental ex-
change has been put into operation
where the men can get tobacco. candy
and the like.

act as filter to pass off this poison. If the excess is
not excreted by the kidneys, is distributed thru the
tissues. The choice sites for such storage are in the

sweet potatoes and beef liver for
supper.
Monday, March 6, 1866.
This morning we were awakened
at $3.50 and after rubbing our eyes
crawled out after half nights rest,
emphatically wishing we were not
soldiers. Had our breakfast eaten
and everything packed up by day.
light. We had reduced our baggage
about half by sending away or sell
ing it. The four men in our mess
had had twelve blankets during the
winter and we had only seven left
and no tents but pup tents. At sum
rise Ordinance Officer Lieutenant
Clingerman's wagon came around
and we loaded in the forge, all our
tools, material, rations and bedding,
and started off, taking our position
in the train just in the rear of the
second division headquarters wagon.
We marched very steadily all day in
a northeasterly direction, towards
Newbern, making about seventeen
miles and going into camp about 4:30
p. m. The country over which we
marched was very low, sandy and
level. In places it was swampy and
looked like barren waste, being COW
cred with small long-leaved or pitch
pine trees, which had been tapped
for turpentine by scraping off the
bark about ten inches wide and
twelve or fifteen feet high, and in
such a manner as to leave the axe
scars inclining towards the center,
so that the pitch would run off a
point at the bottom into a box cut
in the tree at its roots. There were
also some live oaks, sycamore, post
oak (white -oak), black oak and some
smaller evergreens that l did not
know the names of. Most of the
oaks were covered with Spanish moss,
which, as it hung down in long, gray
ish, dangling clusters, gave to the
trees very venerable, yet comfort
able, appearance. We would fire.
quently come to a creek or pond of
water without apparently descending
at all from the clear white sand,
audit seemed as though you could
find water everywhere by digging
three or four feet into the sand. The
water was all of a I've color and look
ed unfit for use. The road, most of
the way was plank, badly worn, yet
made better travelling than the clear
sand. The houses were poor, and
few and far between, and the in
habitants and stock looked the same.
A little after noon we came in sight
of the seashore, and could see the
white. breakers, several feet high, as
they broke in white foam on the
beach. We obtained a few sweet po-
tatoes today, and some Of the boys
got hams, honey and eggs. We pass
ed some old rebel camping grounds,

ed breastworks.
