They number I suppose nearly 100 men, and bavo as many Cavalry hcrsns, full 00 out of which are in good condition and capable of rendering effectual service Provender scemod to bc plenti ful, procured as I was informed by the vigilen t exertions of the Captain aiid his subalterns, and to a considerable extent nt-their own expenso The stalls uro kept in order. Tho whole encamp ment iu fact presents to thc View tho appearance of noatness and industry. They haye a temporary hospital under the direction of a de vor young man, who gives good attention tobie patients. He had only three under his charge. Almost all the boys appeared to be addicted to industrious habits, und what is still more, they mostly seemod to bo piouji. Before retiring to rest they assembled tcgotber and publicly offered prayer to tho living tiod.
