From the Border.
One of the Palmetto regiments
will probably draw border guard
duty before many more weeks*
The plan appears to be to send
out regiments to guard the border
two weeks at a time and
then it is returned to the camping
place and another regiment
takes its place. Those organizations
which have been here.for
some weeks are now drawing
this border patrol duty but the
South Carolina organizations will
probably get their turn before
any great while.

with the Fort Mill company and
it is one of the joliiest messes in
camp. Capt. Parks is the boarding
house keeper while Lieut.
Hart is the rustler for the outfit
and they are both very capable,
so much so in fact that it has
been suggested that they go
into the boarding house business
when they get back to private
life and York county. They have
not yet agreed to do so, although
Lieut. Hart says that shopping
in El Paso is almost as exciting
as shopping in York ?Correspondence
