Col. Brown stated bo had received no notice aa to the movement of troops yet ‘Thought tbe only motive to do so would be to place troops in close range of tbe government com missary departments. CapL Hopkins, Co. A, was officer of tbe day and Lieut. Stephens was offi- cer of guard for First Regiment yee> terday, while Capt Nash was officer of tbe day and Lieut. Simmons was officer of guard for Second regiment.
