By 11 o’clock yesterday morning every tent was in place, and the Second Squadron of Cavalry, composed of five troops, presented an appearance of hav ing settled down to business. And for tunately, the business of yesterday, for most of the men. was doing nothing, and they were attending to it right loyally.

Now, however much one may feel Inclined to do so. It Is consid ered extremely bad form to throw any thing at the first sergesnt when he shows up at your tent door, so we lay still and waited. Tn a kindly voice he informed us that we were ordered on a special detill to help ere ft the head quarters tents. We went.
