He has introduced innovations upon the established usages of camp life, the result of which must, if properly embraced, save the Confederate States millions of doldollars and thousands of lives, and insure comfort where suffering else might have to be endured. The innovation to which I allude is in the size and character of the camp tent. He has reduced it to a size which will accommodate but four men. One end of it he leaves entirely open. Before the open end he builds a camp fire, and that makes a small tent more comfortable in the coldest winter than the large tents are in autumn or spring. One mule can carry thirty of

Without expressing an opinion as to the merits or demerits of the innovations upon military affairs alluded to in the following extract from a Virginia letter to the Mobile Tribune, we insert it for the inspection of these having charge of matters: But I beg your leave now to attract attention to the Colonel of a cavalry regiment who turns them all down.

There it is twisted around the nail on the rear pole, and then it is passed to the front pole and twisted around the nail on this pole, from whence it is passed to the ground and fastened to a peg. This cord is the ridge pole. Col. Ransom has attached to his regiment forty baggage wagons, attached to each one of which are four horses, making one hundred and sixty horses in his transportation service; whereas five mules are altogether sufficient for the transportation of Croghan tents enough for the same regiment; and the soldiers are bound to enjoy more comfort and sufferless in the Croghan tent than they do in the tent now in use in our army, and the transportation of which is so very expensive Col.

He is 35 years of age, has the eye of as eagle and the Wellington nose; is about six feet high, faultless in form, graceful in carriage, and the best rider in America. He is the son of the celebrated Col. Croghan of nervous expression, an "exploded humbug." This insures expedition without a sacrifice of comfort, and such has been the force with which the utility of this style of tent has impressed the military minds that have investigated its merits, that Gen. Floyd, among others has thrown aside his huge amphitheatre and adopted the modest and comfortable little tabernacle, for which the army are indebted to Col. Croghan. In order, therefore, to enable any regiment in the Confederate service that may fee
