Camp Anecdotes.

--A correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette is responsible for the following:

‘ The mother of a member of the National Rifles, now at Culpeper, having written to him that every blow struck by him against the Union was a lick at her, quaintly remarked: ‘"Well, old lady, you'll get a terrible licking before I am done with you."’

A member of a Fairfax company, wearing a belt with U. S. on it, on being told that he was displaying the wrong badge, very promptly replied, ‘"Not at all. U. S. means United South."’
