The weather and our troops.

--The nomadic condition of our troops having almost entirely deprived them of the comfort derived from the shelter of their tents — their more solid houses of logs having been destroyed — the solicitude of their friends should be considerably allayed by the delightful weather inaugurated yesterday by young April. At the time of penning this, the atmosphere was so balmy and the sunshine so delicious that we could but receive it as an earnest that spring was really here to gently fit us for the sultry summer. If the cold weather is really gone, our brave soldiers, despite the lack of shelter, will be as comfortable in the field as their buoyant natures ask to be.
