WEEKLY OPTIO A. IT ID BTOC'K. GROWER TROM OtR BOYS. To the E.IHor of the Ovt.j. OA mt Hamilton, Ky., Oct. 3. We are at last settled for the tune being In the blue grass renion. The site of uur rump Ik h very beautiful ami all ( f tho buys stroll aruund with bright countenances and no doubt b ippy hearts, for coming from such a liesstly place ai Prescott, to a bountiful coun try, is great contrast Indeed, anil an improvement which no eue could fail to appreciate. " Our camp is located about fire miles east of Lexington and it called Camp Hamilton. It la In apiece of country bedded liy Mae grana ef the ducat, softest quality, an4 shaded by Very largo trees. Il.irli regiment has its camp a little ap:irt from the others, mid each a separate parade ground. Among tlie regiments camped I ere the Twelfth New York, Second Mis souri, Third Kentucky, Third Missis sippi, two colored regiments, (ramped apart from the whites), Light h Massa chusetts, and 1 'ire t Territorial Volun teer infantry. The live comp mies of our regiment from the Indian Territory and Okla homa, were here several days ahead ofjus, and when we arrived they had our tents already pitched for us und all ready for us to put our Hours in, which w considered pretty nice of them They were as glad to si e us as eve were to get here, and did everything to make it ph asatit from the start. Our regi ment has been nicknamed the "15lg Four," ou account of the four Terri tories comprising the name. We aim to be the best regiment in the camp and I think we will be, but we have to do some good work, for some of the boys do pretty well. We received our guns Thursday and are now working exclusively on the manual of arms as we must catch up on that before doing much other work. The division hospital here is a very large institution and has something like 600 patients, most of whom were from regiments which were in dolida during tlie summer and who returned iu very poor health. Our company has nt a single man on the sick report here, and we hope we may continue without having any. All the boys were much pleased with the grand reception given us kt Las Vegas. It was far ahead of anything we saw on the road. AlboqtieK.ue turned out pretty well, but it was not an iiein compared to whul Las Vegas did. As usual, l.as Yeus did tlte right thing at the light time. One of the train hands on our train who has been with aoldier trains all over the United States sinco the war began, said that he had seen some grand reception given the boys, but that nunc of Iheiu compared with what we got in Las Vecas. There Is some talk all oat to the effect that this regiment (ours I mean) will be mounted. We all hope so, but there Is nothing of enough stability in the re port to arouse our hopes. It Is the general supposition that all the troops stationed here will be moved south into (orgia and Alabama fer tho winter, so will probably nut be here later than the last of October. We shall always be glud to see an Opth:, so hope we will not be forgot ten. Address of Las Vegss Company Is, In care of Company F, First Terr Vol. Infantry, Camp Ilamil'on, Ky. J ACK Mknnkt. REV.

The truest and friends then tiled Into the large dining room where the long tables ladened with the good things of the season, tempted the appetiUs of the most abstemious.

His departure will solve a gi eat mauy of the Cuban problems. ' They are beginning tostring the wires in Cuba. The political wire-stringing will no doubt begin In due time. The autumn rain came just in time to start the political mud throwing. Time may be success as a wound healer, but it seldom removes ths scars. The more vanity some people possess the easier it Is to make them happy. We will now let the Philippine ques tion rest for awhile, while we chase the wily red man o'er the plains.
