MISCELLANEOUS. When a body of troops, upon a requisition for trans: portation from the of enrolment to any of the geue Fa} depots, is ;urnished with the same, the officer furnish ing ebould immediately inform the dep:t commander of ‘the number of iphy, i i aed and the provable time of their arrival at the depot. On the arrival of companies at any of the three depots, im New York city, Albany or Fimira, the senior officer ac sompany ing them will iramediately weet to the general im com vand, and make a requisition for quarters on the Depot Quartermaster, and report the strength of his com. mand, with a view to a supply of rations, straw, ded sacks’ blankets, &c. After the troops shall be quartered, it is expected that ofiicers and men will use all dilixeuce im acquiring a knowledge of the duties which will be re. quired of them when in the field. Command: can scarcely conceive the scenes of bustle and activity that are continually in progress in the temporary bar- racks 80 recently erceted by the govenment, The out side view of the place pregents no feature worthy of par- ticular remark. A number of teuts arrranged in military order, email bodies of uniformed men moving here and there, and numerous sentries posted at the different gates, are about al) the remarkable things to be seen. But those who would kuow something of the rough and ready na- ture of a coldier’s life must pass the sentinel and vist the interior of the barracks. Here he will at once perceive that he has got into a little world of busy activity only inferior to the outgide routine of city lite. The arrange- mente for the comforts of tae military are far more com- pact and complete than one would be likely to sup- pose could be found in such a roughly con- trived building, When tho rapidity with which the place was ron up is considered, the artigans who conducted it cannot be too highly commended for the ingenuity they have displayed. The dimensions of the barracks are 400 feet by 30 in its greatest extent, and In this space very comfortable accommodations have Deon disposed for two thousand men, with their army accoutrements, servants, &. Of course it is nothing more than a military caravansery, where the troops now every day paseing through New York city, from ailferent poinis of the country, may find shelter, food, clothing, arms, anc everything that may be needed for their per- sonal comfort and eiliciency. fhe quarters are at present occupied by the Twentieth regiment, Ulster Guard, num- bermg 1,200 men, apd the Albany Burgess corps, on its way to join the twenty fifth regiment, of Albany, which recently parsed through this city. The men are all com- fortably lodged, and are fed with good, wholesome fuod, of which they have as much as they can desire. There ig no stint in the commiseariat department. The cookin, arrangements are excelient. There is machinery enoug! in the culinary department for providiag for 1 600 men. When our reporter visited the barracks the cook and nis associetes were up to their heacs in busineds; the soup boilers and stew pans were in fuil blast, and immense loaves of freeh bread were rapidly disappearing under the heavy knives of eturdy cutters. “The soup boilers, when the four compartments are in operation, can supply tive thousand men. As there werenot half so many ja quar- aris ing officers of troops which march for the | ters, only ove section of the boiler was kept going. jesolved, That we place the most implicit confidence in the field will, before their departure, report the strength of | Mesers.
