The Fifth United Slates artillery has been ordered from New York to Kan Francisco and the First from the Pacific coast to the east. There is one battery of the Fifth in this deiiartment. Battery D, commanded by Major Kiuzie, and stationed at Fort Douglas. It w i I change stations with Battery E of the First. Otherwise the Department of the Platte will be unaffected by the chanee. Both detachments, according to tho commander. General Brooke, will tmiko the change some time between the Uth and the loth of May. The First Is commanded com-manded bv Colonel Langdori and the Fifth by Colonel Piper. It is probable, however, that Colonel Piper will remain re-main in the cast on detached servlca. No particular object has been a-eribed for the change. Troops in different arms of the service are transferred from time to time in order that regiments and def.ichments on the frontier may not always be compelled to endure hardship while others more fortunate enjoy the comforts and pleasures tributary trib-utary to posts near the older cities in the cast. |
