Improved cartridge,

--Previous to the departure of the Blues their Minnie muskets were reamed out so as to fit them to use McEvoy's patent cartridge. By the latter, greater ease and facility of loading the pieces is attained. About forty of the Blues leave this morning, under Lieutenant Sanxay, to join their comrades in the mountains. A part of the programme set down to be performed by the Blues, after they arrived at the end of their rail, was a march of seventy-five miles on foot.
