To Soldier Boys at Camp Taylor for the Holidays. A dispatch, from Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky, of December 14, says: “Conflicting orders and reports about passes for the holidays were set at rest today, when it became known that the war department will leave the matter to the discretion of the division commanders. The commanding general here is said on good authority to favor letting as many men go as possible. One group of passes will be good for four days, including Christmas, and another will allow leaves of similar length, including New Year’s day.
