Yesterday morning the Seventeenth Ohio.
Colonel Connel, marched out of camp with
drums beating and colors flying, amid the
cheers Of the soldiers they left behind. The
Thirty-Third Indiana was understood to be
under orders to move at the same time. but
it has not yet gone. No important ssmove-
ment'' is indicated in the advance of the
Seventeenth A few Secessionists need
looking after in the quarter to which they
have gone. They will occupy good po-
sition for repelling any attempt of Zollicoff-
er to slip in again Besides, it is desirable
to remove troops who are free from disease,
from the oontagion of the camp. For this
reason it is not improbable that the other
Ohio troops will also be speedily removed
from the present locality
Scarcely had the strains of the band TO
whose music the Seventeenth moved off,
died away, till procession of ill-clad Ten
nesseans came marching down, with revers-
ed muskets and saddened countenances, fol-
lowing the rude coffin of another of their
comrades. Not day has passed since
have been in camp, l believe, that at least
one was not buried from the Tennessee or
Kentucky regiments, and as yet there seems
to be little Improvement in the sanitary con-
dition of their camps. Their hospitals are
full to OVERLOOKING, and more continue to be
reported as unfit for duty, and requiring
hospital attendance. The ladies of the vi
cinity, and especially the ladies of Dan
Vile. are doing all in their power to allevi-
ate the suferIngs Of the sick, and many
poor fellow viii owe his life to the ministra-
tions of these fair angels. So
To-day the first case of measles broke
out in the Fourteenth Ohio. Every preoau-
ton that could be suggested bad been en-
forced to prevent the infection from reach
ing the camp; the soldiers had not been al
lowed to go out of their regimental camp
lines at all, and the officers were particular
ly careful to avoid passing near the measles
hospital, but the vigilance was all unavail-
ing, and the disesse-usually harmless
enough, but sadly fatal here, under the pri-
yations and exposures of camp ife-wil
doubtless go through the regiment.
The mule-breaking" to which the Ohio
boys have been taking so heartily, has led
Through their own carelessness generality
to three or four accidents already. One of
these may possibly yet have fatal termins-
ton A member of Capt. Rippey' company
Seventeenth Ohio, named Steadman, from
Logan county, incautiously exposed HIM
self to the active hoofs of the mule, and re-
ceived blow full in the forehead which
mashed in his skull. He was leftbehind by
his regiment to day and his recovery is, at
best, not certain,
Distinguished Union men of the South
continue to make Camp Dick Robinson a
place of frequent resort. Horace Maynard
of Tennessee arrived here last EVENING"
is rumored to give advice and aid in mstu-
ring plans for the campaign. Rev. DR..
preserves the ancient reputa-
ton of the honorable name, and is q frequent
visitant to the camps, as well, it is said, a
frequent and valued counsellor at the tables
of the Gnerals and the military managers.
The DIR, spoiled splendid General when,
long ago, he abandoned law and studied |
theology. Crittenden, Combs, and nearly |
al the prominent Kentuckians, are eager |
for an advance, and boldly says that Ten |
nessee might be ours in three weeks
There are rumors-how well-founded is |
scarcely known, and nobody, anyway, has
tight to know-ihat advances in earnest
nay begin before long. In any event We
ire getting better prepared. The companies
IF Barnetts' Cleveland Artillery are on hands
md the transportation" ought not to be
deficient much longer.
The Kentucky Synod of the Old School
Church, met the other day at
The Spring Slavery resolu- |
ions and the question of war in Kentucky |
ire almost certain to provoke extended de-
bate and wide attention from the country; |
md DIR. Breckenridge is expected to have |
lit with the more rash and outspoken cler- |
cal defenders of treason. The intellectual |
contest, should it occur, as expected, will be |
we'll worthy of notice, and before this leaves |
camp I'm off to be present at it.
AGATE.
