Camp Randall MATTERS TENS from the
ffth and l1tis,

At Camp Randall, matters remain without
much change The 18th are still waiting to be
paidoff before striking their tents, which, with
the constant FIRE kept up in them, begin already
to look like old campaigners. Notwiths landing
the dry and bright weather seems favorable to
health, we regret to learn that the Regiment
has some twenty men in hospital, of whom five
or six are seriously i'll, mostly with pneumonia
and typhoid feverS. The equipment of the 11th
is now pretty thoroughly completed. 1t num-
bers now l,038 men. A statistical friend has
been looking over the description book, and ex
| tracted therefrom some figures of interest.
| The average weight of the men of the 11tl
| is ISL pounds the average height of the regi-
ment is five feet 61inches. The tallest man
in the regiment is #, 6 inches.
The occupation of 603 men before enlisting
was farmers. About 80 members of the 1st reg
iment are officers in the 11th, ranging from
Colonel to Corporal, and including little JOHN
| NY NICHOLS, who manages to get more music
out of a drumhead than "any other man.
| 4 gentleman who has been connected with
the Quartermaster's department at camp for
some months, says he has found but one man
vet who could not read, while when on a visit
to the camps at Cairo some weeks ago, he re-
peatedly encountered scntinels who could not
read his pass. This speaks well for the intelli-
gence of our volunteers, as does also the fact
thai $l6S of postage stamps were sold at the
camp during the month past, and that when
part of the time there was but one regiment in
camp. many of whose memburs were within a
few miles of home. About 1875 letters are now
received daily.
