The receipt Of the order to move caused
great rejoicing among the stboys, who have
long been in readiness and anxious to leave
tile tedious routine of camp life for the more
active duties Of the field. Uniforms were
cleaned, belts pipc-clayed, and knapsacks were
filed. Every man was On the qui eiue to say
good bye to Camp Douglas and start for the
ware.

skillfnlly in the Sanitary Department Of the

it impossible for him longer to fulfil the duties

this effect on Saturday, Immediately tele-
graphed to Springfield, and received an an

appointment in every particular, is most for
