Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-11-06

may mention that one of the regiments here, the
Seventh Indiana, has but thirty-0ne cases IN the
hospital, and Of these only one or two are az all
likely 70 prove fatal.
am glad to say that General Dumont, who
has been quite sick for several weeks, is almost
entirely well again, AMI declares himself ready for
the field. Whether he will soon have an opportu-
nifty to take it or not. l cannot tell; butif these
forces remain idle here much longer. l shall be
seriously disappointed.
The troops upon Cheat Mountain Sum nit are
busily engaged in the construction Of huts for
winter quarters. Perhaps it is a misnomer to call
the buildings they are erecting "huts." for they
are really strong, comfortable and comm0dious
log houses; each one forty feet in length and
twenty in width, and sufficiently large to accom-
modate half a company.
We find the following in the St Louis Dem
ocrGt of the 3lst of October:
Thirty six patients were brought in from OF
terville last evening by the Pacific road, of whom
seventeen were members Of the 10Th Indiana,
two of the 22d Indiana, two of the 9Th Missouri;
of the LIST, ID and 9th Missouri regiments one
each, and one of the LIST Iowa regiment. Alto
gether, there are now under treatment at the City
General Military Hospital four hundred and seven
patients. OF those who have lately been admit
ted, the largest number are afflicted with typhoid
or intermittent fever. 1t is said that about three
hundred men of the 26th Indiana regiment (Col,
seacns) are now i"a ~, IN otseTViile, win
measles, under the general charge Of DIR. Young
hand. The disease made its appearance in the
regiment when encamped south of the fair
grounds, a few weeks ago.
