In the location Of this camp, which is to be
occupied forthwith, the most careful refer
ence was paid to the great leading features of
case OF access, nature Of site, extent of area,
aao abundant supply Of water, and the same
causes which made this the most admirable Of
Fair Grounds, are successful now. Governor
Yates Was efficiently represented here by
Judge A. G. Fuller Of Belvidere, and the trust
imposed In him has been executed with excel
lent and close reference to public and military
interests.
OF this new and important Camp, the or
ganization Of the regiments and all the affairs
OF which will be under the same supervision
Of the Governor as at Camp Butler, Colonel
Joseph Il Tucker If this city his been ap-
psi1ted Commandant, and Milton 0. Higgins

The subsistence OF the troops will be in
charge Of Col. Webb, e. S. a., these being
the soldiers of the Union. Harry u. spaul-

me.,ts will be put in the way OF making
excellent soldiers.
Arrangements have been made With the L.

cure ready access to the lake shore. Tie

snd soldiers o1 the business Of the camps.
The parade aud drill grounds of this camp,
which has been dt!y cLri5tened Camp Doug

and dry. II fact, we see nothing left to be
desired but that the boys 'sfa IN as rapidly as
possible and fill up these ncw regiments, the
in>taposiiou of which in the same camp will
rive The abu1Gaa. fruits Of generous emula,
ton in all points Of drill and order, and pro.

can learn, The troops vii! come in rapidly, and
there could not be better Place Of 1endcz
