The Regiments are encamped on
The cd State Fair Grounds, which
have been worn smooth and hard all
about the region of the barracks,
which form the east and south sides
Of square, the 10Th and 10th regi-
meuls being eneamped on the east
side, and the lllh on the south. IN
the rear Of the Company barracks are
smaller ones for the commissioned Of
fcers, and others for the cooking de-
partment. lathe barracks Of the 10Th
are long dining tables, which take up
space that is needed for other pur
poses. The barracks are well built
and comfortable houses, but do not
lcok as cheerful as tents. There are
hunks on each SIDE, Two lngh, and
filed with straw. The Regmental
officers have tents at the north Of the
barracks, and at the extreme south
western limit of the grounds are the
hospital buildings.
The Regiments are fast becoming
proficient in their drill, and | lrarn
that the Manchester Company was
complimonted by the Colonel for is
fne appearance and full ranks. Aud
certainly their appearance at battalion
drill Yesterday afternoon, although
their ranks were not as full n usual,
WAS the best Of any Company in the
Regiment, ard in cxeculing the move
ments to right and left their line was /
tic least broken and confused.
The men ltovc enough 10 eat, and f.
am assured by 4 man who has son
in the 18th, and WHO took his meals |
with the soldiers for two days, that
the quality Of the food was good, and
that stories which had obtained cre- /
dence a few days since respecting the |
hard fare the boys were receiving, arc |
wholly without foundation. ASH have /
heard nothing Of the complaints re-
garding the Hospital, ! conclude tile

Gus mind.
