MATTERS AT CAMP DOUGLAS.
NUMBER AND CONDITION OF TIE
PRISONERS.
SANITARY STATE OF the CAMP.
Departure Of the Irish Brigade
and Scotch Regiment,

EAA 8SVeNAA AA~k3AAVQN
Below, we present many interesting details !
cf the present condition Of Camp Doughs and |
its surroundings, which will be found liter |
esting, especially as the two regiments how |
stationed there are on the eve of departure |
end our Home Guards are about to Is |
sumo charge Of the rebels confined there. /
EXTENT OF TILE CANT.
Camn Douglas now embraces one hundred
and fourteen acres, having been largely ex-
funded since its original occupation By our
own troops {at which time it embraced but
eighty seyen), owing to the continued arrivals
Of prisoners from DonelEon, Pittsburg and
elsewhere. The prisoners occupy the bar
racks, and the stables formerly used by Brack-
cts cavslry. The quarters are clean, neat,
AID eomt3r.ablc-far exceeding, in all these
qualities, the filthy tents and still ilthier sub
ttrranean novels to which the rebels have been
accustomed in their Owl camps. There are
low right thousand 7siue hundred and sizty-tuo
prleoIers in camp, About two thousand more
caD be Accommodated, aud ii tents were pitched
8 still greater number could find accomnoda-
ton within the limits Of the camp.
RATIoSs.
It is not only in the matter Of aceommoda-
tiors that the rebels Gnd excellent treatment.
Their ratiors are precisely similar to those Of
our own soldiers consisting ~ potatoes, pork,
beet, Rvur, peans, rice, coffee, sugar, N olasse5
and vinegar, besides the extras Of soap and
candles, I combination Of military Iuxurirs en-
tircly unknown in the rebel camps. The ra-
tions allowed each man are more than needed,
and the rebels in common with our own
soldiers frequently exchange fur nlik aad otaer
Gclicacice.
SANITARY CONDITION.
The sanitary condition Of the camp Is good
at present ard daily improving. Nearly iii
tie deaths among the prisoners have been
occasioned BY discharges from the hospitals
at St. Louis and elsewhere, before the patients
were fairly cured The location Of the camp
itself is very healthy and the various sanitary
appliances devised by Col. Mnl1igau, the plain,
healthy food furnished, aud the constant ex-
erc:sc taken By the prisoners, snch as ball
| playing, pitching Quoita, ETC., have very
salutary effect, The total number OF deaths
since February ls!, is 527, of whom thirty have
| been Federal soldiers, leaTing 4o7 rebels upon
| the n2ortuary list.
