bag gage trains have been moving on the
road, and the hinamost team is no. now
out of sight. There will be large force
left at La Grange, however, to protect
the depot and government buildings,
which are very valuable. The 17lh and
Goth Illinois Infantry regiments stay for
this purpose. No transportation for the
sick Of The respective regiments or corps
is now provided, and every man unfit
for duty is left behind to the tender mer-
cies of some post hospital. The College
rooms are now full to OVERLOOKING, and
still they come by wagon loads. Some
are placed in the belfry, some in the
halls, while the floor of the cellar is COW
