barracks on the north limits of the camp ground
Inc flames originated IN an un0ccu1ied kitchen

eleven C 'upsnies They were occupied, chiefly
0Y the both Illinois regiment Colonel Cameron
There IS hardly any room for doubt that the
buildings were hted purposely by some dis
au-c.ed aud malicious soldiers smong Lbe pe
rolled men. This seems to be the opinion of tbs
officers in camp, and concsteEalou of cil-
eumsiances bearing upon the matter would Ger
tainly justify this supposition
The barracks destroyed can lily BE- spared 81
this time, as the large number OF troops in caml
requires the use Of all the tents and wooden
buildings.On the grounds. The quarters con
sunaed by this wantou set, and as5 those de-
-stroyed IN a s smilar manner last week, are TO be
rebuilt with as little delay as possible.
AEother fire was ext temporized last evening by
tue soldiers Of the OH Vermont regiment, en-
camped on the Horse Fair Grounds About
haltpAst six o'clock the alarm was given, and
the Economy and tbs Enterprise set out for the

The Economy went fOrward, bu5 could not GET

TO spoil the fun. Thsy commenced to throw
stones, one Of which struck the captsin, Thomas

also struck the engine, which is c0usiderabIy 2
