Matters at Uamt, Douulas.

Since tho camp was Utmost dcpopulatcd, BY |
the principal regiments thorc being called to |
tho field, q few weeks ago, Camp Douglas has |
been void Of interest; tho city rallwny cars
hare run lighter, the hotels and lagcr.bccr |
saloons have languishcd and longcd for Gus
tom; tho Union Observatory and Free Obsers;
yotory have walled in vain for patrons; and
In the meantime, there being cryilittlc to
protect, ND guard has been stationed about
the camp for months, and citizens were allow
cd to pass in an1 out ad 1i1itum.
Tho announcement made yesterday that
four thousand rebel prisoners wcre on their
way to Chicago, md that they werc to be con:
fined ut Camp Douglas, infused new life into
every officer and private, Brlgadicr ,Genenl
/; T.. Amman, who has been In tchargc of the
camp for lev days, gavc Ills orders, which
were speedily enforced. lagtd discipline was
at once established, respecting the admission
Of citizens and "passes" to soldiers; new.
conntersign was properly announced, and the
strictcst regulations adopted MS to future
operations. Contractors, who supply fuel
md ratlons, carpenters and tinsmiths were
flying about thc grounds, putting in order the
barracks to be occupied by tho robels. Tho
scene was enliyened by the presence Of numer-
ous citizens who Ind gone to the camp, ex-
pcctIng to witness the arrival Of the secesh.
But they were disappointed, rs they do not
arrive till some time today.

the C5th H., Scotch Regiment,) Col. Cam
cron; the 9th Vermont; Phillips Battery;
and remnant Of the 18th Illinois Cav
airy, and the 104th Illinois infantry: =
Can't Phillips has now ninety a1st-rate men
in his Battery, and lad he received al that
| have offered, would hare had his complement,
long ago. But being strict disciplinarian,
and thoroughly educated officer, he accepts
none but those who will compare with the
men already enrollcd-he enro11s men for ser.
vict, Capt. Phillips headquarters are at the
extreme northeast corner Of the enclosure,
where applicants will receive all necessary in
formation.
The question having been propouuded
through these columns as to how stoves TINT
Ind cost the Government from 50 to SIS, we're
brought from Camp Douglas and sold in the
city for IS, we are requested to state that none
have been sold by authority, except those that
were burned out and useless, which were
so,d tn fonnders and 4 ea1crs in mart nav far
now oncs-or in some cases for the ren,ocino
Of broken portions Of old stoves. If other
| sales have been made, the stoves were stolen,
there having been no guard around the camp
