We have experienced great pleasure, dur
ing the past week, in q visit to Camp Nil
Ter, North Of the city, near the Academy
Of S. Cecilia. The camp was named IN
compliment to our very gentlemanly and
accomplished Post commander, Brig.-Gen.
Jno. F .Miller, and Is certainly the finest
specimen Of disciplinary taste Of any vol
unteer camp in the country. The General,
We know, feels highly honored st the dis
tinguished mark Of respect here shown
him. and he many admirers need only TO
make visit % the ls9th Ohio, to make
them feel more proud Of their iayorite chief
tain.
The camp is situated on gentle slope,
and Is laid cat in strict sccordanes with the
regulations conmodious and comfortable
environments have been furnished the men
and they are arranged with beautiful pre-
eision on either side Of the company ps-
rade grounds. Everything within Is IN
perfect order-a place for everything and
everything in its place. A hno cooking

sanitary condition Of The regiment is en-
hapsed by wise supervision Of the well
cooked aad healthy diet consumed by the
