NJ, comprising the second and tenth regiments
and fifth light battery-which takes in all of
the state militia of Worcester county and the
counties west-wil begin to-day. The ground
selected for the camp, and called Camp Cum
bingham, ~ is the same as was hired last year by
Gen Butler and afterwards discarded. 1t is sit
uated in the town of Sterling, half mile from
Sterling junction on the west side of the Fitch
burg railroad track; and includes thirty acres
OF land belonging to John Gates, and hired of
him by Brigader General Chamberlain of this
city. 1t is a most excellent place, according to
the judgment Of all military men whose atten-
ton has been called to it, Capt. Russell, of the
state police, who is just from the muster at
SwampsCott, and also attended the one at Wey-
mouth. considers it much better place than
either of those were.
The camping parties-soders in shirt sleeves
were busy yesterday, and at night the tents
were up and everything seemed to be in order as
Gen. Chamberlain rode around at six O'Clock
on his grey colt. The ground is handsomely
laid out with the headquarters on the south side
and the tents of the two regiments on the north ;
the battery being situated near the entrance on
the northwest. In all, there are about $50 tents,
exclusive of the dozen occupied by the state po-
lice, thirty-six of whom are camped at the south
east corner of the grounds, Just hidden from
headquarters by Il dump of trees. Capt. Z. j
Russell of this city has charge of this portion of
the camp.
The yictualng tents are numerous on the
grounds, the one at headquarters being under
the charge of Williams & Nall, of this city, and
having every appearance of readiness for
thorough camp duty.
The music will be furnished by the regi-
mental bands; the Haydenvile brass from
Northampton for the second, and the Fitchburg
brass for the tenth. The second regiment is
made up from companies scattered over the
four western counties Of the state, while the
tenth is confined to Worcester county, as well
as the battery.
The companies will arrive this forenoon, and
shortly after dinner guard will be mounted,
and the business of the muster will begin
Brigade drill will take place at FIVE O'clock
giving time for visitors from this city to take
the train home at halfpast six. 1t is expected
that Gen. Butler will review the troops on

muster, Gov. Cafin and staff will be present
