occupancy of the tents on the Far Grounds
and the routine business connected with the
organization of a camp.
Gen. Henry's brigade was the first organi-
zation that arrived here outside Of Rutland
county. and that is about 300 strong.
There are about fifty here from Burling-
ton. including Battalion Commander Gibbs,
Generals Foster and Barstow, Col. Peck,
Can't. Watson and other officers. This
brigade at once marched to camp,
under the inspiriting music OF the
Queen City Band. The Burlington and
Essex veterans occupy the western line
of A tents, which is very comfortable To-
cality.
The camp which has been named . Camp
Doubleday has been very attractive spot
to visitors to-day, looking, as it does, quite
sarmy-like with its tents, company streets,
and veteran soldiers, almost all of whom
wear some memorial of their service for the
Union. either by hat, cord, shoulder-strap,
or corps badge, while many carry the
empty sleeve; and very few show the abb
sence ola leg.
The headquarters tents of Gen. Neazey
ard staff, are situated on the left OF the en-
trance of the camp; those OF Gen. Henry
brigade. are directly in front of them; Cen
Sewers further west Gen. Thomas's to
the left, and Gen Ripley's on the rising
or ound in the southern part ofthe field.
The tents have been pitched quite taste
fully and the camp is in all respects laid out
in true army style, and the veteran can
almost imagine himself back in the old
comps near some of the Maryland and
Virginia villages.
The BOYS seem at once to settle down to
camp life. and as fully four-fiths have
brought their own rations, they fall to
cooking and eating them with will. A
GOOD many are bound to enjoy for the three
DAYS the old campaign d" fodder over
again, so there are plenty Of ." pork and
beans" in the larders, but We doubt 1t much
of the coffee is up to the superb ar
tiele which Uncle Sam furnished dur
the unpleasantness. OF course 1t would
