THE FoRTHcdINd ENcAMpMENT OF
THE ENTIB NATIONAL GUARD OF
PBNNsYLvEIA-eENERAL ORDERS
FOR THE d DFARTURE OF TROOPS AND
CAMP DUrS.
Philadelphia Press
On the decive battlefield of Gettys-
burg, in the eroic service of holding
in check an .emy ably commanded,
and moved the powerful impulse of
success, Corral John f. Reynolds
gave up hislife. Next Saturday a
week the eire National Guard of
Pennsylvan Will bivouac at Lewis
town, on Il blue Juniata, and the
largest encnpment that has been
assembled sce the war will be called
Camp Reynds, after the brave Penn
sylvanian no died at Gettysburg.
1t will be ree,nbered that the entire
uniformed rlitia of the State was in
line in Philelphia in August, 1876.
The organizapns outside the city were
at the time tcamped in Fairmount
Park ; the citorganization did not go
into camp, 'wever, and therefore
Camp John + ion Reynolds will be
justly entitled the claim of being the
first of the eIre National Guard of
the State, as ell as the largest en-
campment sin the close of the late
war.
For the purge, probably no better
location than ewistown could have
been chosen. tuated on the main
lineof the Penrlvania Railroad, with
other roads meing from almost every
other point, it Grs unsurpassed facil-
tiles for rapid c,centration of all the
troops at a minuin cost for trans
portation. TO sure piece of ground
large enough, al at the same time
suitable in evegrespect for the ell
campment itselfvas next to All I'M
possibility. Itvl be found, however,
that the chosen round offers many
advantages. Eslcially is it high and
dry, and will no )ubt prove healthy
location for the tops. The color line
of the division w run in direction
nearly north ah south. There is
plenty of water # bathing and other
purposes in thelear vicinity, Jack
Creek being in I'll rear, or to the east
of the encampmet; while the Penn
sylvania Canal ad the Juniata River
are OH the soutl Between the en-
campment and Jck Greek is stretch
of woodland, VIII shade in abund-
mace.
THE SCENERY MAR CAMP REYNOLDS.
The ground is bling with gradual
but rather steel ascent toward the
north until it finlly attains an eleva-
ton Of $50 feet t. 100 feet above the
Juniata River. It one of the highest
points reservoinas been constructed,
from which a pie line will convey
water through th camp for cooking
and drinking purposes. The greater
portion of the grand is in grass sod,
while the paradesnd drive ground is
in grain stubble. This will be rolled
and prepared for ne purpose intended.
