In order to give each brigade commander
the opportunity of taking Charge of mis-
own men in camp this year, the adjutant
and Inspector general will supply tents and
such camp equipage as is on hand TO tue re-
spective brigade commanders at such
points as may be chosen for camp. 1t is
believed this arrangement will he better in
every way than the assembling of all troops
Ia one camp Each brigadier would be-
come better acquainted with the various
companies and could enforce discipline, in
augurata battalioRAnd regimental drills. a
matter of vital importance, and one in
which nearly ell field and line Off
beers are, owing to lack of oppor-
tunity, practically uninstr{cted. 1t has
been intimated to the adjutant and in
spector general that the Second brigade, Gen.
r. N. Richbourg, will select Greenville, as
it will be impossible to find anywhere site
so well adapted in every way for the pur
poses. Owing to the great amount Of work
done last year by the citizens of Greenville,
it is believed that there is room there for
two separate camps at the same time should
such be necessary in order to enable COM
mands to select the most suitable time for en-
campment The Thi rd brigade, Gen. w. E.
James, will probably select Darlington as its
ground. The choice of the Fourth brigade,
Gen. T. A. Huguenin, has not been ascer
tanned, but, no one doubts, will soon be de-
termined. OF course, if any brigade
should determine not to go into camp,
SUCH troops thereof as desire can join
temporarily any other brigade in
camp Brigade commanders will soon re-
ceive orders from headquar ers to begin
their preparations for ercampments. There
fore IL is important that they should at
once inform themselves of the intentions of
their battalion and company officers, with
the view of SO arranging the encampments
that they shall not conflict as to time and
location, and also with the supply Of tents
etc. Low rates Of transportation are as
sured, and there is no doubt that the citi-
zens of the places selected will furnish val
liable aid towards making the visits as
pleasant as the officers are expected to rem
der it instructive.
