tenant Uaws. OF the 22d New-York, said after
his arrival:
I'VE have 500 men in camp here and it's a
miserable hole The men have had nothing to
eat since they left New-York, and there is no
place to buy anything. We have no tents and
will have to lie on the ground. We can't I'M
agine why we have been brought here. There
has been no riot We have seen no assempla9e
of strikers Everything where we are Is
peaceful as Sunday, and it seems to DC the same
all along the line"
A driving rain, which began to pour down
shortly before o'clock this afternoon. made
tbincs very uncomfortable for those shelterless
men. The 10Th Regiment had an especially hard
time of it, The men sheltered themselves unaer
lumber piles as best they could, and at o'clock
some of them were seen sleeping In pudules vi
water They were completely tagged out. None
of the New-York or Brooklyn men had tents.
The 65th's boys complain bitterly of the lack
Of accommodations Said one :, " | want to wash,
but have only had one chance to wash decently
since Sunday. If we only had soap and towels
we might get along little better. There is just
to wash in the street cutters this morning 1t gets
n little dirty after thirty forty men have
washed in it,
