Camp Governor Page.

The camp-ground on the Berlin bank of the
Winooski began to assume signs of life on
Saturday, when some of the mess-tents
were up and detachment of the Fuller
Battery OF Brattleboro put in its appearance,
bringing the four field pieces of the COM
mand. On Sunday the ground was visited
by many spectators. Monday was the day
OF active preparations. Tents went up ON
all sides, details from each company being
present, and the field assumed the aspect Of
camp. Yesterday morning the companies
came pouring in, and soon after noon the
National Guard of Vermont was in camp,
and the stars and stripes were floating over
brigade headquarters.
A footbridge has been laid across the river
Just above the camp, and il is not a toll
bridge, either. Entering the camp by way
OF this bridge, one passes first the two large
tents in which are the horses of the battery.
Then come the tents of the battery, facing
