IICKETr CAMP.
Until few days ago George T.. Pickett
Camp, No. 0, of this city. was also attached
to the Grand Camp. but withdrew, owing
to what they considered TO be a slight
put upon them in connection with the re-
lnterment OF the remains of Dir. DAVIS.
The withdrawal of this camp viii be re-
ported to the Grand Camp. and some steps
will probably be taken to try and induce
the Pickett brethren to renew their afiilia-
ton with the State organization.
