CAMP NOTES.

! Mel. Gen. Butler will leave Camp
Alger to-day for his home at Edgefelo
:. c., but is expected back in Washing
ton for few days before he begins his
official service on the Cuban commits
! sion. The three men composing the
commission are expected to sail On tine
Dolphin to Havana September 5.
At late hour last evening it was moi
known who would get the position OF
commander of the Second division.
The removal Of the First division is
The regiments are expected 10 begin
packing the first of next week. The
iumor that the entire Second army
corps, with either a portion or the
whole OF the Seventh corps, under the
command of Gen. Lee, is to be sent to
Cuba for guard duty was again current
yesterday.
The removal of the troops of the Sec
ond division continued yesterday. Two
trains were dispatched. The first car
ried twenty passenger coact es and was
filled with men and officers of the Third
New York and the 159ah Indiana. The
second section was composed of the
nineteen freight cars in charge of about
$50 men remaining of the Twenty. sec
oud Kansas. Nearly all of the soldiers
remaining>of the Second division will
leave to-day and on Saturday. This
will absolutely clear the old part of
Camp Alger.
The command at Thoroughfare Gap
will be transferred to Gen. Goblin. i.
Hospital Stewards Hines, Shopper
son, and Cochran, of the Third Vir-
GINA, have just received new Kakai
uniforms of the latest design, and pre-
sent Very sporty appearance in their
new outfit. Members of the non-com
mssioned staff are also allowed the
privilege Of wearing this uniform.
a despatch from Camp Alger says:
There seems to be q general opinion
here that il if any of the three Vir-
giuia regiments are mustered out OF the
service, the Third will be the one to
go, and the men feel convinced that if
they are sent TO Richmond it will only
be step towards the disarmament Of
the regiment. 1t is pointed out that
Gen. Lee will surely 60 to Cuba, and
it is equally certain that both the
Second and Fourth regiments will 60
with him. 1t is improbable that all of
the Virginia regiments will be called
upon to DO garrison duty, and this be-
ing the case, it is almost settled fact,
in the minds of the men, that the Third
will go home. After the many disap
pointments at not being sent to the
front, the boys are not averse to re-
turning home again, and, in fact, there
are large number who are very much
averse to serving in time of peace"
The Southern Railway to day moved
two trains loaded with troops from
Dunn Loring, and this evening hospl-
tai train from Thoroughfare will pass
through this city for Camp Alger. Ten
trains loaded with troops from the
South will pass through this city to.
morrow, via the Southern road.
