The grave reports Of the illness in the
ranks of the LIST Maine at Chicka-
manga, have alarmed General Rich
ards. and he sent two kilograms.
Thursday. to Colonel Kendall and
Major Bradbury asking for the state
Of the health, and the nature of the
illness. A paper. Wednesday. said
over 800 were i'll. and the same paper
'N'''' ma over ~" were III Tor uutE.
This would leave 200 still unaccounted
for. and ii is thought perhaps SOM
mistake was made This sudden increase
IN the illness in the regiment il is thought
may be accounted for partly by the
fact that pay day occurred hut a few
days ago, and perhaps some have been
spending some of the money in buying
too much food or fruit. Then some
might have INDUCED too freely.
Whatever is the cause General Rich
ards wishes to know. and if il is as lie
SupposeS he can set the minds of many
an anxious parent or relative in this
state at ease by telling them that the
feNers are not so prevalent as have
been reported. General Richards bts-
lieVes the real cause for the illness
should he given ont. as many are given
cause for worry at home when il is
stated that all have fcvers of some
sort. He thinks the general health will
he very much better when the effect of
the change of camp is realized and the
san win be very much better than the
shade. He has campaiened in the
South, and therefore knows of the
ways and effects of the climate.
The news of the illness of Colonel
Morton was received with regret, bur
it is not thought either his illness nor
that of Captain Lovejoy will prove /"
De very serious.
General Richards visited the camp of
the Augusta Cadets, Thursday after
noon and witnessed dress parade. as
he had promised the boys he would do
