There is apparently no doubt of the arr
rival of the ne-hundred-and-fifty-e
Regiment tomorrow morning. In a COM
munication to this paper, received yester-
day, COL Harry b. Smith said
From orders received at this time
we will leave here Monday and arrive at
Indianapolis on Tuesday morning The
train will probably be run in four sections,
and the sick, under charge of the surgeon,
will be in sleepers on first section. Should
any alteration be made in these plans will
advise you"
This letter was written from Camp Po-
land. Knoxville, Saturday. r. o. Hawkins.
chairman of the committee of the Columbia
Club that is arranging to receive the regi-
ment received a letter from Colonel Smith
yesterday which conveyed the information
that the regiment would arrive about Q
o'clock tomorrow morning. 1t stated that
the sick would be in the first of the four
sections. The number Of sick was given at
thirty, ten of whom, the letter said, would
need to go to the hospital. 1t is supposed
that Colonel Smith will accompany the first
section. G. Z. Wilson, secretary to Cow
ernor Mount, yesterday received informa-
tion that the Big Four road would turn the
cars over at Cincinnati last night, so that
they would reach Knoxville this morning.
Yesterday afternoon Governor Mount had
not received additional notice when the reg
iueut would leave.
according to a telegram sent to this city
yesterday by General SuperinteEdent y. r..
Miller, of the Pennsylvania lines, the One.
Observation-Disclosures Regiment will be
turned over to the Panhandle road at Pitts
burg at 10 o'clock this morning. on its way
hcne from Camp Meade.
Fee, left Camp Meade at o'clock yesterday
morning. Tie other sections followed at
different intervals under Maj. McAuliffa,
Major Louden and Captain Louden. The
hospital car, which is under charge of Maj.
Stunkard, contains fifteen men who are seri-
ously Ill. There are many others in the
several companies recovering from sick
spells who will not be able to march to
camp and will be hauled out. The third and
fourth sections were delayed for several
hours in starting. While the third section
was being made up there was collision in
which four cars were disabled. The delay
in the arrival of other cars will bring the
last two sections at least six hours late
Tho regiment, in four sections, will carry
fifteen sick men. Governor Mount and
Surgeon General o. f. Runnels have de-
cided not to teke any of the sick men from
any Of the regiments to the City Hospital
unless the accommodations at the camp ara
not sufficient. The bracing air in the camp
and the large number of attendants will
guarantee them the best of treatment and
atmospheric condition OF a character likely
to kill all the fever there may be among
the men.
The remaining volunteers at Camp Mount
had busy day receiving visitors yesterday.
More people visited the camp than at any
time since the Observation-Disclosures
enth Regiment and the Twenty-eighth Bat
terry returned Among the visitors to the
battery were large number of citizens
from Fort Wayne. There were many in
quiries as to when the battery would Leave
camp. Captain RanISe replied that it all de-
pended on the paymaster. After the boys
are paid off they will go. The captain ex-
pressed hopes of getting away by Wednes-
day.
The guard that is watching the camp OF
the d-and-ffty-seventh Regi-
ment. under the command of Major Feaser
and Lieutenants Fish and Lankenaw. has
but little to do. Saturday most of the
tents were taken down, and but little more
has to be done. The boys are finding the
light guard duties required of them not
much more irksome than picnic
1t was quiet day in the state hospital.
In the afternoon there were so many vis-
itors that 1t was necessary to ask for a
guard to keep back all visitors except the
relatives of the thirty patients. While the
patients improve, none was we'll enough to
go home yesterday, and it looks as If most
OF them would have to be under treatment
some days yet. The physicians report that
they are cheerful and do not fret much be-
cause they could not go home when the
others of the regiment were furloughed..
When the One-hundred-ahd-fi -fifty-eighth
Regiment arrives at the Union Station cof-
fee and sandwiches will be served by the
committee that is representing the Column
bia Club. At o'clock Tuesday evening
there will be a supper served to the regi-
nent by the Ladies' Soldiers Aid Society
and The Columbia Club in the baseball park
