CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 30.-The
is temporarily suspended and all the COM
mands have settled down to work as
though they were here permanently.
Many of the officers and men now express
the belief that peace negotiations will pre-
vent the regiments from seeing active
service. The Sixth Tennessee infantry,
which has been in camp at Knoxville,
Tenn, since its organization, arrived at
Camp Thomas to-day The regiment.
which is commanded by Col Tyson, is
fully recruited. The Fourth Tennessee
infantry, which is now in camp at Knox
Vile, is expected to come to Camp Thorn
as during the next few days.
The Fifth Illinois is again settling down
to business. The boys have about gotten
over their disappointment at not getting
to go to the front at this time and nearly
every man has returned to the regiment
for duty. AS soon as the rumors circu-
lated to the effect that Col. Culver was
responsible for their recall were shown
to be false, the boys were
GENERALLY SATISFIED.
This morning at roll call it is stated that
all but few of the men answered and
these probably will SHOW up during the
next "a hours. The regiment now occu-
pies new camp grounds and all the tents
nave been set up so that by Monday
everything will be working as smoothly
as though nothing had happened.
The First Pennsylvania is now in a
state of expectancy as to when the col
onelcy will be filled, it being known that
Col. Brown will not be physically able to
return to the command. The boys of the
regiment, without exception. are anxious
that Lieut.. Col. Good should receive the
appointment, and 1t is quite manifest that
they will not be satisfied with any other
arrangement. Lieut. Col Good has made
such an efficient officer and has grown
in such favor with the officers and men
that they would be quite reluctant to see
anyone else succeed to the command.
Lieut.. Harland, the regimental surgeon
of the First Pennsylvania, thinks it
would be advisable to move to a new To-
cation in the park and there is a growing
sentiment in favor of the movement The
matter will be agitated until something
comes of it.
The First Pennsylvania has imposed
rather heavy sentence on one of its men
for sleeping while on picket duty. For
this offense Private William G .Ledlie
will serve six months in prison at st.
Augustine, Fla, and then be dishonorably
discharged.
Maj C. NJ. Drake, who was recently as
signed to the First Division, Third Corps,
as chief surgeon of the division hospital,
is making time count. He has undertaken
most important changes which will add
greatly to the sanitary condition of. the
hospital. He has had the tents all sys-
tematically rearrangsd placing the wards
that are used for typhoid fever and con-
tagioUs diseases
APART FROM THE OTHERS
and on higher ground. In addition to the
the streets are all being nicely paved,
walks are being constructed of gravel
and bordered with stone, and a thorough
drainage system is being provided. new
commissary has also been established.
There are now II regiments at the park
with temperance canteens. The Y. M. c.
A. has made great inroads on the places
where beer has been sold. Beer can be
purchased at only about Is canteens now
Gen. Wade and staff and the signal
corps will move next Tuesday from the
present location, near the vineyard house,
to Snodgrass hill.
