CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June 8o.-Tho frst
Of troops from ChickamauRa in sew
erAl weeks will take place tomorrow. Orders
were received by Gen. Brooke to-day to send
the First Ohio Cavalry to Miami, Fla, at once.
Tho regiment is practically equipped for SER
vice, and 1t 10 understood that II will soon 10 TO
Santiago. Tho Buckeye Boys' are breaking
camp tonight, and, under command Of Lieut.
Col. Day, will leave for Florida early in the
morning.
Preparations for tho movement TO the front
continue with undated zeal. A visit to Gen.
Brooko's headquarters this morning revealed
tho fact that the commander Of tho army at
Camp Thomas. with Gen. Sheridan and Major
Glasnford, chief OF the Signal Corps. was very
carefully studying q map Of tho proposed route
by which tho General will take his mon 10 Porto
Rico. Transportation has been arranged for at
least ten regiments, which will leave Camp
Thomas within tho next nvo days. It 10
probable that arrangements will be made
to load tho regiments at Lytlo instead of
Rossville, thereby avoiding the long march
Of six miles. 1t is now we'll established that
Gen. Brooke will command tho First Army
Corps. Gen. Sheridan and Gen. Boynton will
both be appointed as brigade commanders.
Gen. Boynton received his appointment ten
days ago, but as yet has not beon assigned to q
command. Major-Gen. Wade 10 acknowledged
to DO the successor to Gen. Brooke In command
of the army at ChickamRuga.
Capt. Rockwell of tho Ordnance Department
was busy to-day issuing guns, cartridge belts
and ammunition to the troops. Tho last Of tho
now saddles for the GriEsby cowboys wero issued
to them this morning and tho rough riders are
very happy. The strain on the Quartermaster's
Department has boon very heavy for the past
threo days, while tho work Of eduippinR the
First Corps has been so vigorously prosecuted.
Perhaps the busiest scene has been at the offlco

clothing and equipaGe. At his Office q largo
force of clerks and men has been engaged issu-
ing tentage. clothing. including underwear, uni
forms and shoes. hose and campaign hats. On
Sunday morning his spacious warehouse was
well oiled with material Of this character. while
last night there was scarcely any supplies on
hand. Several carloads arrived this morning,
however, thus replenishing his stock.
During tho past three days an enormous
amount of goods has been issued, but 1t 10 i'm
possible to ascertain the correct amount. Inside
of three hours Capt. Zalinski Issued 10. 900 blue
army shirts and about 10000 rubber ponchos.
not to mention the other supplies melted out. A
stream of wagons hauled the equipments from
tho warehouse. In addition to these supplies

amount Of supplies at tho headquarters OF Capt.
Zalinski, no will soon have another heavy stock
on hand. Over thirty carloads Of supplies arc
now On route to Camp Thomas and will be dis
tributed upon their arrival. These cara contain
supplies of every character and description.

have received all the tontage due, with shoes.

Capt. Rockwell Estimated to-day that tweuty
regiments are now in readiness to move.
1t is settled thai Major Glassford's Signal
Corps will leave Camp Thomas with tho First
Corps when It moves south. The Signal Corps
has been practicing for tho past several weeks
and has reached . high plano Of proficiency. In
Major GlasSford'S corps arc about 65 men in
