Jacksonville Fla, Sept. cit was
the general expectation Monday
among the members of the first Wis
consin regiment that orders would be
issued for the troops to be ready to
leave at some certain hour today or
tomorrow, but no such orders were
given. The boys, however, hope today
to learn the definite hour of their
departure for the north. They have
Frightened up wonderfully in the past
few days in anticipation of their
early arrival home. II -l~'-
Of total of % members in the
band, only men are not sick. Much
of the sickness in Co. G, and the
band is attributed to the digging of
a trench between the band and Co.
G quarters. In Jacksonville there is
an ordinance prohibiting excavation
of ground in summer on account of
fever, yet a ditch six feet, six inches
deep, was dug on the edge of the
Wisconsin camp for sewerage pur-
poses, and it is noticeable that in the
regiment the highest sick rate is in
the band and the Madison company.
Trenches for tent drainage also were
dug and much sickness followed soon
after.
The trains carrying the list Wiscon-
sin regiment will leave here over the
, Plant system to Montgomery, Ala.
, thence via the Louisville & Nash
, vile line to Cincinnati and over the
Big Four to Chicago. The Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul will carry the
soldiers from Chicago to Milwaukee.
