The order by which Gen. II. T. Douglas
of the Second Brigade of the First Divis
ion and Gen. f. b. Williston of the First
Brigade of the Second Division were 20
change commands, each taking that OF
the other, has been rescinded, and the gem
erals VIII remain in command OF their re-
spective brigades. 1t is understood that
the reVocat ton of the order changing their
commands came about through the re-
quest OF both They are thoroughly sat
isied where they are, and neither wished
! to make a change.
| The following order has been Issued to
! insure lumber being found where il is left
by workmen in the camps:
Complaints having been received from
contractors that the material they have
/ left in camp has been appropriated by
! troops of this command, and applied for
| purposes for which ii was not intended,
the commanding officers of camps in which
! contractors material is located will place
! guards over Il 10 insure its safety.
! Col. o. E. Wood. chief commissary OF
! the corps, made an extensive inspection
| yesterday of the bakeries, company kttch-
| ems, messes, and all matters pertaining TO
| the commissary department in the First
| Division camp on Dale avenue. The regb-
mental bakeries are all up, and are turn
/ ing out as fine bread as can be baked any
where. The company kitchens were all
| found in good shape, and everything was
| in tirst-class order, though some of the
! men have been here scarcely a week. The
/ situation shows what the volunteer troops
can do when they are put to the test. The
| commssary department in the First Divis-
ion Col. Wood says, is in as good shape
as If the troops had been here for three
months, and the situation is OF course,
very gratifying.
The sewage problem is one of the most
important with which the officers of the
corps are having to deal just now. There
was no telling when the troops came just
how long they would be here, but now
that IL looks as If they would remain for
some time, the question is assuming some
magnitude. The corps is at present using
a system similar to the barrel system in
some regiments, but what will finally be
done is a matter that has not yet been de-
cided-
The following order, which is of special
! Interest to the hospital corps. has just been
issued from the war department:
'Prvates Of the hospital corps, United
States army who have been transferred
from volunteer regiments which are to be
| mustered out of service Will be discharg-
ed, if they so request, upon the day on
which their former regiment is mustered
out, providing that their service has been
| honest and faithful. The names of such
men will be forwarded by the surgeons
commanding hospitals and ambulance
companies through military channels to
the adjutant general with as little delay
as practicable. Applications for discharge
of men Of the hospital corps who enlisted
in that corps, or who were transferred
from regiments still in service, will not be
approved except under extraordinary CIR
cumstances. In forwarding all app1ca-
lions for discharge, surgeons Will see that
the date of enlistment or of transfer to the
hospital corps is correctly stated, with
