tain that whether Forest liill or the
Fair Grounds be chosen "a tine rendez-
vous camp, the name which tecame
familiar all over the South in 1S6l-65 Will
be the name by which the new camp Will
be known.
The public has christened II Camp Lee,
and the designation will sick, 1t has
not only the claim TO the name that it
is on the location of old Camp Lee. but
it is in the home of General Fitzhugh
Lee, who has attained international fame
in connection with our trouble with Spain,
who will probably command a division
formed here.
Old Camp Lee was named for General
Lighthouse Harry Lee in the late
ffties. and was established by several
cavalry companies Of the State. who
spent a portion Of the summer there in
camp
In April, 1861, Colonel William Gillian,
OF the Virginia Military Institute. was
given charge of camp Of instruction
there, which retained the old name-Camp
Lee Colonel Gillian retained command
until the formation of the Twentieth Viz
ginia Regiment, when he was chosen its
colonel and marched 10 the front.
on Saturday. April %, 1851, the First
Virginia Regiment pitched its tents there.
Among the companies already there
were the Danville Blues. Captain Graves;
Danville Grays Captain Claiborne,
Lynchburg Home Guard, Captain Car
land; Lynchburg Rife Grays. Captain
Langhorne, and Pittsylvania Blues, Cap
tain Luck.
On May 18th, the Louisa Infantry, Cap
tain Clayton G. Coleman. Jr. 81 men,
went into camp at the Fair Grounds,
IL Arsff IL.
$50 men, Captain NJ. l.. Shumaker. and
on 18th, the Louisa Rifles. Captain Ben
jamin j. Waldrop. 6j men, also.
Colonel John c. Shield, former editor
Of the Richmond Whig. succeeded Colo
mel Gillian as commandsnt OF the camp
with Captain James H. Bnford as his
adjutant. Colonel Shields had been
serving with the Richmond Howitzers,
being captain of the first company. Cap
tain Binford also served with the How
tiers. Colonel Shields is sim living, at
his home in Rockbridge county.
Old soldiers all over the South can tell
stories of Camp Lee. the hours Of hard
drill. morning and evening. and the es-
capades of the boys who often broke the
regulation requiring them 10 turn in al
o'clock by scaling the fence and coming
down town to the theatre, where they
witnessed triotc plays, and heard sung
Dixie" and The Bonnie Blue Flag"
The property upon which the camp was
located belonged 10 the heirs of General
Winfield Scott, and that adjoining. which
will probably be used for camp purposes,
also, is still owned by General ScOtts
heirs
The grounds are enclosed by a high
fence, and there are several buildings
upon them, among others being the Audi
forum, capable of accommodating seye-
raj thousand men.

outlined by Major General Lee for the
placing of the entire Seventh army corps

moyal OF his command to Tampa. Upon
the report OF Lieutenant Miley Of General
Skaters staff, who is inspecting prospec-
tive camp grounds at Miami and otner
east coast points. will depend In a great
measure the number of troops to be placed
along the east coast. Should his report be
favorable it is probable that the five regi-

held In the afternoon at the Tampa
