for the purpose of making all necessary
arrangements for camp grounds and many
otner requirements incident to the pres

tsements inviting proposals for all camp
| accessories and grounds will be issued in
| the local newspapers with a view to hav-

| when it arrives.
The command of the army will devolve
| upon Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who is

will probably be at Atlanta, where Gen.
Graham, who has command of the DEPART

Gen. Miles permanent headquarters will
depend entirely upon the exigencies of the

paign. He will leave the city soon for his
