thoughts OF hold up would come to
some OF the party's minds. and they would

Crawfish spring may be three and a half
miles southwest of camp, but there is not a
man of the party who will not swear ii is
curry the party finally reached its destina-
ton.
Chickamauga on the Chattanooga, Rome
& Southern Railroad. Here is a spring
which flows 100000 gallons of water daily.
The water comes rushing out from a large
mole in the ground, ana it comes with
force like a milrace. The water is clear
and cold, and tastes like home when you
take a drink of it, 1t may be realized how
much water comes out when it is said that
Crawfish spring is the source of Chicka-
manga creek. which is a much larger
stream than Fall creek; in fact. ii is about
as large as White river at home. Upon g.
nigh bluff above the spring is the large no.
tel, containing seventy rooms, which Mrs
X. q. Letter, of Chicago, has purchased and
will present to the government to be used
as hospital After drinking from the
the party mounted again and started for
camp.
The regiments invalids are convalescing.
Colonel Smith is recovering from stiffness
resulting from his fall. Adjutant William
Poland, who was indisposed for a few days,
is himself again and can stride through
camp just the same as he used to.
Hospital Steward Newland, after his es-
capade with a mule, tried going to town on
horseback. The horse was a trotter and
NeWland now takes his meals either stand
ing up or lying down.
Division Surgeon Charlton is feeling the
effects of the change. and at present is
down on his back He promises to be all
right in few days.
Adjutant Powell has discovered a new
swimming hole, and takes his daily swim
on rock bottom. where he has a clean, fiat
bank TO climb out on.
Serg. Maj Brazngton tries to emulate the
example set by the man who hung his
clothes on a hickory limb and did not go
near the water. He gets in over his ankles
and then takes a sponge BATH Some say he
cannot swim, while others insist that he is
afraid of ducking.
Orders have been issued prohibiting any
one, commissioned officers included, from
crossing guard lines without a pass. This
will tend to prevent visiting between regi-
mentS.
Private Will Steinhauer, of Company c.
who was released from the hospital, having
sufficiently recovered from appendicitis is
in the hospital again. He is suffering from
heart trouble, and may have to be dis
charged.
Lieut.. Col Thayer and Adjutant Powell
will probably return home in a few days as
recruiting officers.
The men and officers of the One-hundred-
and-fifty- eighth are glad to see that Capt.
II. S. New has been ordered to report to
General Brooke here, and they hope he
may be attached to the Second Brigade
The different companies are practcing
sighting, preparatory to work on the target
range. They all hope to become sharp
shooters
The surgeon yesterday finished vaccinat-
ing the regiment, and every man in 1t has
now had his arm scraped.
The officers of the Observation-Disclosures fifty
eighth's staff think they have the finest
headquarters in camp. Every tent has a
floor and a fly in front of it. The camp is
clean and all in apple-pie order. j. l. II.
