another regiment to leave Camp Alger
right away, and he has chosen the
Eighth and half OF the Sixth Illinois.
The other six companies OF the Sixth
Illinois and the Six Massachusetts are
to break camp not later than Monday.

patient could put the whole camp on it's

upon as the principal source OF danger.
Some of the wells are sunk to depth
OF 65 or 20 feet. but 1t is said to be pos
sible for the germs OF typhoid to reach
that depth, owing to the sandy nature
Of the soil. The surgeons making the
investigation say that IL when their re-
port is made Chief Surgeon GIrard per-
sists in holding that the water is pure
