Lays Of Camp Alger.
Long lines of loaded wagons crossed and
recrossed the dusty roads at Camp Alger
yesterday. Three of the regiments moved
and the day was one of toll and pain to
the decamping troops.
The Fourth Missouri left its fine, high
location and came down to where the
tents of the First Rhode Island had
stood. The First New Jersey occupied
the space vacated by the Fourth Missouri
and the First Rhode Island went south
into the woods. The object of this chang
ing around is to get the regiments located
in brigades. Three regiments will now
occupy the space vacated by the Fourth
Missouri
The men hardly relished the idea of
moving after being comfortably settled.
The Rhode Island boys went without food
from breakfast until supper time, and
then only received a few bites

one, that we are starving today. We
don't mind getting a little food three
times a day. but when it is shut off alto
gether. we kick"
This is enough to make a fellow be-
lieve the Maine wasn't blown up at all, >
said another.
The troops of the moving regiments
were kept busy chopping down trees
taking down and putting up tents, and
even though the sun was broiling, they
worked like beavers
