The entire brigade of three regiments
will leave Camp Ramsey tomorrow, and
by evening Camp Ramsey will have
passed into history. The Twelfth reg
iment will board the cars for Chicka-
manga at II o'clock in the morning;
the Thirteenth and Fourteenth between
noon and 4 o'clock. and by dark all
three regiments will be speeding to-
ward their destinations-the Thirteenth
to San Francisco and the others TO
Chickamauga.
1t was the intention of Col. Reeve to
move yesterday afternoon when cars
were ready to take his men, but he
decided that he would not have his
men leave camp until they were fully
provided with uniforms and other ne
cessary equipments, especially tents.
He said he did not want to take
chances with 10000 other troops who
will be quartered in the Preside at San
Francisco and who will scramble for
tents and other supplies as soon as they
arrive there. He preferred to delay at
this end of the line rather than run
the risk of neglect at the other end,
so he deferred departure until tomor-
row, when it is promised that he shall
have everything his men require for
q comfortable journey.
The Thirteenth will travel over the
Omaha road, and the train will con-
sist of thirty eight cars in four sec
tions.
There will be twenty-nine tourist
cars, four standard sleepers, four bag
gage cars and one horse car The train
will proceed to Norfolk, Neb. where it
will be transferred to the Union Pa
go to San Francisco by way Of the
Southern Pacific
The Twelfth regiment will begin to
load its baggage at 7:3O a. M, and at
1880 the men will board the train. AS
soon as they are away the Thirteenth
and Fourteenth will load Though the
two regiments will embark at the same
time they will not conflict, for the
trains will be on separate tracks.
There Will be a lively time in camp
when the regiments start
The quarternaSters and commits
saries packed up their stores yesterday
in preparation for the exodus. They
have six days travel rations on hand.
The hospital corps were actively en-
gagged in boxing their medical stores,

Inc doctors have all made their per-

There was another fight in camp Fri
day night. Capt. Bacon, of Company
l, Fourteenth regiment. who was Of
hcer OF the day, directed that the blind
pig, run by Dan McElvoy, be sup
pressed again. 1t had been cleaned out
three times before by the men in camp.
The captains orders were obeyed with
alacrlty, and in a very few moments
McElvoy's establishment was a wreck.
and the proprietor was a guest of the
regiment in the guard house. He was
released yesterday morning, and in the
afternoon he applied to Col Van Duzee
For the restoration of his property. 1t
was given back to him, with a warning
that, if he was caught again selling
liquor in the place, he would be prose-
cuted.
The men of all the regiments are
greatly pleased that they are to get
away tomorrow. They have nearly all
their belongings packed and ready for
the trains, and they are anxious to be
on the move. Nothing wearies and
worries a soldier more than uncer-
tainty, such as they have had the past
week. They have not been able to
maintain the same discipline they will
be obliged to keep in camp in future, on
account of the proximity to the two
cities and the frequent visits Of friends
This day is the one most dreaded by
ha OH
surely be the last Sunday of the bril-
gade in camp, and the friends of the
soldiers from every town in the state
will come to the camp to bid farewell to
the men. The men will nearly all be
broken up by tonight, and it will take
considerable excitement tomorrow to
brace them up.
Col. Van Duzee said last evening that
there was misrepresentation regarding
war department and Gov. Clough which
he wished to have Strengthened. He
said he did not refuse to obey an order
issued by the governor to turn over
some of his guns to the Thirteenth reg
iment but he did not obey it because
it was countermanded by the war de-
partment.
II never have refused to obey an or
der from the governor" he said. II
shall always take pleasure in observing
any request made by Gov. Clough."
Col. Van Duzee also said he wished
to express his thanks publicly to Supt.
Randall, Of the fair grounds, for the
courteous way he had treated the Four
teenth regiment since it came to camp.
Mr.. Randall. said Col. Van Duzee,
"has granted every favor we asked of
him and I want it known that our stay
at the camp has been made more
pleasant than it otherwise would have
