TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
Discouraging Prospects.

New YORK, Aug. S.-Troubles beset
the officers charged W tn the establish
ment of the camp st Montauk Point.
General Young planned to have 300
tents erected by sunset yesterday, but
the failure of 200 laborers who had been
engaged to appear made it impossible.
What makes the situation more diff
cult is the utter failure as yet 10 ind
water anywhere near the camp. Two
pinch pipes were sunk IN the
sand near the station yesterday,
but the water was brackish. For
three days 100 diggers have been
sinking holes in the hills and the val
leys all about the site of the camp but
not drop of water has been found.
Surgeon General Sternberg, when he
inspected the point, reported that ell
conditions were favorable to camp.
When the we'll diggers arrived big
ooulders which made digging almost
impossible, were found as deep as
20 feet below the surface, and shaft
after shaft was sunk only to be aban-
doned until the slope from Fort Plain
to Rocky Ridgeis fairly honeycombed.
At the foot of the ridge at the north
end OF the plain it is proposed to sink
ten-inch pipe which, if water is
found in sufficient quantities, will sup
ply 100000 gallons OF water day,
enough for the cavalry camp and for
half the infantry as well. But only
water gravel has been found as yet.
The hole is already 24 feet and many
large boulders have been removed by
means of ropes. Pipes and pumps have
been placed at intervals all over the
plain for - small pumps which will be
sunk if possible to give each infantry
company a pump Of its own in its
camp. The men in charge OF the dig
ging have to admit that the prospects
for water are poor. Extra men were
put to work this morning, but no sue
cess has yet been met with. General
Young had to report nothing but fail
ures as far as water is concerned. II is
stated that that despite the delay, shell
ter and food will be provided for the
first detachment Of troops, which is ex.
pected to arrive to day. The men and
horses will drink water from Great
Pond, which is slightly favored with
salt.

THE MOVING TROOPS.

The Second Division OF volunteer
regiments from Camp Alger are Ell
camped at BTistow, about four miles
from Manassas. They arrived at the
site selected and pitched their shelter
tents yesterday afternoon. There is G
great scarcity OF water. The residents
turned out all along the route to see the
"Yanks" pass by, and at Manassas the
citiz ans filed the sidewalks. March
ing grew more difficult al er Manassas
was left behind, for the heat became
intense and forced the men to slacken
heir pace. Bristow was reached about
II o'clock. There were IS cases OF ex
haustion.
Another site will no doubt have tc
be selected at once, and the soldier;
will probably pack up their tents and
march again to-day.
The soldiers committed many depre-
iations on their march on Friday
Severals cows were stolen and killed
and pigs, chickens, &c, were stolen By
the score.
Two companies Of soldiers guarded
the village of Clifton and adjoining
property. but the soldiers have toraget
extensively, and many Of the farmer:
report losses of one kind or another.
A dispatch from Washington says
the troops that have left Camp Algel
for Manassas have not been ordered
back. as reported, and, as far as ir for
nation can be obtained at the Was
Department, the original programme o.
marching through northern Virginia in
campaign order will not be departed
from.
A dispatch from Camp Alger say:
the permanent camp Of the Second
army corps will likely be near Thor
oughfare Gap, at the base of Pond and
Bull Run Mountains, about twelve
miles from Manassas. Orders 10 thi;
effect will probably be Issued within
the next twenty-four hours. This 10
cation is due to the report made by
Maj. Gen. Butler and other officers
who inspected the entire country ad-
acent to Manassas.
