The headquarters, band and Companies
L and d OF the Two Hundred and Second
New York Regiment arrived from quaran-
tine last night at II o'clock and proceeded
at once 10 the camp that was vacated day
before yesterday by the Third Connecticut
Regiment which was mustered out of the
service The troops came up on the steam
er Saniee and were the first that vessel
has handled. As there is to be a lively
movement during the next few days from
quarantine TO the city, however, ii is like
~ she will have a record for transporting
troops
Col. Beniuger expects TO have the re-
manning companies of the regiment in camp
by night. II is not likely that all the heavy
baggage of the command can be brought
up during the day as that has to undergo
distinction as well. but it will be brought
as soon as possible. The men will be thor
oughly comfortable in camp, as the tents
used by the Third were left standing and
the site was left much cleaner than is US
ually the case when troops have been mus
tered out on them.
Forty wagons were at the Gordon wharf
last night TO meet the officers and men whs
got in on the Santee. Orders had been sent
the corrals to have the transportation
ready, and it was in waiting when the New
Workers disembaTked. The wagons were at
once taken for the camp, and a long walk
at dead of night was saved the men.
After dscharging the men the Santee
went back to quarantine. Men were at
work on her yesterday and last night TO
get the big steam disinfecting plant in
operating order, and it is thought this
work will be finished to-day. When. the
plant can be added TO that at the sta
ton, the disinfection of the baggage and
clothing of the troops can proceed much
faster. 1t Is expected something may be
done with the Santee disinfector to-day
The vessel VIII be used for bringing up
the remaining companies of the regiment
when the quarantine officials have con-
cluded their operations.
The Second Louisiana Regiment will ar
rive to-day at the mouth of the river on
the Ward Line steamship Havana. The 1
Santee viii meet the vessel and receive /
the Louisiana troops and their baggage
She will take them to Fort Pulaski and
the regiment will be the first to camp
within its walls since the civil war Col
Belhnger expects to have the regiment
disinfected and camped where the Sixth
Immunes were within forty -eight hours
from the time 1t lands at Fort Pulaski.
The Havana. when her troops have been
discharged, viii proceed on her way TO
New York
The companies of the Louisiana regi-
ment will be commenced with as soon as
the dsihfection of the Two Hundred and
Second New York is completed None of
the men viii be allowed to come in con-
tact after being dsinfected with those who
have not been. Every care will be ex-
ercised to prevent the possibility of dis
ease finding its way into the city. Thus
far there has been no evidence of con-
tagion aboard the transports With the
exception oil the Chester and the Sixth
Immune Regiment, which brought in
case of smallpox, there has been nothing
discovered. One of the officers OF the New
York regiment. who arrived last night
said there had been some malarial fever
aboard the Thomas on her trip. but the
sickness was not serious. He said there
had been absolutely nothing of a contagl-
Gus character.
After the Second Louisiana, the Third
Georgia is to be the next regiment to ar
rive. 1t is not known just when it will
get here, but 1t is possible the command
will arrive at the mouth of the river to-
morrow on the transport Logan. The pro-
gramme for the arrival of the other regl-
ments, though 1t is possible il may be
changed If ii is found the work Of getting
them all here before April ! can be facii-
tated, is as follows: One Hundred and six
tieth Indiana, on the Thomas; THIRD I'M
munes, on the Sedgewick; Second South
Carolina, by the Plant Line, via Port Tam,
pa; First North Carolina on the VIgilan-
Ga; Fourth Virginia, on the Dixie; Third
Kentucky, on the Logan, and the Fourth
Tennessee, on the Havana.
All vessels will come direct to quarantine
station OF discharge their troops for Fort
Pulaski, unless they may be directed at
Havana 10 proceed to Sapelo. They will
not go to Sapelo unless it is for some spe-
cial fumigation.
