Red Oak, Aug. 10.The Fifty first
regiment, /. N. G., broke camp yester-
l3day morning at 8o'clock. At that hour
general call was sounded and the white
rowsof tents which designated the COM
1 pany streets were blotted out by their
simultaneous fall. A few moments la
tier Camp Walter Wagner was no more.
Tentage, stakes cooking ranges and
company baggage We're hastily loaded

Isanitary orders fol flowed that scarcely a
Handful of rubbish marked the camp
site. The weather for the entire eight

down warm, but a spendid breeze was
blowing all the time. The health of the

Twas satisfactory from every stand
point Strict discipline was demanded.
but no unnecessary red tape was used
to carry out the intentions of the milf

by soldiers and citizens alike.
