The disappointment the men expert

been dispelled since the arrival here.
The spot is admirably fitted for a camp.
u has every natural advantage ana the
surroundings are all that could be de-
sired Wooded hills and moving corn
fields can be seen from all points.
That the camp is intended for in
struction is shown by the number Of
drills and other maneuyers which the
men are being put through Lieutenant

who is here to assist in the work Of
placing the guard on a standard with

Open order OF drill will be used extern
sively during the camp to prepare the
men for the Bull Run campaign in Sep
place in the battalion that will repre-
sent Delaware and the result is that
more interest is being taken In drtll

showing up better in every way.

There were but few visitors in camp
Those who came drove from the sur.

walking about the camp and convers

trains are run TO Cooch's Station or

away. There were some who came tC

the hack service will be improved anC
