Camp Glenn, near Wrightsville, n.
c., July 25.-Tomorrow morning az
4:40 o'clock the soldiers will break
camp and the encampment of the Sec
ond and Third regiments will pass in
to history.
In many respects it is one of The
best encampments ever held in the
State. The camp has been orderly and
quiet and more discipline has been
shown. The commissary department
has been handled SO efficiently that
there has been no kicking whatever.
Being in close touch with Whining
ton has been of great benefit and en-
phasies the necessity of the encamp-
ment being located near a city of I'm
beach have made many pleasant
hours to the boys which might 9TH
erwise have been dull.
The event of the day was the paying
off of the troops by Genl. Macon,
who is designated by the war depart
ment as disbursing officer.
The Third regiment was formed
and paid off first, then followed the
Second.
The companies beginning at the
right marched to General Macon's
headquarters and each man paid in
person and in cash. AS fast as they
were paid they dropped from the
ranks 1t was a new and interesting
experience to the men.
General Macon was assisted in his
work by Col. Gray, Major Massenburg
and Sergeant Curtin.
