Back to North Carolina.
| All talk today is Of the movement
home tomorrow The soldiers have
been paid off, the battles, the ma
he
are over Now it is back to North
Carolina.
1t is a happy thing TO report that
not one man has been seriously SICK,
the cases looked after by the Hospltal
Corps being only minor ones Anothef
thing is that good order prevails ana
has prevailed throughout the camp
The guard house has not had one oc-
cupant and the seven tents of the
guard stand open as not one has been
needed.
The outpost attack against an
enemy and the moving up of rein
forCemcnts was the problem worked
out Yesterday by the North Carollna
and Tennessee regiments. Ioday
there was a sham battle and in this
the Second Battalion, Major w l..
MCGEE commanding, was in the Blue
forces with the regulars, while the
Tennessee regiments and the othef
two battaliOns of the North Carolina
regiment composed the Browns. me
cavalry and artillery We're used, the
hospital corps was at work and the
boom Of bic guns made it sound like
a real battle.
A Working Encampment.
This has been an encampment of
work and hard work, without dress
parades While the soldiers have
marched much through the woods
they have stood it well, and there IS
no complaint The men say that the
instruction here has realty increased
their military knowledge.
North Cardinals Crack Band.
Even the Tennessee regiments, with
their own band acknowledge that
North Carolina has the crack band
here, even when compared with the
band of the regulars. A group of Ten
nessee privates in talking said in the
hearing of a North Carolina soldier
That North Carolina regiment has
Tennessee beat to standstlll ana IS
miles ahead of the regulars in its
band"
Last night many Of the boys after
being paid off visited Chattanooga
and tonight there will be another
batch there. No reports of misbe-
Ihavior in Chattanooga has reached
the camp and North Carolina thus
far stands at the head of all the other
State regiments that have visited
iChickamauga Park That is the good
name that the boys bring back to
North Carolina. and having lived in
their midst in camp I can say 1t IS
just praise to give them.
