 each regiment, arrived within few
 hours of each other, and the work of
 detraining and getting to the camp
 site was done with alacrity.
 The site is excellent and Col. Stroups and the men are well pleased. There is an abundant supply of wa ter. The tents were erected in short order, and when taps was sounded
