SOLDIERSJH WET. Camps of Second Ohio to be Moved Out of the Mud. INVESTIGATION BOARDS Comforts of the G<;ard House—Pay masters Expected Any Day, School for Officers, The rainy weather keeps all of the ®ol dfern in camp and very few of the men have ventured out in the rain today. The i camp yf the Second Ohio regiment is in a terrible condition. The effid that was , hauled and placed on the company streets i to keep dow nthe mud has all washed away and the camp la as muddy if not muddier thar ever. The camp its locate* on a red clay hill wh|ch in rainy weather becomes muddy and remains that way for several days. There i« some talk of removing this camp to the site recently occupied by the ’First Georgia. This site is one of the best around Macon and it is on sandy eoil. ■ The camps of the other regimentr- are j all in good shape and the rainy weather I gives the troops no trouble except that I they have to remain in camp. All drills ' have to be discontinued «in 'this kind of j weather, as the officers have orders not to subject the men to exposure any more than is ncessary. , The remainder of Co. M of the Second , Ohio, which has been at Camp Fornance . since the arival of the regiment, has been I detailed for guard duty and the men re i ported at the guard house this morning. ' This wil make four companies, or a ba j tailion that are now on duty. The whole 1 batallion is in charge of Maj. Logan, the ; provost marshal. A News reporter was I shown through the guard house last night ' by Capt. Deming of the Second Ohio. The i quarters are well aranged and Capt. Dem , ing says that it is the best place that the men have had since they have been out. On the ground floor are the officers’ quarters and offices. The cells are also on ithis floor. The cells are on the left of the entrance. They are large, and well lighted and very comfortable. There are three cells in all. on for non-commisioned officers, one for the white soldiers and one for the negroes. On the second and third floors are the sleeping quarters of the men. Two companies are on each floor. All of the mefi have cots and are well supplied with blankets. All of them say that they had rather be on duty this kind of weather than to be in camp, as they only have :o stay on for two hours at a time an •. hen off duty they have a house sleep in. In the I .sement arc the sinks and baths. ' Shower baths of hot and cold water have ; been arranged. In the basement is also I a shower bath enclosed in a cell. This is ; used for unruly prisoners. If a man be comes too unruly he is locked in that cell 1 and is kept there until he submits. All i of the men stand in dread of this cell and I the officers only have to mention it to j quiet an unruly soldier. At present there I fire ■pnly a few prisioners in the guard ‘ house. | Tomorrow the regular weekly Inspection i will take place. The inspection is rigid : 1 and careful. The camps, quarters, cloth i ing, arms, equipments and other things I [ are inspected by the regimental command- I i er under the supervision of the brigade j j commander. After the inspection the bri- i I gade commander makes the reports and I recommendations to the commanding gen i oral. In the afternoon if rhe weather is I net too inclement dress parades will be i given by all of the regiments. During the past week officers and non j commissioned officers schools have been in sesion. The schools have been taught by officers from the regular army. Prac tical and theoretical instruction is now being given the troops. It has been ordered by Gen. Wilson that flag staffs be erected at ail of the regi mental headquarters and that the flags be run up. He has also ordered that none of the men be allowed to leave the camps after night fall unless they are detailed for duty. i The Sixth Virginia regiment is still ’un der are st and a board of officers has been detailed to investigate the mutiny which occwicd on the arrival of the regiment. It is probable that as soon as the cause of the trouble .is learned that the men will be released from arrest. It is thought that the troops will be kept here for some tim© yet. as no orders i have been isued in regard to moving. It { is probable that rhe soldiers will be kept here until February. The signal corps has completed its work i and rhe headquarters of the different com- I manders are now connected by telephone. No telegraph lines will be run fcr rhe ' ! prestn as teh telephone is all that is con : sidered necessary. The board of officers that has been in j sesion for several days to investigate as j to the competency of several of the negro I ’’officers has not yet made a report. Gen. I Bates said this morning that it would take { the board some time yet to complete the I work. I The paymasters are expected here at I any time. They have no certain time of : coming and are liable to turn up any day ' with the money to pay oft’ the troops. ! The sergeants are making our the pay i roll§ so as to have them in readiness I . for the paymasters when they arrive. i Two ambulance wagons will be used hereafter to carry the prisoners to the guard house. They will be used on the same plan as the police patrol wagons. RiflQ practice will begin in a few days 1 and the men are looking forward to that I time with .pleasure, as it is among the few amusements that the soldiers have. It is now very probable that the Sec ond Ohio football team will play the Ma con team at an early date. The colonel of the regiment has given the men per mision to play and they will begin prac tice for the game next week. . State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County. . . 1 Frank J.
