TE'S OPINION, A Man {a the Ranks Gives His Impress-. ~ fon of Camp Badd. A private in the Woodland Company gives the Mail of that city his opinion * of Camp Budd, and in the course of his'. . remarks says: iy. git “Life at camp toa citizen soldier is not the same ne strict routine of Paget with which ti the regular y is governed, though: they gre nicked to ¢ eat their superiors with all due military courtesy, and to attend strictly to _ camp duties. They go to camp fully determined to comply with these laws, . bat still expect some. recreation in the hours of rest and regard such privileges a3 an honored right to each. Camp Budd was deficient to a certain extent -in-this-respect:: In the first place, the first call to arise was sounded at 4:45. m. and the second at 5, Roll call followed immediately afterward, after which a few minutes was devoted to the manual of arms. There wasa wait of an hour and a half for breakfast, and after the morning meal a wait: of over an hour before the regular morning drill. During this lapse of time and util 12 m. no one was permitted to leave the camp. This caused much complaint among the ranks. They ~¢latmed that they should not have been compelled to arise so soon, or either should have been given the benefit of the time lost and permitted to leave the lines sqoner. Another disagreeable feature was the unusual amount of work at camp this year. On one occasion, (target practice) which consumed several hours hard work and a march of about six: mites, the regiment was taken out again after an hour or so rest and put through’ the tedious drill of review, all for the benefit.of some distinguished visitor. ‘The whole day was thus put in with a short iutermission in which the tired, dusty soldiers devoted their time and ‘attention removing the dust and dirt gathered on their previous exercise, “Reviews were a common thing. Nearly every day some ‘big bug’ would: arrive and the tired troops were comyelled.to go through the monotonous review for their amusement. This was rendered exceedingly disgusting on one occasion especially, when one of the highest officers in the State displayed an embarrassing ignorance of military tactics and duty. He was _gaided by. Gen. Muller and even: then came near making some awful blunders. “The soldiers drawn up in line in his honor witnessed the:confusion and suid to themselves, ‘and this is the man we were called out to honor.’ It was a soldierly example, and nae without its effect. “As a whole, though, the encampment. was beneficial. It can truthfully be said that the 2d regiment performed good work, even excellent. work. Discipline was good and the drills on. the field excellent. Just before their departure, Colonel Guthrie. and General Maller both congratulated them on their splendid appearance. Iu regard to company, battallion and. regimental: “commanders, enough praise cannot be bestowed. There was an evident display of love, loyalty and comradeship , between these and the men under -them. This criticism is directed wholly f the brigade sand those-otLers who atténded the enoa npment during their stay.” Will Be Here Next Monday.
