Notwithstanding the many thousands of soldiers congregated at the different camps in and near this city, it is a matter of congratulation that but few of them, comparatively, have been on the sick list. This is surprising when we consider how very different their present life is from that which they have been accustomed to lead at home. We have heard, as yet, of but one fatal termination to any sickness of the soldiers. One of the Virginia volunteers, from Montgomery county, died with the measles at the Central Fair Grounds on Saturday. We did not learn his name.
