Col. Chambers yesterday received a dispatch from Gen. Halleck, ordering the 16th to be ready for marching orders. When these men go, our camp will be destitute of troops, or nearly so, for the first time since it was established; and we think it will be a long time before as fine a regiment as the 16th will be encamped here again.
