A general belief prevaile that an universal U flit ting" is going on in Sebastopol. Constant trains of waggons across the bridge, and barges across the harbour, appear to be carrying away the domestic goods and chattels of the inhabitants. What passes across during the night cutunot be seen, bat it is sur mised that the Russians will not leave us all their arsenal and other stores, and that no little quantity of these are being transferred to the opposite side of the roadstead, under cover of the darkness. The close proximity of our Allies and ourselves to the, first line of defence, the extreme probability, almost amounting to a certainty, that this line must shortly be in oar possession ; the impending sate of the shipping, whether sank by the Russians themelves, or distroyeri by the Anise; the welbgreeeded. essetesee that, the outer line of defences taken, the inner lines must shortly fall; the effect of these circumstances, equally known to the enemy as to our selves; the great defensive preparations for holding a position on the north side, are all pointed at as ar guments that the great bridge has been constructed to facilitate the exodus which, to a certain extent, seems to be going on under our very observation. As laden oart after cart is seen to pass over, and boat after boat, some of the soldiers looking on seem to think that the Russians are acting very sourvily in thus depriving them of their hard-earned prizes, and hope that the assault may take place at least before the town is wholly cleared of its contents. In opposition to theself-assuranee that the south side is about to be abandoned, there is this belief, founded on the reports of spies and partly our knowledge of the movements of the enemy from observation, that the Russians are preparing to make a general and decisive attack on our position. The force of the Russians on the Mackenzie heights is known to be very great, and would appear to be daily concentra ting in greater numbers. The very existence in the Crimea of the main body of the Russian army must depend on some bold and determined move, and it is not unlikely that the Russian generals may hope, by overpowering numbers, to force our present extended position, and gain some signal advantage over us. On the other hand, the Allies are eager that the enemy may make the attempt; confidently trusting to what they consider, as well from the comparative courage of the troops as from the advantage of poli ticos, must be the inevitable result. The question at issue must shortly be decided, or the Russian army of the north must abandon its present encampments. I forward a diary of occurrences during the last three days. Sept. I.—The enemy again made an attempt last night to interrupt the progress of our new sap on the right attack, and again met with temporary success. They selected a time for their advance, when every thing around was in comparative obscurity, a short period before the moon acquired sufficient elevation to ' throw its light over that part of the ground of French. man'. Hill, where the party were working. It was about half-past 10 o'clock. They came on with a sudden rush, and a yell drove in some dozen double sentries who had been placed in advance of the men working ; and for a abort time were within the sap from which the unarmed workmen had been compelled hastily to retire. Some of the gabions were thrown over, and some tools taken. They were than driven out, but not without loss on our side. The affair cost us Captain Lionel Fraser, of the 95th Regiment, killed; Captain Charles Cornwallis Rose, of the Buffs, severely wounded and taken prisoner, and Lieutenant Mark Walker, Adjutant of the 30th Regiment, severely wounded. Lieutenant Walker was remarkably active on the occasion of this attack. He was struck on the shoulder by a shell, and the wound is of so dangerous and extensive a character, that it is feared it will prove fatal. Captain Roes, of the 3rd Buffs, was seen to be lying on the ground, and it was reported that he was very badly wounded. When sought for afterwards, to be brought in, it was found that he had been taken away by the enemy. Captain Fraser received his death-wound from a rifle ball. It was only the second time he had been in the trenches. Captain Anderson, who, as engineer, was directing the work, escaped unhurt. Captain Garnet Wolseley, 90th Regiment, who was acting as engineer on the previous night, was found to have been very severely hurt. He received no less than four wounds. Two of these wounds, were in the face, and one, it is feared, will lead to loss of sight in one eye. He was struck by several fragments of stone, which were driven against him by a round shot. The gallant conduct of :Captain William Pechell, of the 77th Regiment, on this occasion, is much spoken of. At the head of a small party of men, he not only drove the Russians back from the sap, but also from several of their ambuscades, which they had formed behind small walls of loose stones, and compelled them to retire into the ravine. A large body of the enemy crossed over the bridge from the north side to-day. It was calculated that there were about three thousand troops in all. In all pro bability these were an ordinary garrison relief. It hu been frequently noticed that the men from the north side cross in the day time, while those going over in return front the south si de have seldom been seen. It is probable that the troope who have been relieved pm over at night. Numerous carts have been pude( the bridge. Those from the south side are invariably laden ; from the north they are generally empty. It is not possible to distinguish the nature of the things being serried off; bat from the irregular shapes of the objects, their comparative lightness— for the art. are usually loaded to double their height and are drawn by only one or two horses—end from women being seen not unfrequently walking by and amompaoying them. it is generally supposed that they consist of articles of domestic furniture. The load in the cart is not infrequently covered over by tar paulin or canvas. No packages of uniform shape, nor' other indications of government stores, hava been ob served. The bridge is sufficiently wide for two carts to piss each ether readily, and at the same time to afford ample room for foot-passengers on both sides. It seems to be as mach as twelve or thirteen yards in width. About half way across is a draw-bridge, and on one side, near this opening, is a lofty flagstaff. Flap are hoisted for signals, and these are repeated at each end. Notice is thus given when the draw bridge is open that passengers are not to attempt to crone, and they as well es vehicles are detained near the landing- pl aces at either sad. The new works oa the north side are progressing very rapidly. Boorman working parties are en gaged upon them. Three new batteries have been commenced to the east of the great Star Fort, be tween it and the battery on the verge of the cliff at the entrance to the Bay of Inkennano—" the butte. tie de la eimetiere," as the French all it. Two new guns have been added to this last-named work, so that it is now armed with Dowries., instead a twelve, guns. The general Amster el the new works which have latelybees thrown up with so much rapidity by the Russians ea the north sills is owtsialy sive ; at the sans time some of the works, es pecially the throe last cassiessosd, will per. haps be able to sorry Om* firs late the Lambdas's Nam" awl into that pert of the citadel and town which borders on the road stead. Twelve new earthwork batteries can now be counted, which did not exist at all twelve days ago. Some of thew are finished in all respects but re ceiving their armament, even — the platforms being laid down. In four only are the embrasures not yet =They extend generally in two lima one um carried along the heights from the Wasp Fort to Fort Constantine, and having the embrasures directed against the sea on that side, the other line extending along the heights from Fort Constantine to the Cemetery Battery, and looking upon the road stead of Sebastopol. Several additions and outworks have also been made to the Star Fort. The works generally are of a very solid and massive character, and the rapidity with which they have been thrown up, exhibits the remarkable energy of the enemy to which we are opposed. This command of labour appears to be almost unlimited. Carts bringing forage and gabions, long beams of timber slang from four-wheeled waggons, rimilar to =if -waggons used for the same purpesean Visa main tarrying package., are ob served to come into the north side from the eastward daily. " Sebastopol on the north side," or " Vanity Fair" as souse call the Russian town on the opposite heights, notwithstanding that it is exposed to the risk of fire from the French rocket batten?. at Inker mann, has grown considerably of late. With an ordi nary tilt scope, all the movements, the going to and fro of a large and bustling population, can be sur veyed in "dumb show," and many of the occupations of the people in and about its nearest streets, distin guished. The French have only disturbed the tran quility of this town of huts and canvas, on one or two occasion., but distant as it is, it is completely within rocket range. The moderation of our Allies is no doubt due to the fact that the place is evidently occu pied by civilians, and is not a military settlement. Major-General Jones, of the Royal Engineers, who has been suffering from an aggravated attack of sciatica, and who at one time, it wee feared, would have to leave the Crimea, is much improved in health. The day has been sunny and dry, but cool. The moon is on the wane, and does not rise till a late hoar, affording a favourable interval between sunset and moon rise fir the occupation. of the working parties in the siege operations. The last few nights have been very cool, and the men in the trenches have felt the sudden change and contrast of temperature with what it was, lees than a fortnight ago, rather acutely. There as been a proportionate increase in the number of sick daring the last week, probably from this cause, together with the circumstance that many drafts of young and nosessoned soldiers have arrived lately. The 82nd Regiment arrived in the Indiana to-day, and the 66th and Met Regiments are reported to be outside. One of these regiments will relieve the 13th Light Infantry, hitherto stationed at Balaklava ; the latter moving up to join the First Division. Several vessels with drafts from England and Malta have also arrived. Sept. 2.—There was a constant fire of musketry during the night, but only from the sharpshooters stationed in the advanced parallel. The working parties were not employed at the recent sap. An officer of the 2nd battalion of the Rifle Brigade, Lieut. Lionel Cary, was wounded in the hand by • rifle shot, in the right attack last night. He lost one finger and part of another, in consequence of the injfluury. 'me was very little fire from the batteries to-day. In the afternoon, between 3 and 4 o'clock, a fire broke out in:the Karabelnaia suburb, behind the Little Itedan. The French had been actively shelling in this direction from their batteries near the Careening ravine. The fire continued burning for an hour and a half, and evidently spread over some considerable extent of ground. It occurred probably among some of the small houses formerly inhabited by the sailors in this neighbourhood. Some large rafts have been towed from the north side and brought towards Fort Paul to-day. They were floated through the opening near the centre of the bridge. Previous to their reaching the draw bridge, a dark flag was hoisted at the flag post on the bridge, and it remained free from all persons, excepting those employed near the opening, until the rafts were towed through and the drawbridge closed. As soon as this was accomplished, the flag was lowered, and immediately afterwards a throng of 1 1 persons, of both sexes, though chiefly men, and numerous carts and vehicles carrying loads, moved along it from Sebastopol towards the north side. A large number of carts and waggons continued to move in the same direction. At the landing-place, near the entrance to the South harbour, some barges were observed to be loaded with articles, which ap peared to be articles of furniture, and these after wards left for the north side. From sunset until 10 o'clock, when the moon rose above a dark bank of clouds, the evening was very dark. To prevent the working party being inter rupted, a heavy fire of musketry . was kept up in front. Toe shelliog was also very active. Late in the evening notice was given to all the troops to hold themselves in readiness for turning out at a moment's notice. Spies reported that the Rus sian army had been joined by a force consisting at least of thirty thousand men, and that an attack was intended. The cavalry videttes also reported an in- WIMPS of force and appearance of movement along the Mackenzie heights. Oar cavalry and part of the artillery were moved into to the plain at 2 a.m. The French artillery of the Imperial Guard, which had previously been stationed on the plateau near General Boequet's head-quarters, also took up a position on the side of a low sloping hill, in the middle of the Balaklava valley, ready to act in whatever direction their services might be called for. Asa matter of precaution, all the steamers in the harbour of Bslaklava were ordered to get up steam, and to be ready to go out to sea as soon as directions were given to do so. It was stated that the attack of the Russians was to be on a grand scale ; not only against the portion of the French and Sardinians above the Tobernaya but also against the right towards Balder, and against the siege works in front. The night passed away, however, and the day returned without even a demonstration on the part of the enemy. Sept. 3.—A fine bright morning. The sun exerts greater power than it has appeared to do for some days past, but its heat is tempered by a breeze from the north-west. It was positively cold when the troops were moving to the plain. The contrast be tween the temperature of • the night and the hours whea the sun is above the horizon, is at present strongly marked, and cannot fall to be very trying on the constitutions of the troops, unless due precaution is taken to provide for and meet the difference be tween the chills and the warmth to which they are exposed. Active exertions are being made to form divisional and general commissariat deptits of stores and provi sions. It is now felt that we cannot depend upon the railroad when the rainy weather sets in, and we have no other complete road between Balaklava and the front. The Woronoff road, on descending into the plain, passes obliquely across towards Kaman, and as no connecting road has been constructed betwedu it and Balaklays, and the interval of two miles or upwards will be converted into a mud lapse as soon as the rains set in, this way of com munication will be virtually stopped. The French road, which proceeds from Lukash, and passes by the French and English head-quarters to Bentleys, is io good repair and well drained, and will form a good way of communication, along the leR lank. They have also constructed an admirable road along the t Rant, all the way to Inkermano. Efforts are being made, by draining and other means, to make the railroad genre and available for use, and encou ragement has been given to the shopkeepers at ENDA totems as English Mum in front. Already Donee shops are being established near the Fourth Divides, dole to the tenni& The Ansa Tilley of Little Xamiesch has been formed in the line of the French flank road on the right, near to the point where this is crossed by the Woronsoff road, and its road•communication with the ports will remain good daring the winter. These measures will, it is hoped. render the troops independent of the necessity of com municating direct with the port.. when the winter has set in. The Himalaya steamer left with cavalry reinforce ments this morning for Bertch. Cossack intruders have shown themselves rather numerously of late. Half-past 9, p.m.—A very sharp musketry fire is going on in front. The moon has not risen, and, though the sky is clear from clouds, the stars afford but little light. The fire has been taken up by the batteries, and a heavy discharge of shot and shell is being thrown in the direction of the supposed sortie, and probable positions of reserves. 10 p.m.—The heavy fire lasted about 20 minutes, and has now subsided into the ordinary dropping fire of muskets and occasional csononade. The roar of the latter is repeated a hseiredfold by the reverbera tions among the mountains towards Balaklava, and dies away io a low rumbling murmur like the sound of very distant thunder. (PROM OUR OWN COI CAMP BEFORE SE Sarr. 4. For a novelt, , we hp* bad one quiet, Sabbath like Sunday—one of the very few such which ever permits the mind to dwell on the fact that the day is indeed a sacred one. During the earlier part el Saturday night a lively fire both of artillery and small arms had, as usual, been kept up in the trenches, but as morning drew on, it gradually subsided into occasional shots, and by early noon even these had almost ceased. Thence on till sundown • calm still ness reigned throughout the wide miles of tents, and, for the first time for many months, I felt that the day was indeed a holy one at home. Not the least of the drawbacks on this life of turmoil sad excitement is the gradual callousness which it Impe ders to everything that is solemn. Religious duties which, however much they might be practically neg lected, would still be reverently thought of, and the propriety of their observance theoretically admitted, at home—here become banished out of sight and thought, and the mind but too gladly takes refuge in the excuse that " circumstances alter cases." 'Io be sure, we have chaplains, and at a certain hour on Sunday mornings they may be seen coursing through the Litany in the centre of hollow squares; but how different is this piece of regimental or brigade routine, gone through in the midst of so many jarring and thought-dispelling associations—a murderous can nonade booming on the ear, and noisy activity every where before the eye, from the impressive services performed with all the adjuncts of outward decorum and consecrated rest which belong to the day in England ! If familiarity with death, indeed, tended to produce soberness or reflection, our religious int.- rests might suffer little through these disadvantages of place and circumstance; but the Grim Teacher has long ago lost hie terrors, and, in the absence of other admonitory influences, the Horatian maxim, I greatly fear, is the rule of life with moat of as. With sunset on Tuesday, however, again came the thundering salvoes from our own, hs French, and the enemy's batteries; and about au hour alter a sortie was made from the Malakhoff against the new parallels in progress along its front. The redoubt itself. at the same time, redoubled its fire upon the Mamelon, to prevent the occupants of the latter from playing on the salliers; but to this our twenty-one gun and Quarry batteries speedily replied, and in a few minutes the • Malakhoff, as seen from the height on which stands the Victoria Redoubt, seemed literally in a blaze with the constant showers of shell which were thrown into and exploded within it : its fire an the Mamelon was thus promptly silenced, and aided by their field-pieces the party in the saps were not long in rendering an account of their visitors, who retired leaving some twenty dead or wounded on the ground. The French, I am in formed, also lost some six or eight men in the scrim mage. Whilst comparative inactivity, however, thus reigns in the trenches, there is busy life and industry enough in the camp. Warned by their dear-bought experience of last winter, and justly distrustful of governmental promises, the commanding officers of regiments are taking time by the forelock, and making every preparation for the wintering of their men that can be done with small means and their own internal resources. The Army . . Works Corps, too, is busy in cutting draining trencbis and preparing roads, to which last, I am disposed to think, we shall be as much indebted for facility of transport from Balaklava during winter se to the miserable tramway which we have dignified with the name of railway. Badly made and badly managed, this costly product of Messrs. Peto and Betts' en gineering skill has disappointed everybody and fallen far short of the usefulness which was expected from it; indeed, considering the quality of the materials employed is its construction and the temporary cha racter of the whole work, I, for one of many, am puz zled to understand how it should have cost a third of the sum sffixed against it in the estimates. To be sure, the navvies employed on it did about as much work in a day here as they must have done at home in three hours; but even so, it is still difficult to see bow three or four hundred thousand pounds could have been expended on some eight miles of a line without either cuttings, tunnellings, or any one of the other items of constructive difficulty which constitute the costliness of railroads in England. As it is, however, it is well that we shall not be dependent on it alone for roadway during the winter; fee, not to mention the Woronzoff-road, which runs down from the ex treme front, between the Light and Fourth Divisions, till within about a couple of miles of Balaklava, where it winds aside to the Bardician camp, we shall have one other good stosed and drained road in the close neighbourhood of head-quarters. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT LATE ON THE DANUBE NT TURKISH CAMP, HEIGHTS OF HAMARA, SEPT. 3. Alarms are coming upon us in a perfect deluge. In addition to the legion of which I have already givenyon information, &growls& monster one yester day created and propagated by a swarm of spies, of whom no lees than six came over in the course of the day, all agreeing in stating that one of these daysl —that is to say, either to-day, to-morrow, or the day after—the position would be attacked on four dif ferent points by at least 90,000 men. This morn ing this information was confirmed by a letter re ceived from a Russian employe, who gives some ad ditional details, the nature of which I have not learned. The consequence was, that we passed the greater part of last night in waiting wearily for the day, which, however, dawned gloriously without a sound to disturb any one's slumbers wbo obese to go to bed and maks up for his vigils by a hearty more. There has been a small squabble between the Turks sad English relating to the road leading by the Ma rine Heights to Balaklava, which, after having been cut up by Sir Colin Campbell during the winter, was repaired by Omer Paola to facilitate his retr eat in once of s reverse here. It has been again cut scrum and palisaded by the English ; an official oorrespon dance ensued. and the rest has been that the Turks have levelled it again and made it fit for traffic, though owing to the aboard line they followed in cossinetiag some portioos of it two months ago, in many places it is too precipitous for artillery to de scend without the horses sod guns running imminent doh of tolling Late the abyss below. This Weir is a capital illustration of the confusion which prevails here, the utter want of all unity of action eveno the simplest matters. Sentinels are posted by each armi.ee if it were the only one in the Crimea and the othe.'s were interlopers who had no business here. The French cavalry are two. miles in advance of the Turks, and nevertheless the latter have their senti nels and pickets thrown forward against them, as if they were so many Cossacks. The English, in their turn, repudiate the Turks by cuttings ditch across the road behind them, and throwing out a sentaielle per due in front of the entrenchment on the heights, as if Omer Pacha's army were expected to assault it. When with these incidents one couples the fact, that not only are there four generals-in-chief, each inde pendent of the others, but that, in the defence of the one position on the Tcherneys, during the recent engagement, the two generals of in fantry, French and Sardinian, were independent each of the other, and the cavalry general of both, one cannot help likening the whole business to a fight in a fair, "everyman for himself and God for all." If any one supposes that this can go on long, even during the siege, or go on for a single day if a campaign were being carried on in the open field, without catastrophe, he is horribly mistaken. It is only kind Providence, the valour of the men, and ' " lee bitiaes de l'ennemi," as the French say, we can thank for having so long averted it. Another con sequence of this multiplicity of leaders is that everyone is growling about the short comings of his neighbours, and bemoaning his own hard lot. As if to supply the only thing that is wanting to turn bad mo rals into certain defeat, Omer Pasha, while leaving Osman Pacha in the chief command of the 16,000 Turkish troops, h.. given an independent command and separate instructions (talimat) to each of the two brigadiers, Ali Pacha and Ismail Paella; so that we Dave now in the Crimea six generals-in chief. It is to Osman Paths Generals Simpson and Pelissier look for the safety of the right of the position ; but, as he justly remarks, he cannot be answerable for it, were he ever so well disposed, seeing that the two generals who hold the key of it have orders from the Seidar-ekrem to retire whenever they like. What can have induced Omer Pacha to do this I am at a loss to imagine. I would not repeat, could I bring myself to believe it, the solution to the problem circulated in the camp—that he simply wished to render any triumph of the Turkish army in his absence impos sible. He has not yet arrived, though daily ex pected. His going to Asia his been, it appears, decided at last. He will take with him a coneidei- able portion of the force at present in the Crimea, and a large number of the English medical staff attached to his army, who, it is to be hoped, will have more practice there than here. Sept. 4.—The morning has passed over quietly, notwithstanding the alarm. It remains to be seen what to-mosrow will bring forth. NAVAL AND MILITARY. SOUTHAMPTON, Barr. 17. The screw steam transport Hydaspes left here yes tarday,with 450 tons of shells, 26 huts, and above 20 officers, many of whom belong to the Turkish Coatingent. She will Ball at Plymouth for a detachment of the Land Transport Corp.. The shells taken out by the Hydupes are all empty ones. They are 13, 10, end 8 inch shells. The huts are all for hospital service. They are much larger than those for housing the healthy troops. Each hut coasists of 642 pietas of timber, and weighs 22 tone. Ten esrpenters have gone in the Hydupes to erect them. The Hydupes took out from hence also about 20 tons of commissariat stores (or the Land Transport Cope. Amongst tt.ir officers also are the aiie•de-ampe to Major•Oeneral New and Lord Fitzroy. WOOLWICH, Sun. 17. The French imperial steam yacht Ariel, Captain de Bones., with his Highness Prince Napoleon Buonsparte and suite, lett Woolwich Dockyard on Sunday, at 12 a.m. The Pripet, after haring visited Londo n, _ lett by the 10 a.m. down train from London-bridge to Woolwich Arsenal, and from thence made way to the watergates, where be employed a wsterman to take him to the yacht, which was moored A the dockyard. thereby depriving the dockyard authorities of en opportunity of showing that cordial wel come which bad been intended. 82 great is the pressure upon the gun•fsctory of Wool wich, and the various workshops in connection with it, that for several months past there has been no cessation of toil day twilight] The factories are now closed only oa Satur day nights at 12 o'clock ; and although there are 8,000 per sons employed, they find it impossible to keep pace with the demand for all descriptions of warlike stores. GREAT REVIEW AT THE CURRAGH. DUBLIN, Sloe. 17. A military spectacle of no ordinary interest was witnessed on Saturday at the Curregh of Kildare, all the troops now encamped there, to the number of over 6,000 men, having been reviewed in presence of the Lord Lieu tenant. An immense concourse of people was attracted to the vicinity of the camp on the occasion, and the weather having been exceedingly fine, and the surrounding country very beautiful, the scene was one worth vitamin. The following regiments were on the ground, vie. :—Tho 3rd West York Militia, the 112th South Down Militia, the 94th or Clare Militia, the 76th sr Armagh Militia, the 99th or County Wexford Militia, the Limerick Militia, the North Cork Rifles, the 3rd Battalion 60thRilles, and the 96th Regi ment of the line. A large body of cavalry arrived during the morning from Newbridge, Kileollen, and Kildare, via. —the . ..depots of the god Dragoon., 3rd Dragoons, (6th Dragoons, Bth Hussars, and 11th Humors, together with two batteries of Royal Horse Artillery. The Lord- Lieutenant, accompanied by Lady Fanny Howard, Lady Dover, and the Hon. Mr. Labouctirre, arrived at Newbridge by special train at 12 o'clock, and after the manoeuvres of the day bad been gone through, the Viceregal party lest entertained at a dejesassr by the staff cfileen at their quarters. Lord Seaton, commander of the forces in Ireland, reviewed the troops. The following particulars of the progress of the camp are from the Freeemes Journal: Molars Courtney and Stephens's origami contracts to supply quarters for ten battalions of • thousand men each is all but completed. The quarters for nine battalions are already is the bands of the military authorities, and the one that musics will be banded over within a week. The ori ginal contract of the Messrs. Hollins, of Liverpool, is com plete, and the additional contracts taken by this firm are in a most forward state. Th.* churches for catholic and pro testant worship are progressing rapidly, and we are informed that they will be perfected within • fortnight. The meat, which is sow demanded in large supplies, is slaughtered in the vicinity. The several canteens belonging to Messrs. Duffy, Walsh, M'Doonell, and Cleary are admirably kept. These provision depots have been lately placed under rules well calculated to ensure the peace and security of the entire camp. They have all to dm at seven o'clock, which will compel the soldiers to be at their quarters at an early hour. Of these canteens we must speak from what we have seen. Everything that • soldier requires is to be had at all of them at the ordinary prices." The Larserick Chronicle hes the following further obser vations ow a subject which has excited much interest of late in military circles: ° Notwithstanding that the utmost ex ertions ere being used to induce volunteering from the militia into the line, in order to make up for the heavy drafts from the previsional battalions that are bear.; sent on foreign service, it is still to be regretted that very few volunteers ere offering, and of those who do so. namely any are fit for military service. As an instance, we may mention that • staff °Seer from this garrisou visited • militia corps in this district very recently, for the purpose of receiving vo latilities, punnet to the general order from the Horse Geer& to that effect. Oat of the whole regiment, which it was expected would supply at least 80 or 100 smart fellows, he meld only preemie 20 ; and of those, when they came to be esemised by the destor, Is were rejoined , mot as being under stse, WI se wait tor military earths.
