Yesterday two attachments of about
500 men left this to-day Colonel Scott
marched with FIVE compames-to- morrow
expect an elegant detachment of 1000
men, under the command of Colonel Den
mis- will march for Sackett's, say nine com
pasies of Infantry, and one of the rife re-
glment. Recruiting goes on briskly in this
state, and to the eastward. We shall be
strong on the lines. The battalion which
marched from your city under Colonel
Dennis, has been admired more than any
other corps of infantry. which has arrived
at this place since the war. Several large
detachments are on their march to this
place-small ones of 80. 90, and 100 men
arrive daily. Gen. Dearborn says that we
shall not refrain idle many days after our
arrival on the lines.
Generals Lewis and Boyd left this a
few days ago for Niagara. General Dear
born goes TO Sacket's IN about four days.
