CITY INTELLIGENCE.

One Of The Home ".Qrmy Of Occupation" Cap
hred! Reader startle not at the above cap
ton, for in time of war soldiers are liable 10 be
taken prisoners. Every arrival from the neigh
borhood of the Rio Grande, but brings the
news of American soldiers killed and captured;
then why should it be strange if one of our
"Army Of Occupation should be in the same
predcament. We were at the Volunteer En-
campment on Sunday afternoon
''To the soldiers march and drill,
And hear the drum, and fife so shr."
The parade was over, for the afternoon, and
the command to ''Break ranks,-march, =" was
given; and every man started on his own hook
to 90 where he choose, when suddenly a fe-
male form passed the guard and "sans ceremo-
nie' captured one Of the crank and file," de-
clarlng that he was his mothers son, not Of
age, and should not 90 "to revel in the Halls
of the Montezumas." What u woman wills,
she'll do, so resistance was in vain, and the
youthful volunteer was compelled to "about-
face" and march into the city, his mother on
his right, and father on his left flank, and a
pretty considerable crowd of boys in the rear.
Since the above was written we learn that at
full meetidg of the Volunteers, the following
gentlemen were elected officers of this corps,
unanimously:-J f. Stewart, Captain; b.
F. Owen, lst Lieutenant; James H. Smylh, I'd
Lieut. Samuel Wilt, Sd Lieut.; John Hooper,
Quarter-master; D. b. Mclaughlin, Surgeon;
Charles Hill, Assistant Surgeon. Colonel n.
Hickman was also appointed Treasurer TO re-
ceive and appropriate contributions.
The Fifty Third Regiment. We have no
doubt but that it will afford pleasure to the CT
tizens of Baltimore, to know that the officers
attached to the SD Regiment of Volunteer In
lantry, who some time since rendered their re-
signations TO the Governor of the State, have
at meeting held on last Tuesday evening, in
view of the present state of our national affairs,
resolved to withdraw their designations and re-
sumo their former commissions. This is what
was expected of the officers Of the sold SD, "
whom we know TO be as gallant a set Of men
as can be found in any city, The officers OF
this regiment, it will be recollected had all ten
dered their designations, with the exception OF
Col. Davies 1t. Col. Hoffman, Capt j. M.
Anderson, of the "lnvincibles," and the officers
of the Cadets" The 53dis now fully officer
ed again, and ready for duty whenever their
services are needed.
The Volunteer Encamps,ent This appears
to be the centre Of attraction for large num-
Der of our citizens, hundreds of whom visited
it yesterday. Every thing is conducted by the
strict rule and regulation of war, guards are
posted, soldiers drilled, &C., and the sounding
drum" is heard ever and anon, throughout the
encampment We are pleased to learn that
volunteers are daily coming forward, and that
liberal contributions are being made by our pa
triotic citizens. Should the President not ac-
cept of their services as Maryland Volunteers,
we have no doubt but that sufficient sum will
be obtained to enable them to reach Georgia,
and 90 as volunteers from that State-a plan
which is proposed to be adopted in case they
are not taken directly from Baltimore by the
Government. Success to them, however,
wherever they may go.
The Volunteer Rifle Company, of young men
| between the ages Of Is and %, now numbers
Al, and the roll is still filling up. They intend
TO encamp this morning out West Madison st.
and will start from the Exchange at 10 O'Clock.
/ They had large and enthusiastic meeting last
evening in Monument Square, at which elo-
quent addresses were delivered and spirited re-
/ solutions passed. The Independent Crews.
have kindly loaned them their tents and Camp
equpage.
Parade. The Maryland Cadets paraded yes
terday afternoon with full ranks, and made a
very handsome sodery appearance, as they
marched through our principal streets. They
were under command Of Lieut.. Poor and
marched to "Mount Clare" where they fired
at target for splendid silver cup, presented
by their late Captain, Robert NJ. McLane, Esq
The cup was taken by Sergeant Robt. II. Les
lie; the second best shot was made by private
james NJ. Deems.
