Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1861-05-04

TIE SEVENTH REGINEET.
The time for the departure of the Seventh
was set for this morning at 5 o'clock, and
the companies were busy, during yesterday,
in packing their baggage and taking leave
of their friends. During the afternoon,
however, notice was given that the cars
would not return in time to leave at that
hour. There were many impatient words
and gestures at the news, and one young
gentleman said in our hearing that be had
bade q fearful farewell to all his friends
something less than dozen times, and he
would be hanged if it wasn't overriding the
thing. It is settled now, we believe, that
the regiment will leave at o'clock Sunday
morning.
ARTILLERY PRACTICE.
The artillery companies at Camp Taylor
are drilling daily with the gun of the Ra-
VIENNA company, and are making rapid pro-
gress. We sew one of the squads yesterday
go through with the motions of loading and
firing in various directions, dismOunt the
piece and caisson, and re-mount and fire, in
less time than we have been writing this
paragraph. If they do the thing as well
when the seoessionists" are about, we
think there will be cause for eonsiderable
mourning sonth of Mason & Dixon'S line.
GENERAL oRpER---No. I6.
GEEERAL HEAD QUARTERS, ADJ'T GES's OFFICE,
C0LUABUs, Ohio, May 2, 1851.
The requisition of the President of the
United States, for Is Regiments of troops,
demanded prompt response from the Ohio
Militia.
That response has been more than realized.
The additional regiments called out by
State authority have also been furnished.
The pendency before the General Assembly
of bill increasing the number of the State
troops to seventeen Regiments, has stimu-
lated the spirit of enlistment to an extent
that exceeds the present demand for troops,
and must involve great detrtment to other
| public interests, 80 far as such enlistment
| exceeds that demand.
The full quota of 5000 inen has been
offered from Ohio alone, and not less than
$50 companies are engaged in drill. It cam
not be expected that all these companies
will be organized into reGinna'A-y -lS---sl-e
HCp r5Terreu 70 snail be passed neither can
one half of the propositions rendered, be ac-
/
affairs. Of the companies organized, and in
camp, it may be that some will be tempora-
rily tdisbanded. Under the late Act of the
General Assembly, suggesting an equitable
distribution of the forces over the State, nc
alternative seems 10 present itself.
While it is q matter of pride that so many
citizens of all ranks and conditions have
sprung to the defense of the imperilled Un-
ion, it must not be forgotten that the domes-
tic and social interests of the State are dis
turbed by the withdrawal of unnecessary
numbers from their homes and business
even for shert period.
1t is, therefore, urgently enjoined upon
those subject to military duty, that, while
they prepare themselves, during leisure
hours, for any service the State may require
of them, they still devote themselves te
their farms and the acts of peace, until ar
emergency shall call them to different ser
vice. H. B. CARRINGToN,
Adjutant General.
By order of the Commander-in-C Chief.
