A letter from the Del. Regiment at Bush
River, TO the Journal sayes:
The health of the Camp continues good.
The men are merry and happy as men can be.
They have just enough work to make them
relish sport. Target-trng, fishing, bathing,
quoits, newspapers, &C., fill up the time be-
tween drills and guard duty. At night all the
noises Of the barnyard can be heard from the
quarters Of Company ID. Such Growing, cack-
ling, gTUntng, believing and what-not were
never surpassed by any living animals. The
Kent boys are great Cooks. One mess has Its
batch Of hot bread daily. If this be soldering
| cay make the most of it.

LEFT THE SrATE.-Ex Governor Rose ha
gone to Europe. 1t is said that his transsc c
tons were of such a nature as to render bl
arrest, on the charge of treason, very probable
and hence his visit. This suspicion is baseC
on the fact that the schooner Henry Wolf, be
; longing TO John Ponder, conveyed severa
boxes Of arms from Philadelphia to Milton
whence they were carried to the residence o
Mr. Ross, and from thence to the traitors il
Maryland or Virginia. One of the officers o
the Cutter Dobbn, boarded the schooner, bu
he was so saOrt sighted, as to overlook tn
boxes. For this he should be reprmanded, a
1t furnishes ground to suspect loyalty, or eff
cheney Ex-Governor Ross, also, took severa
: boxes ofguns from Georgetown, and we sugges
e that the authorities shall look after them. :
/ Other men may be implicated, and they shoul
be brought to justice.-RepublicG
