Departure of the 9th Regiment.
The 9th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers
broke up camp, at Madison on Sunday morning
last and started for the seat of war. The Sixth,
like all the Regiments that have been sent out
by Wisconsin, goes well equipped, lin all but
arms, which will be received at Harrisburgh,)
well dressed, well differed and well drilled
On Saturday the Regiment was paid off in gold.
which, we presume, had no disheartening effect
upon the men. In reference to the uniforms of
this Regiment, the Madison Journal says:
1--WE have taken considerable pains to exam
inc the uniforms furnished to the 9th regiment,
and take much pleasure in stating, that they
bear the test of examination well The cloth is
of good quality and it is well made up. 1t was
evidently supplied by house, having some re-
gard for its own character, and the terms of the
contract bave been complied with to the letter.
The men feel satisfied and proud of their cloth
ing, and will move on to the seat of war fully
conscious that they are as we'll cared for as the
soldiers from any State"
On the arrival of the cars at Milwaukee, the
regiment found splendid collation. prepared for
them, by her liberal citizens Taking example
of Kenosha in her treatment of the First Regi-
ment, the citizens of Milwaukee made most pro-
fuse and excellent preparation for substantial
dinner.
The Regiment came through our city about
half hast six, p. NJ, in two long trains of 16 cars
each. A large crowd of our citizens assembled
at the Depot, TO pay parting salute to the Reg
iment Flowers, currant bushes loaded with
fruit, and such other tokens of goodwill as were
at hand, our citizens distributed along the cars.
The trains only stopped a moment, when they
were off again amid adieus, waving of handker-
chiefs, and God bless you's. Several Kenosha
boys belonged to the Regiment, each one of
whom had a score or more of friends and ac-
quaintances to shake hands with and bid good
bye. The men all seemed to be in the best
of spirits and anxious to get on, tosassist in re-
trieving the mistortunes at Bulls Run, and
avenging the barbarities there enacted by the
Rebels upon our soldiery.
The Ladies ofKenosha, untiring in their work
by the frequent calls made upon it, had prepared
a large box, filed! with necessaries for the hos
pital, for the Regiment, which was added to
their baggage here. The following are the con-
tents of this box;
48 Sheets, 40 Towels,
Is Pairs Drawers, 20 Hospital Sheets,
