Billy Wilson's ZOuaves.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The regiment of roughs, raised by Billy
Wilson, in New York, is composed of the
hardest of New York's humanity. A letter
from New Yorker, received in this CITY
incident, contains the following accident.
which is sufficiently illustrative of their
status: LYf.t'
Yesterday Methodist clergyman went
down to Staten Island to exhort them.
Billy Wilson drew his men up and called
attention" The Parson gave them very
edifyiug and appropriate discourse, which,
in obedience to the Colonels commands.
they listened attentiveiy. When the Parson
had finished, Billy gave his "boys" short
talk, somewhat in this wise: -a.ot
"Boys, l want you to remember what the
minister has told you. 1t is all for your
good; take his advice, and follow it; for there
is no knowing but what in less than six
months every id - of you will be
in hell" Here voice from the ranks
called out, "Three cheers for He'll! p and
they we're given with will. Its s1. .a- j.
The Parson, astonished and angry, asked
what it meant. "Oh," says Billy, Hthe

PRosrRATIoN OF BUs1NEss.-The New
York Herald of the 4tb says such is the
general prostration of business that the
failures in New York since the 22d oil
April, number over two hundred; and such
is the quantity of protested paper thrown
on the banks that they now refuse to &C.
commodate. The same paper adds:
One of the Banks, on the I'd, had $4,000
worth of paper protested. Real estate is I'M
salable, and rents have gone down because
people have not money to pay. The holders
of breadstuffs will keep them up. because they
know that the war and the demand in England
will enable them to command high prices. 1t
is necessary, therefore, for all classes of citi.
zens to practise economy; even for some who
used to purchase three or four coats in twelve
months to wear one now for whole year.
Economy in these, the hardest of hard times,
is q virtue of the first order, and 10 person
ought to buy anything he can dispense with
till the war is over.

From the Camp at Cairo.

CAIRO, May s, 1861.
Your readers would possibly be not a
little surprised at the figures, should l give
you them, of articles given out from the
commissary's department every day. l have
a few which / will give. We have three
full regiments; Col. Prentiss, LIST regiment;
Col. Raines, mot Raynor, nor Raymond, as
has been published) Sd regiment and Col.
Oglesbys, 9th regiment; Capt. Jas. Smiths
Company Flying Artillery; Capt. Hawley's
Company Lockport Artillery; Capt. Kob-
ODDS Company Union Cadets Capt. Mi
nalotzy's Company Chicago Lincoln Rifles
in all over three thousand men. To these
men there are issued each day 800 pounds of
brown sugar, l6O pounds of coffee, $500
pounds of fresh bread, 1000 pounds of salt
meats, and $500 pounds of fresh meat, and
proportionate amount of butter, vinegar
and pickles. Candles are allowed in small
quantities, and saw yesterday huge box
of eggs at the commissary department.
These, however, l think are not included in
the army regulation subsistence.
Our brigade post Office is another feature
that would interest you to see. A city of
five thousand inhabitants probably would
not be troubled with as many letters,
papers, packages, &C., as is our brigade
post Office. Efforts are being made to have
permission given to our brigade postmaster
to make up separate mail bag every day,
and to have letters destined for the troops
directly posted, by the different post Offices,
to him. The present incumbent of the
Cairo post Office is terribly slow coach,
who insists on closing the mail at o'clock
in the afternoon when the train does not go
until o'clock the next day. 1t would be
q very great convenience if such an arrange
ment could be brought about. The officers
and men are quite anxious about it, and l
understand application has been made to
the General Department for special privi-
lege to that efect.-Chieago Tribune.

we concluded that not many people in St.
Anthony and Minneapolis remained at
home. The occasion of the large assem-.
blage was the presentation of flags by the
ladies of those cities to their respective
companies
We believe all the carriages started at the
same time, and were met at Minnehaha
Falls by the Lincoln Guards, Capt. Putnam,
of Minneapolis, st. Anthony Volunteers,
Capt. Morgan, and the Saltwater Volun-
teers, Capt. Bromley, and escorted to the
Fort. As the long procession arrived it
was noticed that almost every carriage con-
tanned basket, which was Immediately
taken to the quarters of the soldiers, and in
a short time the tables were spread, equal
ling in abundance and quality those of first
class hotels. The two companies from the
Falls, with the Saltwater Guard as their
guests, then sat down and were merry.
After dinner the whole regiment turned
out for parade. 1t was formed in hollow
square, the companies facing inwards. The
square was soon occupied by the ladies, and
the presentations took place. They were
accompanied by appropriate remarks and
responses, by the Captains of the respective
companies. The regular regimental parade
was dispensed with on account of the rain.
OUR OWN VOLUNTEERS.
The question was often asked yesterday,
what is st. Paul doing for her companies ?
The answer was not very creditable to the
thoughtfulness OF our citizens for the SOL
diers' comfort. When the boys notice
the constant arrivals of boxes and packages
from distant sections of the State for the
country companies, they are apt to feel as
if they are neglected. Whatever else may
be done, we hope all who 60 up on the boat
or otherwise, Saturday, will carry up
basket of something good for Sunday din
