AnnapOlis, but will be relieved on Tuesday, and
come direct 70 this city,
The 9Th Regiment New-York, Col. Lyons,

The Fifth Regiment came in last night, all well.
Religious services have been held by oil regiments
today some of them going to churches, aud
others having private deyOtOns, led By their own
cbaplans. The evening parades were well at
tended indeed every hack in town was engaged
bv pilgrims 10 the several camp grounds. Natu-
rally our ZOuaves attract the most notice.
They are crack corps of Volunteers, and their
grounds are crowded continually during visiting
hours. Messrs. Nicolay and Hay the Presidents
Private Secretaries, were of the reviewing host
this afternoon.
The health Of the various troops is generally
good though sudden climatic changes operate
rather summary on many of the iinprudcnt
ones.
Governor Spragues regiment is noble one
Yesterday it made mp purse OF $1,000 Tor The
sisters of young Howard, who was murdered by
the Policeman on Wednesday night last, nn ex-
ample which is very likely to be followed by
Others. Thirteen members Of the regiment were
sent home on Friday night, in command of Major
Socum. This is done as punishment for intoAl-
cation and disorderly conduct which ia something
the regiment does Lot intend 10 allow on the part
of any of its members.
In Justice to the Ncw-York Fire Brigade,
wish to state that, with the exception OF the
7th Regiment it has discharged and sent home
fewer men than any other regiment here.
THE REBELS PRIvATEERrSG.
information here leaves no doubt that Dayis's
priyateerng propositions are greedly accepted BY
those able to avail themselves thereof. 1t is said
that 1900 applications have bern made for let
ters of marquee some of which are from foreign
States.
CARL sCIItRZs REGIMENT.
The regiment of cavalry which Carl Schurz Is
to raise viii, if all expectations be realized, be
one of the most effective in the service. The
object is to enlist and organize body of men
who have seen service, aud do not need drilling.
If ia well known there are hundreds Of men in
the West who have seen service IN Europe, aud
who, if engaged, wOald be of great use, and to
such men Government will undoubtedly furnish
uniforms, equipments, and horses.
COMMUNICATION OPEN TO ALL POINTS.
We are DOW in direct communication with all
parts of the civilized world. Our city IS as quiet
as an Eastern village, and were it not for the
occupancy Of every other house by troops, no
one could suspect that concerning the safety OF
the place there had ever been the least appre.
hension. Runaways may now return and be at
rest.
