arrived home from Washington, Thursday.
He had been some two years at Columbia,
South Carolina where he belonged to mill
tary company, which was ordered to Charles

of Sumter. He was stationed al the Cum
mngs Point battery. He says fort Moultrie
had seventeen guns mounted, that it was
manned with two hundred and fifteen men,
and that no one was killed there, or at any
other point, during the fight. From Charles
ton, yonng Brooks went with the company to
Richmond and thence to Fairfax. He was at

tanned some time, until the correctness of his

when he was allowed to proceed northward.-

Col. FRANZ SIGEL, who fought the rebels so
splendidly near Carthage, Mo-, and who show
ed on that occasion such admirable military
science and skill, and such rare coolnesssand
ability, has been promoted to the rank of
Brigadier General. Honor to merit and to the
government that has eyes 10 see and DISPOSE
ton to reward it. Gen. Sigel is one of the
very ablest men in the service. 1t now APP
pears that his whole force in the fight near
Carthage numbered only $50. They had eight
cannon, which were worked with great ser
vice and terrible effect. The rebels had $500
in the fight, with large reserve close at hand.
A green, unskiful brigader in Sigers place
would have been annihilated The rebels
would have killed or taken all his men. Sigel
and his men performed one of the finest feats
OF arms that ever took place on this continent

Letters were received Saturday, dated July
18th, from the soldiers of this city now at
the Rely House. All was hustle and commo-
ton, owing to the nearness of the time when
the regiment would start for home, and all
were looking anxiously for the expected or
ders for homeward march. We make the
following extracts from letter from J. W. D.:
monday visited the senate and house of
Representatives at Washington, and heard that
rascaliy Vallandigham make a short speech,
and saw him uoted doUn getting only five votes
for his resolution. Burnett of Kentucky seems
TO be the leader of the minority. Vallandig-
ham is a young man, sportingly dressed ,dandi-
fed IN appearance, and would look finely at
the end Of the rope. Crittenden is the observ.
ed man OF the house. He looks infirm."
"While was in the rotunda JEFF. Davis
portrait hung there among others. Some of
the crowd made musS about it-quite an ex-
citement was created-and finally the artist
who owned it, and put it there for sale, took
it down. John Tyler's face was also in the
collection, and some insisted that he, too
should come down, but l LETT him hanging,
just as he ought to hang on some framework
outside"
eve shall be paid off in Boston. l don't
know certainly what day we shall leave here
Col. Jones has now gone to Baltimore to get
some kind of an order from Gen. Banks in re-
gard to the matter. We shall, think, leave
as soon as Monday--we may leave sooner 1t
will depend very much whether Gen. b. has
another regiment to put in our place. Coz.
Jones is trying,or rather wishes, to go home by
the Norwich route from New York. If We
should reach Worcester early in the morning
a breakfast of some kind would not come
amiss We shall go direct from Worcester to
Lowell, having accepted the Inequalities Of
that city. The mayor of that city is now
here, bearing the invitation of the city govern
ment. he called upon Capt. Pratt, and gave
our company a special invitation to visit
Lowell with the regiment, which was accepted
From Lowell we go to Boston, where we shall
be mustered out of service, and shall then 60
direct to Worcester, where we hope TO meet
our friends. All | can say say is we shall be
glad to get home. The hospital sick will
start for home on Saturday"

CITY AND COUNTY

CAMP ScorT.-The religious services at
Camp Scott, were conducted on Sunday eye'
ming at 6 o'clock, by Rev. Merrill Richardson.
The singers of the various churches OF the
city were present by invitation, Mr. Turner,
of the Norwich and Worcester railroad, kindly
volunteering to run a special train to the camp
ground for their accommodation. The regi-
ment, after their drill, were ranged in five di-
visions, and were seated upon the ground dur
ing the services. The singing Of the hymn
"My Country tits of thee" by the united
choir, commenced the exercises. After fer
ventpEayer, Mr. Richardson preached, with
out notes, a most excellent discourse, taking
for his text the words from Corinthians, owe
are workers together with God" His point
was that all the good and great actions of the
world have been brought about by active
working with God in the execution of his
will and he enforced it Gy many telling illus
trations. His voice could be distinctly heard
by all the regiment, and all seemed much in
terested.
We understand no band has yet been en-
gagged by the regiment, although two or three
bands have made propositions which are under
consideration, the National Band being one of
the number. 1t is expected that Major Dew
ems will take command on Tuesday or
Wednesday.
