MENT.


MENT).
TAMhASY HALL As A CAMP AND HEcRu,rIsa
QUARTERS.
Decidedly the most active locality for recruiting vo.un-
in this city, and perhaps In the Union hes been ~
the Old wigvam-rsmmany Hail. Some half dozen
regiments have had their headquarters there, and as
many three have had their recruiting offices all at
time in the building. Two regiments which had been
started at the Republican Committee Rooms eventu
ally transferred 10 TammAny for completion In fact,
the convenience OF the location the PARK barracks,
and the constant parades and displays around the build
ing give an advantage for volunteer recruiting which
would make exceedingly available 70 have the build
ing devoted altogether 70 this purpose during the war.
Thus far the public hall which the "unterrihed''
have already made classic, has been continued
eacampnent It 10 regularly supplied with mattresses
= the same manner the Park barracks and at night
ese are laid down on the door in long rows by the hun
dred TO be taken up and piled away at daybresk, when
the premises are, until night again, used "a dr room
fer from three to half dozen companies at time all
dsy. AS the Tammany General Committee was the hrst
to take the lead In declaring the true grounds which
the for the Union should be conducted they have
not only thrown open their building for the use Of the
recruiting service but the leaders have also got

The del which Is particularly had in view by this rs,
to testify In the mos, unmistakeable manner the
entire unar unity of the North in this grea. uprising o..
the people. Colonel Kenneiy's regiment mustered
for inspection before the Union Committee on Saturday
on Fourteenth street. rhe number ordered out was $780,
pears that much larger number could be readily
cruited If desired but the muster Of accepted by
Colonel Kennedy hos been confined almost entirely TO
those young In the ous wards Of the city who
sympathzed in this particular movement, and who could
pay their own living u1t the regiment shall have been
mustered into the regular service. Thus two of the
companies, being organized In the Eleventh and Thr
teenih wards, composed Of caulkors and ship
penteTs and with others. Colonel Kennedy transmit
ted his muster rolls in regular form last week the
Governor Although an informal election of officers has
been had the regiment does not pretend TO be organized
in any legal form. Constant drilling is attended to,
but az the requisite number for regiment Is now
complete, and an expenditure OF some S. 600
incurred by the Committee and the friends of the
men they claim that regular barracks should be provd
ed and the equipped and allowed regular ratons
The Of of the forts somc similar ac:ommoia
tion and week or two for close application to drill and
discipline VII render the TammaDy regiment az imposing
