FAIRBANKS SCALEs.-It is signif-
cant fact which the public will appreciate, that
whenever new scales are put upon the market, as
large numbers have been from time to time during
the last thirty years, it seems to be the first and
chief aim of the makers to show that they the
same Fairbanks or like them, or are improve
ments upon them, or have taken premiums over
them, thus recognizing the latter as the standard
for excellence and showing the strong hold they
have upon the public confidence. 1t is well
known fact that while most of these scales have
after more less trial, passed mainly ont of use
Fairbanks have gone steadily forward, increasing
in public favor year after year, and are now
much more generally used than all others, not
only in this country, but wherever American com
merce has been carried. This could not be so i
they were not all that is claimed for them in re
spect for their durability, well as convenience

Interesting from Washington..-The Mich
igan Regiment.

WASHINGTON, May 20.
On Thursday evening last, the FIRST
Regiment of Michigan volunteers ar
rived here, all in good health, and well
pleased with the journey.
When the telegraph announced that
the Regiment would reach here during
the evening, there was rush of all the
citizens Of Michigan, resident in this
city, to the depot, for the purpose OF
visiting at the earliest possible moment
their old friends and neighbors; but
you cannot imagine our surprise and
qualification, when the long lines of the
Regiment was formed, presenting to
our view small army within itself,
complete in its equipments, and quail
fed by its discipline, to enter immedi-
ately upon any duty which may prop
erly be assigned to the number of men
of which it is composed. To appreciate
the depth of feeling which was aroused
in the breast of every Michigan man,
you must have been present to witness,
and the silent grasp of the hand, the
fearful eye and swelling breast, too
deeply moved f + utterance of words
on either side.
The train RI ached here about 104
o'clock on Thursday. evening, and but
few Michigan men witnessed its ar
rival. Silently and quickly were the
ranks formed, disturbed by no sound
but the brief commands of the officers.
In front of this noble array and proves
and liberaIity of our State, stood the
few, who hailed these men as their
brothers and friends; without com
ment, but with feelings of deep exulta-
ton, each congratulated himself that
he to was citizen of the Peninsula
State. Now the splendid band struck
mp National air, and the whole body
moved forward with the precision and
regularity of veteran troops. Still no
sound was heard but the martial strains
of the music, and the regular tread OF
the Michigan volunteers, accompanied
by the few, whose hearts alone seemed
interested in their movements.
On reaching Pennsylvania avenue,
crowds of citizens were assembled on
both sides of the street Among them
hundreds of military men, whose quick
PERCEPTION detected at once the SPLEEN
did appearance of the men, their COM
plete equipment, and martial bearing
and at the first lull of the music, there
arose from the vast throng such cheers,
as alone accompany genuine admira-
ton.
From that moment the reputation OF
the First Regiment was firmly estab-
lished in the minds of all. No body OF
men yet received here has been more
frequently complimented by both the
military and the citizens, and none bet
ter deserves these compliments.

"Old Hundred"
o Lord of Hosts! Almighty King!
Behold the sacrifice we bring
To every arm Thy strength impart,
Thy spirit shed through every heart
Wake in our breasts the living fires,
The holy faith that warmed our sires;
Thy hand hath made our Nation free;
To die for her is serving Theel
Be Thou pillared flame to show
The midnight snare, the silent foe
And when the battle thunders loud,
Still guide us in its moving cloud.
God of all Nations Sovereign Lord.
In Thy dread name we draw the sword.
We lift the starry flag ON high
That fills with light our stormy sky.
From treason's rent, from murders stain,
Guard Thou its folds till peace shall reign
TIL fort and field, till shore and sea,
Join our loud anthem, PRAISE TO THEE!

. DIsBANDED.-It was with feelings OF
universal regret, that our citizens witnessed on
Friday last, the disbanding of that ineEompany Of
volunteers, the Cass County Guards. This CON-
pany was one of the first organized in the State,
but through some inadvertance they did not get
their muster roll into Detroit the d-quarters of
the Adiutant General, in time to be admitted into
the second regiment to which they were Justly en-
titled. They were however assured both by the
Adiutant General and the Governor that they
should have place in the fourth regiment. Upon
this, Capt McOmber, who went TO Detroit Win
their muster roll, returned home satisfied
Accordingly, when the list of companies COM
prising the fourth regiment was published, signed
by the Adjutant General, it was found that the
Guards were assigned to this regiment, and the
company were ordered by that officer to hold them
selves in readiness to march at any moment Upon
receiving this joyful intelligence, the company
were put in marching order, but when all ready,
they received notice from the Governor that they
werefransferred to the sixth regiment but assuring
them that they would be called into rendezvous as
early as the first of June Although this was a
sore disappointment to the boys, they resolved to
stay together and accept the place assigned them In
the sixth. But on Thursday last, they received
notice. that inasmuch as the War Department had
declined to- accept more than four regiments from
Michigan, their service would not be needed, and
accordingly on Friday they disbanded Many of
them. we are sorry to say, returning to their homes
feeling that they had been imposed upon.
A majority of the company, we understand, will
endeavor to keep up their organization and hold
themselves in readiness to respond to the call of
their captain.
