eral friends. The presentation was made by
DR.. Marshal and the gift received by Capt.
AIcIlrath. Both speeches were feeling and
pertinent.
COMPANIES RETURNING.
The Wright Guards from Madison and
Perry returned home on Tuesday night
The company were called up to be mustered,
we are informed, and were found to have
less than the necessary number of men in
their ranks. Inasmuch as no companies can
be received in camp unless the regulations
are complied with, they were ordered to re-
turn home.
THIRD COMPANY HOME GUARDS.
You are 1Oti6ed to appear OF the ArmOry
(ROuse's Block) this evening, May 2nd, pre-
cisely at o'clock, for drill and business.
By order of the Captain.
WASHINGTON HoxK GUARDS.
This name was adopted Tuesday night By
the German company on the West Side. The
company also adopted unanimously the fol-
lowing resolution, offered by DR.. Hartmann:
Resolved, That the policy adopted by Gov
erhor Dennison, of non interference with the
transportation through Ohio of arms and
provisions destined for the uncertain States,
Is wrong, and encourages treason, because
neutrality is entirely inadmissible in the
present coRfict. Who is not for US, is
against us. We therefore proclaim it the
duty Of every citizen to do what the Execu-
tive Of the State refuses to do, to wit: to
prevent, under all circumstances, and by all
possible means, the transportation of arms
and provisions to the so-called Border States,
and we request all citizens of Ohio to join US
in carrying out this resolution. 1
CAMP TAYLOR, May l, 1861.
EBIrOR MORNING LRLDER:-I observed in
your paper, day or two since, cOmmuni-
cation purporting to be written by volun-
teeF in this camp, complaining of the food
furnished by Mr.. scovill, and as an act of
simple justice to the person furnishing the
substance, desire TO correct the ststsment
of your cOrresnsndens.
The food is abundant and wholesome, and
certainly as good as any person at all &C.
guainted with camp life, would expect
The meat, beef and pork, has been sweet,
with single exception, when lot Of beef,
purchased for good, proved to be spoiled.
Tho bread is fresh the butter is as good as
can be purchased, in any market, in large
quantities. Beef pork, potatoes, bread, but
ter, coffee and sugar, are given twice day,
and the same for dinner, omitting the cof-
fee.
1t is true that the meat and potatoes,
cooked, as they are, in large quantities, do
not look as neat when placed on the table,
as they would if carefully prepared in small
| quantities in a well-ordered home, but so far
as have seen, and 1 have inspected the
table frequently, and when unable to do 3d.,
have had it done by some Field or Staff off,
Ger of my Regiment, the living in Camp
Taylor is as good as any reasonable man
ought expect under the circumstances.

Colonel commanding N. W. Regiment.
9IETIsTICs OF CAMP TAXLoR.-some idea
OF the amount ofprovisions necessary to feed

loving statistics:

5000 pounds of bread; $500 pounds fresh
beef; IA barrels salt beef; 10 barrels pork;
90 bushels potatoes; barrels coffee; hogs.
head sugar. To prepare these and do other
work, there are IT'S cooks and walters; II
dishwashers; 4 wood sawyers, and otbel
miscellaneous supernumeraries.
