WAR MATTERS.
REv1Hw on rROops AT oAMP DFNS1soS. I

After Governor Dennisons reception and
welcome at the Merchants Exchange yes
terday afternoon, in company with number
of merchants he visited Camp Dennison and
reviewed the troops now quartered there.
The only complete regiment in camp is the
Fifty first, Colonel Stanley Matthews, inc
following are not yet filled: Fifty,fou
Ohio, Colonel Smith; Forty.eighth, Colonel
Sullivan; Fifty-secoud, Colonel Sargent.
The Forty-frst, Colonel Hazen, is expected
10 arrive to-day. Arms have arrived at
camp for Colonel Matthews regiment, and
will be given to the men TO day. There is
also quartered at Camp Dennison one COM
pany of Colonel BennetJs Cleveland Battery, |
with six six. FOUNDER guns.
The Governor proiessed himself highly |
pleased with the men and his visit to our |
city. He left for Columbus, taking the cars |
at the camp.
Eight brass six FOUNDER cannon have been |
received at the Indiana State Armory within
the last few days from the establishment of
Miles Greenwood, of this city. The majority
of these are rifed.
We see bills all over the city saying "Join
the Gymnasium Light Guard" Several
members of the old company are raising a
| company for the war, aud propose TO call II
the Gy ymDasium Light Guard This is good
move, and we wish you success in your un-
dertakiDg, gentlemen. u i.,
| THE NEW COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE UNITED
STATES ARMY.
| General Mcclellan may be said to be Com
i mabder-in. Chief OF the United States Army,
| by virtue of General Scotts designation.
| General Scott had him placed next to him in
rank in the service that he might be his sue
cessor, Never was there more confidence
between father and son, than has existed be-
tween Leutenant-Ge General Scott and Major-
General Mcclellan. The latters plans for
the prosecution of the war, we need hardly
add, meet the hearty concurrence of the re-
tired veteran.
-Chsplains in the army receive the pay Of
captains of cavalry, $l45 per month-which
includes rations, servant hire, forage, &c.
ARMY AND NAVY.
Since the bombardmept of Fort Sumter
six Thousand four hupdred and eighty men
have been shipped in New York for the navy,
and about twenty-nine thousand at other
Offices Wasbiugton, Philadelphia, Boston,
Portsmouth, Buffalo, sc making an aggre-
gate of nearly thirty-six thousand men,
, shipped in little more than six months.
The enlistmeDts for the army during that
time have been, as nearly as we can calcu-
late, as follows:
New York city for general service. ........... 760
Other places, for general ser ice"o........ 1000
| Nine new regimen Is Of Infantry, one cavalry
and one w wv
Total. 76O
These figures show that for every man who
. has joined the regular army, three have
joined the navy. This proportion is approx
mately correct. as
