TO the great inconvenience Of those who do business
on the water or live in the suburbs. But though it
lasted till near noon more serious disaster came
of il than collision between two cattle-trains on the
Erie Railroad, by which an engine was disabled and
several cars more or less broken. Ferry travel was

about noon, and the up-river boats, though all be-

Of the Iowa regiments now on duty in Mssou-
ri:
General Lycn is just now the hon, not mere

we can gather from our occasional glmpses Of
outside doings. His prompt action in Nj issouri

Union, and consequently an immense amount of

forty Years some FIVE feet eight inches high,
and weighs perhaps one hundred and forty to
fity pounds. He is wiry in build, and tough
looking in appearance. His hair is long and
thick his whiskers bushy and heavy---both ars
Indescr'baby sandy in hue. His eyes are his
most remarkable feature --either blue or grey,
at times perhaps both; sort OF stormy express
sion, which is heightened by the wave like wrn-
kles around them, making him look MS If some
thing was constantly going wrong--or differ ent
from his wishes. His forehead is high and of
even width, giving him, when uncovered, an ap-
pearanCe OF great intellectual force which is aid.
ed by the firm out lines of his mouth.
"When he first looks at you that stormy ex-
preston settles into his eyes--the fleshy waves
roll up beneath and around his eyebrows, and
you think he is preparing TO find serious fault

CADIz GUARDS, Co. |, 18th Reg't.
PARKERsBURGH, July 5, 1861,

FARkEhsBURGH, July D, lool.S
DEAR SENTINEL We have at last taken up
our abode on the "sacred soil' OF the "Old Do
minion." Ijoined the Cadiz Guards last We'd
nesday a week ago, in Camp Dennison. I'm
mcdiatey after joining was sent home to re-
cruit and to visit, especially the latter. On
Saturday evening after having arrived home,
received dispatch informing me that our Regt
had received marching orders for Sunday. A
bridge was down on the 9. o. r. r. and no
trains could run from Wheeling to Columbus;
| was therefore compelled to wait until ten
o'clock Monday morning, when the Guthrie
Gray Reg't came down from Columbus and l
learned from them that the 18th Reg't. had
gone from Camp Dennison to Grafton via. Ma.
rietta and Parkersburgh and that if would go
with them l would meet them at Grafton
Accordingly took seat" with Co. /, and
left home once more. When we arrived in
Belmont, Belmont Co., the Regt. halted until
the bridge could be repaired which required a.
bout six hours, in the mean time the Guthries
contrived thousand plans to while away the
hours. The town was crowded with them;
they fenced, they jumped, they spared, they
ran, but above all and what was infinitely more
gratifying to the "astonished natves"- they
drilled. The rich and the poor of that little
village had then in their midst what ten thous.
and people from every part of the state have
crowded Camp Harrison and Dennison to see.
That was an event that will loIg be remember
ed by them, and not longer nor with more plea
sure than by the Guthrie Grays; for no place on
this route did they meet with such demonstra-
tions of good feeling toward them. AS soon as
the bridge was repaired we boarded the cars for
Bellair which point we reached at dark. and
crossed The river on ferries and quartered for
the night IN large freight depot belonging to
the B. & o. r. r. At two o'clock in the morn
ing we started for Grafton, where we arrived
after dinner. The Reg't. was saluted by the
inhabitants, with cheers, waving handkerchiels,
throwing up Of hats &c, from every dwelling,
as they passed over this road; substantiating all
we have heard of the loyalty OF Western
Virginia. When we arrived in Graftcn I parted
with my kind friends in the Guthrie Grays.-
