the d. & Nj. Railway Depot. \ friend
would have me take - look a. his
yacht-and the enchanting spectacle Of
big red light at the rear end Of long
train Of outward bound cars under full
motion hence, was the remainder &C.
Nuired for the privilege of reviewing the
handsome proportions and graceful water
lines Of Kurt BAREERs CBorek when
tS return after this misalyonture / know
not, therefore the Correspondence"
4 chapter Of " moving incidents by
flood and field, Of hair breadth 'scapes,"
&C., might be recorded, bu: in the "sen-
sation line" let it suffice to say that on
arriving at Bay City we found one Of the
wheels Of the Queen SO broken by col
lision with snags or "suthin" as to be
altogether useless. 10 hours detention
in that gay and festive place was the con-
sequence, whereby some of the more i'm
petuous travellers" were Disguised, and
took the overland route, the balance,
having better ideas of comfort, and more
patience, "neycr gave up the ship" but
by the cleft Wheel amid music, festiyity,
hilarity, fun aud sociability, went on their
way rejoicing, and made excellent time
70 the " city Of the straits"-So named
because here theyreruse to take shingles"
in liquidation of small claims of various
descriptions. On board, "shingles" paid
for fare, music, lemonade, etc, but here
our 100000 man is penniless and neg
lected. His currency" is worse than
"stuEp tail" and his spirits lower than
potatoe whiskey.
" Rattle his bones over the stones
He's a pauper, whom nobody owns"
Tuesday morning we visited the Camp
of Stockton's Independent Regiment, at
the State Fair Grounds. Found sour
boys" of Capt, Fishers Company gener.
ally in good health and spirits; IL are in
the hospital, but none dangerously sick.
Their uniforms came to-day, and to.mor.
row they will don Uncle Sans :" true
blue" color which well charactcrizes
their frmness and style. About COO men
are in camp, and more coming in every
day They expect to move forward to
Richmond or some other "sccesh" local
ity, the latter part of next week. In
the afternoon we witnessed the "muster-
ing in" Of several companies Of the 9Th
Regiment, at Fort Wayne. They are a
fine body Of men, particularly so, the
Mt Clemens Rife Guards, Capt. Farrar,
and the Huron Rangers, Capt. Traverse.
We pecularize these because we know
many Of the men intimately, and the
officers are all acquaintanoes and friends
"of aud k1Age syas." The utmost enthu-
siasm prevails among both officers and
soldiers of this regiment, and, with half
chance, we feel sure they will give q
good account of themselves.
Wednesday we visited Camp Lyon, at
Hamtramack, Headquarters Of Col. Brod-
heads Cavalry Regiment Here arc
some 900 men in camp and under severe
drill every day. 1t isnow expected tina,
arrangements will be made to supply
them with uniforms, arms, horses ant
camp equippagc before they are calico
away, but "doubtful things are might!
uncertain" In fact, the soldering bus
ness is decidedly prccarious from centr
to circumference, and the certainties
probabilities, and possibilities of thei
movements about as easily calculated a
the changes Of the weather in our section

UBs Nobody knows nobody cares !"
Is q feeling which seems too strongl
by far to impenetrate the minds of on
dmost respectable citizens" and more c'
pecially Hthose having authority" whe
the claims Of those who freely give u
every comfort at home, to fight against
treacherous and vindictiye foe, on undo
consideration. We hope to see relormi
ton in this respect. Outside of militar
matters there is no news in the city
