1t is said by those who are acquainted
with the history of American battles,
that not single battle, waged and fought
on the Sabbath, was gained by the a.

matter of fact, and the hope was express.

Nows came 10 last night that the 9th
Reg was to start this morning for Keo
kuk. For . while the greatest excite.
mont prevailed. Orders were issued from
head quarters to the soldiers, telling them
how much clothing to take with them,
and to take two rations of cooked food,
and every man to take one tin cup, and
to be ready to march in the morning at
8 o'clock. Boxes were hastily made to
carry blankets and cooking utensils Ev-
erytbing was ordered to be packed in
double quick time The news to march
VS. received by the Upton Guards with
every demonstration Of joy. When Capt
Cbilds told them that they were to march
in the morning, they cheered loud and
long. After they had done cheering,
Sergeant Shawl proposed three cheers for
the hog sly they were leaving, which
were given in manner that would have
doue honor to the Bowery Boys of New
York. But before sundown the order
was countermanded, aud the Fifth Regi-
ment is all down in the mouth. They
are all sadly disappointed. They are all
eager for fight with the traitors, and
