ports-frst that they were coming ana theh tha'
they were not coming, and then again that they
were-the First Regiment Wisconsin Cavalry
Col DANIELS. arrived in this city about e o'clock
on Sunday morning last. They came over tht
Chicago 4 North Western railroad to Harvard
thence over the Keuosha, Rockford & Rock Isl
and Road to this city. They were detained on tht
former read some six hours which prevented thel
arriving the evening before they were expected
to. Notwithstanding the untimely hour of tine ar
rival, many of our citizens were ready to receive
| the soldiers and welcome them to the city. A
breakfast was prepared by the citizens at the
d urkee House. of which all partook.
| The several companies were afterwards disposed
Of, for the present, in various places. Three OF
four companies were quartered at the Durkee
| II ouse.
We may here remark that throughout Sunday,
| the conduct of the soldiers highly commend.
able. Some seven or eight hundred soldiers had
arrived, cold, hungry, tired and worn out, They
have not yet received their uniforms, and the
clothing of many is entirely inadequate to the de-
mands of the wintry weather that prevailed at the
| time of the removal But under oil these draw
backs and discomforts, we no signs of rowdy-
ism or characterization. All were on their good
behavior, and made a very favorable impression
upon our citizens.
We have seldom a more orderly and well
behaved lot of together, and never finer
appearing regiment physically, taken all together,
than the First Wisconsin Cavalry.
The second train containing the baggage, tents
and horses, arrived on Sunday evening, They
have as yet only about loo horses, though we un
derstand they expect TO receive in few days three
or four hundred more.

THos. j. CoNATTY, Principal of the high school
of this city, has been authorized to raise com
pany of teachers and students for this regiment,
has commenced TO recruit his company with
his usual energy and activity
Camp narvey" has been located on the ''sand
ridge" just south of the cemetery grounds. 1t is
a fine location for the camp, with plenty of room
for cavalry drill and parade The ground is such
that there will be no mud i'll the worst weather,
and yet the sand is sufficiently compact to make
a good surface. The members of the Regiment
seem to be satisfied with the location. We paid
a flying visit to the camp grounds on Tuesday
Most of the tents up, and many men were at
work, giving very lively appearance to the
grounds Tho tents have floors. are supplied with
stoves, and when fully completed will be quite
comfortable. The officers quarters are at the south
side of the grounds
Since our city has been chosen as the location
of the camp of this Regiment we hope our citizens
will be reasonable i'll their dealings with the sol
diers, and try TO make them comfortable and as
happy as the circumstances of their condition will
admit instead Of trying 10 make money out Of
them.
We understand that the uniforms of the men are
expected in Il few days The horses for the Reg
ment also, we learn, are being bought, Bnd that
some four or five hundred are waiting the order
of the Quartermaster in Chicago.
