oath of allegiance be taken by all the mem

papers be requested to publish the proceed
ings of this meeting.
ILLNESS OF MAJ. CAREY. @
Brigadier Major Carey we learn is quite
sick. In his absence the duties of his posi-
ton devOlve alternately upon Major Burt
and Kinsman.
WORD TO The VOLUNTEERS.
We were panied to see several men in
uniform last night, who were unmistakablY
intoxicated, and who attracted much at
tention by their noise in the streets. There
was one party who became quite beligirant
and demolished windows, showing pugna-
cious spirit. This is not right. You who
go nobly came forth at your cOuntry's call,
should remember your are a soldier, not a
loafer. The true soldier should be the gem
tleman outside as well as in camp, and you
should never disgrace your occupation or
your uniform, by acting disorderIy. The
true soldier is orderly and tractable. Will
the volunteer not heed these few words Of
advice?
TIE YDRAD VOLUNTEERS.
The members of this boat club who have
been organizing volunteer corps met at
their rooms on Monday evening. A large
number were in attendance. We understand
that they have engaged the services of Capt.
VIM. H. Hayward as drill master. FL
CAMP DENNIsoN. F..
This new parade ground, embracing IS
acres of land, eligibly situated about p
miles from Cincinnati, will be used, we un-
derstand, as drill camp for the instruction
Of troops in military evolutions and move
ments. 1t is rumored that two of the regi-
ments at Camp Taylor will shortly be sent
there.
ACCIDENT AT CAMP TAYLOR.
We learn that volunteer belonging to
company from Fremont, got accidentally
shot, yesterday afternoon, by revolver in
the hands Of one of his comrades. The
ball penetrated the heshy part of the leg,
but was removed without much pain. He
is doing well.
SACRED MUSIC on THE CAMP GROUND.
strolling outside the grounds of Camp
Taylor, last evening, just at dusk, the sweet
notes of old " Balerma came floating softly
on the air. Unusual was it for such music
to be heard on a military camp ground,
where naught but the bugle, the shrill fife
and rafting drum seems appropriate. But
1turas -sn-iha -r,a1taio- -aaasad--a,d tha- Law
breathings Of prayer were uttered. We lis
tened, and thought of Washington, whose
example of prayer, set to his revolutionary
soldiers, had come down TO this generation.
Again the hymn swelled forth with greater
powe-, vibrating on the air with thrilling
effect. Such aspirations of music and
prayer must have indeed been acceptable to
the great Commander above. ...
TIE WRIGHT GUARDS.
The Wright Guards from Painesville and
wiliOughby, Capt. Wright, left Camp Tsy-
Ior yesterday afternoon for home. What
does this move mean?
