Madisca Correspondence.
MADISON, Sept. 10, 1861.

DEAR Lutte Agreeable to my prom
Use to write to you, will end 'avor to give
YOU few items that may interest you
and your readers.
| found on my arrival at Madison that
the St. Croix Rifles were already sent for
and 90 into camp in Milwaukee. To-
day | met their first Lieutenant, Mr..
Vincent, and with him attended the re-
view of the 18th Regiment by Ger eral
Stevens and his staff. This was bril-
liant affair The General ard his staff
officers being in full uniform, at first re-
viewed the Regiment, after which gen.
eral inspection was made. The Regi-
ment is now full and numbers over one
| thousand men. General Stevens is n
splendid looking officer, nea ly six feet
high weighing over two hundred pounds,
and rs 1.-THE and supple as cat. He is
| called the best swordsman IN the country,
and hns, have been told, challenged the
world to find an antagonist to meet him
! on horseback with the bro ad sword. Ho
is at present Inspector General and in
structor of the commissioned officers in
sword exercise. The 7th Regiment leave
on Saturday for the seat of war. Their
departure causes an unusual stir in all
tho departments, which was before, as it
seemed, as busy as they could be. No
person can form any idea of the vast
amount Of labor, mental and physical,
that is brought in requisition to equip
even one Regiment, much less thirteen.
A thousand men are to be recruited,
sworn in, provided for; their transporta-
ton is to be provided, their camp pre-
pared, and then-then comes the tue of
war. These men are to be clothed
throughout, fed and housed in tents, and
ten thousand little things furnished them,
which in themselves are littlo but amount
to much in the the aggregate. The fur
nlshng of these things properly belong
to the Quarter-master's department, and
consequently the greater part of the la
Dor falls upon this officer. General
Trvac'wHy's office is in the Senate cham
Der, and from the time the office is open
in the morning anil ten or eleven at
night there is a constant steam of per
sons having business with tho depart
ment. The General is assisted by sever
al able and experienced clerks, but still
The heaviest of the labor and the respon,
slblllty comes upon him. If every man
who did business with this office was re-
markabe for his good breeding and mo
desty, it would not be laborious and
rexatious business; but when every pri-
vate and commissioned officer is i'm
pressed with his dignity and importance
to the State of Wisconsin, and when in
addition to this some of the commission.
ed officers seem to strive to make as
much trouble us possible, it is truly
place requiring man with the patience
Of tho Patriarch of US. Job indeed has
left us commendable example of pa
tence, but it is well for his reputation
That he was never called upon to act as
Quartcr-mas;er General ia time of war.
10 all men called upon to act in that Ca
pacty III future we commend the exam
pie of the present incumbent of that Of
ticc in this State. But must stop OF my
ePist!c may prove as much of II bore. as
some Of those Of whom ! speak.

rushed into the arsenal. He believes large

buildings many miles.
Lieut.. Jones states that hearing yesterday,
that six hundred Virginians were approach

al, he put piles of powder and straw in all the
buildings and waited quietly for their APP
proach. The picket guard gave the alarm,
the garrison set fire to the outbuildngs, the car
penters shops, the powder houses, and began
to retreat. The citizens of IIarper's Ferry
were evidently in league with the party ad-
vancng to seize the arsenal. They were in
stantly in arms, pursued, fired, and killed two
regulars. Two others deserted before the
troops reached Hagerstown. He marched

discharge of firearms attracted the attention
OF the crowd to the corner of Pratt and How

There seemed to be little discipline among

at the crowd, but no one was injured. Whilst
