CITY INTELLIGENCE.

number of visitors to the camp of the Northern
| troops at the Relay was comparatively small
| About the only incident that occurred throughout
the day to relieve the dull monUt0ny of camp life
was the announcement about noon that the steam
centrifugal gun of Mr.. Dickinson, which has fnr
some weeks past been such a great bugbear to the
| New York papers, being taken to ElcOtt:
Mills, by way of the turnpike, for the purpose o
| trans sportaton to Harpers Ferry. Immediatel =
this famous encampment was all astir and ''psnting
for the fray" General Butler gave orders tc
seize the Ecotts Mills train. which was just then
passing, and artlerymen and their guns had soon
taken the place of the passengers. The train was
then started and away went these defenders Of the
Capital after MIR. Dckinson's gun, which
they seized upon with much coOlnesS, prompt
itude and zeal. 1t placed board
the train and brought to the camp
where it remains for the present. Upon
making inquiry, have been informed that Mr.
Dickinson has tor some time desired to have an op-
| portunity of testing the effect of this gun at a
long range; and having received from some friends
who reside in the vicinity of Ellicotts Mills the
offer of the of their grounds for this purpose,
| he yesterday morning started out with his gun Ia
| give it trial. 1t is supposed that he by
some of the spies which General Butler has in his
employ, and suspecting that the gun was being
moved to Virginia, this brave and iudeatgable
lnander felt it to be his duty to capture it at all
| hazards.
1t was quite commonly reported Yesterday that
the soldier who blew his own head off at the camp
| few days ago, did Intentionally. Whether this
ls so Is now difficult matter for us to determine;
| but the assertion was made upon what was deemed
| good authority.
