RECRUITING FOR THE REGULAR ARMY.
Lieut.. CURrENIUs, of the 18th U. S. In.
fantry, has established a recruiting station
in this city, and is anxious to enlist a
number of unmarried men between the
ages of Is and 80. BY new regulation
we understand he is authorized to enlist
men from five feet two inches in height
upward. The inducements to join the
regular army, now that the term of enlist
ment has been reduced to the same num-
Der of years as in the volunteer service,
are certainly great, and We have no doubt
considerable number of recruits will be
obtained.

BIC .FlauREs.-It was one of the pee

BIC FIGUREs.-It was one of the pecu
liarities--at least we have heard it SC
stated-of our friend ID. A. RoBINsoY, Jr.
never to mention any sum under hun
dred thousand in financial matters, and
our City Council seem to have penchant
in the same direction. Property holders
residing cast of Jefferson street have COM
planned time and again, and justly, too,
that although they pay their full share Of
taxes for the support of the Fire Depart
ment, it could by no possibility be of any
benefit to them under existing circum-
stances, owing to the fact that no arrange
ments have been made for a supply OF
water at any point east of the river. In
their simplicity they have supposed that
for a small sum of money the experiment
might be tried of making excavations in
the Bayou, which for the most part of the
year is tolerably moist, at several points,
erecting platforms convenient thereto, aud
so grading and preparing the ground that
engines could be run on them and worked
in case of necessity. But no such "small
fry" ideas would do for the immaculate
fathers" they have "big thing" under
contemplation, and have been making big
figures, according" These official "pari-
ents," like thirsty pilgrims in the desert,
having wandered about days and nights in
this intensely dry region in search of a
little dampness, have nearly concluded that
their only resource is to bOre-their forte
certainly lies in that direction-and they
now contemplate sinking well near the
junction Of Genesee and Franklin streets
to the depth Of about three hundred feet,
at which point they expect to strike the
brackish stream which spouted out at the
Salt Works in the vicinity Of that depth,
and, by means of pump logs, to convey
this saliferous fluid to all the dry To-
calities of this dry and dusty place
The cost is estimated at somewhere be-
tween three hundred and three million
dollars, which they propose to raise by
means of city bonds. A friend suggests
that the same result can be attained by
sinking a well on the dividing ridge Of
the Rocky Mountains, and by pump logs
conveying the water to San Francisco in
one direction, and East Saginaw in the
other, thus making " big thing" at botL
ends of the route.

ANOTHER CAVALRY CoMPANY.-Capt.
THos. SAVIOR, of this city, having been
authorized to raise Company of Cavalry
for Kellogg's Independent Regiment, has
opened recruiting Office at the Office Of
NJ. L, Gage, Esq, Genesee street. Capt.
Saylor is well posted in military matters,
having been connected for number of
years with some of the best Independent
organizations in New York, and as a citi-
zen he has the respect and confidence of
our whole people. We hope to see his
company soon filled up to the requisite
number.

A DENIAL.--J. b. HAMILTON, of tho
Carlton House, sends us a note with a re-
quest to publish, in which he denies in toto
the charge in the Enterprise Of week be-
fore last, that the members of Captain
Godley's Cavalry Company, who dined al
his house while en- route for Grand Rapids
were charged full price, the same as stage
passengers, for dinner. lie says in regard
to the matter, "the whole is an unquali
fed falsehood In the first place there
were only eighty-seven who dinod at the
Carlton. Capt. Cooley called for the bill
and we called the whole thing twenty
dollars, and Mr.. FRANK CuRris paid the
bill.p - go, saaal.0 e1
After the handsome reception and en-.
tertainment received at Flint last spring
by the East Saginaw Guard, we shall be
slow to credit any charge of shabby
treatment" made against that city " as a
nation" and more especially against our
friend HAMILTON, who is always liberal to
a fault in all public matters. There is
evidently some mistake in the matter, and
as the business parties to the transaction
are all gentlemen, they will see the pro-
priety of coming to an understanding
among themselves, rather than widening
the difference by an unnecessary newspa-
per quarrel.
