gW After the capture of Fort Hat
teras, one of the shells was found to
have pierced the rebels powder maya
zine, without bursting. On examina-
ton, it appeared that the giinner whose
duty it was, had forgotten to tear off a
small leathern cap, ordinarily put on
for safety. This was the only shell
thrown that did not explode. Had the
cap been removed, the fertilization
would have been blown up, and not a
handful of prisoners left alive, to be
captured as prisoners of war.

FROM THE CASS BOYS.

CHICAGO, Sept. Is, 1861.
FRIEND CAMPBELL Thinking that
you would like to hear from the Cass
County Guards, will take the privi-
lege to give you the latest news about
Camp Douglas. Last Saturday the
First Regiment was lettered as follows:
Kewanee Company, ILL.,, letter A.
Robins Rifles, ILL.,, letter B.
ONEIDA Guards, ILL.,, letter G.
Kankakee Company, ILL.,, letter D.

ter E.

Stewart Guards, Nigh, letter III.
Webb Guards, ILL.,, letter /.
De Kalb Rifles, ILL.,, letter X.
My object in giving you the names
&C., l want Michigan to have her dues.
I notice Illinois newspapers taking all
the credit for Al Regiments, when
Michigan furnished II companies for
the last regiments raised in this State
as follows: Irish Brigade 4 companies,
North Western Rifle Regiment, com,
panies 1st Regiment, Douglas Bri-
gade, companies.
Last Sunday at Camp Ellsworth
there was considerable of muss on
account of Colonel Knoblesdorf calling
the regiment the Illinois 44th. One
Ohio Captain demonstrated, and finally
expressed his determination of taking
his company home. The Colonel
ordered 20 men to arrest him, but six
more companies following suit, Mr..
Colonel took in his horns, and caused
the notice in the Tribune of last Sat-
urdaY giving the States their due.
This / expect will be the case with us,
we supposed this brigade was indepen-
dent, but our field officers are numbered
the AID Illinois Regiment. 1t remains
to be seen whether the company will
submit or not.
Our uniforms have arrived, KNAPP
seeks haversacks, canteens, &c. The
company will probably not be here any
longer than this week. Our boys are ex-
ceedinoly we'll drilled. We drill as fol-
lows: company drill from to A. M.
then breakfast; drill from 81 till IL A.
NJ, battalion drill from p till P. NJ,
The boys are all in hood health and
are anxious for the battle field. Our
Captain is very popular with the boys,
the Inspector General will inspect us
Tuesday next. Yours; M.
