A letter was recently received by Captain
Dom Plat to the effect that his company of
cavalry should report themselves immedi-
ately to Carl Sehurz for duty. The author
itiessdded, by way Of postscript, 1 presume,
That each soldier of this company should
provide himself with q horse-at his own
expense, of course. This involved an ex-
pense beyond the perquisites of the Captains
men; hence the boys" are tramping it, &C.
cording to infantry tactics.
A hue and cry was raised to. day concern
ing a supposed deserter from the Thir-
teenth Regiment. The officers of the guard,
however, arrested the offender near the town
of Milford, e~ndeavoring to strike a balance
upon two uncertain legs.
/ am informed, by those in official com.
munication with the powers that be, that
but nine Regiments will he accepted by the
President from Ohio. So the boys may look
TO their %laurels.
must make honorable mention of my
sable friend, James Harvey, the servant of
Captain Vananda, of Company G., Third
Regiment. He was the servant of General
Winfield Scott and Staff during the war
with Mexico, and was present at the capitu-
lation of the City of Mexico. He brought
home the remains ofColonel Clay and WIN.
Mckee from those memorable battles; gen.
tlemen we'll known during that memorable
campaign.
l saw a lot of beef in the office of the
Quartermaster of the Third Regiment this
morning, which looked as though it had met
with an unnatural DEATH The officer there
ieturntd it promptly to the Quartermaster
for an exchange of something fresh. | am
told toe, that while the soldier suffers occa-
s~iCnally upon short allowance, the BARRIERS,
milk. dealers, and neighboriDg farmers may
obtain provisions from the Commissary in
ordinary quantities, at Camp Dennison
prices.
/ shall investigate this matter. As it is,
the beef is very comfortably quartered.
Swords and ssshes were distributed to the
officers of the Third Regiment last even
ing. Each officer paid $22 so for q common
sword with a leathern scabbard, which in
ordiu airy times could be purchased for at
least $l2.
The picnic to day was but an ordinary
affair, sustained principally by civilians.
A Iumor is current that the Guthrie Grays
are to be ordered to Western Virginia next
week. 1 place no reliance, however, in the
report they have 'orders" eEough now, to
keep them where they are, in the shade of
those beautiful trees.
C. Last evening the Hamilton Brass Band,
connected with the Ninth Regiment, under

THURSDAY, May %.
The Third Regiment was drawn up to day
in an hollow square, TO listen to an address;
from General Schleich. This speech, o

pathos.
