this city on Friday night proceeded to Camp
Doug1as Vas correct, but had VIC been farther !
informed in the matter we might have said
they came back again. Such, indeed, was the
case. The night being exceedingly dark and
stormy, and the distance from the track to the
Camp considerable, it was deemed unsafe to
attempt to unload them; and as the Illinois
Central track had to be cleared for other trains,
they we're run back to the Northwestern De-
pot, where they remained in the cars through !
the night, and we're marched to the Camp |
about IL o'clock Saturday morning. During
Friday night some halfdozen OF them man
aged to elude the vigilance Of the guard and !
escape. Two Of them, however, were after |
words recaptured by officer Jennings and tax |
IN to camp.
4 very pleasant affair Was the presentation
on Saturday Of splendid bay charger to Col. |
Mulligan, with sword, pistols and equipments |
complete, By the officers of the Irish Brigade. |
The presentation speech Was made by Rev.
DR.. Butler, Chaplain Of the regiment, in pres
ence Of the whole command, and happily re-
sponded to by the gallant Colonel.
Later in the day, Col. Cameron was also
made the recipient Of q like present BIZ the
officers Of his, the Scotch regiment. As in
the former case, the presentation vas made
by the Chaplain, Rev. Dr.. Rowe, in presence
Of the whole regiment, Col. Cameron neatly
responding.
DR.. Benjamin, Medical Purveyor in the Con-
federate army, left Camp Douglas on satur-
day,t be exchanged for Lieut.. Col Quinn Nor
ton, Of the 23d Missouri regiment, who was
captured at Pea Ridge. Lient. Col. Morton
Was formerly Adjutant in the Irish Brigade,
during their campaign in Missouri.
The whole number Of deaths at Camp
Douglas since the first arrival Of prisoners up
to June 1st, is 49l; Of this number about
ninety we're Federal soldiers, leaving some 400
deaths among the prisoners.
The Irish Brigade we're made happy on Sat-
urday by receiving two months pay. The
Scotch regiment has not yet been paid.
Messrs. Pollard Il Doane.
The growth of the wholesale business Of
this city is best shown by the present stand
ing and magnitude of our leading firms.
Messrs. Pollard d Doane succeed the old e.
tablished house Of Smith, Pollard s Co., for
upwards Of twelve years prominently associ-
ated with the wholesale grocery trade Of Chi
cago, and the recent change finds the new
house in occupancy Of one Of the most exten-
siye premises in the city, the double store
Nos. 169 and 19l South Water street, and yet
none too large for their increasing business.
The length Of time they have held their place
in the business community here has given
them an excellent name throughout the region
rf MI, 20 -
and deserVedly too, for few houses west Of
New York can offer equal inducements to the
trade. Their stock comprises everything per-
tanning to their department Of trade, Of which
they offer this season larger and more desir-
able assortment than ever before, with advan-
tages for its display and convenience Of han
ding in store that are surpassed By no other
house. The country trade are beginning to
follow closely the sterling rule derived from
the trying times since 1856, and that is, "Buy
Light, for cash, and buy often,' and in so do
ing expensive journeys to the seaboard are
saved, and bills made up with Chicago houses
at rates competing in every respect with East
ern houses. To firms here like the above
| named this change is largely due, aud their
success keeps even pace and is synonymous
with the progress Of our city. Like Chicago
herself they have lived through the years of
war and panic, and come out upon basis
MORO solid than ever. We do not write this
| inyidiously, for there are others Of whom the
same is true, but the instance selected is one
that will be received without doubt OF cayiI
