THE THIRTEENTH WISCONSIN
REGIMENT.
OFF FOR FORT lEAvEhWoRTH.


Tie Thirteenth WISCONSIN Regiment, Col. |
Maurice Maloncy commanding, went into tenn
porary quarters at Camp Trcd~ay, in the vi
cinity Of Jancsvi1le, thc latter part Of October
last, and on Christmas Day they received au
appropriate present from the Government in
the shape Of their arms, ammunition and ac-
coutrcmcnts. The regiment has spent about
three months in camp under the tutorship of
competent drillmasters, and from the manner
in which they executed the few n1annuvres
they were called upon to perform In our streets
on Saturday, VIC should judge they had made
good use Of the time, md improved rapidly IN
the manual of the soldier.
TIE DEPARTURE.
On Saturday last, at ten O'Clock A. NJ, the !
tents were struck at Camp Trcdway, and prep
arations entered into for q rapid journey to |
Fort Leavenworth. The regiment left James |
willie in the best Of spirits and escorted By the
ladies and other citizens Of the place, who
turned out almost Ell nassc to see the gallant
regiment fairly upon tic road for the scene Of
strife. The command filled twenty-five of the
frst-class passenger coaches Of the Northwest
ern Railway. Drawn by two frst-c1ass en-
gines, and under the efficient management Of
the agent, the Thirteenth made the run to
this city in good time, arriving here at three
T. ".
N TIE CITY.
The passage from the Northwestern Depot
TO that Of the Great Central, at the foot Of
Lake street, was an oyation Of which any regi-
mcnt might well feel proud. The streets were
crowded with people, majority perhaps be-
ing ladies, and groups Of admirers were col
lcctcd at all the principal corners, from whom
cheers Of welcome vent heartily forth
THE SUPER.
At tho Depot, the commissioned officers
on invitation Of the management Of the North
western Railroad Company, separated from
their command and adjourned to the spacious
dining hail Of the Sherman House, where, at
about five O'Clock they sat down to one Of
those bountcous rcpasts for which "mine
hosts'' Of that hotel have become 50 famous.
Tic officers did ample justice to the yiands-
| and kindly sentiments were offered and mutual
| good wishes intcrchangcd between officers,
| proprietors and guests. The priyatcs after
taking possession Of the twenty-five passen-
ger coaches provided for their use, were sup
piled with plenty Of smoking hot coffee, four
| barrels Of which werc disposed of in very
short space Of time. This refreshmcnt, which
was indeed refreshment to men who had I'M
dergone 60 much-was furnished By the 1ibcr-
| a1ity Of the Chicago, Burlington i; Quincy
Railroad, ut the order Of Col c. G. hammond.
| FROM CHICAGO TO LEAvESwoRTH.
Every exertion had been made by the Burl-
ington Road and its employers to render the
transit Of the Thirteenth" as agreeable rs
possible. The freight or luggage of the regi-
mcnt filled eight cars The trains, which were
to consist Of eleven passenger carriages each,
| were drawn by the best engines at the com
mand Of the company, numbers ii and So.
Mr. II. Stirring, so we'll known rs the stlast bag
gage" agent on the road, accompanied the COM
mand that nothing the company could do
might be wanting to render everything plea
SAINT and agreeable.
The Palmyra Railroad, as our readers arc
aware, has for some time been considerably
ont Of repair owing to the numerous bridges
which hare been burned by the sccessionists.
To prevent accidents and mike good the dam
age done the line, Col. Hammond despatched
a squad Of employees with plenty of the
tssincws Of war" to the vicinity few days
since, with Instructions to put the road in
good running shape at any expense. This has
undoubtedly all been accomplished ere this,
and alter tlr four mile march, from Quincy
to the Palmyra line, the regiment will meet
1.with no dctcntions and have quick run over
the Hannibal and st. Joseph road to thci1
place Of destination.
TIE MATERIAL OF THE REGIMENT
The regiment is composed principally o
young, hardy, healthy farmers from RocI
) County, Wisconsin. Its health may be iudgeG
from The fact that but six OF eight Of its mum
ber-and it is i full regiment, having littl,
less than thousand privates i'll the ranks
were compelled to remain behind at James
| vile from sickness. Colonel Malony IS vet
i. ! Gran in the military line, having served in tn
regular army for fifteen years and snlelt gun
powder in both Florida and Mexico. He la

duet Of the war. The regiment is thorough
