The supper would have been a very
pleasant affair, If there had been snftici.n,

PSrCANP oARIrIH.-since the arriva,
Of the squadron of cavalry from Conn.c-
ticut and their occupancy of Camp Garlic
the Island has again assumed CAV and
lively appearance. The cavalry have
pitched their tents in the old camp and
the horses are hitehed in and around the
old halls. General Rosscrans and Captain
h"rtspff visited the camp yesterday. The
men were busiIy engaged in fixing nm III.
dilapidated old quarters and making them
fit for occupancy. Considerable curiosity
has been manifested to see these soldiers.
as they are supposed to be tho real live
Yankees for which those of secesh per.
suasions pretend to have such ptofonnd
disgust. Those who may entertain this
curiosity will find the men. composing tbi,
squadron not unlike other people. Their
faces are generally bright, earnest aud in
telligent, and we have no doubt they are
the best of soldiers,
The effects of tue late flood are vet visit
BILE upon the Island. TIE food threw up
9 great quantity of old logs and rubbish,
which still lies upon the low places adding
nothing to their beauty or usefulness.
Many of the fences were carried away and
have not been replaced and the destruction
appears to have been considerable,
The road between the two bridges is in
most horrible condition. The Island is
within the city limits but the city claims
that it is the duty Of the Bridge Company |
TO keep the street in repair. Others say
that it ought to be kept in repair as a por-
ton of the National Road. So that being
everybody's business it is nobody's, and |
the thoroughfare has become like a,couu-
try corduroy road. The street ought to
be repaired for it is in most miserable
condition.
