arriving In the city at three and escorted h,
nearly all the troops in camp, and will parade
through some of the principal streets. The

| The organization OF the "Fifty-seyenth ~
/ Was commenced on the eth Of September
last, and the regiment was mustered In on the
26th Of December following. Since that time
the men have been without pay, and almost
without the necessary means OF procur-
ing cemf0fts. They, however, have bone
their dcpriyations nobly until the marching
orders for Cairo were promulgated. Consid~
| cradle discomfort vas then expressed, and the
regiment at first utterly refused to move. Pc
titions and remonstrances were freely circu-
lated, and placards were conspicuously posted
in camp bearing the motto, "No pay-No
Cairo" Col Baldwin addressed the men with
happy effect, promising to use his influence
