touches. Her Cabin is finished off most elegant
Ily, with all the necesaries and conveniences to
satisfy the most fastidious sailor. Nothing al
been left undone that could add to her strength
and security. As the Captain says. wherever q
bolt would add to her strength, it has been driven
She has a moste apacious hold calculated for 22oC
bushels of wheat. There will be few more service
able vessels on the Lake than the DICK SoMERs

The Adiutant Generals RePOrt-We
have ON our table a copy of the report fthe Adiu>
tant General of this State. 1t is compiled from the
monthly reports ofthe commanding officers ofthe
sew eral Regiments, Batsali ons and Ba tteries now
in the field from this state. 1t contains much valu
able and smany gratifying statistics
which we hope 20 see placed hereafter by the His
torian in a more enduring shape, to be read and
pondered over by our children. 1t makes a record
Tor the glorious old First Regiment Col. Stark
weather. and for the indomitable Second Col.
F airchildj which makes lis feel proud to reflect
that many of those same glorious soldiers are our
friends. Where ali are doing and have done so
we'll II seems invidious to particularize. but we
mention those two regiments, because they are
the oldest and becaus c we seem to be more closely |
connected with them. Their obedience, tkeir I,
their incorruptibIe patriotism, their
generous gratitude for the little WI are able to do
then, their quiet and, persistent GOODNESS in ac>
their bige gentlemanly hearts, their-wel
there We can't express our feelings for them.
We spill our ink and throw down our pen -
God, Bless them, for every thing
