The return of the re-enlisted men OF the
9th, 1lth and 14th regiments and the Ist Bat
terry I'LL our streets with soldiers again. They
are tough, hardy, fine looking set of men.
A letter received from Colonel Dyer of the
10th gives assurance that at least 375 men of
this regiment have re-enlisted. We may
therefore look for them in a short time.
There is no truth in the rumor going the
rounds Of the papers that Col. McGilvery has
authority to recruit the Maine Light Artill-
cry to full regiment. The War Department
are decided and firm in refusing to authorize
any more artillery or cavalry.
The visit of General Burnside was the all
absorbing topic Of interest day before yester-
day. Everything passed off pleasantly, and
the General expressed himself gratifled with
his visit. He reviewed the I'd Cavalry regi-
ment in the afternoon, and was very much
pleased with Its appearance.
Brigad&er General Seth Williams, Assistant
Adjutant General to the commander of the
Army Of the Potomac, is in town on short
visit to the family of his father. He is in ex-
cellent health and spirits.
Yours truly, HELIos.
