FIFTH BRIGADE.-In the annual report of Adj
jutant General Kibbe we find the following letter
from Brigader General Bidwel relative to the
Fifth Brigade Encampment held last November
SIR In compliance with the instructions con-
tanned in your communication of the LIST instant,
i have the honor to report that on the third day
of November, discharged the agreeable duty of
reviewing the troops at Camp Ellis. The follow
ing were the companies present during the en-
campment and at the review, to-wit: The 0ro-
vile Guard, Captain H. b. Hunt Lassen Ran
gers Captain b. Neel Lyon Light Infantry,
Captain Samuel Francis Siskiyou Light Guard
Captain G.. w. Chase: Truman Head Rifles.
Captain W. f. Hopping Hallcck Rifles, Captain
C. McGowan Douglas City Rifles, Captain f.
\. Kclton. These companies had, with one ex-
cepton, Travelled long distances to reach the
place of encampment, ranging from forty to one
hundred and fifty miles. They had entered up
on and gone through the course of instruction
with a rare earnestness of purpose. and the re-
suit demonstrated that they had appreciated the
opportunity and well improved the time. Their
appearance creditable and soldicrly Ali
movements were executed with precision that
would have done credit to older troops. For the
purpose of instruction these companies were,
during the encampment, temporarily organized
into a battalion, and Major John Hill was APP
pointed to act as Colonel, and instruct them in
battalion drill. He discharged the duties of the
position in manner which left nothing to be
desired. Lieutenant Colonel K. Simson, Acting
Ordnance Officer my staff devoted part OF
each day and improved every opportunity to I'M
mart ipstructions to the officers. This was done
with an alacrity and cheerfulness peculiar to
himself and which won for him the gratitude of
the entire brigade. II gives RE singular pleas
nre to embrace this occa sioE to acknowledge the
services of these accomplished officers, 20 whose
skill and untirng exeriions the Filth Brigade
Encampment mainly owes its success.

THE DELEGArEs.-As a general thing the
Union State Convention made good choice of
delegates for Baltimore. There is enough talk
ing talent in it to do all the speech making, and
the balance is made up of some of our best : solid
men. who have interests at stake in this State,
and are intelligent and honest. The Convention
had majority of something like a hundred over
the faction who wished to make some sort of
demonstration against Senator conness. In only
instance did the minority attempt to elect a
dclegate-and that was, to elect Nr. Sykes from
Nevada 1t being understood tlla he was put
forward by Mr.. Sargcmts friends, he was Of
course badly defeated. The friends of Mr.. Con-
ness made no struggle for supremacy, further
than to insist that he should he let alone, and
that no man should be sent to Baltimore who
would go there to make factions war On the Sen
ator because OF his official course thus far. In
this they fully succeeded and no factionist or
friend of factioniStS has been clccted.--Sdcrd-
