GLEN MITCHELL, Saratoga, July, 4, 1872.
The Seventh regiment, New York National Guard
did not pass very comfortable night of it last night
In camp, but, as the boys did not come up here
specially to find comfort, they were, OF course not
disappointed. The fact is that the hurricane which
ushered them into the camp played sad havoc with
the tents and the first night In their new resi-
dence was decidedly full Of soldiers misfortunes.
The Lieutenant Coonel's tent was paid exceed ing
great honor to by the wind doubt out Of respect
for his high rank. He felt sleepy at "tapsn like
everybody else, and, like a good boy, went
his peaceful way to his quarters, full of
o soldiers ambition to suffer all the ills
that camp life Is heir to and all the other
ills that the artces Of the night owls of the regi-
ment could invent. Sad to say, and truly, the only
thing he found where his tent originally erected
was the floor. No tent was visible and detail of
the guard, after securing the glen for miles around,
only succeeded In finding small shred of the can
vas in the branches OF a big oak that shades the
road far away from the camp limits.
OTHERS JUST so.
Several other tents were found wanting wh en-
sought for, and it is expected that one or two of
them sailed down to the village on their own ac-
count where they will be obtainable when not
wanted.
IN HUMoR AND ON THE ALERT
However, the gray coats made the best OF the
situation and turned in in good order when the
drums beat the lights out.
They were shaken up by the morning gun about
half-past lour O'Clock this morning. after the officer
of the day had decided the hour or sunrise by con-
sulting the HERALD time-guage.
GLORIOUS SALUTE OF THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
At noon glorious Fourth of July salute of thirty
seven gun was given, the men at the battery
handling the pieces in splendid style. The day was
observed as a regular holiday In camp. The Colonel
allowed the boys to go to the village In great num-
bers where they enjoyed themselves to their hearts,
mostly visitors at the hotels, visited the grounds
ana early in the evening several hundred gathered
together on the grand stand of the race course in
the hope OF witnessing the evening parade. The
rain poured down in torrents, however, all the after
nOon and the parade did not take place. much to
the disgust oil the spectators.
READY.
BY ro-morow the regiment will have got things to
right in the camp and the new life VIII be fully
fnaugurated. Meanwhile several OF the companies
have determined to make their streets the most
fashionable outskirts about town. The men oil the
first company, captain Alison, has so far earned for
themselves the reputation Of the '1rrcpressibes,n
and have turned their street into perfect Chat
SJfccl. Every tent nus Deen maze n feature IN
Itself, aud a New Yorker would certainly be aston.
ished IL he happened by chance 10 stroll into the
camp when the officer OF the day is not on
his inspecting tours, for familiar Gotham business
signs meet one eye mt every turn. one tent has
painted shngle hanging over the entrance an
noxncing 70 all colners that anybody get GER
tain Kind OF patent pills to order for given sum
per box. Another tent Is adorned with a lady and
hairdrcssins card, while others are made pctur-
esque with placards giving the news OF the day
from various parts OF the world. or course the
news Is not always given reliably but still SO far
everybody seems 10 DC satied with Ii, so there is no
complaint.
The street was thrown into great confusion this
afternoon ut the news tent by dispatch from
Central Africa by the newest Kind OF cable, an
nouncing that Livingstone will endeavor to get
home in time to pay the regiment visit in camp
This dispatch was signed, STANLEY" and is re-
garded Of the curiosities Of the day. Certain
hieroglyphics after Stanleys signature ex-
planned In foot note az private information to the
editor OF the HERALD. Added TO which Is a inter-
preters foot note giving the details OF the
pondents meeting with Livingstone which the
translation says was affecting to witness.
THE GOVERNOR EXPECTED

place when the Governor Will come to do the hOn0rs
of the occasion.
