MILITARY MATTERS,

An exchange contains the following in
formation concerning the Mulligan regi-
ment:
Adj. Gen. billiard has just concluded a
correspondence with the war department
at Washington which is of very consider
able Importance to quite number of sol
diers of the late war When Col. Multi
CAMS regiment the Twenty third Illinois,
surrendered to the rebels at Lexington,
Mo, the muster-in rolls were captured
On the 10th of September, 1851, the regi-
ment was mustered out of service by Gen.
Fremont, bnt was subsequently recalled
to service by order of Gen. Mcclellan. 1t
was recognized in Chicago, but many of
the men, ignorant of the order, never re-
sponded.
All who failed to respond to the order
have since been carried on the records as
deserters, notwithstanding a goodly num-
Der of them enlisted in other organizations
and served through the war. The cores
pondence above alluded to has resulted in
Gen. Hilliard securing a copy of the orig
inal muster-in rolls which has been for
warded to Washington, and an order which
puts right on the record the men who have
through all these years been classed as de

Mr.. Stuhr cana forth from the recesses of
his incubalators with some newly discov-
cred object so deeply interesting as to
entirely engross his attention. An animal

chicken Just Matched, possessed of four
complete legs and three wings. The pro-
duction of these superluous members,
however, had the embyrotic life, and 1t has
persisted an account OF its superabund-
ant possessions. After due inspec
ton of this curiosity, the scribe
was shown the collection of fowls, embrac-
ing some rare specimens of Chinese geese,
and among them wild goose, perfectly
tame. A long procession of valuable Pc
kin ducks waddled lazily and contentedly
to the river, and here the humble natural

and brought out dead duck, which, he ex
planned, had been poisoned. Some few
years before, he said, he had started his
collection of pets, to crafty his own tastes
and had selected his present location, that
others might not DO annoyed thereby. But
during the past winter some wretches, who
are as vet unknown, or only suspected, by
him. had poisoned several of his most val
liable animals, and this had been contin
ued; without provocation on his part, to
this, the last victim. Having recited his
woes, and mourned over the rapid deple-
ton which had cost him much time and
money, including the destruction of his
rattlesnalzes by the intense cold of last win
ter, the remaining portion was shown:
The burrows of his prairie dogs were seen,
but the inmates failed to show up. A rare
little midget of terrier, three months old,
and smaller than a rat, gamboled on the
doorstep with great Maltese cat. One
word of call was sufficient to bring togeth

ing and kissing, all eager for food Sever
al rare specimens of imported pigeons of
great beauty, were in an extensive bird
house, together with several nondescript
varieties, and game fowls, cedar birds, and
others.
In the house were white mice, one or
two ugly-looking snakes, which Mr.. Stuhr
handled with perfect impunity, several
beautiful specimens of stuffed birds and
small animals. and pure-minded parrot,
whose natural propensities for swearing
had been conquered by many chastise-
ments and removal from outside and i'm
