Third Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers,

tau, Gloucester county, on the 18th inst.
1t is rumored that the officers of the
Seventh are divided as to whom they
shall elect to the Colonelcy of their Reg
iment. Lieut.. Col. Donnelly is very
popular, and all agree would make good
commander, but some are, however, very
much attached to one who lately distin-
guished himself at Yorktown and brought
credit upon our State. The election will
be held in Trenton.
Just before reviewing the Washington
Battalion, as Gen Sewell and staff were
passing along the piazza of Congress Hall,
Cape May, on Thursday Of last week,
going to the reviewing point, the guests of
the hotel gathered there loudly sppIaud-
ed the distinguished commander of the
Second Brigade.
Col. Benz. F. Chambers, Assistant Ad-
jutant General of the National Guard
was last week at the Stockton Hotel Cape
May, and now, we learn, he has made a
flank movement through the State of
Pennsylvania and has secured favorable
position on the bank of the Delaware
River for short recreation at the Water
Gap House in that State.
There is no doubt that the Second
Brigade N. G. N. J., General W. j..
Sewell, commanding, will form part of
the procession at the bi-centenniaI in
Philadelphia on the Oath of October.
Somebody suggests that the Yorktown
Battalion parade as such, but there is very
little ikelyhood of such an arrangement.
The men are preparing to make first
class turnout on that day.
Designs and specifications are adver-
tised for by the Monmouth Battle Mon
ument Committee for granite monument
not to cost more than $1,000, to CONNIE
morate the battle of Monmouth.
Vredenburgh Post, G. A. r., of Man
asquan are holding an encampment at Sea
Girt. Posts throughout the State have
been invited to send delegates. The camp
is conducted, as nearly as possible, as in
the days of the rebellion. 1t will con-
tinue until Saturday.
Target practice at Brinton will be re-
samed by all the regiments in the State
in September and October.
