LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The ANNUAL Mn4TABY CoNTEsrs.-As
usual, at the coming annual encampment OF
the Frat Artillery Regiment, prizes will be
offered, to BE- competed for by the respective
companies. The prsprietors of the Mechan-
les Store have noti6ed ths regimental COM
msnder that they desire TO offer large and
fine steel-plate engraving, subject, Sherman
Marching Through Georgia" for competitive
drill. The engraving is now on exhibition at
their store. The rules for the contest are
being drawn up, and will be forwarded to
every company in the regiment in q few
days, 10 order that companies entering may
prepare Themselves. Companies are to be
represented by squsd Of sixteen men, with
two guides, and commanded by commits
stoned officer. The contestants will be in
full uniform. The most difficult movements
in the school Of the company, the manual of
arms and the skirmish drill will probably be
the test. judges will be selected outside Of
the regiment, IN order that no suspicion of
having shown Partially may attach
to them. 1t ia hoped that the ex-
ample of the gentlemen Offering the
prize above mentioned will be followed
by more Of the public-spirited citizens, in
order that prizes may be obtained for shoot
ing contests, and contests between companies
in the school Of the battalion /; also for gen.
erEl appearance and good conduct. The en-.
campment commences on August 11th, and

gsde drill and review by General Carey and

Woodland, end have parade in the streets,
which are frst-eisss for the purpose.

Fair, snd in his criticism of Sacramento said
It was the hottest place in the State"
