RETURN OF THE MILITARY.

Arrival of the City Battalion at New Haven-Incidents of ofCamp-Eventng Entertainments.
 The tents at Camp Watson were left standing on Saturday in order to allow them to dry after the drenching rain of the previous night. This rain interfered with the Examinations for which elaborate preparations were made. Soon after 8 o'clock on Saturday evening when the rain ceased to fall for short time, several big sky rockets were sent off and other fire works were discharged. This display was grand while it lasted.
 The military left camp about noon for their respective headquarters. | General Watson and staff remained un- til after all the soldiers had gone, when he formerly turned over the camp ground which has been in his possession for the past eight days to Colonel Morgan of the quartermaster's department.
 The City battalion arrived in this city soon after o'clock and marched, escorted by the Second regiment band, and unde, command of Colonel Doherty, through State, Chapel, Church and Meadow streets to the armory, where they were dismissed after the eight-day encampment. When they arrived at the armory the soldiers were very hot, in consequence ot the heavy marching with knapsack and blan' kets.
 ! The men were sunburned in conse- quence of the exposure at camp, but al were in good spirits and glad to return home.
 The work at camp has been very satis factory to the officers, particularly to Gen eral Embler and Colonel Doherty, wht stated that the work of the Second hae never been equaled at any previous camp l Soon after the City battalion was dis missed at the armory Colonel Doherty wal approached by an old man who protested against his action in asking for the resig nation of Lieutenant Miller of the City Guard in his connection with the outrag
 upon Private Peterson, which has beel detailed in these columns. Who the gen tleman was could not be learned, but l was said to be a relative of Lieutenan Miller. Colonel Doherty gave the gentle man but little satisfaction and walked away to his quarters. Lieutenant Mile has borne an excellent reputation durinl the seventeen years that be has been l member of the company.
 Private Tucker of Meriden, a member o , Company I, Second regiment, stands
 good chance of being court-martialed fo desertion and insubordination. He wa l detailed for guard duty. During the nool
 hour he was excused from guard quarter for his dinner. He failed to return and
 search for him failed to reveal his where's } abouts for a time, but he was later O , found and taken to the guard-house, wher
 he was confined until Saturday morning , when he was liberated. Charges will nov : be preferred against him and he will, in a , probability, be tried by court-martial fo desertion and insubordination. The officers who were located on tn brigade side of the camp have had severs
 enjoyable entertainments during th
 beautiful moonlight evenings. These CT
 tertainments have generally been in
 promptu affairs in which Major Bromle has been so prominent that no gatherin ? of the kind was complete without him, g
 his genial good nature and ready wit mad : him very desirable companion on a such occasions.
