Several la: schooners are discharging ice just below the storehouses for the hospitals and camps, and three or four coal ves- sels add to the forrest of masts and rigging at the wharves. Notwithstanding the enormousamount of provisions collected here, there is little or no ‘waste, much less than at the railway depot, and a visitor is struck with the order and system with which everything is done. There ts little ef the shouting and confusion usually among teamsters, and contrary to the custom ps eta when a bale of bay or sack of oats is set down it remeins there unt!l removed by the proper au- thorities. A Dovste Rusaway.—The team of horses ina near Tenallytown evening after ‘aak, and frightened nother team which they passed. Both came from Tenallytown at full speed—it is nearly two miles, but “‘down bill” all the way—and dashed down High strest, in Georgetown, at a fearful , scattering everything in their way. The ites turned off at First s‘zeet, but was brought to a stand by some obstruction, before going far. The driver and one horse were missing, and neither horse nor driver had ‘‘turned up’ last night ata late hour. The wagon and remaining horses sustained no damage of any consequence. The second team continued its course to the corner of High street, the driver keeping his seat and preserving his presence of mind. Finding their speed increasing, he pulled his horses towards Tenney’s corner, where they just grezed the lam; post, and the wagon struck the drinking hydrant, which brought the team to a stand still. The d@amage to the wagon was slight, but the hydrant ‘was knocked out of place and considerably dam- . The escape of the driver was miraculous, and bis management is degerving of praise. Two or three omnibuses were on the stand, and but for the activity of Mr. Littlejohn in hurrying them off when he saw the runaway approaching, there might have been consid: damage. ‘Fux Lincotn Cavate e Balt. American in noticing the Lincoln Cavalry, says: The com. mand numbers 1,500 men,of whom only 900 ar- rived yesterday, one company of the regiment dei ia Washington. The uniform consists of dark-blue cloth jackets and pantaloons, both trimmed with yeliow cord, and a regulation hat. The regiment is composed of Americans, Irish- men and Germans, who are al] hardy men. The officers of the regiment, so far as they have been appointed, are Col. Andrew J. McReynolds, Lieut. Col. Count Moltki, Adjutant Jason Batters- dy, Chaplain Rev. Dr. Chas. Reigbley, Sergecn rd Elliott, Quartermaster E. H. Bailey, Ald-de- Gamp F.C. Adams, and ptains Ogle, Haw- Kins, Todd, Sternes, Bennet, Stoach, Haurand and Shackleford. Loox out rox THE Bocus Vipprxs.—The pub- Me bi ioned to beware of female imposters, in the gi of mourning, going to door asking alms, and helping themselves to whatever they can carry with them conveniently. They bave no doubt by this time laid in pply of groceries and preserves for coming winter, In anticipation of hard times. They are rather ladylike in appearance; talkative, and exceedingly troublesome to get rid of when once admitted. As the elder Weller remarked : “ Be- wage of the vidders.”” Gong Ovar to tus Exxuy —The New York Times of yesterday says that ‘‘ Surgeon Ganselen, formerly in charge of the Union Hospital at Georgetown, has resigned. He obtained leave of absence, and went directly to Secesh by way of Niagara Falls, st which place he wrote bis resig- nation, and forwarded it to the Department. He isa native of Virginia. and assigns as a renson that he will lose his property in that State if he continues longer in the service of the Govern- ment.” We have not been able to ascertain the truth of the statement.

Boston, Aug. 27 —Several thousand ple gatbered around the Tremont House to night, the ecession being a serenade to the Hon. Jos. Holt, of Ky. After appropriate airs by the band, Mr Holt appeared on the steps of the hotel, and was introduced to the crowd by Edward Everett, who mede some oomenoniney: and very patriotic re marks. Mr. Holt was received with earnest en- thusiesm, and spoke about fifteen minutes. Mr Holt said be came to Boston not only to see the city but to revive his marketer ged amid the thrilling associations that clustered around the cradle of liberty. He was most gratefully sur- pred by the cordiality of th a hankful for that recognition of fidelity to our country, and also for the kind allusions to his na- tive State, whose stars had been so long obscured by unfaithful public men, but which were now preparing to shine with the lustre of other days.
