Among the military men in attend- | ance was General Sickles, accompanied by an officer of hie staff. PERSONAL.—General E. W. Gantt, of Arkan- sas, (formerly of the rebel army,) arrived in the city yesterday, and is stopping at Wil- lards’. Mirirary DErparturx.—The negro reernify ing camp, esjabliched here about ten days. sinee, was broken up on yesterday. About twenty recruits, we learn, were obtained up to the hourof departnre. It is quite likely that others will be picked up on the route to Bene- dict, and it is not »mprobable that a captaincy will be the reward of Li-ut-nant Smithson’s labors. We have heard no charges made against the negro troops during their sojourn hee, apd we believe their conduct has been uniformly commendable.—St. Mary’s Gazetie, Feb. With.
