Allot r day of the memorable sojonrn of the Grey Reserves at Cape Island has panned, and it baa been my 1cm eventful than the two days which Immedi ately preceded It Tbm Ainrnltlen of Noldlrrln. When the Greys crawled under their tents at Camp tTpton on Sunday night, to dream over the unproce- . Skated honors which had been so profusely heaped pon them by the President of tho United States, not ne oi them Imagined that their profound eompla ency and complete sclf-satlsfactlon could be mato- rtally disturbed, after it had sustained the slight rume ecusloncd by the hurry of the Presidential party in jrettlnR away from the Island. Hut the courageous fart, when it shoulders a musket, Is ofttlmcs obliged lo fue'e the elements as well as the enemy. Hueh a falo was decreed for tho Grey Reserves. Tim sun auk to rest only to darken the scene while the storm king was marshalling his forces. Some of "the troops" which had 'received their old commander wllh cheers" had been soldiering before, and were not less weather-wise than they were martial. Many of them felt the approach of tho mflsqiiorade of the Icments in the marrow of their bones, and they were heedful enough of the warning to hunt up a shovel and dig a trench round about their tent. When, about midnight, the storm burst upon the amp in literal as well as figurative fury, these wise and valiant campaigners rolled over on their cots and laughed in the face of their assailant. Hut there were not a few foolish youths In the encampment who had scorned the sapper s work, and to their dis may they soon found them.ielves afloat and seaward bound. Then they bestirred themselves and their hovels, and again crawled under their canvas in the plight of the traditional drowned rat. The Srt KcMcrvcH Mil Hint n Another IH-tnp-puiiM iik-iiI. The grand and central object of Interest to the Tcjerans of Camp I'pton yesterday wan, as a matter . of course, the monster military bull which , was to transpire In the evening. Hut a somewhat exciting episode had been appointed for the afternoon, and this was the review of the regiment by Major-General Meade The Greys hud been so nulled up with vanity by the attentions of President Grant, that at ue time they were almost inclined to regard this contemplated review as a lamentable falling off In the splendor of their martial. achievements. But when "their old commander" had actually put to Bea in the Tallapoosa, they began to think that, after all, It would not materially sully their record to pass in review before the hero of Gettysburg; and when they crawled out of their tents on Monday morning, their high-flying notions hud been so dampened by the storm that they were in a mood to regard the presence of General Meade in the light of a very dis tinguished honor. Thereupon they set their hearts npon It. General Meade had promised to come, and his arri val was anxiously looked lur ty the morning train. But General Meade did not arrive by the morning train. Nor did the evening train number lilm among its passengers. Instead of General Meade, In Bis own proper and Illustrious person, came a simple telegram, which announced that a storm was pre vailing in the city, that the General had pressing en gagements, and that Major-General Van Vliet, who was already on the island, and therefore presumed to be without pressing engagements and without fear of the storm, had bocu requested to represent blm. The Greys at once accepted the situation, and con cluded to inspire the venerable Chief Quartermaster Of the Department of the East with the belief that they were entirely worthy of all the attentions wliliji they had received at the hands of the greatest aptain of this particular age and nation, or of auy other age and nation. At half-past 5 o'clock In the alternoon the camp was crowded with visitors from the island. In fact, there were more spectators on hand than had turned out on the previous duy, when his Excellency himself hud given "the troops" a third opportunity to "re ceive their old commander with cheers." When General Van Vliet appeared upon the scene, in f.ill uniform, he was attended by Major Carstairs, simi larly attired, and by Colonel Cadwalader, of Gene ral Meade's stun', In citizen's dress. The advent of the distinguished guest was heralded by the llrlng of a Major-General's saluto of fifteen guns; the regiment broke Into columns by companies, and marched by General Vau Vleit in review; it then broke Into sections, and repassed on the double quick; it then formed In line, and gave the saluta tion of "present arms;" it then went, through the manoeuvres of the battalion drill; anil the thing was done and well done. Into the bargain. Tbe "Jolree ftlllltuire." Meanwhile, the Island was alert with preparations foi the crowning event of the day, the Soiree Mill taire, which was to transpire at tbe Stockton House. The mammoth dining-room of this establishment was very tastefully decorated for the event the de corations, however, being precisely the same as at Congress Hall on Saturday eveaing previous. Long festoons of bunting encirccd the apartment, im parting to it a picturesque and patriotic, as well as martial aspect Tne Greys at the proper time donned their white pautatoons, shrugged their shoulders up into their full dress Jackets, grasped their weapons, and left the encampment early In the evenlug for toe march upon the town. They likewise left behind lhera thirty or forty miserable and nilsanthroplo creatures, who were charged with the unwelcome duty of guarding the camp while their comrales in arms were to be en gaged In the lively action upon the floor of the bull room. The despair of these poor fellows was slightly assuaged, however, by the assurance that at half-past eleven they would be relieved by a like number, and get a chance to trip their toes fnut4.l.a:!y lu the small hours of the morning When the doors of tho hull-room ere thrown open, about ten o'clock, us brilliant a tliru. ; .i ever passed Into any ball-room since the world of r million lirst gave Itself over to dancing passed lUelf thri.-js1; the passage. First of ull, of course, were the heroes of Camp Upton and Congress Hall, In their trim and jaunty rig. but without their dangerous weapons. Then there were a half score or so of the uieiubuiH of the First City Troop of Philadelphia, with feathers In their caps thut threatened to scrape tho celling, and hoots so long drawn out in the leg. that their two-inch coat tails uppeared to be as long as was needful. Then then) a . squad of Baxter Zouaves, With Itiiiniuif red trousers, ami delegations also of the National Guards and Washing ton Greys, of Philadelphia, and the bth Kegln?"t of Maryland Militia, nil conspicuously attired. Then there was a group of men whose swords did some DOtable work during tie war, and io fully complied with the request of their liosts by appearing in full uniform, ranking nil the way from simple majors up to major-generals. Then there were men of mark In the business aud social world followed by hundreds whose fame Is yet restricted to ordinary circles. And then there were the ladies, conscious of beauty aud goigeousness of apparel. The room was crowded, and two thou .and can be stowed away In It with comfort When the dancing was fairly under way, the scene was unquestionably the most vtrlugfited aud bril liant thut bus been or will bo witnessed at Cape Island during the present seuson, and in the minds of many of the old frequenters of the Island sur passed anything and everythiug of the kind that has transpired in the past If President Grant bad but concluded to remuin another day and a half, the climax of glory would have been attained by tho Greys, and not one of lliein, on his return to the city, would have condescended to recogurlzo the friends of other days. Ily half-past one o'clock this morning the band liad puffed and scraped its way most melodiously to the twenty-eighth item on the programme, and then struck op "Home, Sweet Home," and thus the suc t cshf ul and pleasurable affair was brought to a ter- AT mlnatlon. The attending throngs then dispersed, the island for an hoar being in a hnbhnb by the cries of that peculiar species of tho Jersey land-shark which is Tnlgarly termed a hackman. Such of the participant as were stopping at the Stockton were of course saved this Infliction for once, but two or three of them discovered, on retiring to their apart ments, that another species of land-shark had been at work, and carried off everything portable and of value.

The programme for the diversion of the Grey Re serves during the remainder of the week presents several Items of Interest To-day they will be re viewed by Major-General Charles M.

IIILDERRAXD. The Outlaw of MiNHonrl Another Kffortto Cnp tiire Iliui 111 C'nve Discovered -Anxiety of llii-Mnli; OllicinlN While He I.Ives. Wc have given at different times intelligence relative to tlic doings of this notorious despe rado, and of the rewards and efforts made for his capture. From the St. Louis Democrat of the ICth inet. we take tho particulars of the latest attempt to arrest him: TUB RECENT EXPEDITION It has bcen gcnerallvknown to the public that, with a view of capturing the outlaw, "dead or alive," a large sheriff's posse was put in tho fl dd aLout a month ago. and placed under the com nu ndof Colonel William D. Bowen, of the St. Lt uis police force. The posse consisted of 200 n en, organized by Sheriff Murphy, of St. Fran c is county, oniy ten of whom, when mustered, wtre armed, and their weapons consisted mostly in uui eqiurrei guns. J ins iorce was intended to 6cour the country lying along Big river, Flat creek, and on the Plattin, also the region about the Valle Mines and the Pike Hun Hills. The country is very broken; the streams and deep ravines are in many places chut out from the sunlight by lofty ledges of rocks and elevated ridges, in which are numerous caverns, atfordiug a place of shelter and concealment to wanderers and desperadoes. Colonel Bowen, who commanded the dossc returned to tbe city on Wednesday uiirht. the object of his search having eluded capture, although several times almost within the grasp of his pursuers. we learn from Jeflerson Citv. thouirh not ofli- cinlly, that the Sheriff's posse will be disbanded ana probably reorganized as a military force, and that the counties of St. Francois and Medi son will be declared bv the Governor to be under martial law, or placed in a stage of siege. We give the above rumor for what it is worth. t rom our correspondents who have kept us ported from time to time in regard to the pro gress of the expedition, which, for prudential rt neons, lias been kept back until all prospect of success appears to have been abandoned, we compile the following interesting narrative: ADVENTCKES OF THE PARTY IN SEARCH OP IIIL- DE11KAND. Colonel Bowen left St. Louis on the last expe dition on the 17th of June, and arrived nt Potosi on the l'.ith. He stopped at Irondale waiting for the sheriff's posse, when twenty men reported. Sheriff Breckinridge, of Washington county, couia not get a man to volunteer. on tne Mlh Colonel liowen started with ten of the Irondale men. and Ollicers McQueen, Schulster, and Watson of the St. Louis police iorce, in quest oi midcuruna. At 10 o clock that night they arrived at the house of one Hill, a loyal man, und said to have suffered from Hildcrhrnnd in various ways, and here they rested until 3 o'clock A. M. of the 21st. A CALL ON HILDEIIUANU'S SISTEK. They then marched before daylight to the house of Jlildcbrand's sister, having received ln- lorinutlon that the outlaw was stopping there. Soon after dnvlight thev learned that Jlildrt- brand had left the premises in the night some two hours before their arrival. They obtained their information in this way: The family at first obstinately refusing, ns was natural, to in form against their relative,they threatened to hang up two of the youngest boys, when the finallest a lad eijjht years old divulged the secret. Tbe bov said his uncle had been there two days, and' that his wounds were dressed by his mother. He left the hout-e, us stated, jus', in time to dude capture. After obtaining this important information, the posse did not arret-t the woman, or treat her With any disrespect, lt being considered that she bud only perlorined h, sister's part towards brother, ln harboring him, though an outlaw, contrary to tho recent proclamation. It would have been against the promptings of human na ture to have done otherwise. AltKEs'f OP IIlLDEHRANIl'S I1UOTII EIl-IN-L AW. On the evening of tho iM the party arrc-ded William Harris, the brother-in-law of Hilde brand. This Harris formerly Served under Colonel Iioweu, his present captor, in the 10th Missouri Cavalry. They also arrested a man named Cash, and another named Dunham. These men were ta'.lcved to be in tho habit of conveying messages from Hildebrand to various parties in thai section, threatening them with harm if they did not Immediately com ply with his demands. This black-mailing system, it is stated, has been carried ou by Hildebrand among loyal citizens cversluce the close of the war. MOllK HANGING FOR INFORMATION. After promising bribes, threats were resorted to, and finally tho hunglng process was tried, in order to extort information from the prisoners. After hanging awhile, the truth was choked out of them, aud they informed Col. Bowen that ITIldebmnd lived In a cave on Bli? river, on Squire Wesley Murphy's placfi, about half a mile from the old residence recently occupied by tho outlaw. Pnnhsm said that he had done the blddlmr of Flildebrnnd tbrongh fear that he would kill him If he refused. Harris informed his captors that two days before he had taken a side of bacon and some corn bread to Ilildcrbrand's cave, and that the provisions had to be lowered from tha top of the cliff down to the mouth of the cave with a rope. MARCH TO THB CATB. The prisoners were still kept under arrest, and employed as cuhleJ- On the mornln of the 23d, Colonel Bowen, having made a disposi tion of the force under his command, went in search of tho cave where- it was believed tho outlaw was concealed. Two of Jhe men were ordered to proceed along the top of the bluff to a point where they were told tho mouth of tho cave could be seen. The balance of the com mand marched along the bottom between thu river and the bluffs, with a view of scaling them from below. The bottom land was heavily um bered, and a silent gloom pervaded tho deep re cesses of this wild and broken region. At length they arrived at the vicinity of the cavern. The overhanging cliffs towered np 300 feet above the river. Tho mouth of the cavern was found to be 200 feet above the foot of the bluffs and about 100 feet below tho top of the cliff. In this almost inaccessible place there was dis cerned a narrow ledge jutting out about ten feet from the face of the cliff, and elow and on a level w ith the mouth of tho cavern. This nar row ledge afforded a platform for standing-room, but how to reach it was the next (piest'iou which engaged attention of the attacking party. Seve ral attempts were made to scale the bluffs at this point. Sonic of the more daring would get up forty or fifty feet, and, finding a little niche in the rocks suilicicnt to maintain tUeirposition, saw nothing but a perpendicular wall of stone rising above them for perhaps twentv feet, with no chance to obtain a foothold, and they had to de scend. The attempt to rcacli tho eavu at this place was abandoned. Thev went back a quarter of a mile and found a place where they suc ceeded, with great difficulty, in climbing to the top of the ledue. The man ahead would grasp hold of the bushes, and assist the next behind with one hand, in pulling him along. Large rocks would become detached and roll down into the chasm below with a thundering crash. These loosened stones opened up the hiding places of several rattlesnakes. Three snakes were killed, and the rattles brought away as trophies. ENTERING THE CAVERN. After gaining the. top of the bluffs with the whole force, they descended amid considerable peril to the jutting ledge which led to the cavern, by letting each other down. It was about an hour after daylight. Two entrances were found to the cavern. About twenty feet from tho mouths the passages united, fortninr. a long, dark chamber about two hundred feet in depth, and fifteen feet in height. A walking-stick, which had been previously described to the pnrty as belonging to Hildebrautl, was found nt one of the entrances to the cavern. Ashes from a recently-built fire were ulso seen outside the entrance. Two men were posted at each of the entrances, and the sieiro was commenced. The men thought they had tho refugco almost within their grasp. Colonel Bowen, believing it to be altogether too perilous to risk his men in the outlaw's den, determined to starve or smoke him out. The latter could be effected whenever the wind blew in the ritrht direction. so ns to drive the smoke Into the recesses of the cavern. A quantity of dry wood was lowered down from the heights above. Eight rilles were kept cocked and aimed so as to cross-fire on the occu pant within should he attempt to make an exit from his place of concealment. Thus thev re mained all day. After dark a lire was kindled. which illuminated the wilderness below to great distance. Tho place was a perfect lookout for the w hole country, and the fire wns visible at a great distance. The point is half wav be tween Vnlle's Mines nnd Skintown or Big Kivcr Mills, about eight miles distant from each. THE KIRTI FLOWN. Next morning a report was brought to tho be siegers that there was another outlet to the cavern, the mouth of which was half a mile dis tant on the other side of thu hill. Fearing that tins might be the case, It was determined to scnreli tho interior ot the cavern at all hazards Four men volunteered for the enterprise, two taking one entrance, and Colonel Bowen aud two men the other. They proceeded cautiously to tho farthest ex tent ot the cavern, nnd found nobodv there. A bed of leaves, from appearances recently oecu- picu, cnp-ioxcs, bullets, some powder in tin cans, fishing tackle, empty bottles and other relics denoting recent occupancy, were dis covered. Much disappointment wns felt. It was subse quently ascertained that Hildebrand left the cavern on the night previous to the arrival of his pursuers. WHERE HE WENT. The fact was learned from one Nash, who was arrested half a mile from the cave. Nash said that Hildebrand came to his house on the night of the 2Iid, arriving about midnight. He stopped till morning nnd went away carrying off Nash's rifle. As ho left, he told Nash he" would kill him if he gave any information. It is proper to men tion that Nash was strung up bya rope and hung till he turned black in the face before imparting the above information. Nash's sou, a boy twelve years of age, on the evening of tho 25th, told Bowen that ho had agreed to take to Hildebrand, by consent of his father, a quart of whisky, for which Hildebrand 'md furnished him the money. The boy was to procure the whiskey at Mathews' store, on "Vinegar Hill," live miles distant, nnd to bring it to Hildebrand at 12 o'clock that night on a path leading from the road passing Nash's house to old Mrs. Adams' housp, and that he would find him (Hildebrand) on that path, where ther were two lurge rocks on either side. ANOTHER PLAN OF CAl'TLTKE. Colonel Bowen immediately formed a plan to capture Hildebrand and his quart of whisky, lie moved his force away from that neighbor hood, some eight miles distant, in order not -to excite tho suspicions of Hildebrand's friends as to his intention. During the rem lining hour of liuht the ground in the vicinity was recon noitred. A NIOIIT MARCH. At night the command was countermarched, and pickets were posted along the path leading to the two rocks from both directioas. At mid night the entire force moved on the rocks, where they expected to find the outlaw. It was dark, and the rain poured down in torrents. The men could not distinguish each other. They stumbled over tho rocks and ran against trees, nnd at last surrounded the rocks, but Hildebrand wus not there. The next morn ing they discovered slgus of his h iviug been in the vicinity, such as bucon rind, some venison, and the iislies of a recent fire. A deerskin was found bunging on the limb of a troe. SCOUTING OPERATIONS. After this the scouting force was divided in squads of three or four, uud sea'tcred over the country f oino fifteen miles lu extent. They were picketed on the by-paths, in tho woods, aud the approaches to tho caverns. Colonel Bowen, ns stated by a correspondent, took up his headquarters at Wesley Murphy's, where ho and bis men fared well, waiting for information from his different scouting parties. NEWS FKOM SKINTOWN. In a few days information was received from Mr. Turlcy, living one mile from Skintown, that Hildebrand had been into his wheat field. He did not sec him till he came plump upon him. Ilildeb'nnd was barefooted, and, holding up one foot, ho said he wanted a pair of shoes. Turlcy, getting alarmed, told bis visitor to leave Immediately, as the woods were full of soldiers. Tills ho reported to headijuarters, the ruling motive being attributed to lour in both cases. The men were again freshly posted in sight of every house and cave where there was reason to believe the fugitive might take shelter, and I Colonel Bowen returned to Bt. Louis.
