We learn from Mayor Hoffman, of Al- 1 antic City that the Stb Maryland Regiment will pitch its summer camp on the ' lame ground as list year. The opportunity to Induce the soldiers to take up \ their march for the Cape has been mis- , ■ed, and another blow given to the , Cape by the indifference of cily j council which Is alone to blamj- for the j Hh going to Atlantic Ciiy Instead of coming tore.
