SEVENTH STRIKES TENTS.
Regiment Expected to Arrive at Jersey City on Monday.
Special to The New York Times.McALLEN, Texas, Nov. 21.—As the last note of the general bugle call was sounded in the camp of the Seventh Regiment this afternoon every tent was struck. Where the minute before had been a city of conicals was now only a flat brown waste, with a thousand happy soldiers in uniforms dancing about and cheering.
It is expected that the regiment will be able to leave here tomorrow evening, and that it will arrive in Jersey City on Monday evening. Loading of the wagons and baggage was begun today. The Pullmans will arrive tomorrow.
To help the Seventh get away quickly and to enable it to pack all the stoves and other mess equipment, the Sixty-ninth Regiment has invited the entire unit to luncheon tomorrow. Then the Sixty-ninth will march to the trains to bid its neighbors good-bye.
