tired to partake of plentiful refreshments,
which had beenprovided in the neighborhood,
and returned to the city in the evening, hav-
ing marched SO miles--and faithfully per-
formed the duties of this interesting ocCasi-

A more gratifying spectacle has seldom
been presented, than was exhibited on this
interesting occasional remnant of the revo-
lutionary army dedicating monument TO the
memory ofa meritorious and much esteemed
brother officer, assisted in this solemn and
affecting duty by the services of brilliant
corps, consisting of near three hundred volun-
teer cavalry, and the attendance of sympa-
thizing multitude of several thousand citizens,
who had convened from the adjacent coun-
ties, gave an interest to the whole scene,
which words would but family express.
