Muster Of Children-We are reques-

ments for showing attention to general
La Fayette on his return to this city, it
is intended to parade all the children of
the respective tree schools, and the sew
eral Sunday schools in this city, and let
them pass in procession before bim.--
The procession would thus be swelled
to the extent of from fifteen to twenty
thousand. We think this will be a short
and efiectual way of convincing the gen.
eral ofthe rising glory, and giving him
a view Of the future greatness of our
country, and also, of our knowledge of
arithmetic at least to the rule of multi
