Such timbers, boards, &c. as cannot be had in

During this march, recollcct that there were

the continued Ginning and ringing of more than
forty bells. This is but faint description of
the reality.

labor of undergoing the civili;ies since his ar
rival IN the country: when repeatedly cOndolled

our officers looked, aud, when passing through
one ofthe ornamental arches thrown across one
of the streets, where his name was coupled with
that OF Washington, he raised his hands, and
said, ''this is too much honor,n the tears falling

dressed in plain hat, blue coat, and nan!seen
pantaloons; has most agreeable smile, which
he constantly INDUCES, and a pleasing. sort of
embarrassment, that seems to express, "Tell me
what can do to please you all; I am at a
loss to thank You" There was one incident,
though rough in its way, which must have g, a.
tilted him. When going down our beautiful
Common street, that faces the Mall, a rush was
made through the crowd by party of honest,
plain-spoken old fellows, who made their way
by force to his landeau and stopped his horses,
and would not let them pass until he shools hands
with the whole party, singing out at the same
tune, SLOW are you, my old boy" ssWelcome.

But the prettiest part OF the whole parade was

their teachers. They mustered about three
thousand, and | am told the General was parti-

The occasion; the numerous association of
! circumstances connected with it the opportu-
nifty of lailing the firm friend of our political in
fancy on the field, where nearly half a century

achievement of the most decisive and memorable
action OF our revolution, where CORVALLIS sur
rendered his sword to Washington, ard where

motives which render it peculiarly proper in us
to meet the surviving Hero who then led our
Fathers to victory.
Eliminated by these feelings, and fully sensible
that they equally ardent in the breasts of all
our brother officers, wcant!cipate full meeting.

DAMS OF Volunteer companies of your Regiment
