halt space enough to detail the extraordinary dongs
OF that day. OF the military could scarcely find
room to say a syllable; nevertheless, we were not
idle spectators Of their proceedings As usual there
was an immense number Of sensible and sober men
amongst them, and not few that any thing but
sober and sensible amongst them. But the richest
scene took place after the review. Major General
Sanford, Major General Lloyd, Brgadier General
George r. Morris, and about 30 40 Others adjourn

The Major General, in reply, said he felt very
deeply-the kind remarks-of the worthy Major

hero Of the epaulettes commenced another harrangue,
but was perverted by all sorts of shouts, laughter
and cries from the various staff officers. After the
Major General had been brought to, il voted to
accept the invitation, and accordingly "to horse, TO

tiers. The reason way we may state some other
