CELEBRATION OF THE TWENTY FIFTHNovEMEER -
Never did day shine brighter-never was there a
purer alr-never was there more generous spirit of
universal hllarlty than yesterday. Every one seemed
to feel, and every thing seemed to exhibit the po-
ery of life. And yet there was one or two abate-
ments-the streets were horribly dirty, and the
fountains did not play. Some of the Aldermen en-
deavored to have the fountains set agong, but
Mr.. John B. Jarvis, the Chief Engineer, for good
and sufficient reasons, doubt not, did not see fit
TO allow the water to. play, observing that it would
be good thing for the city to practice little self
denial. We We're informed that although some re-
pairs are going on upon the water works. yet the
receiving reservoir is full and the distributing re-
servoir nearly so.
The military were out under General Sandford
and pursued the line of march which we have al
ready published. Some little delay was occasioned
in consequence of the non-arrival of Gen Bertrand
and suite. 1t appears that the General did not
know, until the morning of yesterday, that the
Iowa was to sail at l o'clock, although we had
published that fact in the Herald. When waited
upon, therefore, by the Mayor, he was busily en-
gagged packing up for departure He did, however,
Just before leaving, make flying visit to the City
Hall, long enough with his son, review the troops
in company with the Mayor and Common Council.
The Generals time did not allow him to remain
until the conclusion of the ceremonies and he
therefore left rather abruptly amid six enthusiastic
cheers from the multitude.
After the departure of General Bertrand, the next
thing in order was the presentation of stand of
colors to Col Stewards regiment, which was done
by the Mayor in the following address,
Coz. SrEwART-You and your command may be as

and individual rights.
To this Col. Stewart replied in a very handsome
and appropriate address, which really did hun
great credit.
After the presentation was through, the military
went up into the Superior Court Room, where
most ample provision was made for punch, crack
ers, and cheese. Here followed a scene of hilar-
ity which could be appreciated better in the eat
ing and drinking than il can in the description
Gen. Storms toasted the Mayor, and the Mayor
responded with The citizen soldier-hs intellect
devises our laws, and his vaor maintains them -
| Then followed various toasts, and songs by George
Washington Dixon, who sung the "Marseilleis
Hymn, the Star-Spangled Banner" ''March to
the Battlefield and some medieys. Alderman
Purdy gave The President of the United States -
The memory of Washington" was also drunk.
In the meantime, the Mayor, with the staff-offi-
GERS, went over, by invitation, TO the hospiable
dwelling of Gen Sandford, where they partook of
an elegant collation., and drank numerous toasts.-
All finally dispersed and the day passed off very
pleasantly.
