The Company now adjourned from the table.
After a march of both corps, and their compa-
mons. through the town of Manchester, they re-
turned TO The CITY, ha wing been met on The bridge
by the Manchester Troop, Capt. Wesiger, and
on Main Street BY the City Troop Captain
Worth; the latter of whom accompanied Them
to the Capitol Square. There, al shutdown, the
usual salute was fired by Dragons, Infantry, and
Artillery. On their way thilher, the Annexation
OF Texas was announced to the Officer of the
Day; and as in their salute al noon, the Artillery
had numbered the stars in The armament OF the
Union, so now, by one separate, distinct, ringing
gun, they welcomed The new planet into its new
orb glory. May the influence of all and each
be, 10 give gadness TO the heart of man.
