ceIved at the wharf, on Fell's Point, by the
Friendship Fire Company, whose special guests
they are, and Populations from the United,
Washington and Howard Fire Companies
The AnaCosta, under charge Of MIR. Jonas i.
Ellis, President, and Mr.. John +. Tucker,
Marshal, brought with them between thirty
and forty members, neat suction engine, and
Il fine band Of music, at the head of which we
recognised Capt. Hooper, Of the Navy Yard,
(to which yard the members of the company
are attached in various mechanical branches, }
But the great centre OF attraction, and de-
se7vcdly so, was the pioneer, Thomas Goss,
personifyng, in dress, color, and general APP
pearance, the title Of their company: cana
s COSTA" renowned tribe Of Indians that IN
habited the eastern branch of the Potomac,
from whom the company takes its name. The
members are mostly young men, and quite inn
posing in their appearance. The Anacostla
under escort, (the Friendship also having
band of music were conducted through the
city, from one extreme to the other, receiving
the accustomed salutaton of the fremen, by
{ ringing of bells Having deposited their appa-
ratus at the engine house of the Friendship,
they were escorted to Mrs. Clouds restnurateur
corner of South and Water streets, where they
partOOll of a collation., having every thing at
tordGd calculated to refresh them after the ia
tgue of the march, sc. They then proceed
ed to their quarters, at the National Hotel,
(latG Whitman's,) where every thing was pro-
vided to make them comfortable. Agreeably
to invitation, the Anacostia, accompanied by a
deputation from the Friendship, repaired to
the engine house of the Omitted, - at 4 O'Clock,
to partake Of their hospitalites. A number of
guests were in attendance. The table displayed
a fine selection of the good things Of life, which
were most heartily partaken Of The President
of the United, Anthony Miltenberger, Esq sur
rounded by several presidents of other compan-
les and representatives of the press, "seemcd
perfectly at home" We cannot chronicle the
good things said and done, for want of space.
! The following sentiment, as Il leader, was pro-
posed by the President, and heartily responded
to: "The Anacostia Fire Company-Their
/ independent bearing is an evidence of their
being 'Vigiant' in their Mechanical operations,
faithful 'Wutchmen' on the ramparts of Co
lumbia' in preserving the Union involate and
independent i'll the enjoyment Of Liberty
may they ever be United in Friendship so
long as the name of Washington, Franklin,
| Lafayette, and Howard, shall be remember
ed or the 'Patapsco' yields its conservative elc-
ment. The words capitalized and quoted de-
slgnating all the fire companies in this city that
could be conveniently "wrung n:''-some good
ones omitted. We cannot refrain, however,
| from giving another sentiment, the offspring of
Col. Watson, president of the Columbia, whose
ready wit, for which he is proverbal kept the
table in roar :" 'The Anacostia fire company
of the Navy Yard, Washington: The creatures
of their constructive genius bid defiance to old
ocean, and with Ocean they subdue the more
terrible element, fire." Song, sentiment and re-
sponses followed IN quick succession, intcrspers-
ed with delightful music from members of the
celebrated "Marine Band" of Washington The
company retired at an early hour, to prepare
for a bali at night, given by the Friendship, in
the hall corner of Hanover and Lomba I'd SITS,
which was well attended and passed off most
delightfully."-. The visiting mpany partake of
a dinner, with the Friendship, at Logan Hall,

chanical at the Merchants Hotel, Charles ST.
