grand barbecue, a whole OK, ana NUMBER OF
sheep having been roasted in the woods, near
/ Stuart's hotel, of which all partook, every 9TH
er necessary being also supplied in an album
dance. Some thousands of ladies' and gentle
men visited the ground during the day, but
nothing occurred that we have learned to cause
a feeling of regret on the part Of either soldiers
or citizens Towards shutdown many of the
companies exercised in their several arms in
| the old race course ground, much to the graft
| fcation of those who were present, their evolu'
tions and drilling being highly creditable to
both officers and men.
AT dusk the regiments were again formed in
to line, and returned TO the city, all pleased
| with the celebration, and honorS done the day,
and its survivors The heat during the middle
of the day was very excessive, and the road
very dusty and dsogreeable, which caused
some few of the military to give out, but al,
I though overcome none suffered any serious de-
trment or injury, and were enabled to rejoin
their companies before they returned.
Taking it all together it certainly was the
most splendid display of military we have had
for great many years, and was worthy OF pa
triotic Baltimoreans, and we trust that the day
is not far distant when we shall have another
turn out, far superior to this, in the numbers Of
both men and companies. In conclusion, we
zen sod ers of the "Monumental City"
The FISHING Fremen. The Columbia Hose
Company, Of Philadelphia, now on visit to
our city, partook of supper on Saturday night,
at StockbIdge's Elotel, on invitation Of the Me-
chanical Fire Company. The entertainment
was Of the most sumptuous character, and re-
/ fected much credit upon the worthy host and
the committee of arrangements. The members
! q L., tod thn Ianr
on the 18th. They proceeded in body to
CAROLS woods, and were entertained at the
several tents of the military. They were ac-
companied by their fine band, which discoursed
most eloquent music upon the occasion. They
i'll leave for Philadelphia in the regular train
of cars on Tuesday morning. They attended
the Unversalist church yesterday morning, on
invitation of the Rev. Mr.. Shrigy. We have
not been informed of their movements for to-
day.
The Philadelphia Troop. This beautiful COM
pany, under command Of captain Bennington,
participated in the parade on the l2th. They
attended the Rev. DIR. Morris English Luther
an Church yesterday morning on invitation of
the pastor. They are expected to !eave for
home in the O'Clock train Of cars this morn
ing.
The Laurel Troop. Col. Capron's troops from
Laurel Factory after participating in the pa
rade on the 18th, left for their homes on Sa-
turday evening. We have heard of but one
opinion expressed, which is, that they were the
handsomest company in the line. The officers
of our city companies, we learn, intend sur
prising them very shortly by handsome COM
pliment. We are not at liberty at this time TO
say more upon the subject.
Washington University. We stated on Sat
urday that Prof BaxIey had resigned his chair
in this University. We have since LEANED
that DR.. VIM. T.. Leonard, Professor of OBJ
stetrics and Medical Jurisprudence, has been
chosen to fill the vacant Anatomical chair of
DR.. Bailey; and DR.. VIM. II. Stokes has been
elected Professor Of Obstetrics, SC, in the
place of DIR. Leonard, transferred. The faculty
is now complete. The above appointments
will no doubt give great satisfaction, and the
whole faculty will now compare with that OF
any other University in the country.

was conveyed to his home in North street, and
is in fair way of recovery.

believe, Of serious nature.
