CITY INTELLIGENCE.

volunteered their services to their country, Ia
aid in prosecuting the war against Mexico, pa
raded through the city yesterday afternoon I'M
der their respective captains Stewart, Piper,
and Steiner. They are as fine body of men
as we ever have seen together, and showed
conclusively that they were made Of the right
sort of mettle to make the best of soldiers, such
as any officer might be proud to lead; and who,
unless we,are greatly mistaken, should an OPP
portunity offer before the war is ended, will
prove that we are not wrong in our opinion
of their courage and bravery. They numbered
about 800 men, and were accompanied by a
fine band of music, whose martial strains fell
upon the ear, diffusing a military spirit in all
who heard and saw the gallant band, many Of
whom wished that it was their lot to accompa-
NY them to their destination. Every window
was filed and the sidewalks crowded through
the streets in which they passed, and many a
fcryent prayer was breathed for their safety and
return when the rude blasts of war shall have
been hushed, and the flag of our country waves
in triumph over our foes. A dense mass oil
persons accompanied them through the city,
Notwithstanding the excessive heat of the sun,
and when they arrived at the outer Depot in
Pratt ST., the whole space was 6llcd with our
citizens, and the friends, relatives, and acquain-
tances Of the Volunteers. At O'Clock they
took their seats in special train of cars provid-
ed for them, s. started from the depot amid the
deafening cheers OF the immense crowd assem-
bled, which they returned with hearty good
bye, as they sped on their way to the Ca
pitol Of the Nation, where they will be imme-
diately provided with every necessary arm,
dress and accoutre nent, at the expense Of the
U. States. We learn that it is intended to des-
patch the District Brigade, Col. Sangster, to
the seat Of war las soon as the necessary arrange
ments can be made, which will occupy but a
few days. Success and safe roturn to this
gallant band is our most sincere wish.
Ho! for the VARS We learn that the Ger
man Volunteers now number about so able-bo-
died men, and are very DESTROYS of being sent
to the seat Of war. They have been enamped
for several days, in the extreme eastern SUI
burbs of the city, and fot the want of tents,
have formed for themselves sort of primsval
substitute, made of twigs and green bushes.
presenting unique and singular appearance.
They are men capable of enduring all the Sc
we're vicissItudes of campaign, and we sincere
ly hope that the Government will accept of
their services
