Departure Of ne Nssc York Fwese~- Ir~ids~ts Of
aeis Tyip-PyessnA TO the Company
Amer closing my letter yesterday morning, pro-
cecded TO the cars 10 witness the departure Of the
New York fremen. They accompanied 70
the depot by the United, the Friendship, and large
delegations nom other companies, whiIs lssee
body Of citizens, numbering several thousand, bad
also assembled to bid them adeu. Almost every
man was armed with bouquet or encircled with
wreath OF flowers, presented by the ladies, whilst
they also carried in their arms various Temens-
bnnces from their Baltimore friends. They lad
scarcely finished their breakfast with the United,
when the hour Of departure arrived but the Presi
dent, General Miltenberger, ordered bottle Of
champaign deposited in the pockets Of each Of their
| guests, the nozzes of which, with their silver
heads, could be seen pretrudng as the cars moved

| men and the Baltimore ladies'. They captured, in
the vicinity OF the depot, the Mayor of the city,
several OF the officers of the different fire eomra-
nes reporter OF the Sl", and others, and all that
could not give satisfactory excuses, were carried
off towards Philadelphia. The Mayor escaped by
pleading official duties, and the reporter by his
inventive genius, asserting that he had terrible
murder in hand, and that his colleague was
sick with the govt.
Their apparatus was sent to Philadelphia by the
Friendship on the previous evening, whilst they
were in Washington, thus saving them considerable
trouble. About forty of our frcmen accompanied
them to Philadelphia, intending to return Tomorrow
morning.
Dingle's band has been much admired, having
proved themselves, during their stay here, to be
both gentlemen and musicians They struck mp,

Of the Watchman Company, presented them with

In conclusion, will again repeat, that no body OF
men civil, military, or fremcn, have ever visited

| the whole community as the members OF The

been introduced into the private families OF our

been kept on one continued round OF public enter

| served.
