brief special notice. 1t was the body OF lllusrious
veterans who have, on the land on the water,
through many a hard-fought day, sustained the
honor OF their country and its untarnished flag.
We could not but regard with profound feelings of
admiration and gratitude these war-worn veterans,
as they silently marched along the avenue, headed
by the tall and noble Chief who had so often led
them to victory, accompanying now the First Mag
strae OF the nation on the peaceful and suspicious

all their intermediate regions, to deliberate on the
common veal, and to enact laws for the common
government Of this vast and united Republic.

time as may be agreed upon.

brig Fanny, of and for Liverpool, from Mobile, who
reported having seen during her then passage, a
ship on fire, having about $50 souls on board.

lost with her. The fired ship, it appears, was
bound to Mobile.
