"THE LAW GREYs," BALTIMoRE.-A cores
pendent describes to us beautiful parade by
this company on Tuesday. They turned out
with lightweight muskets, six officers, and q
fine band Of music. Professor Holland was
leader. Captain Richard France is the com
mander. The writer says:
"The Greys are making active preparation,
to honor your city with their presence on the
approaching 18th of September, and doubt not
they will be received and entertained in that
warm hearted spirit which characterizes the
volunteer soldiery and citizens of the City OF
Magnificent distan ces.'"
We can readily answer, that no doubt on this
subject need be entertained.

would be very great satisfaction to many Of
MS living in Washington to know when our
friends come to the city. Our friends frequently
come here and leave before we know Of their
having been here. 1t seems to me il might
easily be done, and it would certainly afford
much satisfaction to at least one CITIZEN.
The only inducement we have to offer is to
publish free of charge all such lists as we may
be favored with by twelve o'clock daily. The
United States hotel is the only that at present
accedes to these terms the others are equally
welcome.
