The MIL1TARY.-l esterday the first regiment OF
Virginia Volunteers made their usual fall parade
BY invitation OF the Young Guard Of this city the
City Guard OF Petersburg participated in the ex-
hiliarang display. The City Gu 3D. under the
command OF Captain Fields, arrived in an extra
train OF cars from Petersburg between the hours
OF 10 and IL, and were received and escorted by
the Young Guard. The Cockade boys made very
handsome appearance. TIE uniform size, gentle
many bearing, and neat Costume of the members
OF this company, attracted general attention and
elected merited commentator. We counted six.
ty-tcur men in their ranks After forming on Broad
ST eet, near the City Hall, the line was formed liz
marching order follows
Rishmond Light Dragons, Richmond Artillery,
Music, State Guard, City Guard of Petersburg,
Richmond Greys, Montgomery Guards, Caledonia
Guard, Light Infantry Blues, Young Gusrd Ger
man Rifles.
The day was very favorable one for the parade
aud we were considerably surprised on witnessing
81 unusual thinness in the ranks of our gallant Cit
Zen soldiery. We heard with sorrow of the caus
es that led to this depletion in the ranks of two
or three companies; but trust that time and
mutual concession will remove them 1t is als
IdCl that our volunteer c0mpanleS do not
meet with that encouragement from our citizens
generally, which their gratuitous and liberal civic
es so richly deserve. They the shield the pro
tection the strong arm OF the community in time Of
trouble and difficulty; and when peace and PROS
perIty prevail in our midst we should lavish upon
them substantial tokens of regard, and foster and
encourage that chivalrous spirit which gives life
and perpetuity to their organizations. When com.
panies from abroad visit our city, the burthen of
their entertainment should be borne in part by our
citizens, and not thrown entirely upon the compa
MES, who already devote so much of their attention
and means to pay for equipments, music, and the
necessary expenses, and TO make them competent
