The Late I1sit of the Military 10 Baltimore
The non-reccptOn of the Boone Rifles and Mont
goInery Guards of this city, by the Baltimore mill
tay on their recent visit to Baltimore, being still
theme of much comment among the companies. We
will s.ate some of the facts in the matter. Both of
the companies landed in the Monumental city to-
gether, on the morning of the 18th, and found them
selves without an escort. Surprised at ts, some
talk was had of Immediately returning, but Col. j.
w. Turner and Col. VIM. NJ. Devoe persuaded them
10 remain, when they marched under their escort 10
the Battle Monument, where. after Il few svoutions
In the streets, they were invited, through Col Tur-
ner, to partake n collation., rendered by the
worthy proprictors of the City Hotel. Here they
were feasted, and, we may say, feaicd also with
genuine hospitality. The SharPshooterx, under
Captain Lilly. had been detailed the escort but
failed TO attend to that duty, owing to not having
enough for the purpose: and, besides that were
out OF service under the new law, not having elect
ed officers under the same. This IN unfortu-
nate selection by the Colonel of the Regiment
Col. Anderson; but he endca7ored TO repair the
difficulty by sending two officers, express TO
invite the visi,ers TO the encampment, then being
held the grounds Of the Agricultural Association
The invitation If rendered. was not accepted by the
Boone Rife company, which was soon after dis
missed, and the members taken hold of, cor
daily, by some of the citizens, prominently among
them being Jesse Reid, a reporter. On the 18th, he
conducted them to Milestone Point, or what is DOW
called Locust Point, where Mr.. James Cooper pre-
pared sumptuOus entertainment for them at hi,
splendid hotel on the place. After some other at
tentons, they returned to Washington in the after
noon, and quietly retired 70 their homes. The
Montgomery Guards, however, accepted the invita-
ton, aud marched to the encampment, where thev
spent few hours with great hilarity among their
brother soldiers. They then returned 10 the civ
and put up at the Virginia House, visited Col Devue
Col France, and at night partook of the liberal hos
pitality Of Welcome HILL where Col. Turner and
Others, including his estimatle Iady and daughters
did all that was possible 10 make them perfectly al
nome. Fireworks, music, dancing. singing speech
