The Young Guard, Of Richmond, Virginia,
who have been on visii to Baltimore, returned
to Washington yesterday morning, in the eleven
o'clock train of cars. They were received at the
station by the Washington Highlanders, and by
that company escorted 10 the Executive mansion,
where they were introduced to the President by
Major B. b. French. The President welcomed
them in brief but neat speech.
The Highlandsrs, after entertaining the guests
at their armoryr accompanied them on visit TO
the various public buildings and workshops.
During the afternoon, the hearts Of the Young
Guard were depressed in consequence of the re-
ception Of a Geographic dispatch from Baltimore,
informing them OF the death, in that city, Of one
Of their members, William Ogleby, Of consuinp.
ton. The sudden change of The weather and the
'Jaligue Of the journey Frustrated him, and pro-
duced the fatal result
The corpse arrived from Baltimore at O'Clock
last night, and was Immediately taken in charge
by the Young Guard and the. Hghlanders. The
coffin was covered with the national flag, and placed
in hearse drawn by two white horses; the pail
bearers comprising an equal number Of members
of both companies. With Allow and measured tired
and 10 the sounds Of funeral music by the Rich
mond band, and in the calm moonlight, the re
mains Of William ogleby were conveyed 10 tn,
southern boat, in which the Young Guard de
parted homewards, with all that is mortal Of thei
deceased comrade. Their soldier-hke appearance,
was much admired, and the music Of their bans
raised in the highest terms.

The Great Marble Statue


,5 OF
THE DYING GLADIATOR,
On erAi6ition at Morsison's Building, II street,
near Pennsyiani6 apenue, from 9 o'clock, A. M
hntill p. M daily.
Admittance IS cents.
GA STATUE of surprising merit Its power and
paihos are independent of time, place, and condi-
ton. The charm and power Of the statue con.
sists in the amazing truth with which the two
great elements of humanity and mortality are de-
lineated. The artist gives us all the pathos and
the tragedy of death without its ghastliness and
horror. We feel ourselves in the presence Of that
awful Power before whose icy scepire all mortal
distinctions are levelled Nostafue was ever more
marked by simplicity. Nothing has been done
the decency and dignity Of truth are scrupulously
observed" -HiliarTs Sta Months in haly.
"a wonderful production of art. Its simplicity
is such that ii does not strike at first the admra
ton comes afterward, and in a tide sufficiently
deep and strong. II is the moment of exhaustion,
ce mess, of death. Mrs. EHis.
as statue is indissolubly associated with
yrons immortal stanza:
see before me the Gladiator lie:
He leans upon bis hand-his manly brow
Consents to death, but conquers agony,
And his droopd head sinks gradually low
And through his side the last drops, -sssang
slow
From the red cash, fall heavy, one by one,
Like the FIRST of thunder. shower; and now
The arena swims around him-he il gone,
Ere ceased the inhuman- shout which hai'd the
wretch who won.
PC heurd Irss~,- heeaSa arn,--his ewes
Were with his heart, and that was far away;
He reck'd mol ofihe life he lost nor prize.
But where his rude hun by the Danube lay--
There were his young barbarians all at play,
There was their Dacian mother-he their sire,
Butcher'd TO make Roman holiday
All this rushd with his blood. Shall he expire,
And unavenged? Arise ye Cloths, and giut
your ire

Social Greetings.-To-morrow as heretofore
on the bright event of q new year, the Presidents
house will be open for the reception of the public
"without respect to persons" and, as in the time
past, we doubt not thousands of people, of both

10 pay their respects to the President, and TO inter
change the courtesies Of the season.
+ The foreign ministers usually call on tho Pres
ileni about eleven O'Clock in the morning and,
at noon, the doors are thrown open to the sove-
reigns." Justices of the Supreme Court OF the
United States, members of the Cabinet, heads OF
bureaus, Senators and Representatives, and Off
GERS the army and navy, are always among the
promenading throng; while the marine band dis
course their choicest music 10 enliven the joyous
scene.
Many private houses will be open for The re.
ception of those who may choose TO make New
Years calls" An opportunity is afforded, in many
cases, 10 test the quality of the wines and liquors
Of the entertainers.
The two Houses Of Congress have adjourned
until Tuesday, and no public business will be
transacted in the Departments. In fact, New
Years day is generally regarded as holiday in
this city; and fervent are the congratulations
among friends, and many the wishes for happiness
during the year upon which we are just on the

The Old Year and the New.-The truth that
this--the sabba,h--s the last day of 1854, natu.
rally causes the mind 10 revert 10 the past the
history OF which, assAerslofore, towards the close
OF year, is not only Of interest, but sugges-
live Of profound reelection.
Disasters by shipwreck, by railroad, and in a
thousand other ways, have been more frequent,
perhaps, than during any previous twelvemonth.
Afar of, across the wide waters, the terrible work
OF slaughter, by contending foes--professing TO be
animated by Christian principes--has enlarged
the dark catalogue Of death, writing the deeds OF
war in the crimson Of the slain Happily, we, as
people, have been undisturbed in our pursuits
ofpeace; developing new sources of wealth, com
fort, and intelligence, and drawing closer, il is
hoped, the bands Of confederation Union Of
abe States
Nationally prosperous free, and conscious OF
our might, fortunate, indeed, is our condition in
contrast with the other peoples of the earth May
we never abuse our political privileges, nor com
promit our freedom
Many who at this time last year were in the
midst of us--frienas and reatives--have been
called from the active scenes of life; thus sunder-
ing the strongest ties and dispensing gloom over
many a household, bot leaving TO the survivors
the comfort of a pterished memory concerning
the departed
!, Plans conceived, 1nd commenced, in business
and in the social reiStion, have, in repeated in
stances, failed ofconsummation, while others have
succeeded. Fortune does not come TO all alike.
Il 10 q wise provision of Providence that the AL
mighty withholds from us the wit to distinctly see
what lies in the future. But, let the disappointed
profit by the experience of the past, and not forget
its stern, but, in many instances, wholesome
teachings.
Though regretting many of the occurrences Of
the year now nearly ended the New Year-ls55--
will soon beam over the world, as if inviting US
10 "hope on, hope ever" and to pursue such a
course as will the better confer upon us happy
future, whether amid the busting scenes of life,
or within the precincts of "a heavenly home.
