companies of the 9TH regiment of New York volunteers
arrived up from the Ericsson which they left aground
about eighty miles below this city AS soon as the drum
could be heard disappointed citizens who were out
In large numbers became all expectation and were seen
hung from every direction to the corners of the streets
and other points from which view Of the approaching
visitors might be expected to be obtained When they
at length became visible, 1t brilliant sight AZ they
advanced with the firm and steady tread for which they
are so distinguished. On reaching the National and
Browns Hotel at which places they had been quartered
they drawn up into line and afterwards filed in the
ranks were broken and they assured by the worthy
PROJECTORS that they should have every accommodation
in their power to bestow upon them.
As might naturally be expected they exceedingly
worn out with fatigue consequent upon their long pas
from Richmond and the scarcity of proyisionsnot
having expected to be 80 long in making the trip How
ever, like true soldiers, they have made no complaints
but with great ortude have put up with whatever hard
ships crossed their way They represented their deten
ton by the grounding Of the Ericsson not so irksome
might have been expected They amused themselves
in various waysby chatting together and in the pleas
ing recollection of their reception and entertainment at
Richmond At daylight this morning the remaining
companies arrived in the steamer Mount Vernon the Coll
yer not having been able to bring them all up on the
first trip They accompanied by their band which
numbers forty-dve pieces, and nineteen drummers
The only circumstance that has occurred to mar the
pleasure of their trip thus far the accidental death
by drowning of private Lawrence Hamilton of the 9th
company which melancholy event occurred at Richmond
The officers and prvates, learning the sad inteli
gence expressed great and regret for the deceased
was beloved by them all Mr.. Hamilton was grand
son of Alexander Hamilton and second cousin of Hon
John Cochrane, of New York, the orator of the day
Various in circulation to the of his
DEATH and it is not known certainly how that event &C.
Cured but it is supposed that the occasion of the
parting banquet, which served up board of the
two steamers dashed together in passing from one Of the
steamers to the other the deceased fell from the plank
and the not noticed by any on board
When he missed it supposed that he had been
detained shore by Of his hosts in Richmond and
would return home by railroad. His remains were re-
covered and have been sent to New York by the steamer
