The MILITARY vIsIroRs.-The Seventh RsgI-
ment New York Volunteers, who, ~ our readers
are aware, recently accompanied to Richmond
the TeRains Of eI- President Monroe visited this
cttT to-day, on their return hour. They were
expected LCIe Yesterday, and every preparation
was made to receive them; bot, owing TO some
misrnaEagement on the part Of the pilot Of the
steamship which they used for The excursion,
they ran aground about 80 miles below W ashing-
ton, in the Potomac and remained there until two
Of our steamers. the ColIyer and Mount Vernon,
went down, and, taking them off, brought them
up to the city. The COllyer arrived here with
the Third, Sixth and Eighth companies of the
regiment about I2 O'Clock last evening, and this
morning about O'Clock the Mount Vernon
brought up the First, Second, Fourth, F ifth and
Seventh companies The companies were met at
the Kettle Bottoms, where their steamer ground
ed, NV Major Bacon, and l.ieu;enants Tucker
and Owens, OF the volunteer reginirntai staff OF
this city, who came up in the Mount Vernon with
I'll I'm this morning. .... ...r ..
The Third Sixth and Eighth companies, on
their arrival here, repaired immediate to their
quarters at the National Hotel and were Joined
there by the Second company this morning. TIE
First, Fourth, Fifth aud Seventh took up their
quarters at Browns Hotel, having marched
thither this morning on their arrival.
No public ceremony Of reception was given by
our citizen soldiers, as on The receipt of the
Intelligence that the visiteEs were aground, the
volunteer battalion and the marines, who had
patiently awaited their arrival at the Arsenal
from early yesterday morning till near O'Clock
In the afternoon, were dismissed, and subse-
quently no certain information TO the hour
they would arrive received in time to allow
OF the soldiery here being again called together.
The honor Of our volunteer corps was, however,
well taken care Of by the staff officers, and the
apparent delinquency OF the companies is readily
eICusable
The visitors express themselves highly salts
ned with their trip thus far, and but one really
unfortunate circumstance has occurred to
their pleasure. That one is, however, sad enough
TO cast gloom over them all, and will also fill
with grief some fond friends Of amiabe and
generally beloved member of the reg iment. We
allude TO the accidental drowning of private
Lawrence Hamilton, of Company 9th. This sad
misadventure occurred at Richmond, and II is
supposed that the deceased accidentally fell into
the river while getting board the stea mer
Glen Cove, which conveyed the company from
the wharf TO their own steamer, the Ericsson
His remains have been found, and are ordered to
- be sent To this city, where they will be taken
In charge By a committee, and conveyed to his
friends in New York We are told that the de-
erased Is grandson of the illustricus Alexander
Hamilton, of Revolutionary fame, being the son
of JnO. c. Hamilton, Esq of New York City.
