Owing to the short time between TIT
closing exercises of Thursday and th'
issue of the Register, we were unable tt
make any report of the proceedings OF TIT
2nG and deferred il until this week.
The heavy rain on Wednesday nigh
threw dnmper on our feelings as well q:
culinary arrangements, but Thursday
morning found the whole town alive witt
excitement, and the streets filled viii
carriages AMI horsemen. The day was
very suspicious, not cloud appearing tc
hide The sun. The roll Of the drum an
nounced the mastering OF the Hamtramck
Guards for escort duty. About O'Clock
lie WllIiamsport (Md.,) Guards, Capt
E. G. w. Herr, were escorted to town
: from the Mary land side, and a little later
the Cumberland Conlinental>, Capt. Hor.
ace Resley, and the Jen,r >on Guards

ii o'clock the Battalion formed under the
command Of Capt. V. NJ Butler, Chief
Marshal, assisted by Messrs. Albert

posile the Hotel Of Mr.. Jnseph Enter

ami after recess IF Is minutes the Salu-
ta,ory Address was pronounced bv A. r..
Boteler, ESQ. Nh. Boleler's welcoming
speech was listened TO with marked at
,en,ion and elected much applause. Rare
" have we heard from this accomplished
orator and gentleman remarks more felic.
,ous Than on this occasion. His ullusion
to the sacredness of the spot, i, having
been the rendezvous Of Hugh Stevenson
and his .triol band, previous to their
march To Boston to join Washington, was
verv happv. Mr.. BIS rich fund of hstor-
cal lore, renders him peculiarly accepta.
