About7 O'Clock the Richmond drays had

down for them by their escort. and the Entaw
| House was reached by way of Eutaw street.
| The arms were stacked on the pavement in

passed into the hall, when the members were
/ dismissed for five minutes to arrange their dis
orderly toilets for breakfast. At the expiration
| of that time the roll Of the drum summoned

for the fatigue Of travel had sharpened the APP

moments were spent by the visitors in various
ways. Major Dimmock and John GrPme Jr
of the Richmond Whig, and several others OF
the excursionists, visited the house of engine
No. !, accompanied by John T. Ford Esq and
Capt. w. ID. Brown. Much in nterest was mani

Baltimore street, and to the President street

THE PREPARATIONS IN NEW YORK
During Saturday, the flags were flying from
the public buildings and hotels of New York,
in anticipation of the arrival of the Grays.-
From the Herald we take the following:
According to the arrangements of the Seventh
regiment, whose guests the Grays are, the first
division of the Seventh, comprising the Fourth
| company, Capt. Ribiett, and the Eighth COM
pany, Lieut.. Wicksted commanding, were as
signed the duty of receiving the guests on
their arrival. The detachment formed on
Washington parade ground, in full uniform,
gray trowsers, without knapsacks, at p. M :.
mastering one hundred and forty muskets.-
Quartermaster Winchester was the only staff
officer present. Lieut. Lebeneau was acting
| adiutant.
| The detachment was accompanied by the
| Reginental Band of 35 pieces, and the Ma
| tional Guard troop numbering twenty-eight
| men, under command OF Captain Perley-
Brevet Colonel Shumway being in command
of the entire force.
way to the Park, where the committee Of the
Common Council was received, and continued
to the Jersey City ferry, which was crossed
about 6h p. M. ~
Deputy Superintendent Carpenter. with a
large body of patromen and a detective force
was on hand to preserve order and to keep
watch on the hordes of light-fngered gentry
who have decided procliyity for the vicinity
of crowds.
Arrived at Jersey City, the Seventh was
drawn up in line on Montgomery street near
the ferry, and awaited at first patiently the
arrival of the expected visitors. As the min
utes grew into hours, however, the waiting
became somewhat tiresome, and the time was
passed as agreeably as possible, practicing the
famous Richmond cheers of the claps Of the
hands, and boo hoo hoo-ah, and getting up
an occasional cry of "Here they are,'' as way
train came in or went ont from the depot.
ARRIVAL OF THE GRAYs.
At last the long xpected PHILADELPHIA train
hove in sight, and forthwith the Committee OF
the Common Council the Colonel, and Lieut.
Colonel of the Seventh, the Captains, and n
few other privileged charac ters, were admitted
inside the depot, and, after one false alarm on
the arrival of q Newark train, the genuine
bona fide train was recognized, and, as the first
uniform of the Richmond Grays was visible
the spacious depot responded with vociferous
cheers. FE@a #
After rather an unceremonious crush and
jam, Captain Elliott of the Grays was found
and introduced to Col. Lefferts Brevet Col
Shumway, commanding, Alderman Adams,
mon Council, and number of the Captains
of the Seventh, who were present in citizens'
dress.
Capt. Elliott, after being cordially greeted.
stated that he was sorry to inform them that
the Mayor and Common Council of Richmond
had not come with them. Mayor Mayo of
Richmond would, however, arrive on Mon
day. On behalf OF himself and company, ex-
hausted by tedious journey, he requested
that the ceremonies OF reception should be AZ
brief as possible, in order that they might re-
cruit for the festivities to come.
Alderman Adams welcomed the Grays to the
city on behalf Of the Common Council.
Col. Leferts introduced Brevet Col. Shum-
way, who informed Capt Elliott that all that
would be done would be to escort the Grays
Immediately to. their quarters. He also in
formed him that arrangements had been made
for the guests to attend st. Johns church to-
day, and that Bishop Weston, of Texas, the
chaplain OF the regiment, would preach.
Quartermaster Winchester was awarded the
honor of escorting the guests through the cere-
monies of the reception, and the gentlemen of
the Common Council having taken their leave,
The Grays fell In, and marched ont of the de-
pot and up Montgomery street.
THE sEv ENTH REGIMENT GETS MOLD OF THEM
Meanwhile the Seventh regiment detach.
ment outside had formed to the rear open or
der and was awaiting impatiently the forth
coming Of the drays. As the latter emerged
from the depot they were greeted with one
long, loud, yociferous, terrific cheer, which
made the streets of the Jerseys echo as probu.

But this was tame in comparison to the re-
yerberating plaudits of every description
which commingled with the roll of the drums

Cheer followed cheer-done up like oysters in
every style with ttigers" and without; with
Richmond boo-hoo, hoo COS and without; with
hurrahs with halloas, with the rattling of

and such rush and jam as delied the orders
