TIDINGs OF TIE CITY GUARD.

Manchester, N. H., August %, 1859.
The Guard arrived here all well, at about 81
o'clock this morning. Since the battalion left Bal
tmore it has been received at every stopping place
with hearty kindness. At Chester, on the Phila-
delphia and Wilmington Railroad, delegation
from the West Philadelphia Grays, Capt. Ecken-
dorff, came on board the cars with kegs of lager
and baskets of sandwiches, which we're duly appro-
priated. From the depot in Philadelphia, where
they were met by a party of the Washington
Grays, omnibusses conveyed tie Guards to the boat
at Walnut street wharf, and sandwiches and drink
ables were again discussed. At Jersey City they
were enthusiastically received by detachment
from the rational Guard, Capt. Monroe comm and
ing, and after landing in New 7 ork were escorted
to the Stevens House. where an elegant collation.
awaited them. During the march from the ferry
landing the Guard was frequently and heartily APP
plauded by the crowds on the sidewalk After a
short time spent at the Stevens House in the offices
of good fellowship, the column marched to the boat,
and the Guard went on board, and the boat left her
wharf, while hearty cheers were exchanged be-
tween those on board and those on shore.
The boat arrived at Allen Point at about 2
O'Clock, Tuesday morning, and the party took the
cars Tor Worcester, and at Worcester took the rail
road Tor Manchester. At Nassau, a number of the
Amoskeag Veterans met them and accompanied
them to Manchester, where the battalion of Veter-
ans, Major White, commanding, received them.
The whole population of the CITY, male and female.
seemed to have turned out. Cannon were fired
the crowd cheered, and there was a grand time
generally. The Veterans escorted the Guard to
the City Hall, where tables had been spread and an
hour two were pleasantly passed in renewing old
aequaintanceships and forming new ones The COL
umn was reformed, and, after marching through
the principal streets, halted at the City Hotel the
Guards quarters, where both battalons were dis
missed for dinner. After dinner, the members of
the Veterans took the Guards in charge A large
party went to Hill Pond, about three miles from
town, and passed the afternoon and others went
through the factories or went to see the new steam
fire engine throw. At night, Major Whittle, Mr..
Harrington, the Mayor of the city, and Quartermas-
ter Haynes all of the Veterans, were serenaded by
the Blues Band, and at each house there was the
biggest kind of time. The reception altogether
has been the heartiest imaginable, and everything
that kindness and goodlfeilowship could suggest,
has been DONE Tomorrow the Veterans take the
Guards to Concord, the capital of the State where
there will be parade, and review by the Cover
nor, after which the whole party GO to Lake Win
nepisankee. Thus far the trip has been one of un-
alleged pleasure-all are we'll and all delighted.
