Battalion, de-, &C.
The march through the town Of Concord and It's beaut
full precincts off, per programme yesterday af
ternoon. The troops, in marching order, numbered
s. O00 and were led by the Commander in Chief Along
the route-seven mortal dusty mes-thousands of spec
tators greeted the sdery they passed. and in many
places entabatures bearing pertinent inscriptions, were
displayed Near the monument In Concord, on the an
cent battle field the column ordered to halt and
request the Commander that the shaft should be
luted with cheers responded 10 by all the troops
cept Major Poores battalion Of savages The Governors
request conveyed to the Major TO cheer The Major
overhauled his Winfield" and couldn't find it in the
guations He therefore ordered his corps to keep quiet
and squat"-and they squatted. 1t a very silly
manouvre and Major Poore will obtain the credit of
ecutng movement hitherto unknown in military tactics
and ridiculous as it out of place. With this
exception the march was in every way successful,
creditable to the Commandcrn Chief and to the large
body Of troops under his charge. The co returned to
camp about O'Clock p NJ having occupied some three
hours in the march, That the troops not much dis
tressed evident from the alacry with which they
ecued the knife and fork drill returning TO quarters
During the night the usual camp occurred. The
roughs overawed by the presence Of the police
tecye and protective under Deputy Chief Ham, and re-
manned very docie. The sporting gentry did bust
ness but nothing to warrant notices. and if except the
Introduction Of style Of negro minsresy for the pur
pose inducing strangers to witness the beauties Of the
" roette" tables just wine vendors get up lunch Of
boiled clans to attract CUSTOM there was nothing that
line different from other musters The inhabitants Of Con-
cord expected to be with villains during the
tAnpfnen but the town was not more orderly in cattle
showtmes than now The etament Of an extra police
force to guard the maiden ladies' and young
deemed unnecessary after the first night and Sheriff Keyes
has taken the responsibility of leaving the femnines pro-
tect themselves and withdrawn his forces and assigned
other duties for them.
This morning the troops underwent drill by compa.
nes, battalions and regiments. The Second regiment
morning display The National Iancers Captain Kenny
out with the lark numbering 127 strong This is the
greatest display the Lncers ever made and their friends
in New York will be glad to learn that the corps so
handsomely thriving The exertions Of their ndefagable
commander deserve such reward
Major Rogers battalion Of infantry do not appear To be
in good spirits to-day They fine corps, and won't
do for them to allow their spirits TO droop Their uniform
is too costly
Some people have been cruel enough to intimate that
this encampmen is political manoeuvre on the part Of
Gov. Banks; but sufficient answer to such calumny Is
found in sentence contained in his Excelencys general
order No g. just issued, to w-that sthe encampment
ordered for the especial benefit Of the troops Brgadier
General Butler who is the forechosen candidate Of the
democracy for Governor need therefore, labor under
no apprehensions in regard to the ultra military aspect
his rival has assumed.
