aided in their hospitable purpose by about 40
members of the Maryland Guards, under COM
mand of Capt. Charles B. Key splendid looking
man and officer all wearing their pretty fatigue
caps. The two corps upon the arrival Of the train
and debarkaon of the visitors. greeted them with
hearty cheering, and the waving Of caps which
were al heartily responded to by the Seventh
fine gentlemanly set of fellows In appearance and
department. The line was about being formed
when 1t was discovered that six of the cars con-
tanning about 200 members of the Regiment had
been accidently detached some four or five miles
In the rear. The engine was immediately dis

"MERcuRY's" TnEFrs.-We take the follow
Ing from the Baltimore Sun of this morning:
sThe editor Of the Washington Star is under
stood to be absent from his post at times There
fore the insoience and untruthfulnPss INDUCED by
vulgar young 'uns in his employ who take ad-
vantage of such occasions, is of course beneath
notice. MERCURY
The editor of the Star has to say that he sympa-
thizes fully in the ind gnaton of his assistants at
the system of sometimes petty and at other whole
sale literary theft at the Stars expense which for
years past has characterized Mercury's correspon-
dence published in the Sun. The worst feature
In the business is the fact that Mercury. though
thus daily stealing the result of The labor of the
gentlemen employed upon the Star, makes pre-
tensions to exalted church membership; anom-
ally utterly incompatible with common honesty.
In the case in point-his theft Of the Stars synop-
sis OF the Grafton Of Mr. Bocock-Mercury stole 1t

had he sneaked into the Star Office and stolen
hundred dollars out Of its iron safe-au act not
more reprehensible than that under the correction

must always be absent from his post, there being
no other rational way Of accounting for the license
