dered them.
1t had been arranged that the Regiment should
leave Philadelphia on Tuesday night ahead of the
mail train, and arrive in Baltimore at o. clock on
Wednesday morning. Although this not an
hour for military display still the Baltimore City
Guard concluded that they would proceed to the
depot and give the Newly orkers hearty welcome
At the above hour the Guard marched to the de-
pot, carrying any quantity of rockets, Roman can
dies, and other fireworks.
detachment of the Eagle Artillery Company,
under Sergeant Calder, were also present with a
ield-piece
An accident occurred at Havre de Grace, which
detained the train until O'Clock, at which hour
the sound of cannon announced the approach of the
cars and in few minutes the National Guard
were swarming into the avenues around the depot.
The men appeared to be in the best of spirits,
and after all had alighted, the order was given
for the companies to form, which was promptly
done
Major Warner then sought an interview with
Col Le1erts, welcomed him and his command to
Baltimore, and rendered his Battalion as an escort.
Col Leferts returned his acknowledgements in a
few words, and it was decided that no ceremonies
should be gone through with, but that the line
should be formed at once, and the march taken up
for the Washington train.
In very short time, the line was formed and the
National Guard, preceded by the Battalion Balti.
more City Guard, were on the march.
They proceeded along High to Baltimore. to
Liberty, to German, to Eutaw and thence to the
Camden station. AS the National Guard passed up
Baltimore street they attracted much attention
and received many encomiums for their steady
marching and sodier-like bearing.
The whole number of members of the National
Guard, who left New York, and passed through to
Washington yesterday, amounted to $50, out oil
500 who compose the Regiment. They wore a uni
form coat and cap, with over-coat, gray pants and
cross belts, fatigue cap suspended from the button
of the over-coat. A knapsack containing a change
OF under-c clothing, extra pair of boots stockings
fatigue jackets, shoulder knots, body belt, percus
sion tape and material for cleaning equipments
The officers wear fatigue coats, with the fatigue
cap suspended from the button of the oyer-coat
Upon arriving at the Camden Street depot, a
train of twenty three was in waiting, which
were soon filled, and it was found necessary to add
three more, which made train of twenty-six pas
Senger cars Every thing being in readiness, the
train left for Washington at $50, but did not ar
rive there until twelve o'clock owing to a large
rock having rolled upon the track, at the deep cut
near the Relay House, which caused detention OF
about one hour. The Baltimore City Guard had
provided bountiiully of refreshments which was
distributed to the National Guard in the cars and
which were no doubt very acceptable, as the delay
on the Philadelphia road prevented any of the
members from getting breakfast.
The Seventh Regiment will return tomorrow
evening, and go directly through this city.
