Pied, the Orleans Guard battalion, the
Esplanade Guards, the youthful Louisi-
ana Cadets, the Garibaldi Rifles, and
the German and other Companies,
wore out in full force, the whole pre-
senting the most splendid appearance,
as they rested on Canal from st
Charles to the levee. Gen. Tracy's
brigade rested on Canal from St.
Charles to Rampant, and made an
equally imposing display. The Wash
ington Artillery battalion, the CONT
mental Guards, Louisiana Greys, Chal-
mette Guards, Calhoun Guards, Sars-
field Rifles, DeSoto Rifles, Delta Rifles,
Southern Cadets, Second Company
Orleans Cadets, Bienville Guards,
Bienville Rifles, and other companies,
constituted this brigade. The Bien-
vile Guards, Bienville Rifles, and a
splendid looking body of men from
Algiers, Whose title we did not learn)
appeared in citizens dress, their
uniforms being not yet ready, though
they had their kepsis and guns. and
they were none the less admirable for
want of their uniforms. But for want
of their uniforms, numerous other new
companies would have been out, to
swell the already large and splendid
display. A Company in blue, from
Carr clifton, made an excellent show.
The cavalry, or mounted companies,
eight in all, -four companies heading
each division), also made a gay and
beautiful show-comprising. as they
did, many of the best and bravest citi-
zens of this city and parish, and of
Jefferson and St. Bernard parishes,
well mounted and elegantly equipped.
One of these companies was from
Plaquemines.
Had those companies which did not
turn out for want of uniforms, and the
twenty or thirty quartered and encamp-
ed companies about town, joined in the
review, it would have been about twice
as large. The country companies
especially would have given it more
length, breadth and solidity.
The Orleans and Washington Artil-
lery Battalions had each eight or ten
of their brass pieces along, each piece
attended by squad, and the rest of
the battalion marching as infantry.
These two battalions, and the Orleans
Guard Battalion, were the largest and
most splendid features of the turnout.
The Orleans Guard turned out no less
than 427 guns.
The battalions and companies being
ranged in line, the right to the river
and the left on Rampard street, the
review took place. His Excellency,
Governor Thomas O. Moore, attended
by Maj. Gen. John L. Lewis and the
usual full cortege of staff officers, rode
past and inspected the long line. the
companies pesented arms and the bands
playing as they passed. Many per-
sons amid the dense throng Of specta-
tors cheered the Governor as he pass
ed.
The review over, tho brigades form
ed in procession, and marched around
Canal street, up town to Julia street,
and as far down as Esplanade street.
The immense multitude focked to meet
tho procession and get a nearer view of
it as it wound its way through the city.
Between and } o'clock the march
ended, and the companies separated
ana proceeded to their respective al
mories.
The day, though Sunday,was rogu-
lar military gala-day, in which the
greater part of the population took
part, either as actors or spectators.
The combination in Louisiana is dis
persing' beautifully.
The Company alluded to by the Crescent
from Cnrroton the jefferson Light Guard,
