they had no written order or pass from head
quarters.
Thus they stood, till the staff officer, who had
escorted the Cadets in, came galoping round, and
ordered the guard to let the company pass. The
Sergeant of the guard, very polite and yet quite
grim, informed him that his orders were not to al
low any troops to leave camp.
The staff officer told him that he belonged to
General Tracy's staff, and had taken the Cadets in
by authority, as visitors he added to the Sergeant
They are only visitors, and you can see that"
The Sergeant polite and grim as ever, responded,
don't know you, sir. My orders are not to let
any troops leave camp, Give me written order
from headquarters, and Til let the company pass"
And the staff officer galloped off to headquarters
and the Cadets stood there, with the bayonets Of
the grim picket guard crossed before them, till the
officer got back with the necessary order from
Gen. Tracy. 1t was an amusing thing to the ont
siders who witnessed it; it might have annoyed
the Cadets little; but the picket guard recog-
nzed them as troops, and stoodupon the strict let
ter of their orders.

AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.

Yesterday afternoon, the Rev. DR.. Palmer, of the
First Presbyterian Church, preached to the troops
at Camp Walker, on the Metairie Race Course.
Due notice having been circulated, the soldiers
and the visiting multitudes assembled in large
and dense mass in front of the race-stand, from
which the reverend gentleman spoke. All listened
with the prcfoundest attention. and all were deeply
impressed.
All the town remembers what DR.. Palmer's
Thanksgiving address was. We have only to say
that his address to the soldiers yesterday was
more patriotic and thrilling in its tone. Without
departing in the least from his sphere as minister
OF the Gospel he yet so shaped his discourse as to
make it bear directly upon the present warlike
troubles of the country, and to thrill the veins and
to harden still more the sinews of the brave and
deathdefying field of patriots before him.
1t was the event of the day at the camp, and
was the talk all over camp up to the time of our
leaving, late in the evening.
