At half past nine o'clock, the Gen. oom-
handing, attended BY his STAFF officers, left
ais headquartefs, escorted by column Of
eighteen hundred regular cavalry. The ar
ray was most imposing as this splendid COR
tsge moved through the streets, the cavalry
marching BY pIatoons until it reached the
bridge, whore it was compelled to march
BY column OF fours, and afterwards dsfled
along the road leading by Arlington Heights
TO the review ground Gen. Mcclellan was

Carriages, horsemen, and foetmsn, were
IN abundance. The police arrangements
were admirable. Thorough prepsrstions
were made to meet any advance Of the enc

cts were doubled, and one brigade Of No
Calls, and one brigade of Heintzelnan's,
were posted at each flank, in support. Sew

The scene from Munson's Hill, when the
various divisions were in Line. was msgnif-
cent, stretched out as il was, for four miles,
covering hills aud beautiful plsteaus.
1t is declared by officers long used to for
eign service, that few demonstrations In Eu-
rope haresexeeeded this in precision, regu-
larity, and evidence OF the rapid soldierly
development. The feat of maneuyerinr for
the first time &C, 900 troops With success and
perfect exactness is no ordinary achieve
ment, and one for which Gen. Mcdowell,
upon whom the organization Of the forces
devolved, is receiving applause. = ~
The enthusiasm of the troops was remerk-
able. When the General passed them In re-
view their huzza? filed the field. In their
movements in passing in review there was
liveiness and activity that marked the SOL
der. The common expression among old
army officers was, "The regulars must look
to their laurels;', and one of the best dis
ciplinssIans in the army observed, :. The
only thing ins which regulars could excel
these volunteers is, that they would turn
their toes ont little more IN marching"
Another said, . Il these fellows will Sight
as we'll as they march in review, the world
can't whip them" 1t will perhaps be found
that the men who we're there to-day can
fight infinitely better than they cen either
march or drill. They have volunteered to
fight; the drill and discipline is merely In.

It was . day Of compliments, and none
were complimented more than Gen. Barry,
for the appearance Of his artillery, Of which
he is chief. II was perfectly regular, and
the incest discrimination was necessary to
decide between the regulars and volunteers.
One Of the most Interesting features Of
the day to many was the martial music,
which Was most eloquenily disooursed by
more than City bands, most Of which were
Of the first order. In two or three instan-
Ses the DAuUs oL tu6 HnOl6 DElSa4S6 were

The whole review Was admirably condus-

view, for the promptness with which his vsst
column was moved There was hardly an
interuission. of two minutes between the
