vious.
The dense crowd that thronged the principal
thorongtfsres from dark til snidn!ght, 6sd
not entirely dispersed at two O'Clock il the
morning, when the regiment marched up
Fourth street. The brave but unfortunate
coIps, with ranks thiDned from one thousand
to less than seven hundred men, proceeded to
Filth street market, Wherc substantial cola
tion had been spread, to Which, with appetIte
ksen}y whetted BY long fasting and exposure,
they did SIMPLE justice. Refreshed, they again
fell i1to ranks, and marched to the Little Nj
ami depot, Whence they were shipped at once
to Camp Dernieun. TIE regiment did not for
get to halt in front Of the Gibson House long
enough to express their heartfelt thanks to It's
ge1e1cus proprietora IN one Of their peculiar
eleers-" One, tTo, three, four, FIVE, six,
