the birthday Of Washington We consider the voluntary
movement commeadable the part OF citizen sol
ders TO celebrate the anniversary Of the birthday of him
who was first in war first in peace and first in the
hearts Of his countrymen but II seems TO US the hve
regiments which win parade that day would appear
10 decidedly more advantage they to make
iaied parade under the command Of the senior colonel
Of the egments present. or will suggest under the
command Of Colonel Duryee Of the Seventh regiment
Our citizens would by this have a good
opportunity to SEQ all the troops 70 good
advantage, without the loss Of time that
would be incurred in visiting the several
regirnenal parade grounds One thing we will work. for
II consolidated parade shall be made, and the command
given to COL Duryea the division thus formed will not be
seven hours forming line Ia frequently tho with
our old fogy Japanese generals.
