PARADEs YESTERDAY Yesterday afternoon, the
X node Island Regiment paraded under command
OF 1ov. Sprague, making a most formidable show,
indeed. As they formed in front Of their head
quarters In line Of battle, their ranks reached
from the centre Of the Patent Office building In
+ street TO the corner of F and Tenth streets The
Held and staff officers Of the regiment were
mounted on tne, spirited horses. The regiment
marched through street TO fifteenth, and TO the
Executive Mansion, where they were received by
the President and Gen Scott in the presence Of
Secretaries Chase, Seward, Wenes, NJ. Blair,
Hon. F. p Blair, and other notables Governor
Sprague and his principal offers were introduced
at the appearance Of the regiment. So well was
he pleased with their robust Appearance and SOL
dierly demeanor that, after consultation with
Gen. Scott, he complied with Gov. Sprague's re-
troops here without delay. After the review the
regiment marched through Pennsylvania avenue
back to their quarters
The Fifth Massachusetts Regiment paraded
through the streets Of the northern and western
part Of the city In full uniform, and making a
creditable show. The Fifth Is composed Of AZ
fDe looking material as any body Of soldiers
here, though they seem to be behind the Sixth
from that State, In the school Of the soldier. A
want Of uniformity In their uniforms, detracts
also from their appearance on parade.
The Metropolitan Rifles, Capt. Nalley, paraded
through Pennsylvania avenue yesterday after
noon with full company, presenting the ap-
pearance Of thorough-going discipline. The

and In marching since we last saw them maneuv-
ering through the streets.
