ONNOutI on.
The principal subject Of conversation so
far this week, has been the Naval expedition
just concentrated at Fortress Monroe. Visit
ors, who have witnessed it, say it is a superb
sight, especially evenings when the various
ships are lighted up. We would that the
harbor reached up to this city, that we, too,
might have "look." But we have had a
clever substitute though, in the form Of a
military review" on the usual plot east of the
Capitol, by General Mcclellan. 1t came of
on Monday, and about twelve thousand were
Paraded, made up Of regiments in that section
of the city. The day was beautiful, and IL
thousand bayonets under glittering sun told
/ well on the large number of ladies' and gent
lemen who were out to see them. Otherwise
we have no news Of much interest, nor do |
ind any IN the morning papers worth mon
tioning The army remains entirely quiet,
and our weather is most lovely. C.
