WAsHIEerox, July s. It is certain
that after the discharge of the three
months men there will still be an availa
he force of volunteers amounting 10 l88
600, which added to the regular army
will constitute q total force of $780, 900 Of
ficers and men. 1t will bs for Congress te
determine whether the army shall at thi.
time be increased by the addition of still
larger volunteer force.
The probable total amount required fo
the army added to the appropriation mad,
for the year, euding with June 3oth, 1880
for the force now in the field, or which
has been accepted or viii be in service
within ,be next twenty days, is 1S5,300,
600. The estimates for the navy are al
so large, but exact figures are not yet ex.
hibised.
Notwithstanding the very many persons
iusthe streets yesterday, the order was ex-
cellent. The review of the eighteen OF
twenty New York regiments was the grand
feature of the day. A tastefully arranged
pavilion was erected on Pennsylvania ay-
enue, near the Executive Mansion, for the
accommodation and comfort of the Execu-
tive and military officers; by this pavilion
the troops passed.
The President introduced Gen. Scott to
the multitude of civilians, and made a
few highly acceptable remarks.
Secretaries Seward and Smith, Attor-
ney General Bates, Generals Sanford and
Dix, also, in response 10 the impatient de-
tnands of the crowd, delivered brief ad-
dresses.
The scene was intensely interesting, and
the repeated cheering manifested the depth
Of the patriotic enthusiasm.
All the members of the Cabinet and
other distinguished gentlemen were shell
tered from the sun under the appropriately
adorned pavilion. Shortly after the dis
play in that locality the President and his
friends were escorted to the Treasury
grounds where they hoisled tho national
flag on the staff especially planted for the
occasion.
There was ringing Of bells and firing OF
cannon during the day, and iuuumerabIe
street exhibitions OF pyroteclnics at night.
The military in the camps were not insen-
sible to The observance of The day, and
sergeant Of the Texas cavalry sigualized
the anniversary by getting married.
The Republican mcnLers of the House

A Night March in Western Vir.
ginia.

|
Bickham, of the Cincinnati Commercial,
who is with the army in Western Virginia,
gives this graphic sketch of the night march
upon Buckhannon: -
tsxBut we received most hearty greeting.
The gallant 9th "closed up" and marched
in to town speedily, with colors flying and
full band playing the "anvil chorus" The
people were fairly wild with delight La
dies suddenly startled from the sweetest Of
sluinbers. Their "morning nap"-seemed
to have forgottoh-what woman rarely for
gets--to complete their toilet, and stood
smiling at tho doors and windows, waving
welcome to their protectors, aud men shout
ed hoarse welcome to brave deliverers. -
During the darkness of night the troops had
been cheered at humble cots along the high
way. The sudden invasion Of the peaceful
solitudes of Virginia in the profound quiet
of midnight, had startled tho Inhabitants
from deep slumbef. The "honest watch
dogs bark" terminated in long howls OF
terror, and died away in dismal echoes
Cattle and horses peacefully grazing in
pleasant pastures, galloped in dismay over
the bills and far away. Our eyes penetrat-
ing the obscurity dimly di>eerned the faint
outlines Of human figures in eager attitudes
in the door ways-rnen nnxiousIy gazing at
the fear inspiring pauopIy of war, women in
simple night attire timilly shrinking from
too close scrutiny; children clinging fearful

closely to their bosolns. The harsh clan
guer of steel clasbing with steel, the chatter
Of iron hoofs on the stony highway, the
stern rumbling Of artillery wagons over the
rocky roads, and the horse roar Of thou=.
ands of rough voices, were now and then
relieved by cheerful huzzas from manly
throats'in smbuscade. Sometimes the sweet
CHEEKY, welcome ones of womanfs voice
m ingled with the solemn discordant roar
like The notes of a bird heard in the lull of

people flying towards the highway from
their humble dwellings on the edge of the
forests. With an occasionafexception they

the waving grass, and posted herself on a
rustic stie to view the imposing army
The lads, who constantly exhibit the keen
est susceptibility to the pretty creatures,
hailed her with shout of delight. Some

The Approaches to New Orleans
The Philadelphia Press says:

The river al the Balize divides into four
branches, discharging themselves respee-
lively through Pass a POutre, Northeast
Pass, Sout Pass, and Southwest Pass
Above, where these four outlets begin,
there are two iorts, almost opposite to
each other, named Jackson and St. Philip
When this rebellion broke out they were
not efficiently mounted. and could easily
have been taken. What additions the
traitor Twiggs has made 10 their defense
is not known. II thev are well mounted
it would be very Difficult, for a feet TO pass
up the main body Of the river.
There are, however. three other modes
Of approach by water to the city. The
one is through Lakes Borgne and Pont

Berwick Bay, and thence by bayous Tore
