MILITARY PARADEs.-Yesterday, the volunteer
companies Of this city and Georgetown seemed
to have overrun with military spirit and they
were on parade at nearly all hours of the day.

to Franklin Square, and gave the citizens in that
vicinity an opportunity to witness their proficiency
In the military drill.
The Presidents Mounted Guard Can't Owens

Mounted Guard, Captain Stewart, paraded our
streets, exciting much admiration at their WELL
executed evolutions.
The Potomac Light Infantry, Of Georgetown,

The services of the day are impressive and in
teresting, particularly in the Catholic Church.
This church teaches that Ii Is through the peculiar
merits Of our Savior alone that the believer obtains
remission Of sins and attans the realization Of the
promises Of the Gospel; that Christ died for ALL
and is the Savior of ALL therefore no class of men
is excluded from the benefits Of the PRAYERS of the
faithful, who believe that the church fulfils the
design OF her holy spouse by praying for every
description OF persons. On this day our Saviour
