DEPARTURE OF THE WASHINGTON ARTILLERY
Major Walton's battalion, the Washington Artillery,
numbering four companies and 300 men, left tor
Virginia last evening, by the Jackson Raliroad.
Their departure was attended with turnout Of
the population which was perfect ovation. No
previous military departure from this city has
drawn ont multitude 80 great, or been honored
with so tumultuous demonstration OF feeling on
the part Of the public.
Long before the hour of departure, crowds
blocked up Girod street in front of the Arsenal,
and swarmed Lafayette square, and the City Hall
and the other buildings around-the ladies forn-
ing great part of the multitude everywhere.
The Battalion, formed in four companies, with
their drivers as a fifth or auxiliary, and with
large turnout Of honorary members wearing
badges, formed in Lafayette square. The Orleans
Light Horse, Capt Leeds; the Orleans Guard,
some four or five hundred strong and the youthful
Louisiana Cades, came to the ground, to escort the
Artillerjsts to the Railroad Depot.
Tie news that the Rev. DR.. Palmer was to
deliver parting address to the Artillerists from
the steps of the City Hall, caused ST. Charles
street to be still more densely crowded.
The Artillerists drew up in companies, accord
ing to rank, in front of the City Hail. and, with
sabres erect, listened to the address of the Rev.
Dr. Palmer. The address was just such one as
might have been expected from that gentleman on
such an occasion. 1t was eloquent, thrilling, and
to the point, throughout. When the reverend
speaker concluded the Artillerists gave three
cheers for the independence of the Southern Con-
federacy, and three more for the Old Dominion"
After that, the multitude gave more cheers than
could count, for the Washington Artillery and
for Major Walton,
The march for departure was then formed. Es-
corted by the Cavalry Company and the Orleans
Guard, the Artlersts marched down st. Charles
to Canal, down Canal to Camp, up Camp to Cal.
liope, and out Caliope to the railroad depot. All
along this route, the scene was one of the most
unexampled feeling and enthusiasm. The men
made all the noise in the way of huzzas and cheers
whilst the ladies could only express their feelings
in their own silent way-houtiug their kerchiets
and dinging flowers
At the depot, the scene was almost indescribabe.
Whilst oil the vehicles from the center of town
were there cumbering the streets with their loads
of beauty, the balconies, windows, and very house
tops were crowded with people. All points of
vision were madly struggled for, and the whole
vicinity presented the appearance OF tempest
tossed sea Of human beings.
We never before saw ladies of fashion, respecta-
| bility wealth, do as much as We saw them doing
last evening, in order to get final look at the Ar
tierists as they went away. They left their car
| riages and mingled in the rough crowd, lodging
under mules noses, Jumping out of the way Of
moving vehicles, Tadlng ankle deep in dust, and
snufing clouds of dust, and soiling their clothes

ing all sorts of little dlsasters-carng only to find
some place where they could have q last good look
at the Artillerists as the cars carried them away.
So deDsely was the track lined with people, that
| the crowd extended over half mile beyond the
depot to the very edge of the swamp, the ladies
| going as far as any.
| the military train rumbled by, the men along the
track cheering the soldiers, the latter responding,
the ladies waving their handkerchefs. and the
| whole multitude, on and off the cars, giving all
sorts of evidences Of the very highest heartfeeng
| and enthusiasm.
Nearly everybody had wet eyes. We noticed
| as the cars were rumbling off in the distance
groups of people sitting about on the piles OF lum

have out their cry before they started on their
turn to the city-there being mothers, wives
sisters and daughters, in this crowd.
| God bless and protect the brave Washington Ar
tillerists, was the heart prayer of all. They ar
now on their way to action, and soon we shall hea
good report of them.
