Tho occasion celebrated in Alexandria, where the
Eighth Illinois cavalry and the companies of the Eighty
eighth Pennsyivania volunteers garrsoning the town
paraded through the principal Streets and listened TO
the reading OF Washngton's Farewell Address.
The reading Of that immortal document was the mos'
prominent feature Of the celebration by all the regi
mens in the field. In every instance the scene was
peculiarly impressive The troops in the respective div
sions drawn up in line and each listened with
marked attention. The patriotic enthusiasm aroused by
the noble sentiments of Father of hs Country was
iuly attested by the cheers which followed the reading
of the Address, when the bands struck up patriotic and
appropriate airs and these intermnged with the enthu-
sstc cheers OF the volunteers rendered the scene ex
coedingly animated.
Salues fred from field batteries and from the
forts along the whole line Of defences the surround

A Arumor prevailed that the rebels, anticipating the
absence from their commands Of our Generals in the
Army OF the Potomac who had been invited to attend
the grand celebration In Washington would make an
attack forces in 'front.' hoping to counterbaance
their recent disastrous defeats in other quarters by
achieving victory the Potomac but those who were
well posted in the situation Of affairs discredited the
rumor which proved to be unfounded. Due precaution
had been taken and troops prepared to meet
any overtures of the rebels for battle.
After the regiments had been dismissed, they amused
themselves in various ways While daylight lasted

dulged in Subsequently the enjoyed themselves in
their quarters in a more convivial manner.
