The MILtTARY DISPLAY YESTERDAY Between |
ten and twelve thousand men were under arms on
Canal street, in honor of the anniversary of Louis
iana's Independence Day. Although but few regi /
ments were out with more than half force, yet as
most Of the men were completely armed and
equipped, they prasented much more imposing |
appearance than on any other review yet had. |
The morning was cloudy, and at early hour
everybody feltsure that it would rain but as the
sun rose high in the heavens the clouds were dis
persed and he showered down his rays upon the
heavily clad soldiers with anything but a pleasant
liberality.
As has always beenths case with our city troops,
although ordered to be into line at 10 o'clock pre-
cisely, it fully hour later before they were
! ready for review. The causes OF this tardiness
| are various and we are assured that to remedy
it an entire change in our military system will be
necessary. 1t sears hardly upon those companies
and regiments which come out prompt to the hour,
as they forced to stand and wait for the others,
sometimes at least two hours fact which tends
greatly to make them dilatory on future casions.
We hope, however, that when the new militia law
| goes iuto effect and commanding officers have the
power to enforce strict obedience to their orders,
! this representation will be at an end, and when
the Major General orders review for particular
| hour, it will be exactly at that hour.
! Speaking of the new militia law, reminds US that
up to the present, what it is, seems to be mystery
| which nobody can solve The question is asked Us
a hundred times each day, what it is, but we
have not yet seen perfect copy, like the rest we
| are in the dark. There are rumors, however, that
it is very stringent, and is destined to make great
| and beneficial changes in volunteer organiza-
tons If this is true we shall hail its enforcement
with pleasure. '-. s~s-
| We noticed one thing during the review yester
day which, we hope, will be remedied by the new
law, and that was the large number of able-bodied
men who were lockers on in Vienna" They
certainly should be ashamed of themselves, and il
they will not do military duty without force, that
force should be applied tout de suite.
Besides the military display the holiday was
generally kept throughout the city, and business
) entirely suspended. Taken all in all, we think
considering that the FIRST celebration of the
i day, it passed off most creditaby and afforded q
fair opportunity for prediction as to what it will
be in future, when it shall come to children
and chldren's children to show their gratitude tc
Il the patriotic men who dissolved connection witt
1 the Yankee despotism. &c ~ h-
