THE GREAT PAGEANT.
To-day occurred the passage of the Army of
Georgia through the city First came the 18th
divisions in reverse order, Sd division in front.
The route through the city was the same pur-
sued by the Army of the Potomac on Saturday
except substituting Grace street for franklin.
After the passage of the 14th corps came the
goth corps, Mai Gen. G. A. Mower, these two
corps constituting Sherman's left wing, known
as the Army of Georgia, and commanded by
Maj Gen. H w. Slocum. There were many
noticeable features connected with the specta.
Gle, and among the most prominent were the
pack animals and their attendants; Sherman's
famous "bummers." Each brigade was fol-
lowed by host Of these nOndescripts. Horses
and mules, donkeys, oxen, COWS, each laden
with bulky packs, made up OF ratiOns or OF
camp and garrison equipage; horses, mules,
donkeys, oxen, cows, and packs of all imagin-
able shapes, cOlors and sizes. Some of the
horses are nimble, diminutive things known as
the Florida horse Others of them large, stall.
the product of the great march through four
States. Another prominent feature was the
magnificent marching. Never did body of
men keep better step; even after they had
been on the march for hours, the ranks were
dressed as if for a gala day parade. The 10th
corps was especially noticeable in this respect.
No man ever looked upon better marching.
Its last platoon was as perfect in its formation
as the first. There were no stragglers any
WI nd a hal Uh n
looked lugubriously upon them from the side
walk: "They are soldiers, they will fight;
they like it." In this magnificent corps the
three great States of the Union, New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio have large representa-
tons, numerous regiments which have done
them honor in many battles and on many
marches. Another feature of the occasion and
strange one, was the utter absence of any,
thing like reception ceremonies by the military
authorities. On the Manchester side of the
river one corps was drawn up to receive them,
but In Richmond nothing more was done than
to station cavalry guard at the intersection
of the streets, to keep the line of march clear.
II had been intended by General Halleck to re.
view the troops OF General Sherman, merely as
an act of courtesy. and he would have been at
tended by Gen Ord and other officers. A fine
street front of the City Hall, very handsomely
draped with flags. But it all came to nought.
Gen. Sherman objected to the reviewing of his
corps by Gen. Halleck, and, it is said, declared
that if he could avoid it in no other way, he
would march around the city instead OF through
it. Gen. Halleck waived the point and the
troops marched through without an official re-
cognition of their presence. The circumstance
is noteworthy to this extent that it proves
there is little love between the two senior
major generals of the United States army.
Guild and Hatch remain at Libby, chewing
the cud of reflection, and amusing themselves
as best they may under their unconstitutional
deprivation of their personal liberty, as they
doubtless consider 1t. A charge is out for the

prisoners, and until its return there will be no
further developments in the case.
