display caused great laughter. An inter-
esting feature o. exhibition was a display of
Aags and banners Of various patterns, some
Of them entirely new and others torn By
bullets and literally in shreds, while others
were faded BY exposure to the wSsther or
blaekened by the smoke Of battle. Several
stats were carried from which flags had
been shot away. All the spear heads were
ornsmented with towers. e was remarked
in contrast 70 the Army of the Potomac,
that the troops Of the armies Of Georgia
aud Tennessee wore the vide brim hats.
Their appearance in all respects vas equal
to that Of the Army Of the Potomac. Not
withdrawing they had performed more
marching service their movementa were
much admired and aPplsuded. The COM
mander Of each army corps and division,
attended BY one staff officer, d~ismountsd
after passing the General-in- chief and
joined him until his command passed the
reviewing stand, when he found his com
msnd beyond bounds,or consolidated. Field
music turned out and played as these bril-
gades passed. One band to each division
performed during the mach from the
to The Treasury building. 81
