sIxry-xHrH REGIMENT RECEPTION.

Eight years ago yesterday the sixty ninth New
York regiment took their departure from this city
amid the flourish Of trumpets to protect the Union
nag, which was being assailed by armed men. The
events that followed that march have made the Six
tynnth famous In the history of the country. Last
evening the anniversary Of their departure for the
seat OF war was celebrated by q grand
ban at the armory, Essex Market And
what change was there. No Corcoran
welcomed the guests; no Meagher poured his bland
ishments into the ears Of the fair ones. few
sturdy veterans all that remained OF the
old Sixty-ninth 1t was impossible for one to gaze
on the scene last night and resist the conviction that
he looked skeleton that he was reading an epi-
taph. Autumn strews the thick foliage OF the woods
on the EARTH which soon swallows 1t up but autumn
makes no greater havoc than the bloody harvest OF
the last eight years, which gathered in vast crop
OF humanity. But there is one consolation in the re-
hection that some good and true men still remain.
Colonel James Kavanagh, Lieutenant Colonel Har-
gous and Major Michael Doran gave their guests
real, cordial, Irish greeting last evening. Captain
William Smith O'Brien bears name venerable to
the Celtic race all over the world and he seemed to
feel that the name entaied heavy responsibility,
for he performed the lions share Of the work. Cap
tain John Kerr was as faithful as q sentinel at his
post aided by Captain Michael O'Rorke and Lieuten-
ant Mortimer Sullivan in promoting the amusement.
General Mclvor, Colonel Nagle and many other mill
tary officers Of high rank were present.
