Good Feeling.
This morning, bright and early, the Seventh
regiment, Colonel Emmons Clark commanding,
win begin their pleasant jsunt to Phila-
delphia and Cape May. Should the
weather prove as brilliant as it has been
since Monday last this military trip will
be a most dashing and delightful affair, as
agreeable, no doubt, to the Philadelphians
as To our gallant Seventh. Their manly bear
ing and martial proficiency, the agreeable
associations of former days in peace and war,
the superb music that will accompany them
and the exuberant spirits and gentlemanly
grace that distinguish ''the boys" at the
bivouac as on the battle field, in the boudoir
as on the march, will all contribute to honor
the courtesies which the refinement of the
Quaker City and Of "the Cape" may offer them.
This handsome affair will be speedily fol-
lowed by another Of similar nature, but sur
rounded with special interest because of the
noble opportunity 1t affords to show how COM
pletely brave men forget all rancor when
honorable conflict Is over, and hail as COM
rades and friends in time of peace the adj
versaries who had been worthy Of their
steel in time of war. The famous Fifth Mary
land regiment, General Herbert commanding,
of Baltimore, will also visit Philadelphia on
the 2lst inst, and there be received and enter
tanned by the Eighth Pennsylvania, Colonel
Gray. The Fifth Maryland served with
distinction in the advance of Johnson's corps
L. Wall Of .;oso md IF fho
flower and pride of Stonewall Jackson's
renowned brigade. It's officers and men are
alike eminent for their soldierly and gentle
manly qualities, and they to-day march lightly
and firmly to the music CT the Union with the
national flag Of Stars ana Stripes at the head
of the column. They, too, will extend their
journey 70 Cape May, apd there cam cam OF. vt i! in
good old service style, with q round Of reviews
and festivities to mark their stay.
II is with unteigued Satisfaction that We hail
these agreeable evidences Of return to ''the
era of good feeling between fellow country
men. 1t was but the other day that some New
Orleans guests were publicly entertained in
this city, and from our exchanges we learn
replacing the 'stern alarums" Of few years
gone. This is as it should be, among men who
have beeu tried in the fire and have learned to
know their new associates whose hands they
clasp on the occasions by seeing them Crush
past with the light of battle on their faces"
But why should not the Fifth Maryland be
invited to our city? What say our National
Guard? Here is golden chance for worthy
and chivalric act. The great metropolis which
poured out her blood and treasure in such
unbounded fulaess to maintain the Union and
the flag may here set proud example. Our
people would make the reception gala day of
hearty enjoyment to one and all, and the youth
of the nation, as in after years they recall the
scene, would be none the less devoted, none
the less sincere in their country's cause for
having learned, by practice as well as by
precept. that courtesy is the very crown of
knightly honor and that the bravest are still
the gentlest when the fray is past.
