Encampment at Metairie.

The young men who compose the First
Regiment Louisiana Volunteer Militia are
holding an encampment at the Metairie
Race Course. This commenced on Sunday
morning and will terminate this evening. A
large number of those thus encamped have
had no trifling military experience, and
are, therefore, quite at home in the tented
field.
There was little done on Sunday besides
the military evolutions and practice. Yes
terday there were two races, one for ponies
and one tor horses. The races were al
together extempore, the winners being
Tom Thumb in the pony race, and Hatcher
in the other
To-day being the glorious Fourth, there
will be no small attraction. The military
are expected to be on the ground to the
number of at least thousand men. There
will be large number of military notabili-
ties, and ladies will honor the occasion with
their presence.
At three o'clock there will be grand
national salute of one hundred guns. We
have no doubt that all who visit the en-
campment will be amply repaid.

NEW ORLEANS, TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1871.
LETTER FROM MINNESOTA.
Rapid Traveling-Nlagical Growth of the
Great West-The Changes of Eighteen
Years, etc.

Especial Correspondence of the Republican,
MINNEAPoLIs, June %, 1871.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
left New Orleans last week "wednesday
EVENING" by jackson and Great Northern
railroad, and had quick and pleasant trip
via Cairo, Chicago and Prairie du Chen,
arriving in this beautiful city Saturday eve
ming following-little less than seventy-two
hours.
The country and crops throughout the
entire route of some fourteen or fifteen hun
dred miles present most luxuriant ap-
pearance, especially through Illinois, Wis
consin, Iowa and Minnesota, and the rapid
growth of cities, towns and villages all
along this portion of the route is truly won
derful to behold. But few years since l
remember that these broad and naked
prairies, so wild and desolate, were only oc-
cupied by wandering Indians and buffalo,
and now, when l see them transformed into
the richest and most beautiful garden spots
of earth, occupied by millions of intelligent,
busy and happy people, l can scarcely
realize that l behold the same country.
Eighteen years ago | visited the Falls of
st. Anthony, and the site of this wonderful
city. | then saw it in all@its ancient and
pristine beauty.
Though the general form of the solid
earth remains very much the same, l find
the face of all nature has most wonderfully
changed Then the wild Sioux and Winnie
bagoes held undisputed title and possession
of this favored spot, but now find one of
the most beautiful and hourishing cities on
the continent rising here in place of their
wigwams.
Minneapolis now numbers its twenty
thousand, and claims the finest country and
falls, the most favored site and the best
water power on the globe.
Her streets and sidewalks are clean and
handsome, with gas and waterworks COM
plete; and her fine business blocks, private
residences and surroundings, beyond all
comparison, surpass in number and ele-
gance these of any other city of its size and
age in the known world. Railroads now
centre here from four points of the compass,
and soon another great highway is to be
opened from Duluth to st. Louis through
this city.
1t will have three important connections
with the Northern Pacific railroad, also,
which is rapidly progressing westward.
Few, if any, western cities have a brighter
future before them than this of the Laugh
ing Waters.
l was down to St. Paul the other day and
found that city making giant strides toward
greatness. / shall soon visit Saltwater,
Duluth, Superior, Brainard, Georgetown,
Otter Tail, st. Cloud and other towns upon
the Northern Pacific and other railroads.

The Hibernian AssOciation-Festival al
the Oakland Course.

The festival of the Hibernian Association,
held at the Oakland Course on Sunday, was
a happy recreation to thousands who
thronged thither, like streams flowing to a
common point, in the steamers chartered,
in every street car, in carriages and in every
other kind of vehicle and conveyance. A
moving mass of the thousands of friends of
the order were upon the grounds before the
commencement. The vast throng, repre-
senting every quarter of the city, were
there in eager expectation.
The celebration was opened by the ad-
dress of John j. Finney, Esq, who, on re-
viewing the short history of the present Or
ganization, and touching upon its objects,
entered into interesting and pleasing de-
tails, the whole address being received with
enthusiasm.
The sports, on the conclusion of the ad-
dress, began in real earnest, and the spacious
inclosure soon presented as lively scene
as any one had ever witnessed.
The following races were fought and the
victory won:
In the mile dash to saddle Mr.. B. McCue
entered Walk in the Water, Mr.. John Mag
ner Black Hawk, and Mr.. Phil. McCabe
Dan. The dash was won by Walk in tie
Water in 2:20. The others stood, Black
Hawk 3 Dan 3.
In the pony races there were four entries
Mr.. B. McCue's Ton Thumb, Mr.. Behon's
Kildare. Mr.. BatsOn's Croquet and Mr..
Lotz' Rover. Tom Thumb was the winner,
Kildare second, Croquet thiId and Rover
fourth.
Then came double team race of mile
to harness, in which there were two en-
tries-Mr Lawless' team and Mr.. Ander-
sons Arrow and Keep Cool. The dash was
won by the former team.
A game of base ball was played between
the Lone Star and the Crescent clubs, the
former coming out victoriously, the score
being twenty-five to seventeen.
Besides the above list of sports there
was dancing, and it seemed as if every hun
dred among the guests improvised special
games for themselves besides those on the
calendar for the day.
At little after one o'clock yesterday, a
spirited pony race took place, although the
entries did not consist of horses known to
fame, except Tom Thumb, which, being the
smallest horse in the crowd, won the heat
with ease. This was followed by buggy
race, for family horses only. There were,
in addition to this, some interesting speci-
mems of gymnastics, although the pro
gramme was not fully carried out, in conse-
quence of desire to have to-day's affair as
interesting as possible. What was not done
yesterday will, therefore, be done to-day.
We advise those who intend to pass their
Fourth of July with Onr Hibernian friends
to go soon, as the whole day will be taken
up by varied and exciting sport.

Upon the conclusion of the game the
Mutuals questioned whether the ball wa
regulation, but an examination showed it
all right.
CINCINNATI, July 3.-The picked nine of
the Olympics, of Washington, and Boston

The official report of the board of visitors
to the Military Academy at West Point was
received to-day. The board is generally sat
isfed with the appearance of things at the
academy, but makes some important recon-
mendations concerning the course of study
and the necessity for lengthening the time
of probate at the academy.
Some of the members urge return to
the rigorous discipline of twenty-five years
ago, when the sons of the rich and poor
man stood on an equal footing They con
slider that the influence of fashionable life
at West Point has been instrumental in
rendering the system of discipline too lax
for the requirements of proper military
education.
The board also urges that more attention
be paid to teaching the Spanish language,
and hopes Congress will give proper and
efficient support to this national institution.
