MILITARY NOTES.

one for the 'bod sojer boys" owing, of course to
the stir created by the departure TO and return
from the Inauguration ceremonies and festivities
at Washington. The scenes and incidents
directly connected with those events have
been already fully reported in the HER
AID, 80 that but little remains to be said
on those points, The Old Guard, OF course,
carried Off the bonors both in Washington and in
this CITY, at least far the visitors Of the mill
tia were concerned. They were particularly
honored being allowed to take possession of the
White House while bearing arms and, from all &C.

to feel proud, it was on Thursday last They not
only did themselves honor but they did honor to
this city Promptly on hand at such an early hour
on cold morning, they showed spirit of ODE
dience to orders worthy of emulation. Going to
meet q pet body of regulars who were led and
commanded by 'Tactics" Upton, they showed con-
siderable pluck, and in thus really winning the COM
pliment which the aforesaid Upton accorded them
in his communication to the Secretary of War, as
published in the HERALD Of yesterday, they have
ample reason to feel proud indeed. On the march,
it must be acknowledged that the Seventh were
ahead Of the Cadets, according to Upton's rules

ment while the cadets kept both hands and arms

hips downward. The reception and display by
the Seventh and the Cadets were really an ovation
credtabe to the two corps and exceedingly hearty
by the residents OF the metropolis.

good representative escor. Another fine escort
was sent to meet company OF the st. Louis

sourians do not regret the reception and stay in
this city. The warriors from the far West comprise
a really handsome looking set Of men and all evil
IDENTITY well up in the manual Of arms. They have
