rCorrespondence Of the National Republican,
ANNAPOLIS, July Is, 1874.
Adjutant General Bond has received letter
from Otto Dukcr, chief marshal Of the Ma
tional Schuetzen Festival, which will be held
in Baltimore on the 18th of August next, re-
spectfully requesting him, in view OF It's ma
tional character and the very large delegations
that will likely be present at the festival, to
order q parade of the militia on that occasion,
which the chief marshal thinks would add
much to the success of the festival. General
Bond replied that, in view of the hard work
sustained by the Fifth and Sixth regiments by
their encampments, (the Fifth is yet to occur,)
and also that the Governor will be absent from
the State at the time and would not be present
to review the militia as law-parade, the only
way in which he could order the militia out,
he would have TO respectfully refuse the re-
quest. General Bond added that If the regi-
ments choose, of their own yolition, to parade
he would personally be much pleased.
Governor Groome will visit the Fifth regt-
ment, NJ. N. g., at their encampment at Long
Branch, on the oath Of July, accompanied by
all of his staff, who are uniformed, an order 70
