The Grant Guards. accompanied By de-
tachmenG Of the Lincoln Guards, Of Edge
field, and headed by the Excelsior Comet
Band, paraded through the principal streets
of the city yesterday afternoon. They
halted on tie Square and went through
the manual Of arms in the presence Of
large number Of people, both white aud
black. The aWbwartu6sS Of some Of the
sGuaTds provoked shouts Of laughter
from the crowd; but for the short time
they have been drilling, they make a cred
liable showing. They left the Square and
went To South Nashville, followed by hun
dreds # c0lored men, women and children,
and thence to Liberty Hall, where a festival
was held at night; there was q good attend
ance, and the crowd seemed to enjoy them
selves hugely. The "Guards" went through
the drill again, and performed some maneu-
vers that were loudly applauded.

She Has Gone Through "a Process OF
ReEOyatiOR-A FIroman's Invention
&c Save Time.
Hamilton Enaine No. 2, Ninth Ward,
has been in the shop during the past two
months. Her boiler, which was in a very
bal condition, has been completely over
hauled, and = new IRE box, crown sheet
and 200 new fues placed in it. The ma
chineTy was taken down and thoroughly
renovated, new parts being added where
certain parts were 50 much worn that they
were worthless for further use. She has
been furnished with new coat Of paint,
and has The appearance Of a brand-neW
engine. The work was done by the engineer
Ed. Y. Veronee, and the painting By Capt.
Freeman and Henry Brakeman, the fireman.
The hOse-csrTiage has also been painted.
The engine will be ready for service to-
night. The work done by members of the
compaU-, would have cost, at the lowest
cslculal on, $500 if done by outsiders. The
members Of the company are AZ present en-
gagged in laying q solid floor, Of timber
taken from the old bridge over Lick Branch,
which will cost the city only trifling sum
Tor spike, the work being voluntarily
done.
Henry Brakeman, the fireman, has in
vented a machine by which either or all Of
the horses can be unhitehed from their
stalls simply by touching q small spring.
The horses are so well trained that as soon
as they are unfastened, they take the places
assigned them at the engine. The new
arrangement is considered quite On i'm
provement upon the old plan and will be
great convenience TO the company.

DOUGLAS WAREHOUSE.
More Territory Taken In.
A Branch Railroad and River Ele-
water Next.

In the scope which we have given to re-
porting the building progress Of the city for
the current season, comes an account OF
the work of Douglas, Son & Co., on North
Market and Front streets. In nothing have
this years Improvements been more marked
than in the construction Of warehouses.
At present this firm is engaged in erecting
another immense addition TO its already
capaciOus warehouse, and extending the
invest ment TO about $4,000. The build
iDgs previously completed occupy the whole
square bounded by Market, Front. Hyaes
and Gay streets, except a lot 5Oxl5O fsCt
on the northwest corner. The dimensions
are 2E5 feet On Market, 800 On Hynes, 275
on Front and 80 on Gay. The groIId
floor IS 65,o00 square fest, buJ there are
three upper stories which would make
the entire tOoc surface at least 10000 feet.
Wagons run thrcngh ana through aud gre
loaded with the greatest convenience. Tie
floors ase level but the wagon passages are
so inclined that the stuff being moved need
neAer be lifted whether in load
ing or unloading. Tie warehouse
is freely lighted throughout 70
every corner, and perfectly venti-
lated. In moving wheat Unsacked bulk
wagons are used. taking on $50 bushels in
five minutes and transferring :. to a lzr in
the same time. The building is provided
with wagon scales in each passage for
weighing and elevators for raising the load
to the upper floors. The convenient Ca
pscity o. The concern is 2J0,O0O bushels OF
grain and 6,jOO bales Of cotton at the same
time. The enterprise was commenced
seven years ago.
The foundation for the addition will
soon be completed. 1t occupies a cOnsider-
able portion of the next square TO the north
Of what we have Just described and, but
for the Turner Hall lot (T2xl50 feet
would be parallelOgrau. The dimensions
are les feet On Market, 800 feet across to
Front street at the northern limit, $50 feet
or Front back to Gay, and $50 on Gay to
Turner Hall. The first floor will therefore
have 1900 square feet, but as there IS TO
be a basement, there viii be another 5000
feet of floor below. Mr.. Douglas says that,
had ne taken in the Tur-gi Hall lot, be
would have had two If tie -Llgest single
rooms in America - 3OOXlS0 feet.
This warehouse viii be used prin-
Cipally for tobacco, for which the
basement, OF cellar, will be IN ad-
mirable place Of storage. 1t IS Mr.. Doug
las intention 70 build q branch railroad
his mammoth warehouse when
completed, on Front street. He also con
templates the erection Of a grain elevator
for steamboats, on the river bank, and the
Of an endless chain to trans
port freight BY steam up the river bank
from boats. He is putting his money to a
liberal use, which will result in public as
well as private profit.

The funeral parade at the Barracks Sum
day morning, in respect to the memory Of

tended. IF the parade had occurred in the
afternoon, about the time that the band
generally give their Sunday afternoon cor
concerts, doubtless the crowd would have
been very large, yet the order was peremp-
tory and hence no variance from it could
be allowed. The flag vas floating a. half
