left on Spruce to Church, up Church to
Summer, down Summer TO Broad, up
Broad TO Cherry, up Cherry to Church,
when the line passed in review and were
dismissed marching.
INCIDENTS OF THE MARCH.
The procession occupied a little over
thirty minutes in passing a given point and
may safely be estimated as a mile and 2
quarter in length.
The band Of the 10Th Infantry as usual
discoursed most excellent music, and the
soldierly bearing of the battalion Of Tegu-
lars attracted much admiration, which was
shared in equal measure by the Jackson
Guards. with their gray uniforms.
TIE sidewalks Of ali the principal streets |
on lie line of march were so thrOnged that
It was useless to attempt 10 move in the
opposite direction. 4 very pretty sight
was the bOquet Of female beauty cOngre- |
gated on the steps OF the First Presbyterian |
Church as the procession passed, while |
every door step and window along the |
route, were thronged with interested spec
tators. The capitol grounds and the steps |
and pOrches Of the building were thronged, |
and Mi. Glover gave up in despair the |
effort to protect his precious grass plots.
As the procession passed
THE POLK MANSION,
Mrs. Polk, with a company Of ladies and |
gentlemen, came to the gate to witness the |
pageant, aud was received with a marching
salute.
PERSONAL.
Among the distinguished persons partici- |
pating in the procession were Gov. Porter,
Adiutant Gen, Handy, BriCadier Gen. ID. |
