Excitement About That Cavalry
and Those Guns.

The report last evening OF the arrival
OF two cavalry companies In this city,
and that two Napoleon guns had been
brought up from the Barracks to the
| Orleans Hotel, where Federal tro ops
are quartered, created intense excite
ment among our people.
Wild conjecture was naturally the
result, and the excitement was not
abated, as might be supposed, when 1t
was aseertained. beyond o doubt, that
that the two guns Ia question had really
been rolled into the courtyard OF the
hotel named, the rear OF which, as ID
we'll known. gives access through the
broken wall into the yard Of Paokard's
fortress.
Comments wereindulged in to excess,
even by these particularly who have for
some time past openly declared their
want OF faith In the pledges Of non-in-
reference, which are now the order OF
the day, and served to confirm them In
the belief that nothing good GOULD
come out OF the promises Of Mr.. Hayes
friends. The feeling that something
was wrong, or Mt least inexplioable IN
this apparent threat, certainly prevailed
in every circle, and even those who were
wont to maintain silent attitude pre-
vious to the discovery, manifested anx-
iety to learn whether the report was
really founded In fact.
The situation among the people gen.
orally. and without regard to political
complexion, appeared to be ineompro-
hensible. and whilst the more intelli-
gent classes were embarrassed to give
an opinion, the masses were perfectly
nonplussed.
No private dispatches Of Importance,
90 far "a could be learned, were received
in this city from Washington, but, per
contra. the news Of the excitement
occupied the telegraph operators, tick
ing on the northward lines very briskly
during the evening.

The crowd In the building was, ls
might have been expected, very de-
spondent, but they were still ontident
that the troops would not be Withdrawn
and that. in case Of an attack on the
building, which they confidently. ex-
pect, they will be used against the force
Of Governor Nichols.
They have erected additional barri-
cades, have stored in the building ten
days. rations, and express themselves
as feeling perfectly able to repel an as
sault or stand siege.
They have 352 men In the building
under arms, including 4 captains, IL
sergeants and 16 corporals.
The leaders are still assuring them
that the recognition Of Packard and his
government will follow close on the In
auguration Of Hayes, and disregardinR
the signs OF the time, dupes believe
them.

TIE FIREMEN's FESTIVAL,
A Grand Gala Day for The FIRE Fighters.

The fortiesb anniversary Of the gal
liant flremen Of New Orleans will be
celebrated to-day with unusual pomp
and splendor, we understand. The
scene will be worthy Of contemplation,
not only by the large numbers OF
strangers who are among us, but, as
we'll, by the entire people, who have
learned to appreciate the invaluable
services of this time-honored organiza-
ton, whose sole ambition is to save
the lives and property of our fellow
citizens and succor the widow and the
orphan with no other recompense than
that which the heart gives In gratitlca-
ton to those themselves who perform
the arduous and dangerous duties OF o
nreman. For although the Firemen s
Charitable Association Is under con-
tract with the city to extinguish fires,
the individual members Of the organiza-
ton receive no pecuniary compensation.
On the contrary, all are taxed Tor the
support of their respective companies,
and to meet very frequently, especially
OF late. the deficiencies arising from the
Impoverished condition Of the city 9
treasury. and It's inability to pay It's OBJ
legations to the association. There will
be in the line nineteen steam engine
companies, four hook and ladder com
panies and one hand engine company,
belonging to New Orleans proper, and
steam and hand engines and hook and
ladder companies from .Algiers, aud
possibly from other suburbs Of the city.
Several new features will in all prob
ability be presented to the pu bile; ut ell
events, the beautifully plated and high.
ly FURNISHED engines, gaily decorated
and ornamented, the newly painted and
gilded trucks, will be sufficient to ex-
cite the admiration OF all who will view
the parade.
The indications, at this writing, are
that the day will be bright and ba lmy
one, and that the parade will end Us
gloriously as its predecessors.
The route Of the procession. which is
announced to move at II o'clock pre-
oisely, will be as foil WIS:
Down Charities to Esplapade, to
I,evee, down Levee to Mandevilie, up
Vaudeville to Casacalvo, up Casacalvo

BosToN, Feb. 27.-In accordance with
the special request of the poet Longfel-
low, his SEVENTEEN birthday to-day
was not formally observed here by his
friends and admirers, though he was
informally called upon at his pleasant
and historic home at Cambridge. But
at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Me-,
his Alma Mater, there was quite
formal recognition of the event.
At noon the students, Faculty, and all
connected with the college assembled
in the chapel. With o few happy re-
marks, President Chamberlain intro
duced Prof. Packard, who gave a very
interesting sketch Of the poets life,
especially during his four years in col
lego and Immediately after. Among
other remarks, Prof. Packard said that
he assisted at the entranee.examination
of Young Longfellow.' He read q
series of resolutions to be sent to Prof.
IIongfellow as greeting in behalf OF
Bowdoin College. The resolutions were
seconded by G. w. Morrill,, Of the Senior
class, with few appropriate remarks,
and were then unanimously adopted. A
just tribute was paid to the purity and
truth of the poets life. The affair was
most pleasant, and was spontaneous
aud sincere.
