The skies were propitious yesterday to our
fiiemeu, and the fourth of March was ushered
III with the most brilliant rays that Apollo,
sometimes called the sun, could muster
for earthly dispensation. Scarcely had
Mother Earth begun TO warm up
under the embraces Of the jolly god
of light, when doors were flung open In every
street and quarter, and tnadens, matrons,
nurses and children, natives and foreigners,
black and white, without regard to color, sex
or previous condition. issued forth dressed in
holiday attire, with lips smiling and faces
beaming with Joyous anticipation. Nor did
our noble-hearted iiremen disappoint the ex-
pectant crowd Clad for the parade In Han
mel shirts red, white or blue, Of the best
patterns with black pants, and newly
painted casgues flashing under the
suns rays, they displayed without eScep
tlon such manly bearing and decorous con-
duet as won the hearts Of all. We love
our firpmen not only because they are brave
and do honor to the city before strangers, but
for the reason that they are the protectors of
our property and Of the lives Of our wives and
children No danger is SO frightful that they
will not risk, no deed go heroic that they will
not dare. To them we owe safeguard and pro-
lection, and when their annual feast day
comes It cannot I've feted with too much
spLendor and enthusiasm. AS was announced
in yesterday mornings papers the different
companies formed on Canal street, and 1t was
q beautiful sight to see
We have rarely seen such q crowd on this
populous thoroughfare. The many strangers
now In the city. cognizant Of the reputation
of our brave tirenen thronged to see them
form into line and their many friends in the
city, added to the number, made an almost
compact mass of people from the Custom
House to Bourbon street. Notwithstanding
the vast concourse assembled there, Camp,
st. Charles, Royal and other adjacent streets
were Gro vded almost so as to impede free
circulation In ali this crowd we can
not omit mentioning, though we may
make enemies Of fair ones here, that
we were particularly struck with fresh and
rosy faces that we had never seen before and
who, we concluded must belong to some ia
vored dimes where beauty keeps always
fresh, and where loveiness is thing Of every
day
AS soon as the various companies had taken
their allotted places the line began to move, a
platoon of policemen opening the way
through the denaely crowded streets,
The first division was headed by the grand
marshal, l. N. Marks, in full regala, sur
rounded by his aids:
