Yorktown and CharkoSt0ns The Connecticut Boys Cause Sensation
 -OR for CharIeston-How They Are to
 be Entertained.
 The Connecticut troops created sensation the line, having been so delayed, and the pro- cession having started. Unaware of this, the Connecticut regiment disembarked, formed, and with their splendid band, marched to the encampment. They reached the ground about Il a. m., when the marching columns were already filing past the grand stand. Taking in the situation at glance, the colonel of the Connecticut troops debouched to the left of the parade ground; and, mak- ing circuit in rear of the Presidents stand, reached the parade ground in time to fall in and march past in regular order. Few people knew they had arrived, and, owing to the prevailing anxiety on account of their un- explained delay, their appearance was genuine surprise. When they marched in splendid order, and with the finest military precision, in front of the..stand, they were loudly applauded and received the heartiest cheers of any command on the ground. At the close of the review the command con cluded not to go into camp. and, without even visiting the quarters intended for them, they wisely returned to their steamer The delay in arriving proved opportuns.
 The Charleston was at Fortress Monroe yesterday, arriving there yesterday morning, and the troops had military reception and spent the day there. They left Fortress Monroe at II o'clock last night for Charles ton.
 Later news about the arrangements at Charleston shows that an immense reception awaits the Connecticut visitors. Each conr pany of the First regiment will be received and taken care of by some military erganiza- tion in Charleston. The Governors Foot Guard will be the guests of the Washington ganizations in the South.

 ! The Grayson Opera company, who wer' the first to perform this jolly opera in thi country, rendered it last evening at Peck Grand Opera House. The audience, thougl | not large one was more demonstrative tha1 l usual and showed how much they enjoyed the performance by liberal applause. Int company is not quite up to the tone of th' Boston Ideal, but in many respects gave superior rendering of the opera Their long acquaintance with it enables them to ac ! and sing it with a proper dash anC spirit which enlivens and makes 1t highly ! acceptable to the audience. The many pret | ty airs were well rendered, and the Gobblt
 song was given three times in response tc
 loud calls. Miss Carter was very successful
 as the Mascot, singing and acting the par
 correctly. She has @ clear soprano voice un
 der excellent control, and her introduction of the ''Slkylark' also received an enthusias
 tic encore. She was well supported by MT Dalton as Pippo. The orchestra was hardly large enough, and the chorus through care
 lessness occasionally marred the good effec by singing falsely. The Mascot will be re peated this afternoon, and those who attend ! will not fail to be pleased. This evening thu
 same company will present Patience" Death of Captain H. G. Gill. Last evening about 8 o'clock Captain H. G | Gill, who resided at No. 199 Grown street | jumped out of a chamber window while in state of delirium and broke both of his legs He was taken up and carried into the house placed on 8 bed and soon after expired Tn,
 deceased had been in poor health for som,
 time. His family has the sympathy of man. friends in their deep aff1ietion.
