 Night.
 At meeting of the officers of the city bat talion, Second regiment, held at National Armory last evening it was voted to order out the city companies by fire alarm bell Cffteen strokes, as permission has been granted by those in power, providing word is received Gin time to sound the alarm) that | the Foot Guard will arrive here between the ! hours of 5 p. m. and a. m. Should they, however, arrive during business hours the | alarm will not be sounded, as it would be al most impossible to get full companies out, the men having lost so much time of late, and as the brigade shoot is to come off next week, necessitating the loss of one or more days. l If the alarm is given it will be sounded an hour before the Foot Guards arrival | The members of the several city companies l will hasten to their armories on hearing the alarm and fall in, in full dress, as soon as possible.
 If the time will permit the battalion will assemble in front of Union armory, Captain F. W. Tiesing in command, and proceed to | the depot by the shortest route. The line | of march from the depot will be through State to Elm, to York, to Chapel to Union I armory.
 | It has been suggested that on hearing the | alarm the veterans and ex-members of the l Foot Guard assemble at Union armory in cit | izens dress and form company under com mand of one of their ex-eficers. ''Get out l the Feeters' cannon and help receive the boys as they deserve.
 The Second regiment band, George Streit leader, have kindly volunteered to furnish music for the parade if the parade comes of tonight after o'clock, they being engaged | in Hartford to-day.
 Dispatches yesterday state that the troops were expected in Washington last night. If they get through their review by General Sherman in time they may arrive tonight.
