The Walt of The 7th regiment.

We had only time IN our last issue fol
very short reference to tho visit of the
7th Regiment, N. G. s. N. j., to this city
on the 9Th; and having been absent from
the Rink when the collation. was served
several interesting points escaped motto,
with reference TO that. These and some
other facts we supply below;
At the collation. in the Rink, much care
had been bestowed by the committee il
charge, in tho arrangement of tho tables
the seats for each company being marked
by beautifully designed banner, upor
which was the letter of tho company II
conspicuous colors. Tho field and staff
non commissioned staff and band wer,
also thus marked At tho conclusion oil
the collation., Chas. A. Skillman, Esq,
on behalf Of his Honor, Mayor Mcdowell
welcomed tho Seventh to our city. In hi,
remarks he spoke particularly of tho IN Iii
tary history of our city, tho number who
had gone to war and the number who had
filed hero-graves. He also paid glow
ing tribute to tho ladies' who composed
the Ladies' Aid Society during the re-
bellion. Concluding, he said no trusted
that tho members of tho Seventh, whose
past history was part of our own, would
always find 1t home to them whenever
they should feel disposed to visit us.
Col. Donnelly replied in few fitting
remarks, In which hs alluded TO tho hos
pitality extended and which would not
soon be forgotten. He introduced Gen.
eral Plume, Commander Of the Division
of National Guards of New Jersey. The
General said he was proud to DO the Com
mander Of such IN organization as the
National Guard OF New Jersey, and from
the description given by Mr.. Skillman OF
the noble men who had stood up in battle
for the honor of the Nation and State, 1t
was proper and befltting that the Seventh |
Regiment, as part of the Guard, and |
which stood high in his estimation, should
