| cause no one knows Just what BrOoklyns cti-
zen-soldiers are to contribute toward the Centen-
NAL Celebration. General McLeer has not issued
orders to the regiments Of the Second Brigade in
regard to the affair." for the reason that he has not
been advised by the Acknowledgement as to what
his command is to do. But, so far as can be
learned General Porter is as ignorant Of what will
be required Of the State troops any one because
the Military Committee has not as yet made out
the programme. This neglect forces all things in
this connection to remain at standstill, causes
much Inconvenience and may result in inJurng to
some extent the grand appearance of the New-York
State troops that is expected by every one When
the Military Committee informs the Adjutant-
General in this regard there will be no further
delay, and orders will be Immediately issued to
| the members of the various commands.
