The serene beauty of a typical May
morning was yesterday frightened by the
arrival here of the Fifth Maryland resi-
mont. which. with flags flying, bands play
inc, and men keeping buoyant step to
martial airs. passed through the streets
from the York River railroad depot to
their headquarters at the First Regiment
Armory.
From this early hour until midnight the
tap of drum and the bugle's notes con-
tmuously announced the arrival of artil-
lery, cavalry. and infantry, until most OF
the States of the late Confederate Govern
ment had mustered here, at their old capi-
tai. camps and companies OF valiant vete-
r.ns and handsomely uniformed volun-
teers. They found tho streets streaming
with and the houses half hidden By deco
r,tions. In which the Confederate and
Federal colors were brilliantly blended.
Crowds of people thronged the sidewalks,
md so far as an immense attendance could
guarantee it, the success OF the unVeiling
celebration of to-day was triumphantly
assured.
Yesterday evening some Of the visitors
attended the Memorial services at the
-ewish cemetery: last night great numbers
oined the reiinion of the survivors OF the
army of Northern Virginia at the Capltol; {;
others participated in the military recep-
ton and ball at the Theatre; ana greater
numbers still found agreeable society IN
the homes OF old friends and comrades-in-
rms. where there was afectionate well
coma and lavish lOspitalIty.
