 HAGERsTowN, Md, April 23.-After a three days stop in this place the Coxey cohorts are preparing to march on Freder- ick. There will be one stop at Boonesboro, making the camp at Frederick on Tues day. There were rumors that Browne would remain encamped here till the re- turn of Coxey from New York, but at a late hour Browne announced positively that the start would be made this fore noon. Owing to the lost time, the original route of the army via Ridgeville and Da- mascus to Rockville will probably be changed.
 The commonweal will march direct down the National pike after leaving Frederick, thereby saving 17 miles. Why the other road was ever selected cannot be understood, as it makes long detour through not particularly attractive cour. try and touches no more large towns than are on the pike. To such a question Browne merely replies that it was done to use up time. His ultimate decision as to the road, he says, will be determined by important news he is expecting. This is supposed to mean news of recruits sent out by Colonel Redstone from Washing ton to join the army.
 The road by the National pike will throw the burden of entertaining the army on Urbana, Clarksburg, Middletown and Gaithersburg and relieve the other towns that have been uneasily awaiting the com- ing of the commonweal.
 It is possible that after reaching Rock vile there will be a further change of route, the army going south through the little settlement of Potomac and marching into Washington from the west by way of the Conduit road.
 Browne Breaches a Sermon.
 This would throw the last camp outside the city limits at Cabin Johns bridge in stead of Chevy Chase as is now intended. Browne, in speaking of the proposed camp in the arsenal grounds, said that he had concluded that the grounds around the foot of the Washington monument would be more convenient and appropriate and announced that he would telegraph Colo nel Redstone to make 0 request for the grounds of the secretary of war.
 Mayor Fleming of Frederick is preparing frosty reception for the army. He has announced that no public meeting will be allowed unless in a hall, and that there shall be no parade on the street. Browne says he would like to see the mayor stop procession of American citizens with the American flag at its head.
 The Sunday services in Camp Nazareth were attended by a crowd of 150 persons. Fifty dollars in all was taken in at the gate Browne doffsd his boots and son. brero in honor of his appearance as a min ister and put on suit of store clothes of clerical black.
 His sermon was on his own ideas of the osophy, telling where all theosophists ex- cept himself, from the dawn of civiliza- tion down to the present, had been wrong, and giving some views on reincarnation that would have been news to Mme. Bla- vatsky.
 The music by the commonweal choir was fully as remarkable as the sermon. The singers were of mixed race and color and broke down in the middle of the last hymn-a parody on Marching Through Georgia" That ran in part as follows: Come, rally to our standard, each idle man to-
 day,
 And show bloated bondholders we mean just
 what we say.
 One hundred thousand unemployed are march
 ing in array.
 We're marching on to Washington. Hurrah, hurrah! Our day of jubilee! Hurrah, hurrah, for the country of the free! Hurrah for legal tender, no interest bonds
 for mel
 We're marching on to Washington.
 Hold the Fort was also rendered in the same strain.
