party of Americans, the writer says,
followed up the commissioners declar-

the union jack was flying. The police
demanded an explanation and, after
some parleying, the flag was hauled
down and an apology rendered
The same letter contains the infor-

THE NAVAL BRIGADE.
Probably the National Guard Will Man
the Monitor.

Commander Rush Of the United States
navy, and Adjutant General Richards
called on Mayor Randall yesterday morn
ing and had an informal talk with him
about the means to be taken to man the
monitor on her arrival here. There was
no difference of opinion among thess
three gentlemen. They claimed that a
naval brigade cannot be formed at present
here because they claim the law does not
permit 1t.
When the monitor comes here Governor
Powers will have the care of her, but
Mayor Randall will do whatever the
Governor directs him to do in the matter
Probably by direction of the governor,
Adiutant General Richards will detail q
sufficient number of men from the
National Guard to go on the monitor and
receive instruction how to manage her.
Commander Rush said that when the
monitor gets here, she will come up to
the wharyes and lie in one of the docks.
He said it would be out of the question to
have her anchored out in the stream,
since it would be too inconvenient to SEND
men back and forth from her in boats OF
steamer. All the drilling on her would
be done while she is in the dock.
Commander Rush returned to Ports
mouth on the D. m. train.
