Graxp Mmitary Disptay.—Oao Monday mo: , the regiment of the volunteer militia of the District of Columbia will parade for exercise and ingpe:tion, in accordance with the general order, beret >fore issued from head- uarters. The legion will be reviewed by tae resident of the United States and the Secre- tary of War, and doubtless admired by thous ands of our citizens, who, as ever, are partial to military displays. The boys are not invited to be present, az it is presumed they will a: tend without formal importunity! Ground is to be broken, on that day, for the erection of a suitable building for the care and preservation of the ordnance, arms, and accoutrements of the volunteers and militia of the District of Columbia, and of the military trophies of the revolutionary amd other wars, and for the deposite of newly-invented and model arms for the military service, toward the building of which proposed armory the late Congress appropriated thirty thousand dollars. It wil. be located on the public grounds in the Seventh Ward. fas Coxcznrt, by the Marine Band, this evening at the President’s grounds, will doubt- «gas be largely attended ; the weather being beautiful, and the love of instrumental melody not having abated in this community.
