Fivixe Artitiery Exercises.—Between six and —— o'clock evening wasa stirring an exciting time on the Washing- ton National Monamest i . It haying been announced that the United States Artillery would there manceuvre, seve- tal thousands of persons—men, women, and children, of both sexes and nearly all were duly in attendance. The base of the Monument was thick with human who had there taken their positions to be out of harm’s way, and the roofs of the small frame buildings on the premises were crowded with men and boys, from which elevation they had & fine view of the exciting and novel military evolutions on the beautifal and level green spread out before them. All were evidently highly delighted with the activity and accuracy with which the difficult and novel drill was performed. Three rounds of the battery of four brass pieees were repeat- edly fired within a minute; while during the next, the guns and those who manceuvred them were borne away and placed in position, some distance from the scene of the last cannonade, and again, with wonderful celerity, made ready tor action. The horses, as well as the men, seemed perfectly to understand the sounds of the bugle, by which, in addition to the voice of the commander, the movements were con- toolled. The boys, and men, too, who had gathered near the firing parties, stimulated by curiosity to get a good and satisfactory view, were again aud again compelled to seamper, as the horses aud their artillery, and buman attachments, flew from one part of the grounds to another, in the performance of their evolutions. But tor the leg activity of the last named descrip- tion of lcokers-on, some accident might have occurred; for in peace as well as in war orders in the military department must be obeyed; and therefore the a:tillery dashed on, accord- ing to the command, unmindful of human ob- structions. Every body was doubtless convinced of the rare efliciency of an army wing of the charac- ter of the flying artillery. The dreadful exe- cution by this means during the Mexican cam- paign has placed it among the most successful means for destroying life. As the design of war is to kill people by whotesale, (however much we may deprecate such appalling confliets,) the purpose can be effectually accomplished, on a tairtield, by the artillery, who fly from point to point, selecting their own marks for the fury of their big guns The corps is under the command of Lieut Mevchart, and numbers seventy-five mon. EVENING STAR. ec LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. » Be Frrixo Arrittrry.—The following communication from the chairman of the com- mittee of arra: nts for the national cele- bration of the Fourth. has reference to the failure of this troop to join the . He corrects our ert rae ag to the cireum- sances under which they were ordered hither, which arose from the fact that we knew that there were previously no United States troops ja Washington to fire the usual national salute oo Rete = The — left in issue is only that of t ety of permitting the troops of the United Rates to participate in the affair, after one portion of our fellow- sens had determined to make it a ‘y affair by getting upa rival celebration to be attended by those who act with them politically, We Yake it for granted that this was the only rea- son oe Secretary of War countermanded the order which we now understand to have been given before the Know Nothings pub- lished their purpose of getting up a celebra- tion of their own. : Mr. Editor: In your paper of this evening @ yousay. “The United States Fiying Artillery, that had been ordered to Washington to fire the usual n&tional salute at noon, did not take any other part in the ceremonies of the day, as had been expected by those concerned in making the rrangements for the national celebration. A standing army regulation makes it the duty of United States troops, wherever they may be, and however engaged. at noon of the Fourth of July to fire a military salute in honor of the occasion. As there are no United States troops orseamen here accustomed to manage field pieces or other cannon, the Light Artillery were ordered on from Fort McHenry for that duty, which they performed. Many of oui fellow-citizens seemed much disappointed be- cause they failed to join in the procession. It ‘ struck us as highly unproper that they should do so, as our Know Nothing fellow-citizens having determined to have u celebration of their own, the original one was necessarily at- tended by but one political party. All persons of discretion will at once perceive the impro- riety of ordering or permitting troops of the Batre Staces to participate in any thing smacking of political party.” Upon reading this paragraph one is necessa- rily "ted to the conclusion, that the United States Flying Artillery was ordered here sole/y to fire a salute at noon because there were no troops or seamen in our city competent to per- form such a duty; and that the committee of arrangements for the celebration of the na- tionail anniversary had introduced these troops into their programme without authority. In justice to the committee of arrangements I deem it incumbent on me to ussert, most poe- sitively, thatthese troops were ordered to the city of Washington solely to participate with the citizens in the celebration of the 4th of July, and for no other purpose—they did not come here either to tire u salute at noon, as is customary, or ‘‘on & trip of pleasure’’—and that the committee of arrangements were fully authorized to include them in the programme, and fire morning. noon, and night. Why this ‘a3 not done, others, who can, may answer If (when application was made for the Artil- lery to be ordered to this city for the purposes mentioned) the request of the committee bad / been refused. or even if the committee had + been apprised earlier than 9 o'clock p. m., on the 3d inst., that the artillery would not unite in the celebration and give the salutes, they would have made other provisions, and they would have been saved much trouble and no little mortification I shal! not attempt to counteract your views in regard to the propriety of United States troops uniting with civilians, in celebrating the fourth of July, or apon the azmy regzula- trens on this subject—but this I must say that it would have been far more agreeable to the committee tu have been made aware of these opinions and regulations before they were induced to believe the United States Piying Artillerg would unite in the procession I disclaim, in making this statement, any dis- respect, or a desire to impute improper motives toany one. My object ts to correct the infer- ences to be drawn from the paragraph in your r, and, at the sume time, to jastify my Rifow citizens, as well as myself, in the part we have enacted in endeavoring to celebrate oar National Anniversary ia a national man- wer, without reference or respect to individuals or to party Hoping you will receive what I have said, in the spirit in which it is meant, 1 am, very respectfully, yours, &c., Taos.
