EVENING STAR. MILITARY RECEPTION OF THE AMOSKEAG STARK VETERANS. The high honors paid te this gallant corps of the sons of New Hampshire in the Northern cities through whieh they have passed on their way here, but increased the desire t? give them a hearty welcome at the National Metropolis. In Philadelphia, and in Balti- more, more especially, their soldier-li - Lae had been peodaty pee does le per well known social position and devotion . the preservation of the Union, had made them the object of especial attention.

The line was augmented by the “‘Veterans of the War of 1812” in this District, who were Stationed on the right. The thunder of ar- j tillery announced the arrival of the cars, and Cols.

They are all able-bodied, hardy king men, Garyit in 4 ge from thirty-eight to eighty-five, and \ though well fitted to bear the panoply cf war, evidently possess education and refinement » The color company contains Gen. Kiddle, past wheeled into wy age—over sixty—entitlea them to parade with side-arms only. One of the color bearers, Mr. . Gamble, is facetiously said to weigh nearly + four hundred pounds, and to girth eight feet and ahalf. Inthis company we also noticed the chaplain. Rev. Mr. Tillotson, who when called out to speak in Baltimore, observed “that he was like an old clergyman of whom he bad once read, who, being asked to fight, replied that he would not pony fer tofight, but would earnestly pray for those who did. He would never cease to pray for the Veterans, and all others, if they would promise not to call on him to speak.’’ Thinking that many of our readers may have personal friends in the ranks of this fine corps, we give a roster and roll of the officers, privates aud musicians, viz: FIELD AND STAFF. , CE Potier, Colonel, BB Ciller,@.

After the usual interchange of military hon- ors, the column took up its line of march for the White House. The Avenue and streets through which it passed were filled with a \ dense crowd, who enjoyed the fine appearance of the military, listened with delight to “Ane inspiring strains of the Manchester and Wasabi: nm Marine Bands. When the line had been formed, Col. Hickey waited onthe President, who soon re-appeared escorted by the Secretary of War, Marshal Hoover, Adj’t. Gen. Cooper, and other distin- guished gentiemen.

Altogether he is by no means the philosopher Bennet of the Herald would make us believe. The eyes satisfied, the audience settled down tohear.

He then entered upon an expose of the rascalities of the liquor trade—of the man- ufaoture of French brandy from American whiskey, eto. An empty brandy pipe with the Custom House mark upon it would sell any day in New York for five times its value.

Rossery.—On Saturday evening, a gentle- man from Philadelphia, named Clif- ford, while passing the vacant lot opposite the National Theatre, was struck in the po bya slung shot or similar Weapon, and made, ‘or the time, insensensible. Upon recovering, he found his pocket had been picked of his porte monnaie containing a considerable amount of money.
