The public hai ‘disappointed in not seeing the out at the ‘morning parade, and therefore felt the more in- terest und pleasure in witnessing their maneuvers in the afternoon. The United States as- sembled and téok position isely a5 been ‘ordered in the morning, the fleld companies form- ing aline ty Pennsylvania avenue, opposite the ‘Center Market, and the foot companies in Four- teenth street, their right resting on Pennsylvania ‘tion was by Cols Brooksand which the programme intended to be carried out in the morning wis observed in all iculars. The three companies, by the cavalry, marehed up the avenue _ Fourteenth street, where they were oe by foot companies beaded by the com- ny Of Sappers and miners, and thus marched hrough the avenue to Sixteenth street, through Sixteenth street to H street, through H street to Seventeenth, and thence to Pennsylvania avenue, entering the western a) of the Executive Mansion. The President of the United States, beg beam BA ~ Bleck, and a bye wae? of other distingvishe stood on the pave- soent in front of the White House, and as the troops passed received the marching salute of the cfficers, the President remaining uncovered the while. The several companies then marched back to the place of formation, the infantry being dismissed and retiring to thetr several quarters. After the le the three field batteries proceeded to fire salutes of thirty-four guns each, at the fol-~ lowtng points : Magruder's battery in Seventeenth street, south of Winder’s Building; Barry’s bat- tery on the mall, south of the Treasury building; avd Griffin’s battery «t the City Hall. The ord- nance troops attached to the Atsenal were not in the lipe, nor were the United States marines at- tached to the?Marine Barrac! ‘Tux BALLS Last NIGHT were all well attended. Ratber too much of a crowd at the Assembl: Rooms; but it is the fate of the National Gant Battalion to have big crowds. Cause—so many good-looking men belong to’em. Withers’ band made excelient music; jadies had no lack of partners for the dance, (nor the gentlemen either;) the night was auspicious; the hall so gaily deco- rated with banners of all nations that not to enjoy one's self would have argued a very fastidious disposition indeed, so everybody did enter upon the pleasures of the occasion with a zest. Beld officers of the militia were well re; during the night by Colonels Middleton, Tait, Davis. Cox, *chwarzeman, and Morgan, Major Waters, Major Wall, and’ others. Quite a lion among the uniforms, as well as with the ladies, ‘was the bandsome Orderly Sergeant (Pierce) of ‘the sappers and miners corps now stationed at the ‘Columbian Armory. The Infantry Battalion had a thoroughly so- clable and enjoyable soiree dansante at their new armory. The new drillreom has been hand- somely fitted up, and makes a ——- rendezvous for the members. The dancing hall is as cozy as bumaa {ngenuity can fashion such a place, and ‘we never saw a ball-room inaugurated by a more lively company of lidies and gentlemen. The music was excellent under Prosperi’s leadership The Federal Rifles also bad a merry time at ‘Franklin Hell. The company was not so numer- ous as at the other balls, but the enjoyment was every whit as great. Good order reigned, and ihe bali was kept up until almost breakfast tim: this morning. The Federal Rifles certainly un- derstand how to get up sociable entertainments of this Kind. Arth’s Band supplied their music, which was good. ‘Tus Union Reorwent Entertainment —After the parade yesterday, Company A, Union Regi- Ment, marched to their rooms in Temperance Hall, and, to their surprise and delight, found a Ddounteous repast prepared for them by the officers _ of the company. After the command “ break ranks—march,’’ they were welcomed to the table. Their appetites having been fully satisfied, a namber of spirited toasts were given for our Union, President Buchanan and Cabinet, the Army and Navy of the United States, the Presi- dent elect, the loyal press of Washington, the Old Dominion, the City of Washi mn, the ladies of the Third Ward, the City of getown, “the hero, patriot, and statesman, General Winfield Scott,’ General Hickey, General Stone. &c., &c Patriotic and bumorous songs were sung by Capt. Kelly, Ist Sergeant Murphy and Seibold. The uartette band of Company A was loudly called pm but their leader, Mr. Atwell, begged the bo pany to excuse them, assome of the band were ¥ it. Phe entertainment went off harmoniously and to the satisfaction of all present. Gen Carrington requests us to state that he Received a beautiful letter, signed ‘- Anxious Dlother,” requesting him to bave no tntoxicating -@rinks at the company dinner, and that her re- gees was regarded. There was nothing to drink vat cold water and weak ale. The drinking was “8 mere matter of form. % DesPeRATE ATTEMPT At AssasstvaTion.—Last desperate attempt was made to assassinate .H. Van Wyck. of New York, as he was ‘oing from the room of Senator King, on Capitol fu tothe National. Mr. Van Wyck left Sena- tor King’s about 1! o’olock, and while passing down the north side of the Capitol grounds he ‘was attacked by three men, one of whom struck bim upon the left side with a large dirk knife, be blade of the knife cut a hole in bis overcoat, ut 1 inches long, aud was dri through a ded copy of the Congressional Globe, and most throogh a large, leathern-covered memo- «fandum book. Mr. Van Wyck knocked his int do en another man go bim knife, and in warding off the blow Mr Wyck received a severe cut upon the hand wasalso knocked down; and baving time got hold of bis pistol, Mr.Van ‘i an one who first attacked him. He was thea senseless by a siung shot in the hands of ird person, and when he had recovered, the were not to be seen. Mr. Van Wyck bed his room about 12 o’clock, and is now jer the medical care of Dr. Lee. Had it not for the paper and memorandum book, Mr. Wyck would have been instantly killed He ia now improving, and, it is hoped, will soon re- cover. * ” More MinstReLsy.—Messrs.

Previously, the em of whether we had apunk enough at the ederal Capital to make a creditable turn out of well drilled officers and men, was a debated one. Fifteen companies of volunteers paraded our streets yesterday, nearly all of them full; all of them well officered, and the entire affair passed off most satisfac’ ~ So much for baving Properand efficient at the head of snch move- ments. Brigadier Bacon, under whose charge the paratle was made, was well supported by Col Tait. of the First Regiment; Col. Davis end Lieut. Col. Schwarzeman, of the Second Regiment; Mejor Wall, General’s Aid; Major Everett, and Brigade Quartermaster Bartholow. Poutce.—Before Justice Donn. —Y esterO— =~ John Pearce was standing in the street talking with some acq aaintances upon the secession topic, and declared that he could ‘‘ whip any d—d se- cossionist.” This aroused the ire of two of the Auxiliery Guards, not in uniform, who were poe ae One of them exclaimed “take the son of a b—b to the watch-house.”” Both seized him by the coliar, and he went to the station. Justice Donn heard both sides of the case, and fally dismissed Mr. Pearce. Johd O'Bryan was arrested wy guardsman West for throwing stones; 15. bee Langley and Thos. William- son were arrested _ Bright for fight- ing in the Seventh Ward; Langley was fined $2 94 Willams $1.94. Ir 1s Important that every person in the city should refer to the list of letters in to-day’s Star, nd juent liste during the stay of t! number of visitors now in the city. The great number of names similar to those of our citizens, have caused Post Office clerks to use great care that no letters be sent out unless the names be per- fectly familiar, and in so doing it cannot be thought strange if the letters of some of our old citizens are advertised. A™MEETING of thecitizens of Wasnington county, held at Burnett’s, Seventh street reed, on Thurs- day afternoon, the 2ist inst., to form ‘a company of cavalry in connection with the militia of the District of Columbia, was organized by the elec- tion of E. J. Middleton, Captain; ‘Allred Ray, Ist Lieutenant; Henry Queen, 2d do; Theodore Mosher, 3d do.; Dr.John C. Fairfax, Surgeon; Jesse B. Haw, Ensign. A Granp Concert IN THe INAUGURATION BALL Room.—Our enterprising neighbor, Metzerott, has, we hear, contracted for the us@of the Inaugu- ration Ball-room, for the parpess of giving a and concert on the night of the 5th of March. je intends to secure the best musical talent pro- curable, and give a concert on a scale of magnifi- cence worthy of the place and the occasion.

Remember his prices are arranged to suit the times. te ‘THEATER.—A greet house last night, and the play of the ‘Hidden Hand,” with Miss Gougen- heiin as “Capitola,” went off with prodigious eclat.

Tue company isa fine one, beiny composed of large, able-bodied Substantial citizens, and the uniform consists of dark pants with stripe, army overcoat and fatigue cap.

The order being given to — arms,” Mr. Coxe stepped forward and a: fords me plessure to be the of the Second Ward in presen’ rou this beautiful gift, the orkimanship of ir hands. The it isa time of intense and painful interest to the patriot. Mr. Coxe then in eloquent terms depicted the unbounded freedom, substantial prosperity, the and plenty which prevailed throughout our lers a few months ago, and said, “butin a moment. as if Providence intended to rebuke our qn this fairestof human Prospects is overcast. No foreign foe could have wrought the change. Those of our own house- hold have done the evil work. Treason and re- bellion, under the specious garb of secession are seeking to mar the plorious handiwork of our fathers.” He then said our country in her hour of peril relies upon her sturdy yeomen, and he was gratified to see igh ee! Georgetown responded to the call. He said there was no stronger sentiment with the soldier than devotion to his flag, and alluded in eloquent terms to the deeds of valor and heroism the triumphaachleved in the shock of battle, or the peacefu irsuits of commerce, by our country’s standard. He re- minded them this fing was the gift of their fair poem freee! and hoped around it od ga of dat Capt. Goddard responded tn eloquent terms, returning the thanks of himself and company to Mr. Coxe, and —— him to the ladies, for their al gift. He alluded to the galaxy of thirty- four stars on the flag, ri there © «re dis- unionists North and South, and said bis company, though composed of men of all political jes, contained none but Union men, and he t ought he would be sustained by them in saying tuat there was not a man in the ranks who would rot shed his blood in defense of his country’s fla:: That symbol of our me a he now held migh be tent and torn in battle and blackened smoke of conflict, but they would still rally under its folds. Capt Goddard spoke at some length, but we are unable to do him justice without making this re toolong The ensign is of a fine but heavy quality of silk, made up as only ladies can do such work. The thirteen stripes are all there, and so are the stars, arrayed on the blue field In a circle, inside of which are theeagle and shield, the eagle bearing in his beak a scroll with the inscription, “Carrington Home Guards.” Altogether, the gift is a beautiful one, and the ee have reason to be proud of it. € hope other ladies here will follow the ex- ample of those of the Second Ward, as they have heretofore given but small encouragement to the military.
