Beker, and containing a party of gentlemen from Washington, who, not finding the Ericeson at the appointed rendezvous, had ran down to meet her. She conveyed the intelligence that Quartermaster Winchester had secured the steamer Mount Vernon to toke the regiment up; and in order to expedite movements, Mr. Richard Yale, the owner, kindly consented to take up three companies on the Collyer. These were acoording'y ombarked, and quartered at the National. The Mount Vernon reached the Ericseon, aud was ready to start by twelve o'clock P. M. of the same evening. fh sho finally did, after making at ineffectual at! on) t toget the Ericsson off, landing the balance of tue regiment in Washington on Friday morsing. /* wes found thet the Ericsson wes stran ied on an oyster ref, and hanetng jaat ‘orward of aid-hip, her bow being several fect out of water at low tide, The detention was a source of creat annoyance to the citizens and military of Washington, who hed made comparatively extensive preparations for the reception—the Light infaatry, Lientenant Tacker; Highlanders, Captain Watt; Union Guards, Licute- nant Donelly; Montgomery Guard, Lieutenant Keleher; President's Mounted Guard, Lieutenant ganuanaireae Lientenant Veitze, and a States Marines, under Sergea Major Robinaoa. ‘The following were regimvatal officers:— Colonel Hickey. ecwmeet Colonel Bacon, ot Peck. Adjutant Henry N. Ober, Thongh the whole force nombered but one hun dred and eeventy men, it evinced a disposition to be hospitable, and certainly the most general disap- pointment was manifested at the non-appearance of the New Yorkers and the necessity for dishanding the forces on the receipt of the intelligence from the Ericsson. As soon as the Seventh had washed the dnst from their eyes and throats, @ goneral rush was made for the New York papers, and none of the New York guests stopping at the hotels were released un- til they disgorged all the newspapers in their pos- session, being the first that had been seen by the regiment since Saturday last. A notification was sent to President Buchanan that the regiment wish- ed tobe reviewed by him, and he immediately sent verbal reply that he would be not only willing but happy to review the Seventh, and would consider himself honored by the visit. Arrangements were accordingly made for the parade, and the following order was issaed:— Ssvawrn Recnamr, ‘ASHINGTON, July 9, 1858. ‘The rej will day for review by: his sy the President of the United States, in full uniform, white Lara without knay 3.

Re- (seen yey line will be formed in front of the National jotel at half two o’clock. By order. A. DURYEB, Colonel. Lazenav, Adjutant. ‘The members of the Seventh were thus released be- tween breakfast time and the hour of parade, for the purpose of visiting the interesting points in the city, of which opportunity they availed themselves to the fullest extent. Some explored the Capitol grounds and buildings, rambling through the labyrinthian passages of the new extensions, peering into the offices, occupying the members and speaker's seats in the new House o/ Representatives, admiring some of the paintings in the rotunda, criticising the fres- oes and ornamentation of the new buildings, climb- ing to the top of the cupola, (to the great strain of their calves,) inspecting the massive construction of the new dome, and behaving altogether like good republicans very mach at home. A fewstrolled into the Patent, Treasury, Interior, State, and other de- partments, takin a peep at the Cabinet. Many found thely way to the office of the Master of the Rolls, W. W. E. Rese, an old New Yorker, who politely exhibited the various obiects of interest in his department. Among these were the original draft of the Declaration of Independence, the engrossed copy of the constitution, the papers found in the possession of Andre, the proceedings of the court martial, and his touching letter praying that he might not die apon agibbet; the minutes of the constitutional conven- tion, and various other objects of intense interest to the scholar and patriot, or historian. Not a few called upon Gen. Cass, and found him as pleasant and sociable as he has the universal credit of being, rendered, probably, additionally interesting from the favorable termination of the great British outrage question. Gen. Cass looked hale and hearty enough to give many more rebuffs to British aggressions. ‘The uniforms of the Seventh could be distinguished in all parts of the city. On footor in carriages they were determined to make the most of their few hours leisure; and they did so most effectually. To be sure they were not very partial to the swarms of flies, or the clouds of dust, or the long walks which it required to get from one point of interest to another; but by dint of perseverance and miat juleps they did a great deal of exploration in a very short time. In the midst of the general enjoyment, a general sadness prevailed when it was announced that the body of a member of the National Guard had been found floating in the river at Richmond; then an- other despatch was received stating that the name of the member was Laurens Hamilton of the Sixth company; and another stating that the remains would be taken to New York for interment, escorted by a Richmond company. Mr. Hamilton had been missed after leaving Richmond, but it was supposed that in the hurry he had been left behind. He had been brought on board sick, bat had so far reco- vered as to beable to walk about. He may have be- come deranged and walked overboard, or been pushed off in the bustle. Ho was a grandson of Alexander Hamilton, one of the signers of the De- claration of Independence, a second cousin of Hon John Cochrane, and was a great favorite in his com pany. He was a graduate of Colambia College. THE RAVIEW RY THR PRESIDENT AND CABINET. ‘The announcement that the regimental line would be formed in front of the City Hall drew an immense concourse af spectators at that point, to witness tho formation of the line—a novel spectacle for the citi- zona of Washington. In spite of the broiling sun, the City Hall steps, the sidewalks, and surrounding buildings were crowded with spectators, while the avenues thither swarmed with the citizens eager to obtain a view of the visiters. As the companies marched to the ground frem their various quarters, they were universally admired. Though the Wash- ington military did not parade, owing to the fatigue of the previous day and the uncertainty of the arrival of the guests, they were represented by the captains of the different companies, and Colonel Hickey, Lieutenant-Colonel Bacon, Major Peck, and other regimental officers. The line was soon formed, and after a few exercises of the manual, which drew applause from the usually quist Washingtonians, the line of march was taken up for the President's mansion, via ’ennsylvania averiae. The crowd was dense, and in some cases inter. fered with the movements of the regiment; but ag the curiosity was complimentary, and the Washing: ton police could not be expected to have much ex- perience in such matters, the inconvenience had to borne patiently. It being mid-day, the heat was almost insufferable, and when the men arrived in front of the President's mansion they seemed ready to drop. The absence of any police arrangements rendered it necessary to mount a guard from their own number, however unpleasant might be the duty. The line was soon for review, and after the Washington officers had taken a position in front, on the sidewalk, a general stir announced that the President was coming, and soon he was seen heading the Cabinet and invited quests of distino- tion with stately step, making his way to the point fronting the centre of the line, assigned him for the review. He was the picture of a democratic President, and was attired in a pair of thin light blue pants, white vest, black frock coat, light cravat, and black beaver hat. As he took up luis position, the order to “ present arms” was given, and the President was received with the honors dae ‘is position, being three rolls of the drums and flow rishes of trumpets, the Colonel and other officers saluting. The regiment was then arrayed “to the reor epen order,” and the President passed down and up the line on a tour of inspection, accompanied by the Secretaries of State, Treasury, War, Navy ard Interior, the Postmaster General, and Attorney Goneral, military officers of the State, Mayor Town- vend, Acting Adjatant General, Gen. Ward B. Bur- nett and others. The National Guard band played “ Hail to the Chief” during the route, so that the President made the circuit in quick time. Hisstately form, at the head of the company, as he stepped accurately to the mnsic as a veteran soldier, could be easily distingnished. He was offered an umbrella to shield him from the san, but like a true soldier he declined. The column was formed by companies, twen- ty-two front, en the return of the inspection party, and passed in review at common time, retarning four abreast, and repassing by companies at quick time. When Colonel Duryee gave the order,“ Batta- lion—halt!” the promptness with which the order was obeyed elicited a general hum of astonishment, and, as at the order “front,” the line became as straight as a die, the applause reased to tho cheering polut; but, az at the order “ ground atme,” the muskets came down with one thump, a rous instances near the writer manifested itself by muttered exclamations between the set teeth, often profane, but always expressive. Much amusement ‘was created, as at the erder to “right about face— march,” the whole line scattered the crowd between them and the fence, and pressed many close to the railings until the moment of the order to “halt.” It was gencrally considered but a fair balance to the in- commodious arrangements for the review, or the ab- sence of any arrangements, on account of which the most ragged republicans flocked in large numbers to the vicinity of the Prosident and other distinguished guests. At the conclusion of the review the men stacked their arms, and, accompanied by their offi- cers, marched into the celebrated East room of the White House, where President Buchanan had ex pressed his willingness to receive them. The offi- cers, commissioned and non-commissioned, were first introduced by name by Colonel Duryee, after which the men passed up in file, each shaking hands with the President without introduction. The President made no special remark, but his cordial grasp and pleasant countenance denoted the gratification which he felt at meeting the members of the “Seventh,” whose excellent appearance aad drill be had repeatedly praised to their officers. He, how- ever, did make one general remark of note when the first privates came up. He said, “Gentlemen, [ am glad to see you. I was nothing bat one of the rank and file myself when I was in the service.” On being introduced to the acting chaplain of the regiment, Mr. Weston, the President said: “I did uot think there was any necessity for a chaplain to keep order in thisregiment.” After all had heen received the President spent some moments in social conver. sation with the officers, and soon retired, on the plea of ill health, After taking a superficial view of the White House, the guests left and the regiment soon formed and marched to their quarters for supper. VISIT TO THE TOMB OF WASHINGTON. Mr. Richard Wallach of the Washington and Alex. andria Steamship Company, kindly tendered to the regiment the use of two boats, the Thomas Collyer aud Mount Vernon, to convey the regiment to Mount Vernon, which was gratefully accepted. Colonel Duryee having become slightly ill, by hard duty, the command on this occasion devolved upon Lieutenant Colonel Marshall Lefferts, who ordered the men to be ready to parade in full uniform, with side arms only, for the occasion, The fatigue had been so great, and the weather was 30 extremely warm, that numbers of the Guard were unable to walk in the ranks, but went in fatigue dress in conveyances to the boats. The Mount Ver- non, Captain Reynolds, left Washington at a quarter to six P. M., and the Thomas Collyer left Alexandria shortly after her. The late hour of starting was a matter of general regret, but the delays were con- sidered unavoidable, and it was calculated that the visit would be over by daylight. The distance is about twenty miles, and in little over an hour and @ half the company was landed oa the wharf at Mount Vernon—the smaller steamer, on account of the shoal water, being obliged to take off the pas- sengers of the other. DESCRIPTION OF MOUNT VERNON. Moont Vernon is situated on the southern bank of the Potomac, about twenty miles below Washing- ton, nearly opposite Fort Washington, an old fortifi- cation which was blown up during the war of 1812, on the approach of the British fleet. ‘The casual observer would hardly notice the spot in passing on the river, as the luxuriant foliage and thick forest trees nearly obscured the house from vision. The boat lands at a dilapidated wharf, jut ting about thirty feet into the stream, and seeming reedy to fall at every step wheu crowded. There are two paths leading to the tomb. The older one is much washed away by the rains and is not the most direct route, being morse in the path tothe house. The other is a plank walk of wooden boards, loosened by age and frequent use, leading directly from the landing up the hill to the tomb, through thick foliage and alongside a little ravine, The tomb is on a little hill facing the river, and bat about a handred yards from the bank, the same ridge extending some distance either way. On the left of the walk, as you approach the tomb, stands a sinall wooden building, which you are informed is for the use of the daguerreotypist who alone is alowed to take pictures here; further up, on each side of the tomb, are marble shafts, erected to other members af the Washington family, whose remains are likewise deposited in the vault. The immediate locality of the tomb presents a much neglected appearance— the grass and foliage being much damaged by the many visiters. The tomb iteelf is on the side of the hill, built of plain brick, about fifteen feet high by twenty wide. The marble sarcophagus which con- tains the remains of Washington can be plainly een through the large double-barred iron gates, and at its side that of his wife. The ceilings and walls of the interior are soiled by the water soaking through, and the plastering is falling off in many places, The dust covers the sarcophagus, so that the inscription on the sarcophagus can hardly be read, and the following inscription over the doors is all that would denote to the casual observer the lo" cation of the tomb of the Father of his Country:— Grernat Gronor Wasnrvotow. pecccerenecreerertes r6ebet pore rerece A stone panel over the door bears the following inscription :— POOROO LE LPOOOODEDOLELELE DD LPOOLEPPLOLIDESELODOLE DE 1 am the resurrection and the life, He that be- is in me, thouga he were dead, ras ecnee nent reehs nee Within tats enciosare Rent be remaing POLOPOLOLEREDEOLEDODODEDE PEDPDOUPLOLOOLELELEDE HE This vault was erected in 1831, jost thirty-four years after Washington's death, and on the spot de- signated in his will as the “foot of what is com- monly called the vineyard enclosure.” The old vault near by, which was then abandoned, is now but bare ruined walls, into which the visiter may enter, The new vault is about twelve feet high, arched over the top, and the brick walls are faced with free stone. The sareophagns is cnt from Pennsylvania marble, and is eight feet long, feet wide and two feet high, and rests plinth, which projects about four inches from base. Tho top is of Italian marble, bears, sculptured in bold relief, the arms and signia of the United States, with the following scription near the foot:— WASHINGTON. OOO ROLOLEDOLE POLEDELE DELL OED PEDOLEOOLEDELEDD: The body of Martha, the wife of Washington, lies in @ sarcophagus of a similar form, and is on the lef of the vanit as you face the entrance, both being plainly visible through the iron gate, At the back ‘wall two iron doors are seen, which lead to the vaults in which are deposited other members of the family. The walls of the vault are somewhat cracked. The grass in the victhity is growing wild, and there were evidences that cows had recently pastared in the immediate vicinity, so that, whether from a desire to leave the place without molestation from the sacredness of itscharacter or not, it bears 4 sem blance of neglect which at first strikes the eye anfa- vorably. Winding along a deep ravine, the same path grow: ing apparently more dilapidated as it continues, leads up a steep hill about a hundred yarda farther on, and requiring the visiter to step carefully, lest he fall down the steep.

This is Mount Vernon as it appeared to the writer in the hurried visit of but a few moments on the occasion of the visit of the Seventh regiment National Guard on Friday last. his head, and gazed upon the tomb in silence as he paseed. Some stooped reverentially, and plucked blades of grass or wild flowers, or little pebbles or bits of the loose plastering, as mementoes of the spot hallowed to the citizens of America. Wheneach had taken a passing view, the company formed in a semi-circle about the tomb, the officers and citizens ing the river, Its ample dimensions strike you at once, and you picture in your mind the home of the Virginia planter, built with an eye ever wakefnl to the demands of hospitality. A row of heavy wooden Corinthian columus fronts the house and help to sup- port the overshadowtug roof, the lawn is clean shaven, and glistening through the tree tops the Potomac may be seen, cither up or down the river. As you enter the hall, the furniture which belong: ed to Washington may be seen arranged at the side.

The mansion THE CEREMONIES AT THE TOMB. As the Guard possed up the walk each uncovered being nearest, and after an impressive silence the stillness was broken by the Mayor of Richmond. Mayor Mayo, in a voice husky with emotion, said he had not expected to address them. He had beon born in Virginia, and yet for the first time in his life he stood before the tomb of the Father of his Country. The occasion was such that he could say nothing to them. They were now upon ground that was sacred and hallowed. It was the common ground of every American citizen. It was no longer property; it could not be property; it was national. It became all American citizens to come there as to the American Mecca. All who loved freedom, and wished to worship at the shrine of liberty, should come there. He could not address them further, but would give way to another who he knew would speak in more fitting terms than he possibly could. Rev. Dr. WseTon, the temporary chaplain of the regiment, then came forward and spoke as follows, in a clear and sonorous, yet affecting tone:— Narionat Guanps—I have been requested by pected officers to offer up a here at ie aie Deeks way. oy omens: Tas to with @ very few remar!

Notonly will millions of bere to our Mecca, but they will The reverend gentleman closed with an appro- priate prayer, and after a lingering glance at the tomb, the company separated, and took the route to the mansion. Mr. John A. Washington, a nephew of the illustrious dead, the present owner of the e+ tate, was on the ground, and was introduced to the principal personages present. Under his guidance, those who had not preceded, took the route to the house of Washington, and hastily observed the pro- minent objects of interest. Mr. Washington's slaves could be seen standing about, and not a few sid canes and other mementoes to the visiters, The steamboats were soon resumed, the whole visit having occupied about an hour, and terminat- ing just as the shades of night were falling. The hotels were reached shortly after ten, and after ne_ ceesary refreshment, the men retired to prepare fot the early departure of the morning, which had been fixed for 5 A. M. A MEMENTO OF MOUNT VERNON. Mr. J. Cratchett, proprietor of a factory for the manufacture of mementoes of the neighborhood of Mount Vernon, notified Col. Duryee, through Col- Hickey, that each member of the Seventh would be presented by him with some article commemorative of the resting place of the immortal Washington, MORE HOSPITALITY. On inquiring at Brown's Hotel, at Washington, for the bill against the regiment, the following letter was received :— Brown's Horer, Wasmnotow, Joly 9, 1968.

Of course the famous Beau Hickman, the gentle- man £0 noted for being well dressed and never work- ing—who is always so anxious to show you the city and Lorrow a half, was en hand on this occasion and succeeded not unfrequently in doing his victint out of a “half ora quarter,” by the most persistent encouragement of a desire to get rid of him, which cannot easily be done. He never moves on under—~ “a half or a quarter.” MOBB PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS UNDER DIFFICULTIES, Though large bodies are reputed to move slowly, the Regiment had risen, breakfasted and reached the depot within fifteen minutes after the appointed time, or about a quarter past five o’clock. There were eighteen cars and but one old fashioned engina to start. them. Now, five iundred men with their arms and accoutrements, and one handred other men, with the baggage and cars require soma little force to move them. But it was found that the engineer had overrated his power and could not budge the train an inch without getting up mora steam, which kept the train back so long that, on accoont of their being but a singla track, two hours more were lost waiting for au express train to pass. The boys, however, had become too much accustomed to delay to feel at all angry, and immediately set to work pitching quoita and playing dack. Perhaps some city folks don’t know how to play duck. It is done in this way:— Somebody must first be “It” and provide a big stone, having on it a smaller stone, which is called his “duck.” The others fire stones called their “ducks” at his “duck,” and if they knock it off all can go home provided they are not caught by “It,” after he has put his “duck” on. If “It” has hig “duck” on and catches another man away front “taw ” going home or to “taw” with his “ duck,” he “tags” or strikes him, and'the other has to ba “Tt.” It will be perceived that that this is a scien* tific game, and likewise affords some opportunity for displaying physical energy. The two hours thus paseed away almost imperceptibly, and after a dreary ride of two hours they got into Baltimore, DRY MARCH THROUGH BALTIMORE. The Seventh was expected in Baltimore at a quare ter-before seven, but did not arrive before a quarters past nine. The Light Artillery, Company K, Capt. French, stationed at Fort McHenry and commanded by Capt. French and Lieutenants Gillem and Robin- son, and the Baltimore City Guard, Capt. Joshua P. Warner, numbering fifty men, were drawn up ready to receive the New Yorkers and escort them to the Camden depot. They formed in line on Eutaw street, and the Seventh after forming regimental ling a short short distance below, marched by—being ro ceived with due honors. The Seventh then drew up in line after passing the escort, and presented arms, and the Baltimoreans repassed them and took tha right of the line, en route for the Philadelphia depot. The Paltimore City Guard uniform was black, trim- med with gilt, and bearskin caps. The rank and file wore epaulettes of gilt, mixed with black. They marched in platoons—twelve frout—aud made @ very fair appearance, though even their narrow fron was not kept anything like as good as the ten front platoons of the Seventh—just half their asual num- ber—which would be too wide for the carriageway of Baltimore. The route taken was through Eutaw, Baltimore and South High streets, to the depot of the Philadelphia cars—a distance certainly of over two miles. The men were already jaded with tha fatigues of the past week, and this march througts the broiling sun was such torture that many of them were obliged to fall out of the ranks and take to the sidewalk. Some flocked around the nearest pumps, or asked at private dwellings for a draught of water, and one benevolent grocerymart at the corner of Fawn street, seeing their condition, fixed up a pail of iced lager and placed it at their disposal. Those who stuck to the ranks suffered terribly, and one poor fellow was sun struck and had to be carried to the train, where, for some time, bis life was despaired of. The promptoesa witlz which the train left after their arrival, gave theng hardly an opportunity to get a drink of water. They would have given any price for refreshmenta ofany kind. At the various stations, however, the water jugs were replenished, and finally the whola company had become somewhat recruited. Mr. Wm. Roberts, of the Philadelpnia, Baltimore and Washington Railroad, contribated much by his are rangements to expedite the trip and make it com- fortable. At Havre de Grace an excellent collation was spread on the boat, though there was hardly enough to satisfy all. At Wilmington the Seventh was loudly cheered, and greeted with an artillery salute. RECEPTION AT PHILADELPHIA. The Philadelphia National Guard had made exten- sive preparations to receive the Seventh, and wera much echagrined when they learned that they had not time to stop. In spite of the lateness of tha hour they stood their ground, and as the train came up greeted the Seventh with loud cheers. Lieute- nant Colonel Wilhelm, of the First brigade, and Cap- tain Lyle, of the Philadelphia National Guard, wait- ed upon Colonel Daryee in the cars, and pressed hime to stay with his command and partake of a colla« tion which had been spread at the New Armory; buts Colonel] Duryee was inexorable. He said the mem were too tired, and he would not take them im New York on Sunday, bat expressed, on behalf of the regiment, a grateful appreciation of the kindness intended, but impressed the necessity of proceeding at cars for the purpose of escorting the New Yorkera to the depot for New York. The Philadelphia National Guard is a fine body of men, numbering one hundred and fifty muskets. The dress is light drab drees coats, with brass buttons, aud epaaletted with pendant acorns, symbolical of strength, whita North river.
