Review at Washington, July 4.--The review of the New York Volunteers, twenty-three thousand in number, was a grand and imposing sight.
The brave fellows looked well, marched well, and to the eye of the most critical, as well as of the superficial observer, gave evidence of such soldierly qualities as well substantiates their claim to be considered as of the best fighting material in the world.
They have, too, some palpable marks of having had a rough time of it lately; despite the donning of their best apparel, the furbishing of arms, and the general scouring process undergone for the occasion, many a little tell-tale in the shape of well-used raiment, tarnished trimmings, and battered accoutrements, slyly gave out certain hints of hardship and exposure, and revealed to the uninitiated a goodly portion of the elephant that stalks about military camps.
But their elastic steps, and cheerful, sun-burned faces bespoke good health, and gave token that they were, like Mark Tapley, makin

The Fourth of July in Hilo.--A. correspondent of the Honolulu Advertiser gives the following account of the celebration of Independence Day at the Sandwich Islands:--
Hilo, Hawaii, July 6, 1861.
Mr. Editor :--The Union, it must and shall be preserved!
Well, that's just the way we feel up here in Hilo.
So keep it before the people.
I cannot keep silent, therefore, and must blow a little about our own patriotism in this part of the King's domains, for we are not content that the world should give credit to the Honoluluans alone for loyalty to the United States Government, as expressed by their American residents.
There are not many of us up here, it is true, but what few there are, felt their souls glow with a new animation as the day approached which gave birth to American liberty, and each one felt that he owed, at this particular time, a duty to his country, by allowing others to read in his acts his devotion to her glorious Constitution, and his readiness to assist, sho

The Fourth of July, South.--As particularly noticed in yesterday's Picayune, there bids fair to be a very spirited celebration of the Fourth of July.
Besides the military doings which we have mentioned, there will be an entire suspension of business, and the holiday will be universally kept, as it is right and proper it shoulFourth of July.
Besides the military doings which we have mentioned, there will be an entire suspension of business, and the holiday will be universally kept, as it is right and proper it should be.
Camp Lewis will be the centre of attraction, beyond doubt.
The facilities for going thither and returning at all hours of the day and evening, by the Carrollton Railroad, will make it a popular resort.
There will be the usual parades, evolutions, and reviews, that will be well worth witnessing.
The target firing and ca ill observe the anniversary of American Independence as a holiday, as it ever has done from the beginning of its career.
There will be no issue thereof after that of this morning, until the afternoon of Friday, thus enabling all connected with the office an opportunity of enjoying the day without stint.--N. O. Picayune, July 4.

116. Eighty-five years ago: a Ballad for the Fourth of July. by A. J. H. Duganne. Oh, how the past comes over me-- How the Old Days draw nigh! Tramping along in battalia-- Marching the legions by, With the drums of the Old Time beating, And the Old Flag waving high! And down from the mountain gorges, And up from woodlands low, Mustering for Liberty's conflict-- Eighty-five years ago!
Out of the streets of Lexington I see the red-coats wheel; And, back from the lines of Bunker, Where Continentals kneel And pray, with their iron musketry, I see the red-coats reel; And, reddening all the greensward, I mark the life-blood flow From the bosom of martyred Warren-- Eighty-five years ago!
Hearken to Stark, of Hampshire: “Ho, comrades all!” quoth he-- “King George's Hessian hirelings On yonder plains ye see!
We'll beat them, boys!
or Mary Stark A widow this night shall be!” And then, like a clap of thunder, He broke upon the foe, And he won the battle of Bennington-- Eighty-five
