The Young Guard. Capt. Geo. J. Austin, paraded yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, numbering fifty-one rank and file, attended by the First Regiment Band. They wore their new overcoats, and as they passed down Main street they marched with the regularity and precision of former days. At 12 o'clock they reached Capitol Square, where thousands had assembled to see them, and after going through a variety of evolutions, fired thirteen rounds in front of the Governor's mansion. The firing was excellent, every piece was discharged simultaneously, and it was generally remarked that no company of regulars could have done better. Indeed, the appearance of the Young Guard yesterday was everywhere the subject of compliment. We congratulate the company upon its apparent prosperity. After the Young Guard ceased firing, they returned to their Armory, and were dismissed about 1 o'clock, to make final preparations for their ball at the Central Hotel, last night.

ns, native and adopted, will to-day, no matter what may be the state of the country, derive proud satisfaction in the thought that they live in the land that gave birth to the hero, the patriot and the sage. The day will be appropriately observed by a nearly unanimous cessation of business pursuits, and the usual military parade by our citizen soldiery. At 9 o'clock this morning the spirit- stirring drum and ear-splitting fife will challenge our admiration for the "Young Guard," Capt. Geo. J. Austin; an hour later, and the martial tones of the Armory Bank will summon us to view Capt. Dimmock's well-drilled corps; and at 2 o'clock P. M. citizens and strangers will have the pleasure of seeing the gallant 1st Regiment in all the "pomp and circumstance" attendant on an occasion of the kind. P. S.--From the great annoyance heretofore experienced, it is the earnest desire of the Colonel that the crowd will not press upon the Regiment while on the Square. Upon reference to the Mil

To those who are familiar with the style in which the Young Guard get up their festivals, it is unnecessary to say anything — But to our visitors from the surrounding country, especially the ladies, we may remark that in no single particular is the company forgetful of the requisites of pleasure and comfort. The hotel furnishes plenty of accommodations for a festive occasion of this description, and the arrangements are complete throughout — Wells' Cotillon Band will furnish the music. A gentleman purchasing a ticket for $2.50, has the privilege of inviting two ladie

he resignation of Major Samuel P. Mitchell. During the period in which Major Rady has commanded the Young Guard, his duties have been discharged in a manner that has won the esteem of his company and the approval of the public. This fact was alluded to in felicitous terms by Capt. P. G. Coghian, who made the nomination. Major Rady, in accepting the new post, made a brief address in acknowledgment of the honor does him. The command of the Young Guard, for the present, devolves upon Lieut. Geo. J. Austin, who has for many years been an active and zealous member. Steps are to be taken towards effecting a thorough organization of the Regiment, and the subject is now in the hands of a committee, appointed for the purpose. In view of the present times of peril, it is highly important to place the militia, in a position to render the most efficient service, and we hope the 179th will receive sample encouragement in the present movement.
