by Gen. Huger and staff. A more imposing military display was never witnessed in this section, and the accuracy of movements, precision and promptness in drill, exhibited the highest degree of proficiency and skill on the part of officers and men, and excited the admiration of the immense concourse of spectators present. The movements of the Light Artillery, Capt. Grimes, and the salute fired by that company at meridian, elicited special complimentary notices from Gen. Huger as well as others. After the arduous duties of the field, the brigade retired, the regiments and companies, with many invited guests, to their several quarters for rest and refreshment. In the city, the National Greys, Capt. John E. Deans, and Norfolk County Patriots, Capt. William Etheredge, made a parade in the morning, passing through most of the principal streets. With this exception and a salute of fifteen guns from the good old ship United States, no other public notice was taken of the day.
