The New Orleans Washington Artillery, Col. J. B. Walton, were to have had a magnificent drill yesterday evening near Howard's Grove. preparatory to the departure of the battalion for the seat of war. Col. Walton's command embraces about 350 men, 12 cannon--first rate articles — and 150 horses. They are in a state of efficiency bordering on the perfect. When they start they will, no doubt, go up the Central Railroad to aid Gen. Beauregard. It was understood yesterday evening that President Davis was to have witnessed the evolutions of the corps. Military men say that the Washington Artillery are all that can be desired.
