possess any such claims it is due to the brave sol

Veterans and the Local Bounty.—The
veteran troops have experienced some diflicultv in
making an assignment to theicreditof any particn-
Jar Ward or sub-district, and also of obtaining the
local bounty. We understand that the Adjutant-
General has issued instructions to Lieut.. Col.
Homford, Acting Assistant Provost Marshal in
Pennsylvania, that in cases where tie muster-in
rolls of veterans re-eiUieting in the field were de
ficient, in not showing the particular district'to
which such men desired to be assigned, the Pro
vost Marshal of the State, at Harrisburg, had fall
authority to prepare duplicate assignment rolls,
on demand being made by any body of veteran
troops so situated, through their commanding
officer. The proper credit will be given through
th® Adjutant-General’s office, on such assignment
rolls—and no difficulty need be apprehended by
veterans, as to givmg credit to any Ward, borough
or township, provided prompt steps are taken by
- their commanding officer, as above Indicated.
Presentation*— The lS3d Regiment P. V.,
Col. Georg. P. McLean, was yesterday presented
with a splendid stand or colors, by the Union
League, under whose auspices the regiment has
been raised. The presentation speech w» mad*
by. Mr- Joseph B- Fry, and Hon. Henry D.
Moore acted as spokesman for the regiment. This
"regiment participwiedin the parade yesterday. It
turned out with full ranks and presented a very
creditable appearance. In our hastily prepared
account of the procession 'his regiment was acci
dentally omitted.
The members of Birgfeld’s Brigade Band yester
day presented to their leader, Mr. Adolph Btrg
feld, a handsome sword, belt and sash. The pre
sentation came off at the Armory ot the Grey Re
serves. Major K. P. Nicholson represented the
donors, and -his address was appropriately re
sponded to by Mr. Birgfeld.’ '
A Splbswd DisriAT—During otir pere
grinations yesterday, we noticed many admirable
displays of flags and other decor&tiors in honor of
Washington’s birthday. Probably the most im
posing exhibition we encountered was that made
by I. E. Walraven,importer and dealer in curtain
materials and window shades. No. 719 Chestnut
Etreet. His store enjoys fine advantages for dis
play, being in the Masonic Hail building, and i
was certainly decked off in a style which attracted
the attention of thousands of those who passed
along this fashionable thoroughfare. The cus
tomers and friends of Mr. Walraven are aware o
his taste and skill in arrangihg effective details o
this character, and the public in general had a
charming illustration in the grand appearance o
his establishment during the celebration of ves
terday.
; Mvrcjeocs Assault— This morning, about
balf.past 4 o’clock, a party ol colored men made a
notoTis demonstration against a tavern at Sixth

thrown at the head of officer John W. Wright
The officer dodged missile, and thus probably
fared his life. John Randolph was arrested unfi&»

taken .before Alderman White, and was held in

OUR WHOLE OOV?NTRY2
ESCAPED FROM RICHMOND. '
A letter from Annapolis to the Baltimore Amt
nr<Fn, s.\ys: Tbe fine steamer Louisiana, of the
Baltimore and Fortress Monroe line, was com
pelled by the great amount of ice m the bay and
river to put into our harbor on Saturday morning
during her trip from trtd Point to yeur city. She
presented a novel appearance while Iving here at
ihe wharf of the Naval Academy, her hull and
immense wheel-house being almost entirely
coated with, thick ice.\ A gang of workmen were
employed with axe*4o cat the ice away, and with
the assistance of streams of hot water fxom the
boilers ol the boat, the task was soon accom
plished.
Among her passenger* were seven Union officers
fonunate enough to escape from the affectionate
attenUons of ihe rebel authorities of I ibby prison,
Richmond, viz : Captain S. D. Caldwell and Lt
Wm. A. Williams, of the 123 d Ohio: Cap:. W. R
Adams and Lieut. E. G. Scott, of the 89th Ohio-
Lieut. E. J Higby, <f the 33d Ohio: and Lient.’
Poster, ot the 3uth Indiana. They were among
the last botch who escaped from Libby, and suet
ceeded in making iheirwav through the rebel lines
as for as Williamsburg, where they were hootiira
bly received and cared for by onr forces. On
then arrival at Fortress Monroe, General Bntler
cheerfully supplied their wanes and tarnished
them With transportation. Col. Walton, the en
terprising proprietor of the City Hotel nere, a Di
rector in the Annapolis Railroad, immediately
ordered a special train on that road for the accom
modation of these heroes, and at ten o’ eloek they
started for W aahmgtcn. 3
THE KINS OF CHARLATANS.
• A recent letter from the Paris correspondent of
the London Times records the deathof an important
public man in Paris. He was a man oi original
genius, such as it was, who leaves no successor
eien in Paris, where you may find anything that
the world affords, either in the way of beauty, of
wickedness or of simple oddity. Ii his reputation
was not European, all Pans knew him, and bowed
at bis pinchbeck .shrine. He wa» self-made and
self-sustaining, and was lord of all wherever lie
appeared. This man’s name was Mangin, and his
appearance is thus described:
• »Thejff«ne« : r 1 as he passes near the Place de la
Madelaine, about 2o’ clock in the afternoon, the
Place de la Bastile, or the Chateau ri’Ean, will
regret that those spots will no more behold that
stately form arrayed in velxct tunic, fringed with
gold, the cuirass burnished like a mirror, .the
sword, the gauntlets, and the glittering casque,
with (he winged serpent surmounted by * the full
and flowing crest. His figure and countenance
were martial. His moustache was of the true Im
perial cut, the extremities well waxed, and stick
ing out at each side like skewers, and the tuft
nearly covered the chin. As he took his stand in
bis open carriage, drawn by two bay horses in
decent harness, hie confidential assistant, ha
bited in similar but less gaudy coetume, behind ,
bixn, with his right-hand (the forefinger of which
displayed a massive gold on his hip, and his
look firm, serene and ihoughtfnl, a murmur used
to rnn round among., the multitude, who bowed
to him as the very king of'charlatans. It was a
gloricus moment, and you saw that he felt it,
when he rose silent and commanding, and ac
cepted with a sort of disdainful humility, the al
legiance of the mass at his feet. 11
This man was a vendor of black lead pencils;'
and for fourteen years followed a method m sell
ing his wares, which throws the humble preten r
sions of such itinerants as the razor-strop man into
the shade, and outshines the efforts even of the
mountebanks sometimes found in romance.
jtfangin went through many vicissitudes before
he finally put on the gotgeons disguise above de
scribed, and put off any native modesty which he
may have once possessed. In his glory he used
to be accompanied by an organ grinder, Verdigris,
whose part in the play was important. Coming
upon the ground in their carriage, patting on their
splendid attire, the organ would strike np and the
crowd collect around the strange pair :
»*Then fiTaugin rose, calm and imposing, from
his throne. He scrutinized the crowd thronging
to his carriage wheels, looked fixedly at some in
dividuals, frowned, and suddenly lowered the
visor of his helmet. This produced the effect in
tended —to excite the impa fence of the multitude
who were burning to hear his opening speech.
After a few minutes’ more coquetry, and the toilet
completed, he raised his finger, and the organ was
silent; he rang a small bell, ady&ficeA to thefroa
