After the rendering of several airs from the band, and repeated calls for him again, he appeared, and said: Gentlemen Mr business is not to speak. The time for speaking has passed.

I mnst now try and do -something." Afte which, repeated calls were made for theband to play "the Star spangled Banner," which they did, nd, when the crowd were about to cheer, the Major appeared on the balcony, and motioned them to stop, which they did, and, at the conclusion, there was such an outburst of enthusiasm as has not been heard in iwt iuout jvniw, lit nuiiu ilia ytua foremost. The band then played Yankee Doodle, durinp the performance of which the Major danced with joy, and seemed to take tho utmost interest. At this point, a gentleman appeared on the balcony, and proposed as sentiments: 1. Kentucky We honor ber because she holds the ashes of the sage of A shlnnd. Cheers.

2. We honor her because she has furnished the hero of Fort Sumter Major Anderson. Cheers.1 3. We honor her because, despite the efforts of demagogues, she remains true to the Union." Cheers. A voice "That remains to bo Seen." The vast assemblage present, peeing there Was no chance for a speech from Major Anderson, called for several gentlemen, and they were addressed by Qen.

Runyon, of the New Jersey regiment, who, after stating that New Jersey, together with (he North and West, would remain true to the Union, addressed" the volunteers, saying that in a few days they would be called upon to cross the Potomac: cheers from members of various regiments and that they would bo called upon to take Alexandria, Norfolk, and Richmond cries of That's the ticket aud that he expected they would not be required to stop until jbey took Charleston: but, before that time should arrive, hundreds, aye, thousands, would bo flocking to the standard of the stars and the stripes. Be further said, that this was to be a war, the end of which was to establish the power of the Government over all the seceded'States. Messrs. Vaughn, Vinton of Wisconsin, and Davies, addressed the assemblage; afterwhich, Mr. Dickinson of New York made some very appropriate remarks, and being asked his name by some one in the crowd, said his name was Dickinson, but not Daniel who wished be had been born in Virginia Instead of New York and after a few remarks by Mr.

Baun of Kansas, formerly of South Carolina, who recommended that they hold up the hands of the men of the seceded States who were in favor of the Union, the meeting adjourned. Colohel Conns, or Iowa, and tub Seventh New York Reoiment Dress Parade Re- Tiew the Sechetart or Wau. Yesterday afternoon, the seventh New York regiment bad a grand dress parade at Camp Cameron, and were reviewed by Secretary Cameron, assisted by Adjutant General Thomas and Major McDowell. Never did this justly famous regiment appear to better advantage. The largo assemblage present, as also the secretary nnil'his stall, ox-pressed the greatest gratification with the review.

At the close of the review, Colonel Curtis, of Iowa, who was an activo member of the Military Committee of the last Congress, being present, was invited by Colonel Lefferts to visit the quarters of the eighth company, which is tho senior ono of the regiment, and of which he was, on Monday Inst, elected an honorary-member. The company, numbering 137, being drawn np in line, Colonel Curtis wus introduced to them by Colonel Leffertsin a very appropriate speech, in which he spoko of the colonel having joined them at Philadelphia, and accompanying them all tho way through their fatiguing march to this city, and of the valuable service be rendered to the regiment from his long experience in the field as an engineer. In concluding his remarks, he pinned upon thelappel of the colonel's coat the piu worn by tho company. Then went up cheer after cheer from the company, accompanied' with a tiger, which fairly made the welkin ring. Colonel Curtis then stepped forward, and in a neat speech thanked them for the honor conferred upou him, and for the complimentary manner in which it had been douc, and assured them that he should bo with them whether in war or peace.

Tho company was then dismissed, aud each member rushed forward to grasp the hand ol the gallant colonel with a soldier's grasp. The following is tho correspondence between Colonel Curtis nud Colouel Lefferts Headquarters 7tu N. Y. Reu't, Vamp Cameron, Mount Pleasant, Washington, May 1, 1BG1.

Distressing Homicide A Soldier, Shot bt A PoLicr.MAV. We have this morning to record a most distressing affair which occurred about 9J o'clock last night, resulting in the shooting and killing of young man by the name of John H. Huwnid, a privato iu the Metropolitan Rifles. It appears, from what we have been able to learn, that young Howard, iu company with several other soldiers, was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct on tho Island, and were being taken to the Central guardhouse by Policemen Frederick A. Neitzc, Thomas Holden, Samuel Byer, and Richard Howe, by way of Four and-nhalf street bridge and Pennsylvania avenue.

When opposite Brown's Hotel, Howard attempted to escape from the officer hnvlng him in charge, and, breaking the hold of the officer, rau across the street in the direction of the hotel. The officers all started in pursuit, following him across the street. Howard, seeing them in pursuit, endeavored to conceal himself behind some hacks standing In front of the hotel but just as he got round between one of them and the curb, a pistol was fired from one of the officers, and he fell dead, without uttering a single word. Officers Byer, Howe, and Neitze, immediately proceeded to the Central Guard-houso and gave themselves up and officer Holden was also arrested soon after, and taken to the Guardhouse, where a preliminary examination was had be fore Justice Thompson and Captain Goddard, revealing the above facts. Pistols wero found upon all the officers, but it could not be determined who fired tho fatal shot.

Upon tho conclusion of the examination, the four officers were all committed to jail to await a further examination which will be held this morning. The deceased is a young man, about twenty-th'rco years of age, a carpenter by trade, and resided on Fourth street, between and M. He was a great favorite with the members of his company, and much liked by all who knew him. The affair created the most intense excitement in tho vicinity where it occurred, particularly among the military, many of whom were in favor of lynching the parties charged with the homicide; but cooler counsels prevailed, and the law was allowed to take its course. Tub TwELrrn Reoimekt Franklin Square.

The twelfth regiment, whobave been quartered in the Assembly Rooms and old Trinity Church since their arrival in this city, marched out to their newly-erected quarters yesterday morning and took up their abode. On the northern portion of the square, fifty-four buildings bavo been erected for the accommodation of the men. They are arranged in clusters of six, with a space between them. The men have given names to. tho lanes between the houses to suit their fancy, as well as to the different buildings.

The lanes have had such names as the following given to them Ryder avenue, Rue de Boyle. Fifth avenue, and Third street. Most of the houses have also received names from tbe occupants among them wo notice the following Ryder House, Hotel de Union, Continental Hall, Independence House, Butterfield Cottage, Otti-well Place, Hotel de Peanuts, and Pro Pafria House. The houses for the officers aro situated on the edge of the square, facing southward, with the Colonel's quarters in tho coutre. The houses for the officers number about twenty.

The buildings for the band, engineer, and drum corps, are on the space fronting the officers' quarters. The guardroom has been built on tbe southern side of the square. The kitchens have been erected on the square' opposite, some distance from the quarters. The building has two rows of bunks on each side, and no doubt tho men will soon feel themselves at home in them. Ibis regiment expect to receive their now Chasseur uniform today.

It consists of a light-blue cap, with dark-bluo band a short-skirted coat, with a slit in each side, trimmed with while full light-blue pantaloons, trimmed with white, the bottoms being gathered in and encased in buff leggings. Franklin square will soon be one of the most attractive spots of the city. Kindness to our Militart Guests. In the course of the exercises at the regular prayer meeting at tho Fourth Presbyterian Church, on Tuesday evening, Rev. J.

C. Smith, pastor, incidentally remarked, in substance A number of tho ladies of this church have, yesterday and to-day, gathered together a quantity of clean under-garmenls, and other things conducive to comfort, and presented them to members of the Pennsylvania regiment, now quartered at the Inauguration Ball Room. This is kind, and these men so esteem it. They are good, worthy, sensible, and intelligent men. I havo been among them, and know them.

Many of them left their fields, and other places of labor, at a moment's notice, bringing away nothing but the clothes upon their persons, being told that provision would be made for them at Uarrisburg. But this was a mistake and they arrived in this city in great discomfort. It is only just now that their stores havo been received. They fully understand and most warmly appreciate tho kindness of these ladies in all that they have done. It is in the power of all of us to do much for the soldiers of the noble army now here for our protection and we should not omit this duty.

There are sterling men in all these ranks, and we should reciprocnto good for good with them. Let us minister, so far ns wo can, to their physical comfort and wellare. Let us also seek, as members of tho church of Christ, to confer upon them some spiritual good. Tho opportunity is present to us, and, however blind we may be to tbe course of tho future, we cannot err when we faithfully perform our present duties." No Music at tub President's Grounds. Despite the chilly condition of the atmosphere, an immense guthering assembled at the President's grounds yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of enjoying the music announced to be discoursed by the celebrated band of the Rhode Island regiment on that occasion.

Unfortunately, however, there was no performance, as the band, it was afterwards ascertained, was otherwise engaged. This fact was not made known to thoso having the matter in charge until 4 o'clock, or, in all probability, the services of another bund would have been secured. The large compnny, however, continued to linger about the grounds, enjoyiug the delightful promenade which trey afford, until the usual hour of closing. The weather proving favorable, tho Marino Band will perlorm, without doubt, at tbe tame place, on Saturday afternoon. While there are so many fine bands in tho city, would it not bo a good plan to have them to alternate each afternoon in tho President's grounds? It would not amount to more than one afternoon a week for each band, and would afford a most excellent place of resort for the military now here, as well as to our own citizens.

And tho ladies, dear soulsl they can't go on any picnics now they would "so love it I Do let us havo the music, Messrs. Proper Authorities. Battalion Parade. Yesterday morning, companies A and Union regiment, Captains Carnngton and Kelly; the Anderson Ouards, Captaiu Foxwell and the Watson Guards, Captain Callan, paraded our streets with martial musio, and made a very soldierlike appear ance. During the morning, the battalion proceeded to the fields in tho northern portion of the first ward, and spent some time in field exercise.

Arrival or the Fourth Pennsylvania Regiment. The fourth Pennsylvania regiment reached here about half past six o'clock last evening, having left Annapolis about one o'clock in the afternoon. The regiment has ten companies, numbering eight hundred men, all strong and robust, and capable of enduring all manner of hardships. This regiment has been nearly three wee'-s on the route, having remained about one week at Perryville, aud nearly two weeks at Annapolis. At both of these places, they rendered good service, particularly at the latter, where they have been of great use in keeping the track in order, and in a variety of other ways.

The officers of the regiment are Colonel John F. Hartranft, Lieutenant Colonel Edward Schall, Major Edwin Schall. Adjutant Charles Hunsicker, Sergeant Major Mark Maloney, and Captains Bolton, Taylor, Chamberlains, Cook, Donn, Amey, Schall, Altabaugb, Brooks, and Snyder. They are quartered in the rooms just vacated by tbe New York twelfth regiment, iu the Assembly Rooms and in Trinity Church. When we visited the Assembly Rooms last night, wo found a large number of them trying to seek some repose, after the numerous fatigues they have undergone.

A glee club, consisting of members of ono of the companies, had possession of tho musicians' stand, and wero singing a number of national songs in beautiful style, which drew great applause from their comrades. There are four brothers in this regiment, two of whom nro staff officers, Edward Schall and Edwin Schall, one a captain, II. T. Schall, and one a private, Calvin Schall. They all belong to the little village of Norristown, which may well be proud of them.

A correspondent complains that wo ure vigilunt in attributing offences against tho peace to soldiers, aud asks, Who is not a soldier at this time 7" We reply, that wo are simply vigilant to tell the whole truth. Soldiers have committed offences, and these offences havo been reported.

This it is, and nothing more." We will, however, most cheerfully testify that we hnvo never before seen so many thousand men behave so well and that tho conduct of the whole array here stands in beautiful and dignified contrast to that of the Congressional representations of certain Southern States fur some years post, in point of overy quality essential to the good citizen, the gontleman, and the Christian.
