WILLIAM M. GRIER, the 1st Regiment of Volunteers, under LT. COL. QUERY, and the 68th Regiment of Militia, under COL. SLOAN, were reviewed by BRIG. GEN ALLEN. The day was fine for the occasion, but rather dusty. The Cavalry made their usual fine appearance., -- The Volunteer Regiment did not make so fine an appearance as usual, owing to the disbanding of several companies belonging to it -- we are sorry to see its ranks so thin. The Militia made their usual appearance. A large number of the fair sex condescended to enliven the scene with their presence. --Their appearance was even more formidable than our military friends. The day passed off without accident, as far as we have heard. At a Court Martial, held after the parade, the officers of the regiment of Cavalry, we understand COL. GRIER resigned his commission. The following officers were elected: JOHN O. WALLACE, Col. Comd't; ALEX G. DAVIS, Lt. Col.; and ZENAS A GRIER, Major.
