Notice is given
to-day of a grand parade of the armies of the Potomac, of the Tennessee, and
Georgia, etc., etc., to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday next. This
interferes with our proposed trip, which has so often been deferred. But there
is no alternative. It will not do to be absent on such an historic occasion.
