Cambridge has the distinction of having raised the first company of volunteers for the suppression of the Rebellion. The company marched to Boston and was assigned to duty as Co. C, 3rd Regiment, M. V. M., April 17, 1861, and to-day an appropriate celebration of this historical event is to be held under the auspices of the city government. The programme includes the Federal salute of thirteen guns and the ringing of bells for one hour at sun-rise and sunset; a salute of thirty-eight guns and the ringing of bells during the procession of military and civic organizations, which takes place at half past ten; a dinner in Union Hall at two o'clock, followed by a "camp-fire;" and a public reception and mass meeting in Union Hall at 7.15 in the evening. Mayor Russell will preside at the evening meeting. Addresses are expected from Gov. Robinson, Mayor O' Brien of Boston, President Eliot, Gen. B. F. Butler, Col Higginson, Dr. MacKenzie, and other eminent men.
