Boston. Journal of the Times.--Continued. Oct. 3. We now
behold the representatives' chamber, court house, and
Faneuil hall, those seats of freedom and justice, occupied
with troops and guards placed at the doors; the common
covered with tents, and alive with soldiers; marchings and
countermarchings to relieve the guards, in short the town is
now a perfect garrison. . . [3 more lines] In the afternoon
our artillery company appeared in the field and were
exercised, their captain was informed, by the officer of the
regulars, that it was not customary to beat drum, or fire
after the evening cannon was discharged, the hint was taken.
