ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
Address of Governor Falrchlld at the Bos
tou Reunion.
Governor Falrchlld, of Wisconsin, delivered the
annual address before the Grand Army of tbe Re
public In Boston yesterday. He suggested that the
society should publish a history of the organization
of the Army of the Potomac, and with that view he
devoted his address to such facts aa had come
under bis view from tbe first call for troops nnttf
tbe army encountered Its first reverse at Ball Run.
The Army of the Potomac, he said, was peculiarly
deMrvlns- of praise, because It had done noblv In
spite of th most discouraging reverses. Its mission !
from the first was to guar a Washington ; and Its de- I
lays, couniermarcnes, ana ueieate, wmcn were tne
result of conflicting counsels, were the subject of
universal criticism. Events crowded npon each
other with such rapidity that the leaders scarcely
knew what line of policy to follow, and many of the
dlsasttts were due to the lingering hope of peace.
General Scott had been making preparations for de
ft nse. Colonel George 11. Thomas (afterwards Ma
joi General) was placed in command of George
t wn); Captain Slilras (afterwards Commissary.
Oeneial) In charge of the Treasury building;
Captain Charles P. Stone (then colonel of militia)
guarded the President's house; ftajor McDowell
(art r wards Major-General) had command of Capi
tol Hill from the railroad depot to the Navy Yard
Commissary supplies were stored In and around
tbe General Post uillce ; a body of troops was sta
ttoned at th Patent ufllce. In the basement of the
Treasury building were strange deposits of whole
tiers of barrels of beans, pork, beer, and sacks of
coffee, while Its porticos bristled with cannon. The
Cspitol, under Major McDowell, was rapidly con
verted into a fortress.
On the 17th day of April there were with Major
McDowell Captains McUomb and Woodruff (engl
leer officers), two companies or militia, two hun
dred strong, composed of the stonecutters and other
workmen about the Captto!. Near the Navy Yard
were four other companies, and near the railroad
depot still another, all local militia.
The President's call lor troops waa gladly re
sponded to. On the 18th of April, the anniversary
of Lexington and Concord, the hearts of all loyal
men In Washington were gladdened by the arrival
ol the 6th Massachusetts Kegtment, six hundred and
forty strong, commanded by Colonel Jones. On the
afternoon of the 26th the 7th Kegtment New York
Militia, Colonel Lefferts. reached Washington. They
left New York city on the 18th, and communication
thrjugh Baltimore being Interrupted, went from
Philadelphia by way of Havre de Grace to Annapolis,
where they joined the 6th Kegtment Massachusetts
Volunteers, Colonel Monroe,who were accompanied
by their brigade commander, General Butler. So
far as Washington was concerned, the crisis was
now passed. The way being open, other troops
came forward rUpldly irom all parts of the North,
so that by the first ol May a general feeling of secu
rity prevailed. The speaker then noted the result
of the second ca'l for troops, detailing the events In
regular order until on the 23d of May General Mans
field, commanding the department or Washington,
had under htm rather more than thirty thousand
men.
Tbe Immediate defensive occnpatlon of the south
bank of the tfotomac was determined upon. A force
of about thirteen thousand men was assigned to
this du'y, and on the night of the 83d tbe movement
took place In three columns. These troops took
possession of Arlington Heights. At Long Bridge
crossed at about the same hour a battalion of dis
trict militia, consisting of the National Rides,
Captain Smcad, Zouave company, Captain Poveil
and Constitutional Guards, Captain Digges; and
later the 7th, 12th, and 23th New York Volunteers,
nnder command of Major-General Sanford ; and the
Sd, 3d, and 4th New Jersey Volunteers, under Brigadier-Genera!
llunvcn. Tne 7th New York was posted
at Hughes' tavern, ner the Virginia end of the
bridge; the 2 New Jersey half a mile farther on
at Roach's Spring. Tbe 12th and 85th New York,
and tbe 8d and 4th New Jersey, and one company of
cavalry moved to tbe right, np tbe river, and J jlned
the troops, who had crossed above, at Arlington
Heights The 1st Michigan, Colo lei Wilcox, a de
tachment of United states cavalry, nnder Major
Stoneman, and a section of Sherman's battery,
under Lieutenant Ransom, marched by way of
Long Bridge to Alexandria. The 'ire Zouaves,
commanded by Colonel Ellsworth, went thltber at
tbe same time by water. The whole ol Sherman's
battery crossed during the night, and Hlcketts' bat
tery marched over about noon on the 84th. Thus
quietly was taken the first step Into hostile territory.
From this the speaker proceeded to give an ac
count of tbe high hopes entertained for this army
by the people of the North, which hastened the
movements In Jnly which resulted so disastrously.
A PUZZLED TREACHER.
Sad Effect of Nasal Trumpeting.
The Danville (Ky.) Commercial la respon
sible for the following:
The Second Presbyterian Church being without a
pastor for the present, the different ministers of
the town, especially those connected with the Theo
loslcal Semlnarr. preach alternately to the orphan
congregation, and last night was Dr. Yerke's tarn
to deliver a sermon to a large assembly. Inanelo-
queut oration he uttered the words of Divine truth.
when, suddenly horribile dictutu. member affected
with a bad cold commenced blowing his nose most
violently. A terrible blowing It was. such as vou
never heard before in all your life, and such aa the
poor Doctor hopes never t bear again. It evidently
swept the whole or the beautiful sermon out or his
memory, and having no notes about him, he tried
In vain to restore tbe broken connection; but he
could discover neither end, and the frightened Doctor
exclaimed :
"Brother McMnllin, will you oblige me by repe&U
mg me text 7 '
The reverend brother arose, thought awhile,
stammered, hesitated, and sat down again he gave
it np.
"Please, will any one in the congregation let me
know mv text?"
After a lor g pause a student said :
"1 Corinthians. 10: 16."
Believed from a great burden, the happy Doctor
opened the Bible, bnt only to hud that It was a sad
mistake.
"This la not the right one. Please, cannot any one
recollect the text?"
A dead alienee followed. Professor Beatty, of
Centre College, robbed nis neaa in despair, out ne
neither rubbed the text out of nor into It. Kev. Mr.
Johnstone and many of his brethren, together with
the whole congregation, all were unable to and the
lost darllDsr.
The lauirhter which followed now was Indescriba
ble, and quite a time passed before the house could
be caiiea to order.
It being finally restored, the Doctor called on Mr.
McMnllin to close the meeting with prayer, and all
adjonrned perfectly convinced that they hat list
ened to one of the moat remarkable sermons ever
preached.
THE BRIDE OF A DAY.
A Forced Marriage ud Its Consequences.
A social sensation of rather singular nature,
has been developed in certain circle: iu the East
Jpd within the last lew days, i no Mrcumstances
of the case are far oat of th . usual order of
things, and are the subject of. much comment.
It seems that a well-feno wn admirer of torty
four years, after a uiiet bat brilliant and ardent
courtship, .Iiranged the preliminaries for a
matrimonial alliance with a young lady of twenty-two
summers, but here It is well to remark
that tbe lady was regarded as a sort of an out
sider in tbe case, ana the tender part of the
business was done for her by others. At any
rato, on Thursday night of last week the In
tended parties set out in carriages for the
church, where the twain were to have been
made one flesh. On the way the young lady
teemed disposed to avoid the hymeneal harness,
aud attempted to escape its galling thraldom by
leaping; from the carriage window. This de
sign, however, was frustrated, and the parties
went to church and the fetters were forged. It
is said that an aunt of the young lady compelled

Charleston. May 13. In the Tax-navers' Con

on the financial condition of the State. The grand
total of the debt is fixed at $$,869,103 ; the sum total
of unsold bonds Is $1,800,000.
The report recommends that tne Governor do not
sell any more bonds at less than 80 per cent., and to
proceed to New York to make the most economical
arrangement for holding the above-mentioned
$1,800,000 pledged as collateral, nntll 80 per cent.
oecomes attainanie. une committee further re
commends that, when redeemed, a portion of this
enm be applied to the payment of the Fire Loan
debt.
The report says that it is quite reasonable to ex
pect, from this exhibition of the exact condition of
tne nuances oi tne state, an immediate considera
ble advance and facilities for holding them oir the
market. It appears to the committee that the
various issues and sums of bonds described have
unquFStionanie legality ana force as obligations of
the State. The committee believe that retrench.
ment may be effected, and that It is the shortest
aveDue of escape from onr financial difficulties.
Less than $6t)0,i 00 in gold will nav the Interest on
the funded debt; $.1,200,000 should defray the Interest
ana an expenses. Tne committee recommend the

The committee of eleven made a report of the In-
tervlew with the Governor, the substance of which
is as follows: To recapitulate, yonr committee

himself to the following propositions:

Sixth. That be would have the collection of the
taxes next November postponed until the first of

Finally, the committee recommended the follow
ing suggestions : Tne legislature ensuring the fun
payment or tne royalty on tne phosphates ; the re
peal oi tne acts granting exclusive irancnises; a
stop to be put to the drawing of money from the
Treasury for alleged Legislative expenses, on the
order of the Speaker of the House and President of
the senate; ana that an appropriations
and - bills ought to specify the items
nnder each general head : the reduction of tbe num
ber of the state and county officers ; the enactment
of a law limiting each session of the Legislature to
thirty dajB, repeal the law giving a salary of $2600 to
the Adjutant-Uencral; togtve each public oillcer
but one salary, ana to aoousu tne commission to
codify the laws.
Tne report was auopieu.
The convention then resolved itself a committee

lutions of thanks to the presiding omcer. and also
to Governor ucott ana state omcers. were passed.
The committee rose, ana rresiuent rorter returned
thanks, and said that he need not be ashamed of
the convention.
The results would spear and anneal to the conn-
try, and If tbe Executive Committee continue to
act In the same spirit and avoid Federal and State
lvolllica, and slmpiv welcome to our ranks men who
pi opose to do good, who advocate wholesome laws,
