Mach—not clogging the pen, and remarkably mild:on
steel pens—not given to' mouldiness or decomposition,
and though equal in all respects to the best English; yet
not much more than half its vrice., • It should, therefore,

THE APTITUDE OF AFFAIRS. '
Military operations In Missouri for some time, as
elsewhere, have been„somewhat languid. Very dif
ferent antics, however, have produced ihis effect.
At other points the advance of our, host( has been
blciciced by opposing force; strong in their entrench
ments.- Here, no enemy has shown himself within
striking distance. The army in Missouril . is now
:rattier one of occupation than of aggressive move
ments. .
. .
NiTHE T'tV REBEL ' GOVERNOR
Some stir_has bedii made by late premonitions of
another invasion of the State. That beatillfur.spe
cimen of South Carolina chivalry, Thomas C. Rey
nolds, having succeeded "his late Excellency Claib.
F. Jackson, has seated himself in the Gubernatorial
chair at RiChmond, from ivnich he addresses higi
friends, cheering them with the pronaise (3E•!, speedy
return-in all "the pomp and circumstance', of glo•
rious war." The proinise of tliii notable rnfinifesto
report has it, is already in course of fuidiment.
General Sterling Price, of Boonville fatA, being
now west of the Mississippi, leading hislellow-ex
iles back to their own. Missouri. It is anmeing to
hear his worshippers confess their faith in Minspeedy
triumphant progress through the , State. l In. corre
spondence, which' is frequently, captured, Loth the
home`and banished traitors hug the. fond hope, and
strive tobolster up each other's . courage 9,Kap,"
as .they affectionately him, grows more . aml
more in their affections by reason of his -'absence,,
and the rough treatment he has received : alike at
the hands of Federalsoldiers and the chief of the
great thievoeracy.
ANOTHER INVASION PROJECtED,
It is-not to be doubted that Reynolds, Price,'Polk,
and Co., would love dearly once more to bein Power
here. Nor is it to be questioned that their will make
the attempt to reinstate themselves. There are two
or three reasons for thinking that they will not sue
ceed.very soon. Until a summer's sun has. ripened
another crop it will be alinost impossible to subsist
an army in any part of the 'State, seuth of, the
Missouri river, separated, as it Would be, hundreds
of miles from any base - of supplies. Then, Which
is very doubtful, should troops, 'ao inirch :needed
elsewhere, be put at the disposal of Price for this
pnrpose, it is possible that our forces niay meet
them, and stop them, before they cross the birder.
If they canmove NOrth we can -go South, for the
difficulties are not greater in the latter - than the
former.. If, howeVer, they can keep, alive: hope
among their friends, andprevent a large force from
acting elsewhere, they will be . ,
A RAID ANTICIPATED
The most to be feared from that quarter is *a'rald
now and then, like the One in Springfield in , Janu
ary. Report has it that hflarinaduke has attacked
Forsyth, and done us some damage: But, although
this rumor needs confirmation, something of the kind
may soon be-expected. Their eofree has run out,
'and their toes, too, will soon,. so that their-patriot
ism will receive a powerful impulse from thei r situa ,
tion.
ARMY OF THE FRONTIER.
General Schofield, with his staff* and escort, left
here this morning on his way to Rolla, yvkich,,,in- -
stead of Springfield, is to be the headquafters of the
Army of the " Frontier?' The 2d Division,..Gene...
ral Totten's, is about twenty miles south of us; nov
ing slowly eastward. Forage, more than the foe, is
the object of its movements, though it is .fortunate
that both lie in the same direction. — -
• REMOVAL OF GENERAL .GURTIS. -;
The widely-concerted, but secret efforts 'have
General Curtis removed from this department; have
been crowned with thorns to those who made;them.
Instead of a foreigner from lowa, they have one from.
Massachusetts. If .Curtis was an offencewhat
nowt State pride is well enough in its Place, but
the national interests will be maintained - ,;(lnite as
wisely and vigorously by one not influencedby beef
feelings, or State politics.
SENTIMENT OF THE SOLDIERS

CAMP OF THE 2d SOUTH CAROLINA VOLS.,
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, March 15, 1863.
On the 11th instant we had sharp skirmishing.
The rebels endeavored to dislodge, us from the town,
but I sin of the opinion that they "went away with
much greater respect for negro soldiers than they
ever conceived of having. The enemy attacked our
pickets on Tuesday night and were repulsed, with
how large a force it is impossible to say.
At about 8 o'clock Wednesday morning a force of
200 cavalry made an attack on Cos. A and B of the.
2d Regiment, stationed west of the town near the
railroad. They came' round upon the left flank of
Co. A to the front, in a half circle, poured a terrific
volley in upon our men, completed the circle, and
gave us another fire, while Co. A got in only one
volley in return, which did, however, fearful execu
tion.* Their surgeon was shot through the forehead
and fell dead. Capt. Holt Co. A, and Capt.'Ap-,
thorP, Co. B, retired a short distance and formed in
line, and awaited•the reappearanceof-thoehemy,
In a short time a force of 200 infantry appeared in
front. Capt. Boit, mistaking them for our, men,
withheld his fire (which, if given at the proper time,
would- have been perfectly murderous) until they
filed toward the woods. The rebels, at the same.
time,•poUred a deadly fire into our men, which threw
them into a slight panic. But they returned the fire
with effect, as several were seen to fall. One man
from Company A was killed, and two-vvounded-; one
severely and one slightly. As the enemy filed to
ward the woods, Colonel Montgomery, who was in
front, was brought, in direct range of the fire, and
fell upon his face until the shot passed over. He re
marked that "it was the hottest fire he ever was
under." You can well judge what must have been
the effect upon raw recruits, who have been in ser
vice scarcely two weeks, and had no discipline
whatever. When a warrior of Col. Montgomery's
experience says it is warm work, we may pretty
safely conclude that it is so. The conduct of the
soldiers was admirable,'
We can account for three killed and ten or fifteen
wounded, among the rebels, and probably their loss
is greater, as they carried away their dead and
wounded. We have lost one man killed and two
We have ten or fifteen prisoners, among Whom is
Lieut.-Driscoll, formerly of the United States army,
a son•in-law of Floyd. . - •
SKETCH OF THE EXPEDITION.
The expedition, after completing all necessary pre
parations for, the inland march at Fernandina,
moved up St. John's river, onthe I.oth instant
occupied the town of Jacksonville without meeting
any resistance. • There was = a small body of rebel
troops in town at the time of the appearance of the
black troops, but ..:they abandoned it nastily, and re
treated toward the interior. • "
The sight of the. colored soldiery caused a perfect
panic among the white inhabitants' of the town.
They had placed credence In the misrepresentations
of the rebel press as to the purpose of the employ
ment of negro troops by the. Union GoVernmenkand
expected nothing better.than arson, murder, and ra
pine from them. As the long column of armed and
uniformed blacks marched through the streets, and
took possession of the public building, there was a
general scampering of men, women, and children in
every direction. Not a Single excess, however, wart
committed by the soldiers, although. many of them
had been held in bondage in the plate—which is a
clearer record thfin our white troops usually make in
hostile towns. •
On the morning of the llth, Colonel Montgomery,
with, a picked body of two hundred' men; made 11
reconnoissance of the road to Baldwin. Some miles
beyond Jacksonville, the detachment was attacked
by the rebels that -had retreated from Jacksonville. ,
A lively skirmish of some duration ensued, resulting
in the repulse of The ebeniy. Colonel Montgomery,
after obtaining all the information in regard to the
country he wanted, and collecting quite a number of
contrabands, returned to Jacksonville. It was un
derstood -that the .entire force was to march'upon
Baldwin, distant, twenty miles from Jacksonville,

. .
Active operations of the chief Federal army—that
under T ooker—are -now . commenced, and either a
decisive_ battle or the retreat of.the army command
ed by Lee must be the speedy-consequence. The
latter contingency Is possible, butnot at all probable;
and another heavy struggle over the line of the Rappa

tary expediency or political necessity, that the great
event may, occur on any dap-either to-morrow or
The next day, or the next-and Certainly will trans.
pire 'without further delay than the condition of the

The plan of the enemy, so far as developed, seems
to be an engagement with the Confederates on the
old ground near Fredericksburg, while a large army
passes the Rappahannock far higher, and, keeping,
the uplands on this side of the stream, comes down
on.Lee , s rear:" The vast forces under Hooker will
at least enable him to undertake this movement
with some chance. of success. They are more than
he needs. or can manage in one field. But if Genera/.
Lee's af Wry is as large as if was-in December, nothing
can be feared friar, such ar division'of the combat.
It however, the Confederate general's force is not
sufficiently numerous to prevent the completion of
the reamenvre, it is- sunnosed that no course remains
buffo fall back on' som e _point near Richmond; and give
the enemy battle . a greater distance from his-base.
This is the worst that is even possible, and it would
be no disaster, even if it Bhobld occur. Some- dis
aster, Mine defeat, in the enormously aiiended campaign
POW opening, will,:of course, fall to our tot. Though
we have had no such memento moll ast Dranesville

PROSPECTS OF STARVING- THE' REBELS
[From the Richmond Examiner:March 18.2
THE RAILROADS
From every quarter where our arnsiesare massed.
—from . Vicksburg, Tullahoma, Charleston, and Fre.
derickeburg—we have the most gratifying accounts
of . the condition of our troops, and their certain:
ability to cape with any force that the enemy may
hurl against them. - The only point upon which there
is room for apprehension is, that our, forces may be
f6rbed, by want of food-for men and horses, to relin- '
quish the strdngholds from which the enemy could
never dislodge them, and that this in a grave and
pressing danger, we have many fears for believing.
.It is a fact as well known to the enemy as our
selves, that all the country in the vicinity of our
armies has been stripped "of its provisionsand forage,.
and that.the, armies depend for their existence and
maintenance of their present positions upon the rail
roads. These being facts, which none, we think,
ariercr - to'keep - posted as to 'the: condition of 'these
roadis; and provide that they be kept in a state of
the utmost efficiency. It is useless to pass laws put,
ting men into the ,army and returning them, to it,
when they run away if measures are not at the same
time taken to support the army:when, it is gotten to
gether. The Government ishould not be content
even to keep the railroads in the,corulition in which ,
the war found them ; it should endeavor, and the
effort would be successful, to improve upon that
condition. The better the roads, the better supplied
would our armies be, and, consequently, the more
certain in the resistance to the extraordinary efforts
.for our subjugation which the enemy proposes to
make during the coming campaign.
The railroads of this State are on the point of giving
out. They have decreased their speed to ten miles
an hour as a maximum rate, and are carrying -Wren
. ty-five 'to fifty , per cent. leas tonnage than formerly.
This change in. their rate of speed and quantity of
freight has been made through necessity. The wood
work of the roads`has rotted and the machinery has
worn out, and owing to the stringent enforcement
of the conscription law as to railroad employeee; the
companies have not been able, with all their elforti,
to supply either the one or, the other. We are not
informed of the actual condition of the railroads in
the more southern States, but conceive that they are
little better off than our own, except, perhaps, in the
matter of negro labor. The slaves along their routes
may not have had the same facilities for escaping to
the enemy-as in this State.
We have ventured to call attention to this subject
because tif its vital, importance, and from a know
ledge that, owing to the great measures of finance,
impressment, &c., now weighing upon the Govern
ment, it has been overlooked. It is not necessary
for Government to take possession of the roads.
But it should supply them abundantly, with the ne
cessary labor and iron, and then on their being
kept in first-rate order, and being Worked efficiently...
To this end Government should appoint an inspec
tor of railroads. Railroads are a part, and an indis- ,
pensable part, of our military system; and if they I
are allowed to fall through from any causes, Govern
ment and people may prepare for the retreat of oar armies
and the surrender of mach of the valuable country note in
our possession. •

they siaffered - for .want of food, 'which the enemy
would not allow unless they would take an oath of

that citizens within'the Yankee lines must elect on
which — Side - of the river they prefer to remain, and.

will not be perinitted hereafter.
The remains of Surgeon Davis, Lieut. Horner,
and Private, Price, killed in the late fight between
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and the .Yankeeeavalrs , , near

and a detachment of the brigade was sent to receive
-and escort their remains to the ildpot at fiamilton's

have. not 'yet been sent. During the late raid
Gen. Lee had between five and eight hundred men,
set routed - nine regiments of the enemy's cavalry,
charging on and driving them three times within
J - heir infantry camps. Perceiving that the great dis
, parity of the two, forces was discovered, he deemed
it
,prudent to retire,' but not without brinbdng with
him the 150,prisoners lately arrivedin Richmond, as
evidences of his victory. Before - returning, he pene

THE SALT QUESTION.
To turn a man neck and heels out of house and
home, divest- him of his property, and bestow the
whole upon another man, who agrees, in considera
tion thereof, to do a job for the State at a saving of
the snug little sum- of half a million f This is the
proposition which a :committee of the House of
Delegates recommended, and which was earnestly
discussed in that body for several days. It is about
the coolest piece of spoliation we ever heard of. It
was so barefaced that it imposed even on us for a
moment. We supposed there must he in the back
ground some sort of pretext or apology for.i.t. In
principle it is identicalwith the State's ejecting
every farmer from his land and leasing it to some
other person, who would undertake to work it and
give the State <a greater portion of the proceeds
than the owner would ! This proposition received
votea.in the House of Delegates.. This fact will
stand an eternal Monument of the moral vagaries of
this Wonderful era.
Tempting: as was the snug little sum of half a mil
lion, which the State was to clear by seizing - one
man's property and giving it to- another, the spirit
of common honesty, which was once a Virginian
cliaracteristlc. prevailed over the spirit -of rapine.
The scheme of spoliation failed, and the owners of
the salt works were permitted - to retain, their pro
perty, by agreeing to supply. the State with 75040 e
bushels of salt at $2.33 per bushel. The quantity
furnished 'will be ample for all the people of tire
State, and the price, considering -the times, mode
rate enough.—Richmond Whig, 16th.
THE COMING. CONFLIOT IN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE.
The Jackson Appeal has the following editorial on
the coining conflict in Middle Tennessee :
"" From all accounts that reach us, we are led to
the conclusion that ere a great while General Bragg
will be forced either to engageßosecrans in battle or
fall back upOn Chattanooga. The country would
deplore the necessity which may , force him to the
adoption of the latter-alternative. It is all-import
ant that we continue to hold Middle Tennessee and
North Alabama, otherwise we shall find ourselves
in straitened circumstances for army supplies an
other 3rear hence.
"The Unionists are devastating the country as
they advance, rendering it impossible for the farmers
to raise a crop this season; and to blot out Middle
Tennessee Bentucky, North Alabama, and North
Mississippi from the producing sections of the Con. ,
federacy, would be more seriously felt than the loss
of Richmond, Charleston, Savannah, or Vicksburg.
It would prove a long step in the direction of our
subjugation by starvation.
. . .
We sincerely hope that our generals are fully
alive to the necessity and importance of holding Mid
dle Tenneasee, and that the hands of Gen. Bragg
will be strengthened with a force sufficient for this
purpose. Our own impression is, that the opera
tions of the enemy about Vicksburg is a mere feint
to hold our army there and at. Port Hudson, while
the enemy are sending most of their reinforcements
to Rosecrans.
"`To surrender Middle Tennessee to our foe, More
over,tv oul d place WI to a great disadvantage should ne
gotiations for peace be entered into cluringthe spring
end summer. It is our policy, and should be our
main effort, not only to hold all we now possess,
but tereclaim as much of. Southern territory as pos
sible. We could not, treat for peace on anything
like equal terms, with. alI the Border States,
Tennessee included, in the bands of the enemy.
" Our information is that the forces under Gen.

Johnston are now strongly intrenched in the vicinity
of Tullahoma, having witlalrawn froin the neigh
borhood of Shelbyville: This position was, we have
seen stated, long ago selected as the most easily de
fended one between Nashville and Chattanooga, by =
President Davis himself, and, as it has been ap
proved by Gen. Johnston, we may indulge every
hope that the wily commander will be forced,
if he advances, to give battle upon' ground that will,,
at least, afford our troops; an equal chance. The
blunder at Stone river, which was followed by such
wholesale slaughter, will not berepeated.
"On the Union side, no Important advance has been
made. Heavy reinforcements have been received,
and of late immense, supplies passed up the Cum
berlsind., To transport these, the railroad has been
repaired to the vicinity of Murfreesboro, including
the - bridge over Stone river ;• but a - considerable
amount of trestle-work remains to be put up be

compliment, as she is one of our finest sloops. Thus,
in the space of three days, we have exchanged the
peaceful industry of Philadelphia for the tumult of
f'grim-visaged War ;"„but, except the sense of inse
curity, and the knowledge that in the darkness some
rebel may crush in our floating home all is much
the same. To be sure, our side-arms are always
ready, the magazine keys are singled for immediate
use, and sharp eyes are scanning every shadow on

To . the Editor of The Press
"Sin : It has been urged by the opponents of the
Randal steamships that it is an experiment; and
therefore, that the. City Councils ought not in any
way to give their aid in their construction. This is a
great error, and is ealenlated to militate againat the
establishment of a line of steamers which is of more
importance to the interests of Philadelphia, at this
time, than any improvement since ,the construction
-of the Pennsylvania Railroad. -The . steamships
of the Randal patent most emphatically are not an
experiment, but a fixed fact, in proof of which I will
state a fact which is well known -to a number of our
citizens. The, steamship Empire State, built and
sailed upon. Lake Erie for several years, could never
attain a higher rate of speed than 12 to 13 miles
per hour. Capt. Banta built the Western Metropo
lis, which is 65 feet longer than the Empire State,
with an increased tonnage. of 600 tons, upon the
Randal model, removed the engine from the Empire
State, and placed it, without anyalteration, in the
Western "Metropolis, since which time- the latter
vessel hmfbeen running at a regular rate of 20 miles
per hour. Here.is an-increase of- 50 per cent. in the
speed, and a ,cleargain of 200 per cent. over resist
ing .causes in favor_ of the "Metropolis," in her
If the city of Philadelphia invested five millions of
dollars in the 'Pennsylvania Railroad, so much the
greater reason why we should now contribute (what
isa.rnere trifle in comparison,) the means necessary
to : establish a line of steamers which will outvie
the
floating upon the ocean , and secure to
'the city an increased value upon her investment, and
revive her languishing trade. It will be no new in
vestment in any- new project, but a necessary and
judicious addition to an improvement which has
, saved the city and her merchants from sinking into
complete desuetude.

THE UNION • SENTIMENT IN MISSOURI.—
A letter from Palmyra, Mo., to the Boston Journal,
says the 'prospects of that State are most promising:
"The rebel sympathizers are' fast .selling but, and
'leaving •their place's to be filledby good .and loyal
men. The Union sentiment in Missouri is intensely
loyal; -it recognizes but two parties, the one for the
Unton, the other against it. So-we think and act.
We are getting more loyal every day. We under
stand the awful responsibility resting on the Presi
dent, and we will 'stand by him through this fiery
ordeal, and with him conquer. or perish. Such are
the sentiments expressed in thecurrent thought,-
and - in the public meetings which gather to consider
the posture of affairs and the present crisis. We
fearnothing for Missouri."

A very agreeable book, just published by Harper
& Brothers, is "African Hunting from Natal to the
Zambesi, including Lake Ngami, the Kalahari
Desert, kn. ;"by liffilliam Merles Baldwin, F. R. G.
5 , an English traveller. The author, with a natural
instinct for sporting and wandering, was hesitating
between Canada and our own Par West, when he
was tempted to Africa by Gordon Cammines book.
and spent nine years there in travel, - aportfng, and
hunting. In his last year, in addltiorl to a large rot
of quaggas, buffaloes, springboks, ostriches, genboka,
Ilene, giraffes, rhinoceroses, and SO on, he "bagged"
sixty.one elephants f The book, one of the Mos
'heti:mai ever written; is in form of a diary, and is
frill of adventure. Nuinerons and well-executed en
gravings really illustrate the, text. This is the
twelfth standard work of discovery and adventure in
Africa. published by the Ifarpars.
Another; but very different book, is A. Haraszthfa
"Grape Culture, Wines, and Wine Braking;. with
Notes upon Agriculture and Horticulture.a It is an
octavo volume, illustrated. The author, a natural

scale in Sonora county, California, was sent by the
Legislature of the Golden State as commissioner to
visit Europe, to examine and collect information
about vine-growing and Wine-making, select vines
and trees, and eondense information on the subjects
of. his mission from the works of eminent foreign
authors and reports of .scientiffc committees. The
time of his journey, including the voyage to Europe
and back, was limited to abOut eight months. He
visited various parts of Prance, the Netherlands,
Holland, Rhenish Prussia, Bavaria, Nassau„ l3aden,.
Switzerland, spain, Italy, and England Land arrived
at the conclusion that "California is superior, in alt
the conditions of soil, climate, and other natural ad
vantages, to the most favored wine-producing dis
tricts of Europe ; and that it actually has yielded
considerably more per acre' To produce the finest
wines, California "requires only the varieties of
grapes from which the most celebrated wines are
made, and the same. care - .and science in its manu
facture." Itir. taraszthy received all the informa

THE ROYAL PROCESSION:.-
.
Lowirox...Saturday, March 7; 1863.—The public
thronged the - streets at an early 'hour in the city,
and devoted the morning to - an examination of =the
complete arrangements. The triumphal arch on Lon
don bridge was - finished just in time, and Rims 'an
imposing and majestic 'appearance. The- elegant
white and gold - corners of its arved roof;erowned
by four white horses. The bronze - tripods on the pa
rapet : of the bridge, 'and betimen these the lofty
standard, surmounted by- crowns and other richly
gilt and ornamental works. The-:grand galleries
round St. Paul's also proved - a- great attrlic
ton. At length: the Streets: became - so , crowded
as to render it necessary for- those who -desired
to witness* the procession to lose no time in
selecting a position for the. purpose. The • - fine
open - - space between'- the-- Royal Exchange,
Bank, and Mansion House was filled' .with-thou
sands of peqple. The , flights of - steps leading to
the -Exchange presented the- . appearance , of a
great amphitheatre. The building was e.rovedsp.
and fringed with - a mast of people. The roofs of
other edifices in the neighborhood were also-occu
pied.' Toward 2 o'clonele the. sky became overcast-,
and at that hour rather a heavy shower commenced,
which lasted several - minutes, but the-weather-im

anxiously to look -!toward-. King William street-for
the advance of the royal -train,and.purictually at
Blackfriars at IX, and, according to the. pro
gramme,lthe Prince and. Princess were-to reach-the
Mansion House about 25,-; ; but- the civil proces
sion, though effective and splendid as a pageant,
unavoidably acted as -a. drag-on-to-the progress of
the royal party, and it-moved- on steadily and - en
steadily instead of at a uniform pace,' At the-Man
sion House the procession was about-forty minutes
behind time. The people watched- eagerly for the
plumes of the Life Guards and-Horse Guards which
formed the royal' escort ; and.when these were visi
ble, the excitement began to attatn.its climex-, as:the
carriage approached whichcontainedthe Prince and
Princess; the cheers of-the people became enthusi
astic in the extreme; cheers ix; one electric-shout of
the welcome. The effect was thrilling on thesoec
tittors, but on those who Were-the immediate-object
of this grand outburst of loyalty-and attachment,
the emotion produced must havebeen such-as never
to beeffaced. The-Prince and. Princesewere at
times ,visibly affected, and- so- the. royalprocession.
proceeded - on westward amidst - tuniultuous cheers..
The: procession reached the bottom- of 'Lud.-
gate Hill at 3.30: P.- ME In consequence-of - itbeing
known that the civil portion wouldleave at Temple
Bar; the people assembled - in immense_ numbers. et
Fleet street, and. by. one o'clock the pavement and
roadway were - thickly. crowded. When seen from
above, between- theintervenesleft by thelarge- ban-.
nem, from the house-tops and-windows, and.the fes
toons across tbe streets, particularly when. taken as
part only of- an ovation nearly-six miles in . length,
it presented one . of the- most extraor • ary sights
ever seen in the country. - A-slight s ower- fell at
about 2% P. M. Little or. no. attemp at forminga
la
line was made, -except by three horse soldiers
riding abreast occasionally through the-crowd; the
leading_ carriages, containing- some of the city an
thorities, came clearing the way for themselves.
The time of procession was-not keptupcontinuously.
About 5:4.0 the great object of attraction appeared,.
'bowing giacefully and smiling amiably to the
crowd, both far. .anfenear. The crowd- were-in the
highest good humor. The polinehad' little-occasion
to Interfere, nor had-the cavalry who lined- the side
of the read any. more disagreeable- duty to-do-than
laugh at the vagaries og the-crowd:,.Every win
dow, every housetop, and. each available nook,
was thickly peopled ;- and before the procession
came near, every lamp-post--had a. cluster of
sightseers. Thus tar, it was a. grand ovation and
triumphant success. The procession through-Hyde
Park was one of Ake Most interesting , features;
coPthe day, Guards were drawn up in two- lines,
and behindthem sixteen thousand - volnnteersained
the way, drawn up four deep—no cheering was al
lowed, and the contrast in that respect to the
loud cheer cl the wow& outside was very
remarkable.. The corps presented a splendid
appearance, and evidently -attracted the special
notice of the Princess; and her family. Her
appearance has completely confirmed the favorable
impressions entertabsed in Ragland. She wore a
purple velvet cloak, white bonnet, with the national
roses, and an Irish poplin dress, and her charming
face an d graceful acknowledgments of the enthusi
asm displayed at once secured her the unqualified
admiration and affection of thepeople. The royal
train left Paddington at 3.34 P. M. - A large number
of visitors were accommodated in the station-house.
which - was gaily decorated; a detachment and band
of Grenadier Guards lined the platform. Great en
thusiasm prevailed, which the royal pair repeatedly
acknowledged. They showed no signs of the morn
ing's fatigue. - IsTo accidents - have as yet been re

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS
The royal party-partook of luncheon at the Brick
layers' Arms Station. The scene on leaving the
station was extraordinary—the line could not be kept,
owing to the immense multitude on both. sides—
swayed'up
,to. the carriage, and rendered progress
difficult. At the Mansion House the scene of confu
sion was so great, that. urgent messages were sent,
begging-for, the assistance of catalry, which. 'could
not,' -however, be supplied. The .cheering, , as the
-Princess passed the city hall, was deafening; infect,
drowning the peals Of the -- church bells. "Bouquets
were thrown-from many 'windows, and opposite the
kdelphi theatre a cornucopia of flowersonspended
in theidr,.was opened;and 'Showered' flowers upon
