rene Hghness looked more nearly used up
than any ofthem. The cunning fox, however,
caught glimpse of the petticoas, as he was
stepping out Of his carriage, and sprang up the
steps Of the house with as much agility as
though he was mounting the carpet steps to
ascend bridal bed. The luxurious rascal! =
The rustIing of petticoat has still a charm
for his Republican IIighnoss, and still creates a
sensation in his otherwise Serene Majesty's bo-
som. He was usherci, or rather hudded, by
his loco ioco friends into the parlor, where he
looked bewiIded, amidst the blaze Of beauty and
bright eyes and brainless blockheads that sur

rable description of the palmer returned from
the Holy Land, entering the mansion of his
lady-oye:-
"Dirty and dusty his dress and his hair,
faded with travel and worn with care;
He looked like fox when seeking his lair,
Or the hero of old in the cave Of despair"
Out of the parlor he was taken by the wor-
thy host up stairs into an elegant bedroom,
where he was brushed, and washed, and comb
cd, and scented and sweetened, ard as one
bright-eyed, merry-mouthed maiden observed

Gov Dickerson was quietly discussing the mer-

where a magnificent and costly collation. was
laid out, with regard to taste and excellence,
but no regard TO expense.
His ExceIIency was exactly 22 minutes ar
ranging his minor matters up stairs, and then
held levee in the front paror. He had a
smile and soft word for the ladies', smirk
and smooth tongue for the male monsters,
and an after thought and fund for reflection for
the whole affair. Last scene Of all in this
stage of the affair, His puissant Republican
Highness had the honor Of shaking the hand

that was preparing TO pen these portenlous

His highness then drove down to the wharf,

on board the steamer Utica, where he was most

Carolina, line Of battleship, which presented
noble feature in the bay; all her yards were
manned, and she fired salute from her lower
deck ports the heavy guns were not fired on
account Of the destruction Of window glass

sight in the bay was spirit-stirring; the salute
from Governors Island was contemptlbIe.-I
The boat passed the Battery, and received an
apology for salute from some rldiculously
dressed artillery men; then passed again round
the North Carolina, when the entire crew, APP

few moments. Orator Edmonds then deliver
