| containing one hundred plates, were more than
twice filed and the company were enlivehed py

/ The steamers returned To Norfolk, and have
Jus; learned that Mc><rs Casl,ic and Patton ar
rived by the boat from Richmond, and went 10
| Old Point for the night. They, together with
Messrs. Miiison and r 7 Chopper, will address

well as its consequence. that on arrivinsin Rich

family so much indisposed, as 10 prevent his re-
turn to Norfolk. Such soldier, however, is
well employed everywhere. He never sleeps
