The President took final leave of the State and his
friends here, the afternoon OF the 4th On his return
route from Maine, he received by large concourses
of people with appropriate honors at Salem, Lynn, and
several towns the line of his travel Arriving at the
Eastern ferry, at East Boston, time earlier than
anticipated, the salute of artillery announced to the
immense throngs OF people IN this city, at about O'Clock
the somewhat unexpected arrival of the President OF the
United States This impromptu reception was as hearty
could be well given and deafening shouts announced
his 10 the CITY, Dispensing with the military
escort in his desire TO reach the Providence station,
where he TO take special train for Fall River, he
assembled well-appointed barouche, and was driven
with much rapdty possible through the thronged
dense crowd following the carriage, and cheer
ing the whole distance On his arrival IN fremont street
the foot of the Common, it had become generally
known that the President in the city, and the thou
sands upon thousands, who were upon the Common
awaiting the display OF fireworks rushed, with the
rapidity and strength of avalanche, to meet the
President at the station His presentation TO the null
tude a magnificent spectacle, and the enthusi-

Morton, one OF our own citizens noticed IN the
distinguished circle, also received with cheers. Ac
companyng Gov NJ TO Taunton, the President there

addressed the citizens in reply He remained here an
hour; during which time many ladies and gentlemen
introduced and then proceeded to Fall River where

quarters in the elegant and spacious steamer the ebay

1t is remarked on every sde that the impression Mr.
Polk has made upon the minds of the people in this
ton has been most favorable The suavity Of his
ner the kindness OF his speech TO all the attention which
he has shown TO the young and above all, the strong
manly earnestness and sincerity imprinted upon his
tenance and burning his speech, have the highest
favor. His replies TO the numerous complimentary ad-

gushed by their simplicity, and yet ian art how difficult

The people here have regretted sincerely that public
duties have made his visit brief; but they have felt
honored and graed in this, and trust that their
tentions may have met the favor of their distinguished
guest. URBE.M

A Soldier from the Wars.

We met by accident, few days ago, a wounded sol,
der from the fearful field of Buena Vista He walked
with difficulty and with pain-or his wound had been as
severe as his gaanty had been daring Wherever the
shots fell thickestwherever the blows fell fasfes-hs
white nlume might be seen towering in the advance.
Such man has right TO speak of the friends and the
opponents OF the war; and wish the language OF the
intrepid hero could have been heard far and wide HE
said that the course of the federal party in denounclns
the administration, and in obstructng the war; was the
main obstacle in the way OF prompt and an honorable
mace He declared that the speeches of such men as
Eorwn and other opposition leaders did more than any
Thing else to encourage the Mexcans, and that these
sneecbes aided by the efforts of the federal press, had
COMPLETELY succeeded in poisoning the popular mind IN
Neyco against this country, rather against the demo-
cratic nary and that the leaders there looked forward
20 ner;od now not far distant, when peace would be
made that would be perfectly satisfactory to them He
repeated that these facts daily operating most pow
eruv upon the army, and would not fail eventually to
nso1uce the most important effects upon the volunteers
Of course it is of power TO give the name OF ,hs
Gallant soldier He spoke warmly and bitterly OF these
;ngs because he had himself felt some OF the practical
effects of their neutrality-suspicious.

Opinion in Europe of Washington Observatory.
We are enabled to lay before readers the following
very interesting letter from Dr. Lamont, the astronomer
royal at Munich, and OF the most distinguished sa-
uaas OF Europe That national Observatory should
soon have won its way to such eminence as TO be
cassed By such man with obsevaorles OF the foremost
rank in the world, is no small compliment to those con-
cerned in the management of it.
