The PROCESSION To-DAY.-At four o'clock this
afternoon the line of march will be taken from the
City Hall to the public grounds east of the Capitol
where the ceremonies of the day will take place.
The arrangements conducted by gentlemen
who well know how TO order them Every thing
will be quietly, orderly, and judiciously managed.
The concourse of spectators will doubt be large.
We hope that good order and attention will be OBJ
served by them also. The youths of our city, who
attend other schools, schools, are desired to
favor this celebration with their presence. We have
no fear respecting their conduct the occasion.
When they once behold the boys and girls of the
public schools, they will have disposition to offer
them rudeness. We sure of this.
Let all persons keep cool and tranquil till the
hour for the procession They will thus be ena-
bled to enjoy il all the better.
We hope the trustees, teachers, and scholars
will carefully avoid becoming over heated ia
tigued. The journey from the primary to the dis
trct schools and thence to the City Hall. should
be undertaken with caution. There should be no
standing in the sun; the children should not be per-
mitted to want for water; and in the streets they
should be free from all kinds of dangers and anx-
ieties.
A beautiful show will, no doubt, be presented;
but that is not all the public schools need encour
agemeat and support. We call upon citizens
to come forth to-day and judge whether they do
not merit all that can be done for them. We call
upon members of Congress to decide whether the
children of this District do not need and merit the
appropriation of school fund much as the chill
dren of any of the States of Confederacy, for
whom such fund has been munifccntly provided?
AN EDITOR AT FAULT.-Rare as the incident is,
it has to pass and the editor is less per-
sonage than our "Items!" The pic mic on Friday
was not given by the choir ofany church, although
some of the faces and voices that have been seen
and heard in the choir named were seen and heard
at Arlington.
The error is corrected amply because we wish to
be right, and our Items wishes to be right. Both
the choir and Arlington good places in which
to see and hear these faces and voices; and these
faces and voices good enough and pretty enough
to be seen and heard anywhere. Thus sayeth our
Items.

My DEAR Sir: The enclosed copy of private
note addressed by Lord Grey to the American
Minister in London, received this morning,
accompanied by letter from Mr.. Lawrence to
myself.
take great pleasure in forwarding it to you, as
containing gratifying evidence that the British and
Colonial authorities appreciate most highly the
kind feelings manifested by the authorities and
people of Buffalo the occasion to which Lord
Grey alludes and that they esteem the hospiaii-
ties handsomely proffcred by you, as the chief
magistrate of the city, as striking proof oil the
kind feelings happily prevailing between
the inhabitants of the United States and the British
dominions feelings which il is the interest Of both
countries and the desire Of both to cherish and
maintain

from Lord Elgin, in which he expresses his very
great regret that he had been disappointed in visit
ing Buffalo the occasion of excursion he lately
made to Niagara, with the members of the Cana
dian Legislature, by various detentions they expe-
rienced in passing through the canals. He tells
me that preparations, on very magnificent SCALE
had been made by the citizens of Buffalo for there
ception of himself and his party, but that unfortu
nately night overlook them before they reached
Lake Erie, and the intended visit had to be given
up. He is anxious that you should be aware how
high a sense is entertained by himself and his COM
panions Of the kind feeling evinced on the occa
sion by the citizens of Buffalo, and how much they
regretted having been prevented, by circumstances
beyond their control, from avaing themselves of
the hospitality SO handsomely profered to them If
you have occasion to write to any of your friends
in America, perhaps you would have the goodness
to express the satisfaction with which have
rceived an account Of striking display of the
amcable feelings which prevail between the inhab-
tants of both sides of the boundary line between the
United States and the British dominions.
have the honor to be, very faithfully yours,
