The Mechanical Artillery, under command Of
Captain Duffey, paid visit yesterday to Fair
fax Court house, and spent the day there. The
company left at 10 o'clock in a train Of cars,
on the Orange and Alexandria railroad, and
soon arrived at the point where they intended.
A short march brought them to the COURTEOUS
where they were most Hospitality entertained.
The company returned in the afternoon, de-
lighted with their trip. The old, tiresome jour
ney to the pleasant village Of Providence, and
its kind inhabitants, is now converted into q
charming ride of less than an hour.
The steam tow-boat Chas. H. Haswell, Capt
Albert G. Miner, brought up yesterday, from
St Georges Island, below Piney Point, a raft
OF timber, seventy feet wide, and near FIVE hun
dred feet in length. The timber is for the NAVY
Yard at Washington.
A box, containing q skeleton, or parts of a
skeleton, Of a human being was found floating
in the river opposite town yesterday, and brought
ashore. No clue as to where it came from.
The building Of the Lighthouse at Blaokis-
toms Island, on the Potomac, was commenced

The President is going to Boston.

Tie HtDUOEfc OF tnIS morning says:
eve understand that change of circum-
stances has induced the President to yield to
the very kind and urgent solicitations of the
citizens of Boston, to attend the celebration OF
the completion of the great enterprises in which
they are SO deeply interested. The President
will leave the seat of Government on Monday
morning, and proceed directly to Boston by the
way of Newport, at which place his family are
detained by the consequences of an unfortunate
accident, which will prevent Mrs. Fillmore for
some weeks from returning to Washington
q circumstance which has united with those Of
a public nature to induce the change of the
Presidents original determination with regard
to attending the Boston jubilee. The President
will be accompanied by the Secretary of the In.
terror, and by the Secretary Of War or the Sec
rotary of the Navy"

NIAGARA FALLs-RoDs, &c.-An instructive
and interesting article, upon the beauties, won
ders and curiosities about and connected with
Niagara Falls, appeared in the National Intelli-
geneer few days since; but we feel disposed
to critcise the writer's frequent use Of the word
"rod," correct word in its place, but one
that is seldom used by southern man of let
ters, and the repetition Of which denotes the
sectional locality Of the writer.
Let US give a specimen or two as gentle
hint to the author to avoid sectionalism, if be
wishes to be considered a man of nationality
He says: "A few rods below the American
Falls !" "Now let US climb along these rocks a
few rods and approach the Falls" "Go ahead
until you are within rod or two Of the falling
avalanche Of waters;" GA dozen rods from here
is stairway down the bank y Proceeding q
few rods from the bottom of the stairway to-
wards the American Falls" &C., sc. But
enough. A little care, on the part of a writer
for the public eye, will cause provincialisms Of
this character to disappear, while our gentle
jog of the authors elbow will doubtless secure
to us his thanks.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

"Since the above was put in type we have as
certained from Mr.. Meuyman, conductor on
the Susquehanna railroad, who came through
from Columbia and Harrisburg yesterday, that
young Dickinson Gorsuch is not yet dead,
though his condition is such as to render his
recovery a matter of extreme doubt. He was
shot in the left shoulder, and also badly beaten
and bruised by blows with club. He is still
lying at house in the neighborhood where
the ARRAY took place. Joshua Gorsuch and Dr.
Peirce, though beaten and bruised by the ne
groes, we learn were not seriously injured. The
former came on yesterday morning with the
body Of old Mr. Gorsuch, which was buried
yesterday afternoon.
"The negroes who were active in the ARRAY
are said to have oil left the vicinity, making
their way towards Philadelphia. AS far as we
| could learn no arrests had been made in tn,
vicinity where the ARRAY took place.
cit may not be amiss to say that our account
published above is fully corroborated by the
statements contained in the Philadelphia and
Baltimore county papers"

DEATH OF A PHILANTHRoPIsT. Thomas I'll.
Gallaudet died at his residence in Hartford,
Connecticut, on Wednesday of this week. He
was well known, says the New York Tribune,
g as the founder of the system Of education for
the Deaf and Dumb, which has had such extern
sive prevalence in this country. He visited
Europe in 1915, for the purpose of examining
the methods of instruction for Deaf-mutes in
England and France, and upon his returning to
the United States in 1916 became the principal
of the American Asylum at Hartford He re-
manned at the head Of that institution until
1880, when he was appointed Chaplain to the
Retreat for the Insane in Hartford. He con-
tinued to discharge the duties of this Office un.
til his last illness Mr.. Gallaudet was distin.
guished by his earnest practical benevolence
his great sagacity, and his rare devotion tt
duty. His intellectual powers were above the
common order. He was the author of several
works, which show originality of thought and
great beauty of illustration. A volume of his
sermons, delivered to an English congregation
at Paris, was published several years since,
when the author was quite young man. They
are fine specimens Of chaste and polished pull
pit eloquence, written with purity and sim
plicity, unusual among American preachers a
that day.

The New York Courier publishes letter
from ''young American girl" at Havana, who
is so situated as to hgoW what transpires In
the highest official quarters in Cubap This
girl is certainly highly favored. The Courier
and the Tribune both give the entire letter,
without dissenting word. But the latter pa
per gave the account of an insult to the Ameri-
cans at the Worlds Fair by a number of British
aristocrats, through some struggling negro fell
lows picked up for the purpose, without word
in disapprobation.
The young american girl !" says:
" All that could add in regard TO the loyal
ty, heroic valor and discipline of our soldiers
as well as to the decided part taken by the peo-
pie in favor of our acknowledgement be but a
feeble picture of what has in reality taken
place."
OF course she is an American! She further
says:
OF the $40 pirates who composed the expe-
diton, upwards of 400 no longer exist. The
greater part have died by the hands of the
peasantry, who chased them in the mountains
from the moment Of their embarcaton, and the
remaining hundred and odd are now in prison
and IN irons, to be transported to Melilla and
Centa These last have owed their lives to the
magnanimous feelings Of the Captain General,
aoho granted them quarter the moment he .founo
them dtsbanded, unarmed, and tugitiues."
1t is delightful to know that the Captain
General is so benignant Hoo he has been
misrepresented
The traitor, Don Narciso Lopez, will be
executed tomorrow, suffering death by the ga
rote oa. This infamous chief, spurious son Of
our country, has behaved in the most shameful
manner that you can imagine. Traced by dogs
like wild beast, he fell into the hands of those
determined country people, who followed him
step by step, and when he saw that his capture
was certain, he cried out, Pardon! pardon |!
do not kill met for have important revelations
to make, which will save the Island of Cuba.
Then in proof of his intention of giving himself
up without resistance, he threw away at the
same time the two pistols and the dagger which
he had preserved until then. One feels ashamed
of such miserable conduct in one who has worn
the uniform of Spanish General--but such is
| the exact truth"
This writer is tender, truthful, and American
But her letter, like most things, has an end
and here it is:
! "The lesson has been severe; yet, if in spite
of all, these deluded people from New Orleans
will not be convinced, let them come and welcome.
The army of Cuba and the inhabitants of the
island await them, to repeat the same scenes o,
determination and eIpiatioa."

example of mercy She will welcome the PEG.
