NOTHING NEw.-In the summer of 1888 Con.
gress sat in the village of Princeton New Jersey,
On the 9th of July, the late DR.. Ashbe Green,
then youth attending College, wrote to his father
as follows:
A gentleman has arrived in town from Virginia
with proposal TO Congress to this effect. He
will discover method of working boat oftwenty
tons burden, by the force of machines, with only
one man, without sails against the tide, so that it
shall run miles an hour; with the tide IL miles
in an hour He will make machine that will cut
acres of wheat in day. and lay it in sheaves fit
to be bound, the machine to work with horse and
a boy to ride him.
The latter machine seems to have been on the
planof the celebrated Reaper invented and per.
| fected, within few years past by the Messrs.
Mccormick, who, however deserve all the credit
of originality, notwithstanding the idea of the
thing was suggested so long ago. We observe,
| by the way, that the agent off the State of New
York to the Word'sFair, writes that Mccormick s
Reaper is constantly enquired about and attracts
more attention than anything in the United States
collections, from practical men, both of Great Bril-
tain and from the continent.

From the National Intellsgeneer.
MR. WEBSTER IN VIRGINIA.

Kind friends of ours, residing at Harper's Ferry and
Winchester, have sent us glowing accounts OF the
ner in which Mr.. Webster was welcomed at various
towns on his way to the Capon Springs the Oath inst
At the frst-named place he was met at the by
al &c concourse of people, who crowded around him
closely as almost to impede his passage from the Bat-
more to the Winchester cars but want oftme prevents
ed him from addressing the multitude. AT the village
of Charesown in Jefferson county, the cars stopped
for few moments to wood and " alter, and here an
other crowd improved the opportunity to manifest their
regard for him. and succeeded in elictng few remarks.
He spoke 10 them OF the beauty and fertility of their
country and repioached himself for having so long neg
ected visit and become personally acquainted with
it's yeomanry. They summoned him into their presence
by shouting Daniel Webster and The Union' and, in
paying passing tribute to that Unon, he expressed the
belief that the inhabitants OF the surrounding country
would be among the very last in extremity, 10 forget
their duy American patriots. He told them that
he glad to seem them, and they return cd tho som-

DeDortalre of the President.

PRESIDENT FILLMORE, with Secretaries Stuart
and Hall, took their departure from our city, by
an extra train Saturday morning, at eight o'clock.
They were attended by Messrs. Miller, Faulkner
and Conway of the State Convention, and seve-
raj citizens of Richmond. Their plan was to stop
at Fredericksburg, to accept the Inequalities of
that ancient and patriotic town." as the National
Intelligencer justly styles it. Before entering the
cars, the President became surrounded bya crowd
of citizens, anxious to obtain near view of his
person. to many of whom he was introduced.
The ladies' of the Presidents party, under the
care of Capt. Powell of the U. S. Navy "a GAL
liant and accomplished son of Virginia) took the
regular mail train which left at half past seven,
and they arrived at Washington Saturday after
noon.
Mr.. Flmores short sojourn in Richmond has i'm
pressed all who saw or heard him with admiration
of his simple and graceful department, and conf
dence in the patriotism Of his purposes. He is uni
versally adjudged noble example of the repub-
lican citizen in high office. Modest, deferental,
and kind in his manners, sensible in every remark
he has nothing of sef-importance about him. No
look or word .intimates an overweeniEg compla-
cency at his being "the observed of all observers"
His remarkably ingenious countenance manifests,
there be any truth in physiognomy, the virtuous
purity of his character, whilst intelligence and
frmness are not less plainly imprinted upon his
features. Such are the impressions which we
believe the President has left behind him amongst
political friends and opponents.

CITY A FEAERS,

Now that the President and his party have
LETT our city, we think it proper to say something
oy way Oh criticism upon the inadequacy of the
arrangements for his public reception, or the in
eflclent manner in which they were carried out.
The volunteers did their duty most creditabv
and were subjected to no slight trial of their pa.
tlence by the delay in the arrival of the steamer,
and the heavy rain that fell while thew were
marching from Rockets. The DELAY. it NAV he
we'll 10 state Gas there seems to be some misap,
henslon on the subect was not caused bv the
Presidential party's tarrying unnecessarily at
Shirley, but by the circumstance that according
to the plan adopted at Old Point the Post Master
General and other gentlemen with the ladies'
who remained until Thursday morning, were to
go by the steamer Augusta to City Point. there
embark on the Engineer, and take up the Presi-
dent and the gentlemen who were with him at
Shirley. The Augusta was delayed by heavy
fog' and therefore did not reach City Point at the
expected hour, and this was the reason whv the
Engineer did not arrive until after night.
The faults of management to which We have
referred were these: In the first place. the man.
ner of receiving the President from the steamer
was exceedingly clumsy and confused. Then,
after the head of the procession reached the Pow
hatan House, most unnecessary delay, occurred.
because there was no proper arrangement for
conducting the ladies and gentlemen into the
house. Apassage through the crowd should have
been opened, and they might have been released
from the carriages In five minutes. As it was,
drenchlng shower came up, in which the car
rlages stood with their inmates for half an hour,
and, at last, the ladies had to be taken through the
rain BY the private entrance at the back of the
house. This over, there was no committee to see
that the different members of the party were pro-
vlded with suitable apartments, and some of the
guests were permitted to have no little difficulty
In securing them. Finally, there ought to have
reen large committee of citizens to escort the
President as far as Fredericksburg, but there was
none. One editor, two reporters, and probably
single private gentleman went of their own &C.
cord Fortunately, the committee of the Conven-
ton somewhat enlarged the slender company
These, it is true, are minor matters, but it is
necessary to notice them, in order that similar
omissions may not again occur, to the dsparage-
ment of our city's reputation for doing things
handsomely. The enthusiastic cordality with
which the President was welcomed by the citi-
zens at large, was the most solid and gratifying
courtesy that could have been extended to him
1t showed the will 10 pay him, not merely becom-
ng, but marked respect. Still some tact and some
'onsiderate attention to details are highly desir-
lble on these occasions.

A member of the Convention from the Parkers.
burg District thinks we must have been mistaken
in crediting to the Parkersburg Gazette the COM
munication signed "P., copied in this paper of
Monday, in which the writer represented that a
division of sentiment existed in the district in
regard to the basis question, one party advoca ting
the unqualified white basis, and the other Fede-
raj basis Senate. We have Row no means of as
certaining whether such an error was committed,
but we cannot think it was. The article appears
upon its face, to have been addressed "to the edi
tors of the Gasete," and the "MartinsJurg Ga
Sette'' is the only paper of that name from which
we could have cut it, besides the one published at
Parkersburg. Certainly we should have expec-
ted disclosure of the sort rather from the Mar
tinsburg (Berkeley) District than from the Par
kersburg.

The President of the United States, and the
gentlemen who accompanied him from Richmond
on Saturday, reached Fredericksburg in good
time. At the railroad depot, he was received by
Mr.. Semple, the Mayor of the town, the volun-
teer companies and large collection of citizens.
Mr.. Semple delivered very happily conceived
reception address, and the President responded
with his usual grace and proprety. Having been
conducted to the Exchange Hotel, Mr.. Fillmore
was again addressed by DR.. Wexford, and replied
with much feeling and eloquence. Mr.. Stuart and
Judge Hall also spoke. About three o'clock, the
guests sat down to sumptuous dinner, Mr.. Bar
ton presiding at the table.
The President was, of course, toasted and we
are told by one OF the company, made one of his
most felicitous speeches. The two Secretaries
were likewise called out, as were Messrs.
Faulkner, Miller and Stanard of the State Con-
vention, and Mr.. Sargent and COL Spalding of the
press. The Presidential party then left the table,
but other guests retained their seats for some
time longer. We learn that devotion to the Union
constitutonally maintained was the prevailing sem
timent of the toasts and speeches. The President
and his suite finally took their departure from
Fredericksburg, and soon reached the terminus
of the railroad at Aqua Creek, where the steam
boat made its appearance not long after their ar
rival. We learn that the visit to Fredericksburg
was esteemed one of the most agreeable features
of the Presidents tour through Virginia.
