I note, in connection with this subject, the
recent arrival in this city, of Capt, West, Of
the steamer Atlantic, and the gentlemanly and
accomplished Chief Engineer of the same

the oneer ship of this splendid line, and 9th
OF the above gentlemen have been associated
together in the management of their respective
departments, since her first trip. You will

Yesterday. was observed in this city as
holiday; business was generally suspended,
and the city seemed almost entirely deserted,
after noon Early 10 the morning the military
companies were out, and made handsome
dispiay. Each company then repaired TO some
seauestered spot to discuss the merits OF
good dinner, and exhibit their skill at target
shooting. Several OF the schools spent the day
in the woods, while hundreds were absent on
picnic und excursions. The Democratic as
sociaticns and clubs visited Alexandra IN
body, to have ajollitca1ion with their political
brethren, on "Shuiers Hlil.'

,led, and The estimated number composing the
mass meeting was between three and four
thousand.
A National Salute was fired in this city, at
sunrise, noon, and sunset al night the city
was illuminated by display of rockets and
other fireworks. 4
The card of Messrs Toomhs, Stephens,
Gentry and other reonsant Wings, which APP
peared in the National intelligencer of :yester-
day. has created qaiie sensation in the ranks
Of both parties You will anticipate me, l
imagine, when | state that the gentlemen,
whose names are appended &c the card-strong-

and syow their nuruOse of resisting his cleo
lion. Many of Gen. SCOTS friends take the
thing very phiosophically, and really profess
10 believe that this demonstration will advance,
rather than retard his chances. A friend
near by suggests that the Gen. is, in one res
pect, the most unfortunate ofmen in being SO
often the recipient Of attacks, both in the
front and rear"
1t is said that MIR. Seward is vastly pleased
ut the course of Me- srs. Toombs g. Co., and
will use their letter to advantage at the North.
For the past two days the weather has been
oppressively hot. There are some indications
Oft storm this evening, for which favor and
blessing we most devouty pray. HzNKIco.
