cheers for their respective States.
Mr.. Soule, of louisiana, in reply to a
loud call, made few happy remarks, as
also did the other members Of the com

hearty cheers. At o'clock, by invitation
of Gen. Pierce, the committee with Q
number of other gentlemen, took the cars
for trip to Lake Winnipissiogee. They
are to return by special train this evening
and will leave in the morning for New
York,
