rived at this plnce last night and was met by the
Scott Guards, of Georgetown, and largo delega-
ton of citizens. He made no speech, merely
thanking the citizens for the favorable reception at
their hands, and expressing in warm terms his
sense of the hospitality and kindness he had met
with in Kentucky. During his progress from
Blue Licks the citizens on the line of the route
turned out freely. and his carriage was several
times stopped to receive the greetings oil the viii
lagos on the road.
The fair largely attended, and the cattle
exhibited were very fine. About fourteen thou
sand strangers are now in town, mostly influential
citizens of the State General Scott will visit the
fair grounds this morning, and will then address
the citizens. The welcome extended to him here
partakes of nothing Of a political character, the
Democrats and Wings alike sharing in it.
The Kentucky military companies make fine
appearance, and great numbers of soders who had
fought under Scott are in town. The place pre-
sents beautiful appearance. Large parties OF la
dies and gentlemen focking in, principally on
horseback, 1t is also jubilee among the slaves,
hundreds of whom, male and female, crowd the
streets, walking and mounted. General Scotts

IMMORTALITY OF MAS.-Why is il
that the rainbow and the cloud come
over us with II beauty that is no, Of
earth, and that pass av; and leave us
to muse on their faded loveIincss ?
Why is ii ,hat the Stars which hold
their festival around their midnight
throne are set above the grasp OF our
limited faculties, forever mocklng us
with nnapproachable glory And why
is it that bright forms OF human beauty
are presented TO our view and taken
from us, leaving the thousand streams
of affection to flow back in AlpmCtor
rents upon our hearty We are born
for higher destiny than that Of earth.

never fades. where the stars will be set
out before us like islands that slumber

being that now passes before us like
meteors, will stay in our presence for
ever.
