Invitations were extended 70 all the celebrities, p0-
liticsl and fashionable, now in town, and by ten
o'clock large and distinguished company had as
sembled. Among others, we noticed exPresident
Fillmore; Hon. Mr.. Guthrie, Hon. Mr. Campbell, and
Col. Jefferson Davis, Of the cabinet; M. Bodisco,
Compile de Sartigis, Mr.. Champion, and many others
Of the corps diplonatique; Thomas Francis Meagher
ESQ.,, Hon. MIR. Murray, Senators Soule, Houston and
Benjamin, ex Postmaster General Hubbard, ex-At
torney General Crittenden, and host of other minor
luminares, including large representation of both
branches OF the service, the naval and the military
The large first floor dining room, which was appro
priately ornamented with national flags and other
decorations was thrown open for dancing, which
was kept up with great spirit till very late, or
rather very early hour the everlasting German coti
lon terminating somewhere towards the not very
small hours Of the morning. Two bands were in at
tendance, one of which, that of the United States
Marine Corps, continued to play national airs and
marches, in the upper hall, throughout the evening.
Among the ladies much admired for the elegance Of
their toilette and their personal attractions were
Mrs. Coventry Waddell, Mrs. Joseph Riggs and Miss
Withers, of your city; Mrs. Senator Thompson, of
New Jersey; Mrs. Whitney, Mrs. Brodhead, Miss
Polk and Miss Michler, Of Pennsylvania; Mrs. Be-
disco and Miss Scott of Washington. 1t is, perhaps,
invdious, however to discriminate in such GALAXY.
The supper, which did infinite credit to the pro-
prietors Of the establishment was served in the la
dies dining room. The carte, which l send you, is
printed, as you will see, on white satin.
The ball seemed to be universally considered as
the most delightful one Of the season, and GER
tertainments which have rendered the capital SO
attractive this winter. Office holders and Office
seekers Gins and "Quts," We'd with each other in
good humor and gayety, all seeming to be equally
determined to Danish, for the night at least cares,
