TRIP TO JAMESTOWN STEAMER MARYLAND.
RICHMOND, May III, 1857.

TRIP TO JAMESTowN-TH STEAMER MARYLAND.
RIcHsosD May H. 1857.
The steamer Maryland which left Washington satur-
day morning. arrived last evening making the entire
trip in thirtysix hours Under the command Of Captain
Charles Mitchell and superntendency of John Mattngy
ESQ., she behaved herself nobly indeed Since her repairs
and outfit she is not only comfortable but almost
luxurious and throughout the voyage sustained her
cent reputation for safety and seaworness Old she
is, her have to be proud of their property
II is yet determined on what place her this
season
stopped at Old Point Comfort before entering Hamp
for the of the regiment noticed several improve
ments going on here for resort The hotel IL
undergoing repairs under the direction of Messrs Scgur
& Co.
On Sunday forenoon passed jamestown on our way
up We had good view of the ground in preparation
for the celebration. VIM. Aen esq., of the richest
citizens of Virginia. and of the island of James
town, anchored his beautiful yacht Breeze the
time hallowed spot as passed.
The old wharf at jamestown has become too dilapi-
dated to be used for landing the excursonsts and the
steamers will be compelled land their living cargoes
by means of small boats
The freshet reported in the upper sections of James
river did not do much damage to the lower part further
than to several large piles of wood its banks;
In fact there but little else that could be damaged
The bottom lands were not overfowed as anticipated
from the rise above
There very commercial air about City Point
number OF large ships at the wharves, taking in
and dischargng freight and the river unusually
lively for miles above and below.
regret not being able before closing to give the
of the companies and officers of the Richmond regiment
well the number of who will appear in uniform
at the celebration Suffice it say there great excite
ment here in relation to the coming event. and have
hesitation in expressing the opinion that the occasion win
be of long remembrance to the descendants of the
first settlers of Virginia More anon.
