The weather Of Yesterday, dull as it tried to be
was out-generaled by the party that accompanied
Potomac Lodge on its excursion to Glymont. A
large party embarked on the steamer Mount Yer

alongside the Alexandria wharves an immense
crowd poured on board, filling the commod ous
cabins and decks of the steamer 10 their utmost
capacity IL Is supposed that the steamer car
ried down nearly one thousand persons The
Crowded state of the boat was an impeachment to
pleasure on board but soon as she released
her living freight at Glymont "joy Was uncon-
nneo" Esputa took part as usual, and his
nlmble bow never did better service The noor
Of the pavilion, under charge of Mr. John A
Field, was crowded with merry dancers all the
day, and bounding feet seemed never weary of
the delightful amusement. The inner man was
we'll cared for, and the contents of divers baskets
disappeared in the course of the way Of all flesh
The caterer, too, had made ample provision for
the company, and Large numbers awaited them

After day Of enjoyment the company re-eu-
barked. and reached Alexsndriz about 8 o,clock
last evening, the Washing toniaus getting home

Its comments on Senator Douglas. In another

Mr.. Appleton is neither a proprietor nor an

mary interest in it since he withdrew from it
In April, 1857; and that further than two or
three occasional contributions within the last
six months, Mr.. Appleton has had no agency,
direct or indirect, in the conduct of the Union.
The IntetIigeneer estimates the total Federal
revenues to be disbursed during the present
year, for which appropriations have been made.
