There was also a letter from Gov. Wise, of yir-
ginia, copy Of which we are unable to obtain in
season for this report.
6eD. BrazeltoD then called out. and after
sonie humorous remarks, he announced the termi.
nation of the festival.
The proceedings throughout were eniivened by
music, at intervals, from the Knoxville Band and
an occasional report from the cannon The assem-
ply was graced by the presence of Thousands of
iadie5, whose rosy cheeks and bright ewes gave ,s
an exalted idea of Tennessee beauty. There was
no disorder or disturbance of any kind on the

crowd. is somewhat remarkable. Perhaps how

THE BALL.
We ayailed ourselves of polite invitation from
mr; ana mrs. vance, to make brief visit to the
Dali gwen tonight at their excellent hotel the
East Tennessee House, near the railroad lepot-
Quite large number of young ladies and gentle
men were dancing in the spacious hail. and we
can say with truth that if such an array of femi
mime beauty were to appear in a Rjcbmond hall
room, there would soon be a diminution in the
number Of youthful bachelors in the metropolis
The supper table was abundantiy supplied with
substantias and uxuries, and the whole affair was
admirably managed
Thus terminated the GrceneyiIle iubilee We
are under obligations to Dr. Geo w. Foute, Messrs
Ros. u. Kingsley, 8. q. w. IIaynie Jas IL Rum
bough, Judge Barton, Nr. Vance and others, for
various courtesies, and to Mr. Kingsley especially
for valuable aid in getting up our report. In this
connection, We tender thanks to Mr. Campbell
superintendent of the Danvile Railroad Conduc.
tor Conway OF the South Side Railroad, and Presi.
dent Cunningham of the Z. T. and Va. Railroad,
for attentions on our Journey hither. W.
ANOTHER COMPLICATION WITH GREAT BRIrAIs.-We
are likely to have question with the British Co
vernment as to our North Western boundary lire,
which is about to be run and marked by the Joint
Boundary Commission. Atr. Archibald Campbell
is the American Commissioner, and will leave to-
morrow, to take passage for California. He was
employed there the last year upon the duty, and
now returns to it. The New York Journal of C, M.
merce says:
The question which has arisen is to the title to
the important group of islands in or near the
Straits of Fuca, and between Vancouver's Island
and the main laud, and South of the parallel ot
frrtyDfne. By the treaty, the 49th parallel is our
Northern boundary, till it strikes yancouver's Is
land, but then it turns South, giving the whole o
that island to England. The British Government
set up claim to small islands as appurtenances
to the larger ones, while on our side, claim
every thing South of 40 except Vancouver's Island
When the Oregon treaty was before the Senate for
ratification Mr.. Benton made some statements as
to the Importance of these small islands as a key
to the Straits and Gulf, and claimed them as be.

TIE "BRITIsH OUTRAGE MEETING In NEW Or.
LEASs-A very large meeting was held in New
Orleans last week to take into consideration the
outrages on American vessels by the British. The

ToRrAro.--A violent tornado visited a portion
of our county last Monday evening, extending
from Long Glade to Soutb Mountain, u distance OF
prostration of trees fsnces, &c. The storm seemed
to have spent It's fury when it reached the neigh
borhood of our frend, Mr.. George Shreekhse, who
lives about mile from Mt. Sidney. A large Swis-
ser barn belong TO Mr.. Shreekhise, was uuroofed,
four horse wagon and riding carriage carried
some distance by the furious element. aud almost
demolished The shed attached to the barn was
removed by the violence of the storm, and carried
at least 100 yards. The mean breadth of the tor

the exception of the prostration OF trees aud
fences We have heard Of no damage other than
that hero mentioned.-iStdantoR( Pd) ViRdtcdtor.
BOARDING AN AMERICAN SHIp.--Quite an agreeable
meeting at sea took place lately. An American
ship, bound for Australia, fell in with British
transport. As a mark Of respect, the American
dipped her ensign. This brought boat with a
plumber of officers from the transport, whe were re-
gaied on board, aud, on leaving, were honored by
the band with "Ysnkee Doodle" and "God Save
the Queen" At night, desirous to proiong the
