pcOplo, any Ouo Soui' So
and said ~ am from New York; and
gone to the lst table; but Southern men
did not wish to practice deceit 70 order !
to be on an equality with Now Workers !
Besides, we thought that if any one de- {
served more attention than others, it
would have been those who come
aboard last, the first passengcrs-those
from New York, being better acquain'
ted from having been on board longer
But these hEnglish do heaverything
curious. About II o'clock we got
breakfast, taking the bost to be had.--
When we, individually, got into the
breakfast room we saw groups OF men
with cloulded countenances, and crowds
of Southcrnors in close combat. AT
last they all sat down, sans ceremony,
and proceeded to satisfy the "inner
man" The whole affair o became n
"mess." Tho mules Of the boat were
hinted at, but it was evident the pow.
ers of the monster had issued q decree
which could not be enforced. Servants
came and went like men utterly con
founded bringing what they had and
suffering it to be taken by anybody who
willed. Our brave little Virginian had
them waiting on him and his wife in fine
style, evidently determined that the
North should not Guido Virginia.
Several times he got up from the table
and went in person for whatever his
kind heart and quick perception sug-
gestcd for his lady. 1t was plain that
he intended to Help her in Broom style,
f and on that case upon Wise principles
After breakfast, the crowd adjourned
to the deck, and whiled away the time,
t A brisk gale was blowing which
, caused a lively demand, for hat strings
and played merry with ladies' dresses,
r showing more ankles and much higher
T.. up than tho ladies themselves expected
q Yet, they would promenade in spite OF
adverse circumstances.
THE DfNNEE.
=. When four o'clock rolled round, there
vas q general fusion. No distinction
was.made. The North could not lead
the South always. 1t would have been
too much of a sectional issue, and the
, 'impending crisis" would have resulted
| in a general dissolution, seeing which,
something warned the managers to pur.
-, sue one course, and that course was
such as the South demanded. 1t was u
! tolerablo dinner, but not worth the 70
, cents we paid for 1t, After dinner we
, enjoyed ourseIf in looking more closely
at the machinery Of the Great Eastern,
. and would speak of it, had wo time
: About 7o'clock we met the Philadelphia
which steamer we boarded and reached
I Baltimore about nine at night. The
Great Eastern is about 20 miles up the
Bay where we left her, being afraid TO
venture any nearer on count OF the
lack of water on the bar. She will re-
q main there until Friday 0o.morrow)
G President Buchanan goes to see her this
G evening. We close our remarks about
the monster ship by remarking that it
# certainly is q great wonder, and in
+ times of war would be fine for trans.
r porting troops. But she will never
y "pay" Stock now in her is not worth
q so cents in the dollar. When we con-
v slider that il takes some four hundred
hands to work her, and the interest on
the five millions ofdolIars it cost to build
her, who does not know that she is too
d big for profit. Besides it would take
such II vessel too long to load. Other
n vessels would lond, deliver tlIeir cargos
:, at the destination and be back ready to
load again before the Big ship would get
2 ready to start.
k IN RIDING ON THE SHIP
II Won can scarcely tell that she moves
