The speeches we're all very good and were well
received. Evidently everybody had gone there
with the intention Of keeping on the very best
possible terms with himself and everybody else.
Our friend Ramsey, the "infant Editor" (size
and weight noted yesterday, Twas an immense fsa-
ture Of the intellectual repsst and Col. DumArs,
left good imprint upon those fortunate enough
to be there to hear him. .Wsshburn made a cap
itsl bit Of what followed after the room was
cleared for dancing let fancy tell. Like Ramsey
at the table 81 am too full for utterancs." The
editors who had left their wives at home, or who
hadn't any wives to bring, rsjOicsd and were sx.
eeeding glad that the ladies of Tin (lOts Of them
and none finer in the State) had taken compassion
on them in so pleasing style.
This morning business meeting was held, but
no business of special importance transacted, and
to-day the Knights of the Quill will disperse to
their homes. Those who were present were
good social fellows in good condition. Before
evening they viii all have departed, and Tifin
will subsids to its usual quistness. More anon.

prompted by envy and are not reliable.
