Visit of the Presiden, to the Grea, Eastern.

Il
THURSDAY, August 9, 1860.
The announcement, as first made In the Star
few days since, that the President and suite would
leave the city in the 7.4O train this morning for
Annapolis, visit to the Great Eastern, created
quite desire among those Of our citizens and
temporary sojourners who contemplated visiting
this monster steamship, to avail themselves #
this opportunity, that, In addition TO a view of
the vessel, they might be afforded the gratiHca
ton OF participating in the enjoyments and many
pleasant incidents consequent On the presence Of
such a distinguished party. Accordingly, on
reaching the depot this morning, some time pre-
vious to the departure of the train we found the
cars filled with anxious passengers.
The President Of the United States arrived
about quarter past seven, accompanied by Miss
Lane, Private Secretary Buchanan. Secretary
Toucey, Mrs. o. Taylor, Capt Lee aud wife MI.
Riggs (banker) and daughters, Mai. Alexander
and daughte Commissioner Blake, Col. johnson
(Paymaster) and wife, Mr.. McGraw, and Mr.
Browne, Of the Constitution. These honored
guests were invited to occupy seats In the second
car OF the train, which was comfortably arranged
for their especial accommodation. The President
was in an unusually happy mood, and seemed to
be very much gratifed at the prospect Of a
pleasant trip and an opportunity Of seeing this
exhibition Of superior nautical skill
The train moved of at precisely forty minutes
past seven, and is now approaching the Anna polls
Junction. The cultivated state Of the fields all
along the way display the industry of those re-
siding ia the vicinity, but at the same time pre-
sent sorrowful spectacle regards the condition
of the plants and vegetables, all appearing dried
and Parched, from the great drought which has
recently prevailed in this, in other sections of
the country.
But we are now at the Annapolis Junction
Those who intend visiting the Great Eastern are
exchanging their seats I'm this for others in the
train for Annapolis, so yoar correspondent, in
order not to be left behind, must bid the Star
" good by'' for the present LOG.

the Statue to the she'll walk. 1t was densely
crowded with the officers of the meeting and
spectators An Immense arch of cloth, lighted
from the inside, and transparent, surrounded the
statue Upon 1t were the names of the Union
candidates, John Bell, Of Tennessee, and Edward

toes. addresses were made by prominent speak
