he had gone through all the workshops he request
ed by the courteous agent, Mr. Newhof, 10 lay the
foundation Tor new sword making machine, which he
did, laying the brick ard spreading mortar in a most
workmunkc manner, taking occasion to make a few
graceful and appropriate remarks respecting the welfare
OF the Factory and its Importance to the Confederacy
The party consisting Of the Vice President, Joshua G.
Wright, Esq, DR.. Midway. Messrs Froelich and New
hof, then adjourned to the counting house, where
beautiful Swor' and Lance accepted by Mr.. Ste
pheus after which Dir Wright in an exceedingly bril-
liant and happy impromtu speech, presented the Vice
PTcsiGca. The assembled workmen, who received him
in The most enthusiastic manner. Holding the Sword
and Lance, Mr. Stephens made spirited address, stat
ing that being accidentally detained here, he had ac
cepted this invitation to visit the Sword Factory with
out supposng that he should ynng at all equal
10 tie magnitude and finish of the works be had just in
spected. He complimented the firm on the patriotism
and energy displayed in the undertaking, and very
beautifully urged on the workmen the dignity of the
abOur in which they engaged, assuring them that
they were no less employed in defending their country
and were no less necessary for her protection than gen.
erals in the field statesmen in the cabinet He then
spoke Of the high qualification with which he had re-
ceYed the beautiful presented to him, saying he
should take them with him to let other sections see what
the Old North State was doing
MIR. Stephens was evidently highly gratifed by his
visit and reception the only regret being the absence OF
