which have resulted in the capture Of the town

trophies OF victory that have fallen into their
hands.

Der of national ond patriotic airs, which
we're responded to by the Band in fine STYLE
The hags were, large American bunting

Commodore hoisted over the rebel fort
beauregard after its capture, amid the plau.
dts OF his victorious army. The other was
small bunting rebel flag, taken from the

recognition Of its loyalty, | know that he has
your warmest and sincerest thanks.
Mr.. Harrington's speech was frequently
interrupted by applause, and was well
received.
During IFS delivery, however, whenever
allusion was made by him to the rebel fac
portion Of the audience Kissed in token If
their adherence of the vile treason of which
it was the disgraced emblem. The kissing
was ill-timed, inasmuch as it caused several
line passages in the speakers remarks 10
be entirely lost to the audience.
After music by the Glee Club and Band
Capt. Horace Biddle, who received the
FlagO on the part of the city, was next in
troduced. Mr.. Biddle spoke as follows -
REMARKS OF Mr.. BlDDLg.
Ladies and Gentlemen:

more competent, more experienced person has
not been chosen to represent our city on This
truly Interesting occasion. And believe me, nv
regrets are the more sincere, since listening 10
,he eloquent address Of the gifted gentleman who
has just preceded me.
But while esteem these apologies as dine
alike to this intelligent audience and myself,
am at the same time admonished that the bonr
ior apologies is past, and that must proceed
right on to the discharge of the duty which the
very hatterng kindness of the honored Chief
Magistrate Of our city, has assigned me, on this
occasion. An occasion, permit me to say, Of
deep and laeting interest to every true and LOYAL
oeiawatean. We are assembled once more |
Eithin these old familiar walls TO do honor 10 a |
distinguished son Of our own LOYAL State. and |
70 express our devotion TO that cause, in the de-
fence OF which the gallant DUPONT has enacted
so prominent part. Would that the noble old
nero could but once more plant himsel. beneath
Tue ioids OF that starry banner, which he has
slorionsy defended in the past, and which no
even no" 10 30 mantully supporting. Would
