The Delta of June lst presents the fol-

On the 1st day of May the troops of the
United States marched into this city, and
took up quarters in the Custom House.
They passed through streets deserted, the
shops and places Of business closed, the few
persons seen scowling bate at the process
sion, not a cheer for the return Of the old
flag, not welcome, not n smile to evidence
Joy at the relief from anarchy and despot-
ism. A stranger might have supposed that
happy and free people were about to sue
comb 10 the brute force of a barbarous aud
uncivilized race. So might the citizens Of
Rome have met tho entrance Of the Huns
into the then mistress Of the world.
No man could have dreamed that order

Streets in full security, and to the Joy ant

Slowly and gradually, at first, this changt
appeared, the terror of twelvcmonth wa
not TO be cast off in day, but, as ono b.

forward and speak out the sentiments whcl
had been crushed down but not eradicated
the stream gathered strength and fullness
till within the past week the wish to briny
themselves within the egis of the flag ha
been quite equal to the power of the auth
