Major General Burnside Is In Lexington.
The Observer says he was serenaded one even

three lusty cheers greeted him, with . pro.
him hundred more. He thanked tho peonle

come to hear him with the expectancy Of
being interested, would perhaps 20 away dis
appointed. But Notwithstanding this dcc1ara-
ton he didsuceeed In Interesting an immense
crowd during the short time he spoke. He
alluded to the fact that he had been q Breck-
in1idge man IN the last great Presidential
campaign, stating that he was as sincere and
honest III that position then--bccause he
deemed it right-as he WAS in his devotion to
the Union nQW-a cause In which be WAS en-
listed heart and soul: He stated that martial
law had been declared In this State precedinr
the recent election in view of the fact that al
invading foe was on its borders, and wit With a
design to give ali loyal men chance to cast
their sntfrages unmolested. The disloYal had
no right to approach the ballot-box, and
therefore have no right to complain. He COM
pllmented Kentucky in highly flatterinc
manner, stating that he had found it the most
loyal State in bis department., and had so re-
Strictly loyal men here than in Ohio Or Tndi-
ana, though the latter was his birth place. We
shall not, however. attempt to giro his

those who heard him sccmcdnot only pleased
with his soldierly appearance but with what
he said, and to entertain tho fullest conf

= Ny last letter, written from Portland, car
r1ed the festivities up to Saturday, when the
'tclam bake" came of. Naturally, We all cx.
pccted that the Portlandcrs would now allow
us to disperse aad so home; but on Sunday
evening ne we're informed that they were de-
termincd to give us sail around the Islands
on Monday-the weather On Saturday being
too hazy for a good view Of the bay. The
excursionists Ill felt that this was too much,
as large number had resolved to 60 to Que
bee On Monday morning, but the programme
waB changed, and the steamer Gen. Berry took
Us out among the Islands, most delightful
pleasure trip. Here the hospitality Of the
people Of Portland was again demonstrated.
Tho juices Of the grape, corn and barley vera
in abundance. The weather was clear aud tho
sea calm, and all enjoyed the trip heartily,
Immediately after the steamer landed, a

series Of magnificent entertainments gotten
up 1or tleT pche1l ana enjoyment. Jonas h.
Perley, Es4:, President Of tho Portland Mer~
chantA' Exchange, and Thomas c.
G. Hesey, Esq, President Of the
Portland Board Of Trade, responded In
brief but hearty speecht s-regretting that the
excursionIsts could not wait longer and parti-
ciratc in further festivities. After the meet
irg had given three cheers for the Union, and
three more for the ladies Of Portland, 1t was
adjourned, and tie excursionists prepared to

It Was designed to go in body to Quebec,
under IN invitation from the Bolrd Of Trade
OF that city, but not more than thirty or forty
could accept Of the invitation. Some visited
the White Mountains; but the greater por-
tiou went on to Boston, and hence home By
the Boston and Worcester and New York

Thu merchants OF Montreal feel somewhat
annoyed that they had no opportunity to pay
the e3cursionis!s any attention. Arriving In
this city twcnty-tour hours sooner than the
time laid down in the programme, and only
stopping one day, 1t was impossible for tbs
Montreal people to do anything; and then

s. The contest between the civil government
: and the Catho1ic clergy has not yet come to a
conclusion. Neither party seems disposed to
surrender its claims to the property IN dis
pute; but the government perseyores frn1y
Il its determination to compel the clergy to
submit TO the control Of the civil authorities.
Tho churches throughout the country are
generally closed; In the few cases where they
are open the priests refuse to conduct the
services. 1t is reported that large company
of nuns from the converts in the interior, are
now on their way to Carthaggcna, with the In
tention Of leaving the country. There is lit
tie doubt that majority Of the priests will
follow shortly. Yet this state Of afairs does
not seem to trouble anybody very much. The
priests everywhere In Central America haYa
always been the most active fomenters Of rev.
olution again=t liberal government, and the
strongest supporter OF centralism; as natural
consequence they haye in great degree lost
tle confidence and respect Of the masses Of
Intelligent people.

paid in eemi- installmcnts. In addition
10 t1is $500 will be paid BY The State OF Rhode

Charles Grace, as his child, By his first wife,

evidence, which occupied three or four days
hearing, was Of very conflicting character.
Tho Judge stated that the testimony Of both
Mrs. Hatfield and Mr. Grace was utterly ire

evidence, he formed decided preponderance
in favor Of the petitioner, and therefore Or
dered the child to be given into her custody.
