The whole party escorted by Hon D Morrell, Member of Congress elect, then proceeded to visit the great works of the Cambria Iron Company perhaps the largest rail works in the country. Af- ter an hour or so thus engaged, the guestswere invited by Messrs. Wood, Morrell & Co.,, to sump- tuous entertainment.
 This over, the train moved on to Irwins Station, where halt of about hour occurred for the pur- pose of inspecting the Westmoreland Coal Com panys works. The Party then came direct to Pitts burgh, arriving about 73 P. M.
 To day the guests will be shown some of our ex- tensive manufacturing establishments, and to-mor- row will start pn the return ip, via the West Penn sylyaflia railroad andB Blairsyille function.
 It is to be regretted that distinguished and in- telgent party of visitors have not allowed them selves longer time in which to examine the great manufacturing facilities of the State and especial 1 of Tn tOfi fT, ot we have here to be seen, would require at least all the time allowed for the wh ole trip. We are glad, however to welcome them for even 50 brief a Yist and hope it will be profitable and entertaining Some forty of the gentlemen comprising the party above referred to-, left Philadel- phia on Monday morning the 18th ult., and wereifdr the entire week the guests of the Iron and Steel Association and several of the R.R Companies of Penn. The party was increased at various points along the different routes until it reached Pittsburgh when il. numbered about one hundred per 1t was entertained with princely munif- cence during the entire week, by the asso- ciation and R. R. Companies above refer redto, and transported from one point to another in the most luxurious manner that has yet been attained in Railroad travelling. Every facility was afforded, that one weeks time would permit, to visit the mining and manufacturing regions of that 7wealthiest of States. These facilities were made as avail ablesas possible by the whole party. The bearing of the Vice President during the whole excursion was dignifed, and com handed the highest respect of all parties. The other gentlemen were earnest in pur- suit of the objects which had led to their assembling, to wit, an investigation into the manufacturing, n mining and mineral re- sources of the Key Stone State. a.a- B ' There was no rowdyism or undignifed EEdepotment on the part of, any individual conneeted with the expedition, thus pre- sentinga quite a contrast to the wonderful political campaign. of still higher func- tionaryl of the Government, which was so slheply humiliating to the American people, E3 q A-r F.F = r and which so effectually extinguished the political prospects of several aspirants for political power.
