4. G. Lucas, ESQ, editor of the ksiths-
burg Observer, re gently took trip to this
city on the steamer New Boston, and this is
what he says, in his paper, of that boat:
We are not given to sdulstory puffs. and
tall comparisons are invidious," we will not,
therefore, compare the Boston and its crew
with any other boat, but wilfsimply say that,
so long es the Boston is commanded by Capt
Buford and manned by its present crew, it
will Justly merit a very large share OF public
patronage The fact is Capt. Buford and his
gentlsranly subordinates - clerks. pilots,
steward aud waiters-sach in their place,
know how to make the passenger feel at home
end the man who will not be good natured
with such surroundings is a churl, and ought
to paddle his own canoe" with NO one to
steer for him.
Here is another little item from the same
paper:
We called on Danforth of the ARGUS, and
Notwithstanding his bear like performances
IN the paper, in his sanctum he knows as well
how to act the gentleman as''any other man. .
We were highly pleased with our short visl,

such an emblem, such a signal to rally around,
such an insignia to mark the action Of the Penn
sylvania troops.
Since those flags were first presented, the
bearers have undergone heroic trials. Upon
score of batte-helds each has been unfurled-in
camp and on the march, amid privation and
disaster, in victory and in defeat, these flags
have waved. Throughout all the Southern
States, upon the site of every contest, some one
of these banners have been seen, recognized, and
cheered Could they but speak-oould but some
tongue be put within their folds and they be
enabled to tell, as WASHINGTON IRVING made the
interesting volume in the British Museum speak,
what a record they could unfold From their
high position they could overlook the fight, and
tell us not only how generals behaved, but of the
silentFsecret suffering which found no utterance;
of the helpless agony and undying patriotism,
which, coming from private, has not been
recorded by man.
And now, when the tumult and the turmoil is
over, when peace has succeeded strife, and vic
tory been achieved, the bearers of these stand
aids come to our city, and on the site OF the
Declaration of Independence reconseorate the
ground by placing their beloved banners there.
Many Of them are tattered and bloody; many
of them are but shreds and fragments of what
they were when FIRST the Governor gave them to
their keepers hands, but purer thrice purer are
they now, soied, torn, and with inscriptions
erased than when bright and new they went
forth at the head of marching columns. They
have been baptized in the blood of the best of
earth; they have been shot at anl torn by Rebel
balls, and those of which the least is left must
once have been where shot most thickly fell
They went forth without any complimentary in
scription; they come back with the mangled rem
nants OF names emblazoned upon them. The bat
ties they fought have been inscribed upon them
by order oftbe Government, by command of the
nation, and when we find these titles erased, it
proves that not content with honor acquired
they flew still bravely in other battles. The
United States has inscribed upon them 'Well
done," and now as they are returned to our
capital, they afford the proudest monument of
the popular heroism.
When the day is past, and the ceremony done,
and they are once more redeposted in the Gus.
tody of the Commonwealth, we will hear of them
no more for years; yet the remembrance OF the
deeds which theyhave achieved, will be immortal
and the children and the children's children of
those who bore and those who followed them
Will visit the capital, IN order to gaze upon the
flag with which their fathers name was asso-
clated. The ceremony will be performed with
all the grandeur incident upon the day selected,
and what more happy combination of dates
could have been maze than the one which opens
a new decade in the nations life, by the laying
aside forever Of the banners of hard-fought aud
triumphantly ended war!
