WASHINGTON, September 18.-The Presidentia
party arrived safely at o'clock this morning.
Among the scenes at Antietam, just west Of the
main stand, and within the cemetery enclosure; Is
limestone rock, six feet long by two or three feet
high, known far and wide throughout Washington
county as 'Lee Rock" from the fact 1t Is SAID
that General Lee stood thereon during the hercesi
Of the fight at Antietam, directing the operations
of the Confederate army. During the day, parties
of curiosity hunters were busiy engaged chipping
away pieces OF the rock as rehcs: McClenan's
position during the fight was pointed out near q
red farm house, in a position as lutte less com
manding than that occupied by Lee.
= The following illustrates the harmony OF the
ceremonies. The 'loudly called for Governor
Geary, Of Pennsylvania, on the conclusion OF the
address Of Ex-Governor Bradford, showed tha'
MANY Pennsylyanans were present and that there
was an undercurrent of ;ll-feeling on account ol
some slight real or fancied, to their Governor, IN
his name not appearing in the programme. Inc
outory for Governor Geary for tine time pelne
oyerpowered the calls for the President, and pre-
vented word Of the reading OF the poem from
being heard. The brass band essayed to perform
q piece with as little effect; and finally, after a
hurried consultation on the stand, Governor Geary
was induced to present himself, and asked that
the programme should be gone through with
without interruption. When he subsequently
spoke, after the proceedings were ended, he
showed considerable feeling.
The President and members OF the Cabinet
left the stand while Gov. Geary was SPEAKING, IN
order to proceed to Reedysvile to take the train,
and this proceeding was taken by some OF the
friends of the Governor as an intentional slight.
Gov Geary opened his speech as follows: Eel
low-ctizens, after all you have heard to-day had
supposed you would want nothing more. Inc
programme opened and concluded with prayer.
Those who have waited must come in at the last
hour. But my friends, still have place IN the
hearts OF the people. lApplause.) When you
come to Pennsylvania we'll let every body speak
We want to hear thanks to Almighty God d. tor r rm nus
no gag. (Applsuse) We have no programmes
1or this purpose. (Renewed applause.) We have
no gag on our programmes.
