On Monday morning there was another pri-
vate entertainments, and the members Of the
Convention, with the exception Of those who
had accepted the invitation to visit the Cres-
cent City, bade goodbye to Mobile. And this
goodbye was hard word to soy. We had
been received, not as strangera. h-.s as friends.
We had been entertained with highly hospi-
table and delicate courtesy, whose Like we may
never know again. Mobile had attached MS to
its fortunes with bonds stronger than
hooks Of iron. We had made friends whom
we shall cherish aa long as we breathe the
breath OF life. And~it WAS as much as the
most stoical could do to say goodbye and
maintain even show Of resignation. But the
last shake OF the hand was given. the steamer

The delegates to the Press Convention, as
