AT the proper stage of the proceed.
ings, Doctor Hale who presided
handsomely, arose and SAID !: Gen
tlemen -
The occasion which brings us to-
gether this evening, is an interesting
and important one; and it is to be
hoped, an suspicious one to this VAL
ley and region.
The visit OF the distinguished gen.
tlemen who honor US with their pres
ence tonight, together with the re.
cent appropriation of Congress, tor
the Improvement Of our river, re-
wives within us the hope long defer
red-that "the good time coming is
close at hand, when we shall have
such au improved navigation of the
Kanawha river as will unlock the
vast mineral treasures OF our hills
which have so long lain dormant and
useless, wanting this one thing need
full for their rapid, extensive and
profitable development.
On behalf of the citizens of Charles
ton and the Kanawha Valley gener
ally, | take pleasure in rendering to
our distinguished guests au earnest
and cordial welcome among US, and
in expressing the hope that, when
they leave us, they may be able to
carry with them some pleasant re,>
objections of their visit to our beauti-
full valley"
The President then announced, in
their proper order, the toasts given
below which were responded to by

We regret that it is impossible for
us to give detailed report of the
leading speeches. We must say for
Gen. Humphreys that his words were
appropriate, handsome and fifty spo.
ken. He sketched, in graceful
manner, the rise and progress of in
ternal improvements under Govern
ment auspices, and the connection OF
the Engineer Corps Herewith. He
referred in pleasant terms to the Wis
il of his party to the Valley, and ex-
pressed their high satisfaction with
what they had seen and heard. He
was enthusiastically received and
loudly applauded.
Mr.. II. L. Peyton of Virginia,
made, in response to the second regu-
lar toast, an eloquent and stirring
speech. Some passages were nota-
bic for the rhetorical power they dis
played. The effect upon the audi
ence was to produce the loudest DEM
constructions of satisfaction.
Colonel Craighill responded happi-
" and wittily to the kanawha Xiv
er Improvement. Colonel Caring
ION spoke well, as he does upon every
theme, to the toast, The James River
and Kanawha Canal. Speakers from
our own State followed in the order
given in the programme, and at the
conclusion OF Colonel Byrnes
remarks, the entertainment conclu-
ded.
We desire here to bear testimony
to the pleasure expressed by all the
guests at the elegant preparations,
the superb bill of fare, and the per
