I
! DEAR ADVERTISER Il returned Few
DAYS since from Kansas City, not the City
OF "Seven Hills" but OF seventy-seven
True the Expos ton was on hands, but il
was not that alone which drew me there,
so much as desire to see, t. hear and
take bv the hand the Hon. Jefferson Da-
Wis. the beloved old President OF the cause
that is said to be lost; and it is reasonable
To conclude tl.at of the many thousands
who visited the exposition, large num-
Der were influenced by the self-same mo-
tive and eager curiosity which possessed
myself The Republican members OF the
fair ASSOCIATION had united in the
invitation to Mr. Davis to come; the pa
pers had for weeks previous heralded the
news r and wide, the fare had been re-
duced on all the railroads entering there,
and every body naturally expected to see
a big crowd. Mr.. Davis reception was
truly gratifying to every southern heart,
and afterwards expressed himself rs not
only delighted with the feeling Of cordi-
atty shown him. but with the city itself
he was accompanied by his son, Jefferson
Davis. Jr., a manly handsome looking
fellow Of some nineteen years OF age, and

While in the city they qnartered at the
Coates House, and as may well be sup
posed, were the recipients OF the most
generous hospitality and unremitting at
tenton Of the citizens whose guests they
were, Republicans vieing with those OF
different political faith in their attentions.
There WAS vast crowd collected together
at the exposition grounds on Tuesday,
18th inst. Mr.. Davis and party were ac
companed by distinguished Republican
citizens. Ex L. S. Senator, D r. Atchis-
son, (the arly friend and college mate Of
Mr.. Davis and Senator f. NJ. Cockreil,
Of Mo-, arrived in carriages at half pas,
eleven O'Clock, their arrival being the
signal for prolonged cheering. \ stand
from which Mr. Davis was to deliver his
address. At - o'clock Mr.. Davis COM
menced his address which occupied about
one hour in its delivery. His opening
part was most graceful tribute for the
cordial reception rendered him and a
most happy ailus.on to its non-partizan
character, tie era ef COED feeling between
the sections taus f3reshadowed, &c. |
cannot pretend to give an idea Of the ad-
dress, more than to say Mr. Davis Wisely
foreborc any illusions to any thing OF Il
political nature and was very frequently
appauded for the sentiments uttered.
GA the evening 4 TIE 18th, tie CITY
was grandly Illuminated and Mr.. Davis

ANOTHER WEDDrNa.-There q

ANOTHER WEDDING.- There are
few subjects on which more has been
written than matrimony, andno mat
ter how much is written, it never
pals upon the appetite the relish OF
it grows with the supply; aud so
with weddings no matter how many
take place. each one is of equal inter
est. And it is no wonder. n pleas
ant writer says what spectacle can
be imagined more touchingly beauti
full or impressive than that which a
marriage ceremony presents! 10
witness the voluntary conservation OF
two intelligent beiags on the altar Of
mutual faith and afiection,-the I'M
ion Of their lives and iortunts in a
solemn covenant, which naught but
death may dissolve, is indeed a
scene Of surprising interest Such
scene was witnessed last Tuesday
morning at the marriage of Mr. j.
l.. Cridcr and Miss Quinnie Chase,
daughter Of DR.. o. G.. Chase, ut the
VI. +. Church. BY invitation, large
number Of friends assembled to wit
ness the ceremony. The altar was
decorated with flowers, and present
ed neat appearance Miss Love
presided at the Organ, which was Il
fine Parlor Concerto, loaned for the
occasion by Mr.. III. f. Bonsteel. !
The seats reserved for the family and
special friends of the parties were
Indicated by white ribbon. The
ushers we're, Gen. O'ey, Mr.. Deakin
and DR.. s. l. Butler. who wore
white favo-s on the lappels of their
coats.
At nine O'Clock, the parents and
relatives of the Bride and Groom en-
tered and were seated, while the
organist gave some fine selections
from Tannhauser, Balfe and others
after few minutes of expectation,
the wedding party entered and took
their place in front of the altar,
while the strains of the Wedding
March were filling the air with melo-
