.oNp, Oct. 3O.--The President
and party arrived at fredericksburg,
this morning, and were greeted with
cannon firing, music, and an enthusi-
astic crowd. Ex-Congressman Brox.
ton welcomed him first, and tho Pres
ident regretted the shortness of his
stay, and introduced Secretaries Ev.
arts and Sherman. Both spoke brief
~. The arrival Of the train In Rich
mond was a signal for a salute from

as the party alighted from the cars.
A committee escorted them to the
platform, and Mayor Meredith ex-
tended cordial greeting, bidding
him God speed in his efforts to give
the country q pacific and constitution
al administration, and promising CO.
operation.
THE PRESIDENT IN RESPONSE
alluded to the early historical inter-
est attaching to Richmond, and to It's
growing importance as a commercial
center. He alluded to its great nat
ural advantages, and predicted a
glowing future. He spoke Of the
denser country population which is
already apparent because of the abo-
lition Of slavery, during which sys-
tenn the land was owned In large

for smaller farms.
EyAgTs.
The President introduced Mr.. Ev.
arts, who spoke briefly, and Mr.. Sher-
man, who began by praising the
President for his popular peace poll.
cy. He said that the Cabinet feared
that his political adversaries would
regard it as sign of weakness and
an abandonment of his position, but
he was supported by every member
Of his administration. He decided
to pursue it, but there was something
dependent upon the people, North
and South. They need not in the
policy forget there has been q war,
but must accept the results Of thai
war. The policy does not prevent
any man from leaving his State, bu,
demands obedience to all the powers
given the national government. VIZ

the Pacific; our hearts must blend
republicans and democrats must con.
cede each other to be honest and pat.
riotic.
Concluding, he alluded to the feaI
in the North that the South woult
not regard the constitutional amend
ments securing rights to all classes o.
citizens, but said off you will obey
these amendments this country vii

The town of Otnmwa,

Would be good place,
To raise vegetables in:
Its beautiful slope.
Is facing the sun;
And large stream OF water,
Through it do run.
And the land is real rich,
Along on each side;
Where the smooth looking stream,
SO pleasantly doth glide
And in bcautifull houses,
see it don't lack;
And also in addition.
A coal mine to back.
In railroad transportation,
II is not lacking;
For four runs through IL,
And strengthens it's backing;
Thus taking all things,
Into consideration;
II will make large town,
With such n location.

Elsie Morgan of Skunk river called
this morning.
He was brave Musketeer in ok
Company, 18th Iowa, taken out by j..
NJ. Hedrick Of this Office. He was
shot in the right corner of the left eye
1t Jonesboro, Georgia, in the rear of
Atlanta, the ball going under and be-
tween the lobes of the brain, coming
out at the back of the head, and quite
close to the spine. His wound at the
time, was regarded as necessarily fatal
by the surgeon of his regiment, and
by the other medical experts in Sher-
mans army, but Elsie, was soldier of
heroic mould and lived in spite of
the doctors, and against all reason
and science.
He is now hearty thrifty farmer,
and we are glad to notice his good
health and prosperity.
His recovery is one of the most re-
markable cases OH record.
