partially suspended; every body seems to
be out Of DOOR, and the city wears gala
appearance. The marching here and
there Of bodies Of military going to the
rendezvous AT the neck, has made every
thing lively. The train which bore
the President and party, left Washington
at half pastone yesterday afternoon, and
the distinguished visitors set loot on Boa
ton soil at 1915 this morning. Nothing
occurred until the train reached Putnam
