Soon after the steamer had left its pier yesterday
morning the young voyagers settled down to quiet
enjoyment of the river scenery, and to speculation
in regard to the country. The party, as WHOLE
gave little trouble to J. Owen Moore, who
accompanied them and amused them by
stories about the country and about the
the different things they would see at Washingtons
Headquarters at NeWburg in the afternoon. Mt.
Moore is gentleman living in WashiEgtonylie,
who became interested in the Fresh ALI una

a party of city children a country vacation. great
deal of hard work on his part resulted finally IN
request by the people OF this charitable town Tor
100 children for the village Itself, when contains
only 400 or 800 inhabitants.
When the boat reached Ncwburg the young
travellers were marched to the Opera House, wDere
a luncheon awaited them. The streets thither were
lined with men, women and children. and all the
windows were filled with people curious to see
those little New-York folks" In the Opera
House. which w. ID. Dckey, the proprietor,
had opened for the purpose, TWO long
tables were set, and large company OF New
burg ladies stood ready to minister to the
sharp appetItes of their young guests. Tho tables
were loaded with milk and buns, and sandwiches
and cakes of many kinds wien the small army OF
occupation arrived. but when 1t departed they were
as bare rs a wheat fed after harvest. Before Ihe
work of destruction began the Rev. John Forsyth,
