...Augusta, Ne, Juae 6.-The news
of Blaine's nomination was received here
with the widest enthusiasm.
Soon the despatch came announcing
his domination, followed by the roar of
whistles, the clang Of bells, and the
shouting Of the happy crowds but no
change was perceptible in Mr. Blaine's
appearance as he received the congratu-

came rushing in on Mr.. Blaine almost
literally by armfuls. Hundreds of des-
patches followed hundreds from all parts
of the country, from every state.
This evening a special Bangor and way
train arrived with thirteen cars and up
ward of a thousand persons. The visi-
tors marched to the residence of Mr..
| Blaine, who received them and addressed
them.
Here is the eloquence which melody
and beauty when combined evoke in the

sweet, exquisite voices of Misses Mary
Barnes, Title McIntire, Carrie and Fan

and the continent strains ripple along on
that glorious tide of melody on which
rapture floats in its highest and sweetest
delirium. Miss Pauline Blount presides
at the organ and with every stroke of her
graceful and skillful fingers the purest
notes of melody are awakened, and they
too are frelghted with the richest argosies
of enchaDtnenl."

committee representing two Confederate
societies and escorted to the house of
Major w. Stuart Symington, on North

somewhat stouter, but his grand height
six feet four-enables him to carry his
weight with the old heavy cavalry air
that the ladies of Richmond found so
irresistible twenty years ago. He was
entertained yesterday evening at dinner
by Major w. Stuart Symingtou, where
he met a few of his intimate Confederate
friends. Colonel Charles Marshall, of
Lees staff; Captain VIM. Blackford,
who carried Won Rorcke from the field
when he was wounded near Middleburg,

his English, and remembers with sin
GUAR distinctness all .ha details of the

but not his general health. He served
