yersity grounds to the parade grounds OF the
Virginia Military Institute. where they wit
messed dress parade by the corps of cadets,
and had an opportunity of making the acqua1n-
lance of "Old Fancy" Stonewall Jackson's war
horse.
After leaving the parade grounds tbs visitors
marched back to the college campus. where an
elegant collation. was served under the shade OF
tile trees and which was heartily enjoyed by
all. The veterans were then conducted to the
University chapel, where they saw Valentines
superb figure of Gen. r. e. Lee. A short but
appropriate address was delivered by Judge
Peck, of New York. The next point OF interest
visited was the grave of Stonewall Jackson
While at the depot, and just before their de-
parture for the Natural Bridge, the visitors
were addressed by Hon. w. A. Anderson in a
speech of broad and liberal sentiment. which
was vocferously cheered The whole affair
was complete success, which our Northern
friends recognized and appreciated.
AT THE NATURAL BRIDGE.
From Lexington the exeursionists went to
the Natural Bridge, where the night was spent.
There a ball was given them, and they had the
pleasure Of seeing that great wonder, the Ma
tural Bridge, illuminated, which presented
grand and imposing spectacle. Some of the
visitors from near Niagara Falls thought it
even greater wonder than that vast cataract.
On Saturday many returned to Staunton where
they arrived at about o'clock. and remained
here till O'Clock when they took their depar-
ture for Richmond. whence they'went to Old
Point Comfort and thence to their homes
Some remained over Sunday in Staunton.
HOW THEY IMPRESSED OUR PEOPLE.
The impression which the 18th N. Y. veterans
and their accompanying friends made upon the
minds of our citizens was Of the most favorG-
BILE character. They were intelligent and pleas
ant and seemed to have kind feelings for us
as we have for them. Our citizens would be
glad to have them visit our city frequently
either singly or in companies and if they ever
come they will be cordially welcomed as
friends and be entertained with generous hos
pitality.
