COLONEL AND BROADER GENERAL.

Grant remained at Springfield and helped
to organize the volunteer troops of the state.
After five weeks of this work, which his mil
itary education had specially fitted him for,
Gov. Yates offered him the Twenty-first regi-
ment of Illinois infantry. Before receiving
his commission as colonel he went to Cincin-
natl to see Ma. Gen. Mcclellan, then in COM
mand of Ohio volunteers He had known
Mcclellan in the old army, and hoped he
might offer him place on his staff. Twice
be went to headquarters without finding Nc
Clellan, and then returned to Illinois without
having mentioned his errand TO any one. He
took command of his regiment early in June
and marched to Missouri. Reporting to Brig
Gen. Pope, he was stationed at MexiIo, about
30 miles north of the Missouri ripsr. The
president commissioned him brigadifr general
of volunteers in August, a promotion he first
heard of through the newspapers. At this
time Maj. Gen. Fremont was in command Of
the states and territories known as the West
ern Department. He transferred Grant to
Tonton, then to jefferson City and then to
the command of the district of Southeast Mis-
souri,, with headquarters at Cairo.

Tournament and BasketPicnic.

Thelsecond one of these delightful
entertainments, under tile auspices of
a committee of young gentlemen,
took place on the farm of Iangdon
Bros, near Myerstown, on the 29th
3ult., and was a brilliant success in
every particular. Itseems as though
all nature smiled propitious on this
occasion. The morning dawned clear
and bright, the air was crisp and
bracing, giving a heaIthful and cheer
full appearance to the merry partici-
pants. The grand and majestic Blue
Ridge mountains, with the beautiful
Shenandoah, (from which our fair
and lovely valley takes its name, }
modestly and gently coursing its way
along the foot of the mountain on the
east and the magnificent panorama of
hill and valley that greeted the eye
on every side, made up scene of
beautiful grandeur, which is indie
scribable.
AT the usual hour, that prince of
Marshals, Mr.. Joseph w. Trussell,
delivered the charge to the Sir
Knights, who were arrayed in hand
some and attractive costumes; and
mounted on spirited steeds:

Miss Cora Yates First Maid of Honor.
Mr.. Clarence Kable chose Miss Mag
gle Engle Second Maid of Honor.
Mr.. George Winncoops named Miss
Bessie Benner as Third Maid of Honor
The address was by one of old JEFF
ferson's most gifted and talented
sons, Forrest w. Brown, Esq, States
Attorney of jefferson county. 1t is
simply useless to undertake to de-
scribe this brilliant effort. 1t had to
be heard to be appreciated. 1t was
a masterpiece of oratory, eloquent in
language, beautiful in imagery, a
jewel in the crown of literary attain
ments. The committee and their
guests were charmed with the silver
tongue oratory of Mr.. Brown.
It would puzzle Delmonico, of New
York, to compete with the elegant
lunch that was prepared by the ladies.
We will not attempt to give the bill
of fare. 1t was just superior in all
its details.
After lunch merry feet kept time
TO lively strains of sweet music from
the violins until the. shades of eve
ming brought the days enjoyment to
a close. The committee left nothing
undone that would add to the pleas
ure of their guests. The beauty and
fashion of the ncighborhood were out
in full force, with additions from
Charlestown, Dufliclds and Berry
Vile, rs might be expected in this
array of beauty. Cupid's' darts
were busy piercing the hearts of the
gallant and llnightEy chivalry that
was present. NIYERsTOwN.
