HE DAY GIVEN Up.
The Journey from Greensboro to Raleigh
was repetition of the scenes that marked
the stations from Charlotte NJ. The pco-
pie of this gallant old State seem to have
given up the day TO paying homage to the
memory Of the southern Chief Executive.
RALFiGH TO GREENSBORO.
DANyu1E. VA, May 3O.-Our train left
Ralclgh two hours late.
just before its departure Mr.. Hayes and
Miss Winnie stood on the platform Of the
private car and hundreds of Young ladies'
shook hands with the two. They are
bearing the fatgues of the journey re-
markedly well Necessarily they receive
a great deal Of company, for every delesa-
ton that is added TO tho escort calls on
them.
The Richmond party, though cOmpara-
lively small one, were the recipients of "a
vast deal Of attention at Raleigh.
The run hack to Greensboro was IN
eyentful. Wherever We passed a man at
village or station or Ill the field he uncOy-
cred his head.
4 MEXICAN WILLIAM.
A touching incident OF our journey was
the meeting of Miss Winnie and Mr.. vii
liam Hobbs, who belonged to President
Davis's regiment. the First Mississippi, IN
Mexico, and stood with the then Colonel
DAVIS at Buena Vista. where his command
covered the American arms with glory.
Mr. Hobbs. who is about Is years old, pre-
scented Miss Winnie with a little bunch
flowers. which she said she priced rs high
~ as any Offering she had received on the
| trip.
do not believe that Mayor Ellyson has
/ gotten two hours consecutive sleep since
/ he left Washington. except at New Or
/ leans. He has been here, there. and every
where looking after the wants of every
one. and subject to beiu. walked up at all
points with kilograms. Yet neither his
| health nor his spirits have been affected
| 10y the strain.
From Greensboro to Danville the same
respect was shown the train that had fol-
| lowed it all the way from New Orleans.

! ing, there was al immense number of per-
sons along the track at out-ot-the-way
| places.
