STIRRED UP PATRIOTISM.
Effect Of the Recent Trip Of the
Mississippi In Southern Waters.

Cant. ]. C. Fremont of the battlesh1p
Mississippi. which has returned to Phlla-
delphia from her trip up the Mississippi
river as far as Natchez, in his report
to the Navy Department declares one OF
the most important results Of the cruise.
he considers, was the evident effect on
the sentiment Of the people toward the
government. The vessel was an
evidence of its power. and the wish
to please them seemed to have awakened
an enthusiasm and patriotism which was
undoubtedly there, but dormant, and this
sentiment found expressions In the re-
ceptions and ovations which were tender
ed the ship continually over a period of
three weeks with unabated fervor. reach
ing its fitting climax at Natchez, where
II was marked by the return of the bat
.le flag captured from the U. s. s. Pet
rel.
This latter episode was mostly inspired
nv the fact that Grand Army posts
had returned their captured flags to the
Confederate organizations to which they
belonged Capt. Fremont says he believes
the effect of the trip to the navy Will be
one of great and lasting benefit in the
minds of all the southern section OF the
country.
Capt. Fremont attributes the success
Of the cruise, in which there were so
many chances Of accident, and which was
accomplished on scheduled time, and with
apparent ease, to have been largely due
to the excellent manner In which the mo-
tive and steering mechanism stood up
under the unusual strain. and to the WILL
ing and hearty assistance that was given
him not only by the personnel of the
shin. but by every official, especially those
Of the Engineer Corps.
