In Delaware a crop of peaches is expected ; in ia wheat, oats, rye and corn look well; in Louisiana rain has somewhat in terfered with operations, while in Mary- Pland and Kentucky wheat looks very sing.

K. McCiure, yester day morning began their tour of inspec tion in chargo of John L. Shoemaker, Esq., the head of tho general committee. The party left the Continental and pro ceeded to Independence Hall, accompanied by our various local committees, arriving there at about 10 o'clock, where they were formally received by his Honor, Mayor Fox. When the company had become placed in their positions, Mr. Shoemaker, tho chairman of the Council committee, said: ADDRESS OF Mil. SHOE MA X I: l;. Mr. Mayor— As chairman of tha Contcnnial committee of Philadelphia, I have to say that tho Legislature of the State of Virginia has passed highly appropriate resolutions endors ing Philadelphia us the proper place for the Centennial Celebration in 1876. in pursuance of this resolution they have appoiuted a com mittee of honorable gentlemen to confer upon the subject of tho exposition of '7G. And here, iv this hall, it is a special privilege and honor to have the pleasure to introduce to you, sir, Chief Magistrate of this city, the Hon. J. E. Roller, chairman ot the Virginia committee. WELCOME BY MAYOR FOX. Mayor Fox then addressed the delega tion as follows: Gentlemen— As n general rule we always ac cord to visitors from abroad our polite atten tion nnd courtesy. Hut cotniog, as you par ticularly do, as the representative men of that grand old Commonwealth within whose legis live balls, in the early days of the Republic, rang out those eloquent tones which yet thrill Ind throb tha patriotic heart, and within hnse borders some ol the most decisive and esperate of the struggles of the brave old col lies took place ; I say, thus coming, and up i one of the very highest of patriotic tnis ons, you are not merely formally, but cor* ally, sincerely, and heartily welcome to our ty and our people. And we trust that what ay be said.and done in connection with tbe sntennial Anniversary shall be in the highest rgree promotive of that great purpose of tbe ilion. We desire also to say tbat whatever n be done to make your stay among us pleas it to you, and to enable you when you do »vo us to carry away to your State Legisla re and your homes tho liveliest impressions the pleasure it has afforded us to bo privl. led to receive and entertain you, will be to the highest gratification. RESPONSE OP SENATOR ROLLER. To this Senator John E. Roller responded aa Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of the city of Uladelphia —The task imposed on me as the ninnau of the Centennial Committee on tbe rt ofthe Virginia Legislature is an exceed jly difficult one. How, sir, can I express, in eh language pi I can command, an adequate acknowledgment fortius welcome as chairman of this Legislative committee ? How can I ex press our sincere and earnest acknowledgment, in terms fitting, appropriate, aud responsive, to the hearty welcome you have just given us, when I feel —especially, sir, in this hall—adif fidunco in attempting to use words appropriate to any such feeling V On tha first occasion of my visit to this ball I was accompanied by a Virginian, known and honored in all parts of the State, the hand of whose grandsire had painted those potraits which hnng about us. As I stand in sight of that picture which faces me, the picture of the man who was tha groat central figure of the Revolution, and as I stand here within sight of Gormantown and Dela ware, and within hearing of Monmouth and Trenton, I feel, sir, that it would be exceeding ly inappropriate for me to attempt to give ex pression to the' emotions which must be awa kened within us. I believe, sir tbat this meet ing carries with it a deeper significance even j than we can justly infer from this assemblage now in this ball. Wo come hero forgetful of what has happen ed within the last few years, willing only to remember this Uijion in which we havo a com mon interest, and willing only to revive th remembrances of our common glories and ou common perils. And, sir, we propose to d this by encouraging those schemes which, w trust, will bind this State and ours together i a closer union than has ever jet existed be twoen us. We propose to give encouragemen to the introduction of your railroads into ou State. [Applause.] We propose to give en couragemect to tbe introduction of your cap • tal into our midst. We propose, sir, to la down in the great deep of the popular hear out of reach of party agitation, cables—telt graphic cables—that will quiver with mci sages of love between the two sections love never to ba Bundered. {Applause. Again, sir, I thank you in behalf of eacl membor of this committee.

At George's Hill the patty alighted aud were informally received by Gustavus Re mark and William Sellers, of the P.irk Commission. AT BELMONT MANSION. After the magnificent view from the hill had been fully shown to the party, the carriages were again called into requisition, and in ti short time tho delegation arrived at Belmont Mansion, where a collation had been prepared. The bill of fare was gotten up by Pros kaner, and that is suflicicnt to show that everything was in fitst-class style. Full justice was dono to the viands pro vided, and a abort address was made by Morton McMichael, Esq,, the president of the Park commission, in which be specially referred to the advantages possessed by Philadelphia for the holding of the (!en teunial Celebiation.

At last, Aliram Hall took the chair, and Fred Coles was invited to act as At (his juncture tho war commenced. Coles refused to serve, and said as this meeting was a mass meeting, the club did not recognise it. Solon defended himself by having the invi tation from the club read. Coles still denied, in behalf ol tho club, any connection with tbe meeting. Here John Cooley interrupted, and said So lan Johnson was a liar. The chairman, Abram Hall, then took the •u\ " e . 6aidh9 didn't intend to befooled with by this meeting, or by any one present.
