March 2. life A trip from Richmond to Ixn-iimlle in a Pullman car over the Chesapeake aad Ohio railway, with Rev. (ieorge 0. Needham and -ieneral Habney H. Mau ry as traw liing companions, is a very delightful one even st this season of the yc*r* Arriving; at i/ouisvillc at 7:1>> P- M. Saturday we tire hurried np to the (.alt House in time for the elegant bain|iiet of the"i$aptist Social Union," The beautifully gottcn-up M8M8J was in French, but though my French was poor, my appetite was good, and I man? aged to get throagh very well with the delightful viands and be ready for *? the feast of reason and How of soul " which followed in brief speeches by Rev. Dr. I. T. Tichenor. of Atlanta; Rev. Henry Varley, of England, and Rev. George C. Needham. Mr. I). L Moody wss expected to be present and to speak, but Saturday be? ing his " rest-dsy.'" he stopped over in New Albany snd preached there?ar? riving at his hotel in louisville at 12 o'clock that night. At 9 o'clock yesterday morning I met him at the door of (he - I-eider kranz Hall," where his meetings were appointed to bc held, looking as fresh as if he had really been resting ever since he left Richmond. His hearty greeting to a Richmond man was : -* Why. here is my rebel brother -?-, from Richmond. I am awful glad to see you." Seeing that Rev. Dr. Witherspoon accompanied him. the Riohmonder re? plied : " You seem to have thc fortune of falling into thc hands of the rebels. Mr. Moody. l>r. Witherspoon was s com? rade of mine in the Army of Northern Virginia."' ?? Yes." said Mr. Moody, ??ami f tell you they arc awful jolly fellows." The meeting at 9 o'clock was for Christian yvorkers. and thc hall was crowded. Mr. Moody was in line plight, and made ii profound impression Ly his sermon. At 1040 Mr. Moody spoke to an im? mense crowd of mui-profcssors of reli? gion, most of them non-church goer-. mid was said to have held them in deep attention. I Your I'oire.-pondiTit heard Dr. Jahn A. Rroadus preach at that hour one of his ablest and best sermons.! At 8*J0 (herc was a service for tan Ben only and the house wat very inucb crowded, while hundreds Brent away unable to get access to the hull. Mr. Moody's sermon MaOOM ol'great power, and deep interest yvas manifcstc 1 on the part of the unconverted. At 6 o'clock Mr. Moody preached to tlie largest colored church in the cit] . At 7:30 last night the meetraaj waa for men only and the hall (holding 3,000) was pucked to it- utmost capacity. Mr. Moody was at Ins bnat, and at the close ol' his powerful sermon and thrilling appeal there wt re over one bundled lnen who rose for prayer, a number of whom nrnfcmed (onieision in the ?? after meeting.'' At the same hour Mr. Henry Varley, of Kngland. held an ?? overflow- " meet? ing at UM W arrin-Mcinorial Presby terian church, and Mr. Needham one at the Walnut-Street Baptist church, bath of which were crowded willi deeply-in? terested congregations, among whom wara many ini-niters. '1 his morning at ID o'clock the hall was crowded. The ** service of song " at these meetings is very syveet. the large choir being led by Professor Townley and wife, of Cincinnati, wbose solos and duets are among the sweetest I have ever heard. The first topic tot discussion in thc Convention of Christian Workers was ?flow to Reach Non-Chuick-lioci ?>." Mr. Moody opened the discussion in his own inimitable style, in which ne urged that the churches should have free pews, and not be afraid that the rough masses will spoil their eleganl carpets ; that the poor should he made to feel at lioiue in out petra, and that we should go out into the highways sm) hedges, in the lanes and alleys and hovels, and ??compel them to anana,'1 snd then give them a trana reception and Chii-tian treatment when they come. Kider Hobbes, of Louisville; hr. l? W. Muiidhall. of Indiana, and Bar. Henry Varley followed in admirable Iii(-minute speeches. The next topic wa- ?? lloiv lo Pro? mote Spiritual I.ile in the Churches." It was opened by Bisnan C. c. Pankie, af Louisville', in one at the most elo? quent and tailing speeches ol' the meet? ing. Bar. Dr, J. al. Hakdteson, eiJefer sunvillc, Inii.. :ilnl Kev. (ieorge C. Neeilnaai made excellent Bro-uainute -pceches. Mi. Mond] < lose,1 the discussion with a powerful address, yvhich .veiled the wannest enthusiasm af the praacliers, and seemed to produce th. deepest im? pulsion on the audience. Indeed, his closing passage on the tiiumphaiit life and death sud corona? tion of Paul wa* the most thrillingly eloquent appeal 1 ever heard from him. and it is doubted if it could he .surpassed in real power by any man living. After the meeting there were crowds ol' ladies who insisted on wailing in thc hall until the afternoon service, and when the ushers cleared the hall they lemained standing in the vestibule for tva hours. 'Ihe hall was pinked bu hour before the afternoon seri ice. and hundreds (if not thousands) turned away disappointed. Mr. Moody's address on *? The Holy Spirit " wss one of his happiest ami most telling efforts, and seemed to touch and thrill every heart. lt will be gratifying to Mr. Need? ham's many friends in Richmond to say that he is preaching to crowded hons, s at the Walnut-Street Haptist .lunch, and that there is every prosjieet of an extensive revival under his labors here. Mr. Moody only remains here to moirow. I.A MILKY. Improvement* In tn* City. For the dispatch. | Bi reoding thc Dispatch of Sunday last I noticed that you gave an idea of the proposed expenditure of moneys in tbe way of improvements of various kinds. Your article caused nie to sur iry the vast amount of work already in cii-mso of construction, which lead* me to believe leal the proposed work named in .Sunday's article is. so to -peak, merely s "drop in the bucket " compared with what is likely to be proposed, i a used in a great measure by the lispjit change in the Adminis? tration. Why. sir, the old are looking I younger, business-men are grappling ' their affairs nih more vim and eanu si? nes, old building- have -nc. limbed to the workman's bunds and are being smccedul by new sm) modem stores and dwi Uings tu ht the uauts of thc present age.

Her hand is daily stretching westward, and her va? cant lois will soon be beyond the reseh of all save fortune'* favorites.

An incident of the review especially noteworthy was the reception of thc Third division, commanded by General Fitzhugh Lee, snd embracing thc Vir? ginia soldiery. General I>ee. who was dressed in a handsome gray uniform and rode a magnificent blsck stallion, received a perfect ovstion all slong the linc, snd was repeatedly cheered. The enthusiasm spread to thc grand-stand, and the ladies wsved their hsndkcr chiefs long snd vigorously. Thc march? ing of the Virginians was commended as very fine. The Fifth Maryland regi? ment was loudly cheered ; although it turned out but a few hundred nun. they marched with their old-time precision . and soldierly liearing. THE MU iii ERN CONTINGENT. ;New York H. raid Thc Third division consisted of s crest number of military organizations. This division was commanded by Gene rsl Fitzhugh Lee and so deafening were the cheers that saluted his appearance at every point along thc route that those on thc reviewiug-s?ind around the cor? ner might well have thought that a rival inauguration had been started. General Lee is a portly, handsome man. with all of a Virginian's love of a line horse and all of a Virginian's capacity to sit one. ( lad in thc soldierly gray uniform of tho Virginia militia ind bowing low over his charger's neck right ami left as he went along, he was one of thc most in? teresting figures in tim procession. the RRRRL vei.e. New York Tim. s. A familiar sound floats down the ave? nue, lt is neither a shout nor a lusty cheer, lt comes not from the region of the lungs, but from thc upper part of the inoiitli. Shad-bellied southerners c.in produce it: a nor!hemer never, il l- known as thc label yell. It is one ol the shrillest iona?i of which :i human being is capable, lt is penetrating, and lintier -oine circumstances, a generation ago. it may have BBSB positively appal? ling. There is nothing in it to-liv. lt.- meaning is BBBplj that the south? erner knows no oilier BO?e that will ex? press his sympathies. Its occasion ba* .onus apparent. The contributions of southern States toward the cele? bration of this Democratic esctit are coming along. They ure detach??uta ot gav Iv-uniformed men. At lheir head is the soldierly figure of ? .em ral Fitzhugh hot. He mles like a centaur. He is a favorite of north? erners who know him. and he is re? garded with positive alfection by thc southerners, who remember him as a dashing cavalryman. Ile is cheered all along the avenue, ami the OCeupsnta of tin- cjaii'l-stantl join in the applause. Close upon him conns the Virginia mi? litia, with thc Walker Light Quant, Ute St. .John's Academy ( adit-, and several colored companies as special features. THR (MINERAL MILITIA DIVISION.
