CEREMONIES AT FREDERICKSBURG.
(From the Fredericksburg Arena )
The pageant is over—the President has depart
ed—the crowd has dispeised.and our town is once
more on the peace establishment. As chroniclers
of passing events, we proceed to a hasty sketch
of the doings of the “ Three day**”—not of Ju
ly, but of this, the merry month of May—which,
though not rife with revolution and bloodshed,
vet, with reference to the interesting nature of
the ceremonies, the assemblage of talent and offi
cial station, the imposing military array, and the
immense concourse of people, may be regarded
as forming an era in the history of our lown.
The President of the United States, accompa
nied by his Private Secretary, Major Donelson,
the Secretary of War, Gov. Cass; the Postmas
ter General,* Major Barry; the Attorney Gene
ral. Mr. Taney; Silas E. Burrows, Esq., and
family, and many others, arrived in the Steam
boat Sydney, Captain Guy, at the Landing,
about 2* o’clock, on Monday evening. He was
here received bv a deputation from the Monu
111-ntal Committee, consisting of the Chairman,
George NY a si ington Basset, Lsq., anti Doctors
Wallace and E. II. Carmichael. Large as was
the party, the excellent arrangements of the
Stage proprietors enabled the whoie, including a
MilHan Company and the Marine Bund, to pro
ceed without delay. When within throe miles of
Town, the President was met by the Marshal in
Chief. Col. Bankhead and his assistants, and
transferred from the toath to a uaroucne. in
the mean time, the Fredericksburg Guards, and
Rifle Greys, had proceeded to the height* of Fal
mouth, and there awaited live arrival ol the Mili
tary from the l)i»irirl, consisting of Capt. Brock
rtt'* Independent Cohmtcers and Capt. Kinsey s
ltijic Guards, from Alexandria; and Captain
Moore'* National Cadets, fiom Washington —
On being joined by these, and after partaking
ol refreshments furnished by the citizens of Fal
mouth, the Battalion of Volunteers, under com
mand uf Major. Patton, formed the line, ami re
ceived the President and suite with military ho
nor*, and then, wheeling into column, escorted
him through Falmouth to Ins quarters, at the re
sidence ot IP. \N allace.
On Tuesday morning, at 9 o’clock, the Presi
dent was escorted by the Fredericksburg Rijle
Grey*, from hi* lodgings to the Mayor’s office—
which was handsomely fi ted up, where he receiv
ed the visits of a vasf'concvurse of ladies and gen
tlemen, with that ease, grace and dtgmtv of man
ner, which lie possessed in a high degree. \V e
believe there was no one approached him during
his brief sojourn with u?, who was not pleased
with his reception. The procession was then
formed in the order, heretofore announced, and
t< ok the prescribed route tnrnugh the town. I he
President w as in an open B irouche, accompanied
b\ the Chairman ol the Monumental Committee,
and returned the salutations of the immense
crowd hv repeated bows The fine music, the
long extended procession, appearance ot the va
lious military companies, fjie windows crowded
with ladies, the waving of handkerchiefs, and the
vast crowd, formed altogether a scence never be
fore witnessed in ourtowm.
Arrived on the spot, the Military formed three
soles of a large open square, embracing the site
of the Monument and the revolutionary Marquee
of Washington, which had been b.ought from Ar
lington by Geo. W. P Custis, E-q’r, when the
ceremonies were commenced with an appro
priate and impressive prayer by the Uev. L C.
McGuire. The Corner-stone was then adjusted
with the usual Masonic solemnities, bv the wor
shipful Master of Lodge No. 4, Samuel llowison
Esq'r, who reporting toe fact to the Chairman of
the Monumental Committee, that gentleman, in

President which, with his reply, were published
in our last paper. The ceremonies being over, the
President and suite, distinguished strangers, and
others, proceeded to the Marquee and partook of a
•light refreshment; after which the procession was
reformed and returned in the same order to the
Town Hall, where it was dismissed and the Pres
ident conducted to his quarters.
A Barbeiue, in the old fashioned Virginia style
was prepared under an ample awning, in the
beautiful grounds of Hazle Hill, which was par
taken of by about fne hundred persons. Among
the invited Guests present, were the President
and Heads of l>-partments, the Military compa
nies from a distance, and all strangers of distinc
tion. About four o’clock, dancing commenced
and was kept up with considerable spirit until
near sunset 'The arrangements were excellent,
and the entertainment did great creJd to the con
tractors, Messrs. Jllackburn «$* Curtis. There
were, of course, neither toasts nor speeches, but
every one seemed to enjoy himself and the must
pei feet order and harmony prevailed throughout
the evening.
On 'Tuesday evening the Secretary of State,
Mr. Livingston; the Secretary of the Treasury,
Mr. McLane; the'Treasurer of the U. S., Mr.
Campbell, and Mr. Washington Irving, arrived
in Town. 'The latter gentleman was on his route
to the University of Virginia, but was induced
’ to spend a day here. .He received the most flat
tering marks of attention and was quite an object
*of attraction.
On Wednesday morning, the President paid
several vi*it>, and received the calls of many of
our citizens. At 12 o’clock, he took his depar
ture, escorted by the Fredericksburg Guards and
Greys, and was accompanied, a* far as the Steam
boat Landing, by the Marshals of the preceding
day, and a portion of the Monumental Commit
tee.
The concourse of people, attracted by the oc
casion, was much greater than when Lafayette
visited us io 1894—ami great as it was, we are
happy to bear testimony to the order and propri
ety which reignvd on every hand. No accident,
nor uopleasing incident of any kind, occurred to
our the enjoyment of the occasion.
Amoog the distinguished visitors, in Addition
to those alrsadv racutioned, we observed Geo.
VV; P. Custis, fesq. the Mt. Vernon Family, the
Hon. Mr. Ward, ul New York. Samuel L. Gou
verneur, Esq P. M. of New York, Gen. Duff
Green, Maj. Kirby, U. S. Army, and Capt.
Broome, U. S. Marines.
Toe presence of our Military visitors added
much to the interest of the scene—the? consisted
of Capt. Brockett’s Independent Volunteers,!
and Capt. Kinsey’s Rifle Guurd's, from Alexan
dria; Capt. Moore’s National Cadets, Irom
Washington—and Capt. Fauntleroy’s Troop of
Cavalry, from Fauquier, which arrived too late, (
on Monday evening, to participate in the |

fine appearance and discipline, and commanded (
respect by their exemplary deportment, she*
were not permitted to take up quarters at any
Hotel, but were received into the families of our
citizens, where ever, thing was Jnne t« proraole |
their convenience and comfort.— We bill
thev were all highly gratified at their reception
—we are assured that our citizens were pleased
at an opportunity of extending hospitality to those
who we doubt not, in the event of danger, would
fl» to our aid with as-much promptness us they
manifested upon the late Gala occasion. We
assure our late Military guests, one and all, that
the impression which they have left is of the most
P’mIcU credit is due to the Monumental Com
mute, and to the Marshal in chief, Col. Bank
head, and n'l» Assistants, for the judicious ar
rangements made on the occasion.
We must not omit to mention Ihe liberality of
the Steam B »at and Stage Propneturs, of the
line between this and Washington, as well as
the assistance rendered to them bv the riopne
torsof other lines diverging heuce. Ihe grat
uitous use of the Boat and Coaches was tendered
to the Committee, for the President and Suite,
and the Marine Baud, ’and but a very trifling
chaige made for the transportation of one of the
Military Companies, hither, and nothing for
taking them back. •
We observe that we have omitted in its proper
i connexion to mention that a Company ot Bovs,

DOCTOR GREEN’S REMEDY
For Intemperance.
the coed water system.
Mr. Printer:
The following extract is translated from a
German print on the subject of intemperance,
published many years ago bv Doctor Green of
Reading, Pennsv'vania, in which he says, that
INTEMPERANCE
* Is a disease of the atomach! This the feverish
» heat of the stomach natura'lv points-ouf, and
* o'd water is the remedy. * Tis the remedy of oa
‘ ture herself. ’Tis a law of God, which is superi
* or, and goes before that of man. For the laws of
* man are not strong enough to save a fellow crea
‘ture when given to strong diink. No, they are
‘not; there must be help, oml that help is water;
‘therefore whenever you feel an inclination to
‘drink spirituous liquor* (grog) drink cool fresh
‘ water.’
FILL
The Stomach:
Yes:
‘ FILL
‘ THE STOMACH WITH
‘COLD FRESH WATER.
* This IS an effectual cure, and in a very short
‘time vou will make n sober temperate man of
* the most iutemperate one.
‘ Dunking cool, fresh water, plentifully dur
4 inglhedav or at any time, is m itself otic of the
‘ best of medicines.
‘It gives cheerfulness to the mind.
* Purifies the blood.
‘Cleanses the stomach, and creates appetite.
‘ keeps oft'much sickness, and consequently,
4 promotes health, temperance, and lung life.’
Friend Reader:
4 A lliirst, a desire to drink fresh cold «a
4 ter in all living creatures, is a law of nature (
i Why, indeed, drinking it before breakfas' (or .
' 4 at any time in the day) is ns refreshing and
4 healthy to tire stomach, as ’tis to (lie face, after
4 washing! then why not drink it? It is one of 'ne •
» best medicines that the Giver of all things tas
‘ given us, to restore lost appetite! but tin* stu•:
4 pidity and folly of man throws it to on* ride, I
* seemingly—because it is cheap—may be i id !
‘ for nothing!—No good reason lias yet ever!
4 been given, for thus throwing away one of the
4 greatest gifts given to loan.*’
4 And here, it may tie worthy of remark, that j
4 it is the moderate drinkers of spirituous liquors,!
4 who, eventually convert their associate .nod-1
4 crate drinkers, and others, into immoderate |
4 ones.
4 They reciprocally convert each other into
4 immoderate drinkers of spirituous liquors.
4 True: and as already said, by refraining
4 from spirituous liquor altogether, intemperance J
4 of course cannot take place; but where intern-j
4 perance has already ta ken place, the only rem
4 edy, yea, the only and effectual remedy to be j
4 depended upon, is to be found in the system I I
‘have laid down. For, on the following priuci
4 plea the system brings about a cure.
PRINCIPLES OF CURE.
4 1st. Cold water put into the stomach, is a
4 substitute for spirituous liquor
4 2d. Cold water quenches the artificial heat,
4 caused by drinking sjiirituous liquor.
4 3d. Cold water produces a disgust for spi
* ritous liquor, and this very disgust is the ob•
*ject, the secret, the object of the cure.
‘DANIEL L. GREEN.’
Reading, State of Pennsylvania, Sept. 10, 1813.
The 'ftanslator will consider it as not pre
sumptuous to suppose that a power supreme gave '
to this man’s mind light and power to originate, j
and to place this knowledge within the reach of
his-distressed fellow creatures. And it was this
knowledge that first originated, first started and
set in motion the temperance societies throughout
the world. *
The doctrine and principle* Jranslatedfrom j
the German print were never before known and
put forth into the world until the above named
medical man published them many years nso,
therefore, let praise be given unto whom praise
is due._'___
A YOUNG ROGUE.
Melancholy.—Last S.lunl.y «»
negro boy About 11 year, of «gr, was found « an-I
derins through the upper wards of our c ty.
Ever since the late calamitous fire, he had been
in search of his parents who occupied a small
room in one of those houses first burnt, and who
no doubt perished in the Haines. iue lari s ap
pearance was so interesting, that two gentlemen
accompanied him to the spot, which he said he
knew bv the cistern in Hie yard. I he account
he rave*, was, that his lather and mother were
both asleep; when, on the alarm given, he was
awakened bv a fireman, who broke open the door;
he endeavored to awake his parents, who, having
been laboriously at work, whitewashing during
the dav, were in' a profound sleep; he had scarce
ly time to escape the fl nnes. The gentlemen
found the spot described, and there is no doubt
that these unfortunate people perished.
\ew J ork Gazette.
The boy above alluded to, who gave a* hi*
name John Freeman, is one of the most egregious
imposters for his ast« that can be found in this or
any other city. Ills real name is Joseph Brown.
About eighteen months age, ami he is now but a
little over ten wars of age, lie was tutored by a
notorious black thief at the Five Points, und
made such proficiency in his education, that it
was deemed unsafe to allow him any longer to
go at larg.*, and orders w ere given for his arrest,
lie eluded apprehension some trine, but was fi
nally, in the course of the last summer, taken by
the watch anil committed to Bridewell. Being
too voung to justify Iris imprisonment, lie was
transferied to the Alms House, his niolhcrliad
also been an inmate of that institution, and died
in tire course of the last summer of the cholera.
Joe conducted himself tolerably well during his
residence in the Alms House, and his active
sprightly appearance recommended him to a gen
tlernan at Staten Island, to whom he was bound
oil. A mi I Init align njinrriitire hv the
Commissioners. The gentleman took him home
Midi him, but in the course of three or lour days
he took advantage of his absence, broke open the
bureau drawer^ and robbed the house. Previous
ly to leaving the house, however, no person being
home but dip children, who were inti listed to Ins
cure, lie collected all the eggs lie could find in
the born, which he broke and mixed up with
milk uad lampblack, and with this composition
wantonly besmeared the children and left them
He made hi* way for this city, where, in a cou
ple of da vs, lie was again taken up by the watch,
detected in pilfering and, again committed to
tin- Aims House.
His fortune was now seemingly about to change:
— a professional gentleman liom the western part
of the State, wanting a mimed boy, went to the
Mms-hnuse about ten days a'ter lie was commit
ted, where he was lorcibiy struck with the intel*
Iivent face of Joe, and instantly made an arrange
ment to have him bound, uml carry linn home.'—
White at his lodging in mi*, city, to which place
Joe was also taken, the arch little villain found
an opportune v to abscond-, with about twentv-live
dolt.trs of the gentleman's money. Nothing was
seen of J »e nil'll Saturday last, when he present
ed himself to the committee of relief with the
doleful tale telat-d in the Gazette. The appa
rently sincere and artless manner with which he
told the story of lits father and mother being burnt
gained for nun oedenct and sympathy. A sub
stription was taken up for his relief—the benevo
lent chairman of the committee professed a de
termination to take him home and provide for
him—and hundreds of citizen* from the kindest
of motives volunteered during Saturday and Sun
day to search the ruins for the bones of his un
fortunate parents, (n the course of the dav, Al
dei man p who is one of the Commissioners
of the Aim* House, hearing Joe’s story, and cross
questioning him about it, took up an impression
that it was altogether fabulousj and so it turned
out in the sequel, though not without consider
able pains to anise at the truth of the matter.——
When Joe found himself detected and identified,
lie made a vinue of necessity and confessed the
imposition he had practised. He states that af
t«*r running .twav from the western gentleman he
took shelter with a colored woman in 29th street
bi the name of Bi tty Cpxsackie, where he re
mained until after the fire, when hearing from
the bnvs that those who were sufferers by if. had I
in one v given to them, lie resolved (o make an i
application, and he concluded as he says, that,
“it sufferers got money, those who were burnt;
woo d g.*r more,” and accordingly went to the ;
committee with the melancholy tale above detail- j
ed. lie is once more in the Alms House.

Opequon Canal. —We have the pleasure to
announce to the people ol Berkeley, that Messrs. (
Parcel ami Hage, Engineers in the service of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Compiny, detached
(or the purpose ot surveying and estimating the :
cost of a canal from the mouth of Opequon to
Martinsburg. ha* e commenced their labors. The
mute has been examined, and the report of the
Engineers may be expected in a few weeks.
VVe have understood from the gentlemen en- 1
gaged in this service that he improvement of the
navigation of Opeq-ion is feasible and expedient
far bovond their expectations. Only 52 feet of
lockage will be necessary fimn it fo the mouth of
Tuscarora;amJ if the impiove oent viall beconii
nued to Martinsburg the lockage wi'l be increas
ed 58$ feet. The expediency of this ho vever
they consider questionable.
He have understood that a canal to be cut
along the banks will not be recommended, but
merely an improvement of the bed of the stream
—which can be done with twnnew dams and the
rataing of two mill dams already on the Creek.—
The consequence of this, will be that but little
land injured by the work. It i*' even doubtful
whether the necessity of a tow path may not be
superseded by the application of steam,which the
Engineers think may be uaed with great success
an economy.
We shall anxiously wait for the report of the
Engineers, and shall hail the commencement of•
this work ava new and important era in the hia
tory of this country.—Martinsburg Gaz

The Travels of the Sew Orleans (Daily) Mail;
UY AS? EYK WITNESS.
A* it lifts become fashionable to chronicle the
movements of important personages, I propose to
„ive you a brief sketch of the travel* of the New*
Or lean s daily mail, from which it will beseen.it in
not so much remarkable that it fails, as that it
ever arrives- As a passenger in the mail stage
coach, I left Augusta, (Geo ) Friday night, April
5lh. I sav nothing here of a drunken driver care
lessly driving the coach into a swamp and there
** mirin''*’ hi* horses so as to be delayed three
hours, nothing of swimming a creek, with
the great letter mad exposed to the water,
worn it mght have been easily put where it
could have been kept dry, nothing ol the
miserable stage coach in which a passenger
shielded himself and the newspaper bags with an
umbrella inside, with curtains drawn and win
dows shut, as it were— nothing of all this, for
this mail was only ten hours too late when it
reached Columbus (Geo) and it was carried
, superlatively well comparatively speaking.
Tuesday)the 9th of Jtpril, 8 o’clock, A. M. I
i left Columbus, Geo. ill the mail cart.in which are
! transported mail and passenger* to Fort Mitch
! ell,in the Creek Agency. At 11, A. M. we
! were there, distance ten or twelve miles, lues
! dav evening at 7 o'clock, a driver named Sher
! rilj or the like, arrived with no mail from New
Orleans. It was the duty of the driver to take
j on the mails as soon as possible, but he prefer
j red a good night’s sleep to driving in the night,
as all careful men would.
; Wednesday the 10//i, Sherrill rose after sun
\ ri9e. The stage agent requested him to leave
Ft. Mitchell by day light, but it i* suspected,
! that Sherrill and the lavern keeper made an a
: greeinent todelav the passenger* till after break
fast, so as lo get fifty cents a piece for his Img,
ham, shoat and bacon. After the driver had
carefully stuffed himself/or nothing, as he told
.it I,., irlit under wav. but first he threw out one
of ilu* newspaper hag*. becnu*e as he said Hie
load was too heavy, and yet two horses ought
have taken with considerable ease, the whole
load and the two passenger*. Sherrill drove to
his stand distant about 25 miles, on Wednesday
and arrived there by 2 o'clock’ P. M and there
the daily mad stopped for that day! VVednes
dav night the newspaper bags lie in the barn.
Thursday the 11 (h. At Sherrill’s stand, there
were three driver* and twelve or fourteen horse*
Sherrill on Wednesday and l hursday, eat and
slept and plaved the fiddle for his horses’ benefit.
Rowland, the other driver, lectured Redvine the
third driver, (or spending hi» leisure time iii vi
o'a ling the grave* of the p »or Creeks, and re-dig
!i*ng up Indian's teeth to sell to the demists. I
mention this to show what sort of a wretch i* in
trusted with the United .States mail. Rowland
did nothing hut take care of his horses till 4 o’
clock on Thursday. Redvine slept and snored,
and snaved and eat. Thursday was a beautilul
dav. The roads in that quaiter were as good as
usual. Thursday at 4, P. M. after being still
tcventv-six hours, the daily mail was in motion.
Greenwood, a good driver, came in after it, took
it as soon as he arrived, drove twelve miles to
the end of his stand, and thus did his duty —
Thursday night the daily mail stopped. During
the night there was a shower, with loud thunder
and vivid lightning. There was no moon, and
thick darkness wa9 in the wilderness. It this
is an excuse to delay the daily mail ten hours, be
it so.
Friday, the 12th, the daily mail was in motion
by day light, the passengers waking the driver.
It was then carried 12 miles, and here taken by
a shaggy-headed fellow called Landrum,who was
not only too lazy too keep himself clean, but too
lazy to jump into hi* mail cart, and to say “ get
up” to his horses, lie confessed that Ins horses
had not been ted for 12 hours. As i* was alto
gether out of the question for such a driver to
lift newspaper bags into a low mail cart, Lan
drum left the whole newspaper mail that had ar
rived sometime previous, and crept on without it.
At L.ancirunt s stanu me great rsunnerii tuny
mail for Washington, New York, and New-Eng
land, had been stowed away in a log house over
twelve hours. Landrum took us about 8 o’clock,
A. M. when he had not eaten hi* breakfast. At
10 I^indrum became hungry and stopped to have
his breakfast cooked, for there was none in pre
paration. The passengers remonstrated. Lan
drum was sulkey and persisted. One hour was
lost in preparing ami eating the breakfast, to ob
tain which for a driver, the great New Orleans
daily mail was stopped, the daily mud, pray rc
member that.
Landrum at last crept along to the end of his
stand, where he grunted and lilted Ins two legs '
out of the mail cart. It was now dinner time.
The daily mail was stopped three fourths of an
hour for toe driver to eat dinner, and .then an ac- j
five intelligent fellow took us to Montgomery. I
The last 1 saw of the mail was when bound for
Mobile in an open go-cart to which were harness- j
ed (our horses so poor (hat the crows would not
eat them without grumbling.
The above is an unvarnished account of the
progress and travels of Uncle Sam’s important
mail through the Creek Nation. For these ex
traordinary delays, Hie excuse will be ‘great
rains,’ ‘ high waters,’broken bridges,’ and ‘bad
roads.’ All these excuses are in fact true, but
ao active contractor, and active drivers, would
out have lost a single day. Traveller* on horse
back were two days ahead of the daily mail.—
Travellers in gigs or sulkies were a day and a
half ahead of the daily mad. Emigrants with
negroes were a day ahead of the daily mail.
Mr. Forbes is the contractor who undertakes
to carry the Mail through the Creek Nation.—
He is paid a very large sum; but if the mail is to
be carried only in fair weather, and in good times,
it can be carried for one half of the sum given
him. The truth is, he is too much of a good oa
tured, easy man, and does not think quick enough
for the age he lives in. Half of his drivers are
>ood for nothing, not half civilized, and wholly
unworthy of trust. Under such management, it
s not wonderful that the daily mail so often fails.
Die Post Master General, who must listen to
zxcuses, and who is liable to all sorts of imposi
lion from the nature of the road where this mail
s carried, is not so much in fault as the contrac
ts. Travellers, and the newspaper presa, and
i rigid enforcement of penalties for lost mails,
will bring the ^nlractors and driver* fo the
senses.
This mail is of more importance than inv otl,«r
in the Union. It u th* great channel of
nicalion between the great cities of theN»r|.‘
and the great mart of the Mississippi, ari(]
should travel night and day. with all pns„b.
