hoosic wharf. The day was as genial and balmy as could have been desired, not a cloud appearing in the horizon, and the whole party in the highest spirits. Well-spread and bountiful tables, and a superabundance of wines, liquors and cigars, were not among the least gratifying assurances that we were on a "small-sized spree." Reaching Yorktown about 11 o'clock, the excursionists were allowed half an hour to remain. Accordingly, all disembarked and proceeded to the once superb mansion of Gov. Nelson, thence to the old field in which Lord Cornwallis surrendered to the great Washington. The next point visited was the cave under the hill, directly facing the river, in which it is said Cornwallis endeavored to conceal himself from the "rebels." This place has been enclosed, and a door, with lock and key affixed, for the purpose of preventing depredations by visitors and curiosity- hunters. The lady in whose possession the keys were, informed us that she required every one who entered t

About 4 o'clock the visitors returned to the wharf, from whence they were favored with several trials of the great Floyd gun, from which some half a dozen shots and shells were fired. The leave-taking at the wharf was truly interesting. The Marine Band played the Star Spangled Banner, Dixie, and other pieces, with great spirit, and the heartfelt thanks of the excursionists for the hospitality and kindness of the officers and soldiers of the fort, were expressed in speeches by Messrs. John T. Anderson. of the House of Delegates, and Mayor Mayo. The boat moved from the wharf about 4 o'clock, and a few moments afterwards a report like thunder was heard and a ball went whizzing over our heads from the Floyd gun and fell in the bay four and a half miles from where the gun lay. The jollification was kept up on board the boat in eating, drinking, speaking, singing, &c., until our arrival again at West Point, where the party again took the cars and reached Richmond about 11 o'cloc

We think the town would do well to have some such guardian angel to keep it order. The half hour having expired, the party returned to the boat, and were soon again under way, and arrived at Old Point Comfort about 2 o'clock, P. M. As soon as the Governor and Mayor Mayo had been presented to Col. Dimmick, and the officers in command, the line of march was taken for the parade grounds in the interior of the fortification, where the troops, some three hundred, were on parade. While on our way hither, a salute of thirty-four guns was fired. After reviewing the troops, the latter were dispersed, and the visitors allowed to examine the whole fortification to their heart's content.

Delightful excursion. --Pursuant to invitation of the President of the Richmond and York River Railroad, over two hundred members, officers, reporters, &c., of the General Assembly, accompanied by Gov. Letcher, Mayor Mayo, and others, left the city at 7 o'clock on Saturday morning, on an excursion to Yorktown and Old Point. On reaching the terminus of the road at West Point, the excursionists found the steamer West Point, Capt. Rowe, awaiting their arrival. The whole party embarked, and in a few moments were steaming rapidly down York river towards their destination. The bosom of the York was spotted with the sails of oyster craft, and fairly alive with millions of wild fowl. We counted fifty-five oyster boats in the neighborhood of Cappahoosic wharf. The day was as genial and balmy as could have been desired, not a cloud appearing in the horizon, and the whole party in the highest spirits. Well-spread and bountiful tables, and a superabundance of wines, liquors and cigars,
