Tremendous Enthusiasm of the People— Faneuil Hall Open to Receive Him—The General Visits Maine—He Is made a Doc tor of Laws—His proposed Trip to Canada, (rscii ora special saw knoland corksspondent. ) Boston, August 3. Jo the Editore of the Savatttah Daily Herald Lieutenant General Grant has been making almost a royal progress through New Eng land. The spontaneous orations of the peo ple have made it so, for the hero himself, as modest as he is brave, as sparing of words as he is fertile in military resources, acts as though he would be glad to forego the triumphs which the people prepare for him, and seek the seclusion which is mbre con genial to him. His reticence and icy indif ference to the mosC tumultuous plaudits con trast strangely with the love of parade and an audience which characterize some of our less successful generals. The illustrious soldier arrived in Boston Saturday evening, the 29th, having stopped over a few hours in Springfield, and was escorted by the Independent Corps of Cadets to quarters prepared for him at the Revere House. He wa3 accompanied by his wife and four childrens (two boys and two girls) and three membert of his staff, including Col. Parker, a full-blooded Indian, a des cended of the famous Red Jacket. Rarely has such a reception bean tendered to any man lu the city of Boston, as was extended to the commander of the armies of the Re public. The streets wore crowded from the curbstones to the roofs of the houses along the liije of march, and the reception at the Depot was so overwhelming that, for a time, a laige posse of police in attendance was entirely powerless. An attempt to take the horses from the carriage, that it might be drawn by the people themselves, was almost successful, while the General sat like an ice berg, with his hat iu hand, as unmoved as when in his camp at City Point. After something like order was restored, and the carriage was allowed to proceed, the procession went across the town amid peal log bells and the roar of artillery on the common, and only reached the Revere to find thq square in front embargoed by a dense crowd of people, whose lines were as im penetrable ns those of General Lee at the battle of the Wilderness. The General was obliged to resort to a flank movement, and as the crowd was most dense near the ladies’ entrance, where it ’had been arranged he should alight, he took in the situation at a glance, and was rapidly taken to the main entrance, where he readily effected a breach and gained the interior of the works. He appeared at the window and stepped upon the balcony from his room in about two min utes after disappearing inside and silently bowed his acknowledgments to the shouting crowd, governor Andrew, who was by his ride, announced that the General would be pleased to see his fellow citizens of Boston in Faneuil, Monday noon, and the General again disappeared. All efforts to get a speech ont of him were unavailing Later in the evening he sat down to an elegant repast, at which tbo Governor pre sided, Mayor Lincoln, Boa. Chas. Sumner, Hon. Henry Wilson pud other distinguished persons being also present. . Shortly after, the General was serenaded by Gillraore’s celebrated band, ten or fifteen thousand people being present, to whom the old war-dog silently bowed his acknowledg ment, Bi before. Still later he was taken to the Union Club House in Park street, of whicli the lamented Everett was formerly President, where he was introduced to a number of prominent men. The next day (Sunday) the General atten ded the Old South Church very quietly, where Rev. Mr. Manning had the good sense to preach a purely religious sermon, without a word of politics or adulation in it. In the afternoon the General rode through the in comparable suburbs of Boston, accompanied by his family and staff and the Governor, Mayor, &c. Monday morning was devoted to flying visits to the*Navy Yard and Bunker Hill Monument, and at precisely twelve o'clock the General appeared, by the private en trance. iu Faneuil Hall. The ovation which greeted him was almost unparalleled. The old Cradle of Liberty never was rocked so wildly amid the forensic thunders of Webster as when this grim, 6ilcnt soldier stood be fore the descendents of the Pilgrims, arrayed in the full uniform of his rank. He was briefly introduced, as ready to take his friends by the hand, and he continued to shake until it was too much for flesh and blood to stand, when he put his bands behind-him and nodded to the rest as they passed. The hall was crammed full, and running over, and for euery one who left, there were two trying to get in ; so that when the General left, there Were thousands who had not even seen him at a distance.— There was another rush when he left, and everywhere he went he was followed by shouting and struggling multitudes, who couldn’t express half as much delight a* they felt. Tuesday morning the General and his party went to Portland on an elegant special train, stopping in Lawrence to take a walk through the great Pacific Cotton Mill—the largest in the world—and to .partake of a fine collation at the City Hall. The first la dies of Lawrence waited upon the tables. Tb« whole trip to ferOasd was a tri- umphal progress, and the same scenes were repeated at that beautiful city when he ar- ! rived there. At a serenade, Tuesday evening, the Gen- j eral having appeared, loud clamors were made for a speech. “ Let us hear your voice,” was the earnest appeal. “I wish you a very good night," responded the Gen eral, in a low, clear voice, and with that he turnA) away, a grim smile resting for a mo ment on his iron face. He held a reception in Portland City Hall on Wednesday, where he was kissed and hugged by several enthusiastic youDg women, rode about the beautiful town, and in the af ternoon visited Brunswick, where the Bow doin College commencement was going on, and where the degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon him. He met here Gen. Howard, Gen. Ayres, Gen. Chamberlain and other distinguished officers of the Union ar my, and remained during the evening to the re-union of army officers and soldiers who graduated at|Bowdoin, but a simple monosyl lable was the only speech he made when called upon. To-day the General goes to Augusta, as the guest of the State of Maine. To-morrow (Friday) morning he will go on an excursion in Casco Bay. and in the after noon leave Portland for the White Moun tains, on his way to Quebec, where he goes to meet Gen. Doyle, the commander of the British forces in North America, who was some time the Lieut. General's guest on the tented field. Some are disposed to see some thing significant in bis visit to Canada at this time, but they are they who always expect to find “a eat under the meal.” lota. ADDRESS OF PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR MAR VLV TO THE PEOPLE OF FLORIDA. Iu another column we give the Address of Governor Marvin, on assuming the posi tion ol Provisional Governor of Florida, in which he defines the line of policy which will govern him in the discharge of his official duties. It will be seen that the Governor comes fully instructed in regard to the views and requirements of the President, and that he requires a willing and strict conformance on the part of the people with the mode pre scribed for the re-organization and re-instate ment of the State in the Union. In a speech delivered by Governor Mar vin at Jacksonville on the 2d, he gives some wholesome advice to the people and freedmen of his State, which is equally applicable to the people of the South at large. We make room for the following extract: As one of the results of the great rebel lion, slavery has ceased to exist. With the fall of the Confederacy,its corner stone crum bled to dust, and the winds have scattered it. The war which was commenced, among other reasons, for the purpose of perpetua ting the black man's bondage, has, in the Providence of Goo, brought him freedom. He can never be euslaved again, (a great shout among the colored people.) No form of slavery can ever be established again in this country. From all we can learn, I think too, that the people of this State not only recognized this fact, but they are now becoming glad of it. The constitution which you will be called upon to form will recog nise the new order of things and secure free dom to all alike. With slavery out of the way, there will be notbiug to hinder a restoration of our consti tutional relationship with the general gov ernment, and ourbecoming a great, prosper ous, homogeneous, and happy people. In the U. S. Senate, Florida will be the peer of New York, aud in the lower house she will he fitly represented. The restoration of civil government will be through a convention to e called at no distant day to alter or amend the State constitution. No time should be lost in becoming qualified to vote for mem bers of the convention. In the meantime the preservation of peace and order will continue in the hand 9 of mili tary authorities. Their administration of af fairs here, so iar as I have been able to learn, has been so wise and so mild, that there will be no impatient and unreasonable anx iety for a change. But some will ask, “why don’t you assume control at once of the civil administration a9 we prefer civil rule ?” I answer, I have no authority to resuscitate the civil authorities or to appoint any one to office beyond what is necessary io the calling ot a convention. My business is to assist and you to iuaugurato a government. I trust you will cheerfully acquiesce in this arrange ment. But what will be your conduct when the wheels of the civil government are set in mo tion, and the strength of the military force is greatly reduced in the State. Will we be have better than formerly ? I remember the organization called the Regulators, and the terrorism exercised by them, and the lynch iug and the murders which occurred in some parts of the State.- I trust when the civil authorities are once more established that you will all yield to them and to the law the heartiest support. The spirit of malice and revenge must be banished from among us, and every one must embark in a mission of peace and good will. If you would see your fair and happy land, inviting capital and good citizens to come among you, you must see to it that Judge Lynch and his infernal cohorts are never allowed to scourge the country again. Let every one yield supreme obedience to the laws and prosperity will so 1 >w. And you, Freedmen, have now exchanged masters—you must now make law your mas ter, for it is the law which is to protect you in your freedom ; no other course leads to happiness and honor. Will you stand by me aud oilier officers who may be in au thority and obey the laws? Obedieuce to the laws is freedom. My knowledge of the past makes me earnest in the matter. We are about *to enter upon anew career. Between the two races a good understanding must be created aud continued. Some per sons, disappointed and vexed, will not have any faith in the colored man. They will not think of him with pleasure, now that lie has become free They have no anxiety to see him socially and morally elevated because they have not faith in his capabilities. Let me say in all frankness to such, try him. Give him a fair chance. Teach and encour age him. Your happiness and prosperity are now inseparably connected with the welfare of this people. Their, elevation will add to the power and prosperity of the State. They cannot remain in a stationary condition. Their movement must be upwards or they will become, in many cases, the veriest vag abonds mid rest like an incubus upon the country. Iu many respects the white man is superior to the colored man, and his re sponsibility is cortespondingly increased. We want the colored people here. In their mus cles and sinewftjhe State has immense wealth; but that they may be made available we must treat them kindly, give them an education and make them an honorable part ot the body politic. And you, my colored friends, must *>• idle or lazy. Labor is the law, whioh Uod has imposed upon us all. I have been ana expect to be, one of the most labori 1° ’? Florida.

Send them to the Sunday school. The white man, too, must school himself to this new order of things. His responsibilities and duties are of the most imperious character. He must meet them like a hero, or the worst of consequences will follow to himself and family. Schools must be established all over the land. Northern teachers must be welcomed—some of them have their peculiarities, but what of that, let them come among us—you must also send out missionaries and teachers from among yourselves and interest yourselves in promot ing the intelligence, virtue and general eleva tion of all the people of the State. The Ministers of the Gospel have a heavy respon sibility in this matter. They should be. in stant in season and out of season in exhort iug and rebuking with all long suffering and patience, and in teaching and instructing the ignorant and the wayward in a knowledge of their moral and religious duties, and in pro moting peace on earth and good will to men. Let every man, woman and child throughout the. State cease to murmur or complain against the dispensations of Providence, but cheerfully and hopefully accept the new or der of things, as coming from Him whose ways are not as man's ways, and whose thoughts are not as man’s thoughts. There is a bright prospect in the future for our beautiful State. The storm is past. The rainbow of promise is seen in the dissolving clouds. J.et each man do his own duty and God will bless ns. A BALLOON ADVENTTRE. A great balloon ascension recently took place in Ireland, in which a number of per sons went up under the charge of Mr. Cox well, who is distinguished as an aeronaut. One of the party thus narrates the sequel of the affair: When Mr. Coxwell proposed to descend he gave to us the strictest instruction hOw to behave. He told us to sit down at the bot tom of the basket, with our backs towards the willow work, and to leave our limbs in an easy, unconstrained position. He fore warned' us of the heavy knocks and bumps we should get, and told us not to mind them. On landing he told U 9 to get out one by one, and not to let go our hold of the car on any account, as the gas in the balloon was now comparatively exhausted and it had but little buoyancy left. In spite of Mr. Coxwell’s injunctions, some of the passengers could not be induced to sit down. When the car struck the ground and was carried along with great violence, knocking us about severely, the excitement got intense. Some prayed aloud, others shouted to “let off the gas others cried out, “We are all lost”—in short, they behaved in the wildest manner, losing completely their self control. Several of them now pulled at the valve cord violently, and there appeared to be a general panic. We who sat down, obeying Mr. Coxwell's commands, were/'trampied upon by others, as if it were a struggle for life. At last the grapnel caught and the car settled down squarely on the ground, when Mr/ Coxwell gave the word to get out; but he repeated his injunctions to leave the car one by one, and by all means to hold on to the basket UDtil all were out. Instead of that it was a scramble, each man for himselt —the more powerful men thrusting back the weaker; those getting out first abandoning their hold of the car as soon as they reached solid ground ; others, among whom was Mr. Coxwell, held on, but were obliged to let go, when the balloon, relieved of the weight of several persons, rose again with renewed buoyancy. All this happened in but a very few moments, so that when I climbed upon the basket the balloon was already at least fifteen feet high, and I wa9 left with a single companion, Mr. Halferty. Mr. Coxwell and some of the passengers tried to hold on to the cable, but their strength was not ade quate to the task; the anchor broke loose, and off we went rising to a height of about one thousand feet. My companion said calmly “The Lord have mercy upon us ; our lives are lost. We had better he resigned.” I was looking out for the valve cord to pull the valve, but could not find it. At length I discovered it entangled in the netting. I pulled it, but alas! it had no longer any connection with the valve. My companion, who saw me occupied with the cordage, asked me whether I understood the man agement of a balloon? “No," I replied, “ but if I did it would be of little avail since the valve cord is broken.” About the same time I discovered-that we were again falling, so I called out to my companion to cheer up, that we might yet be saved. We were gradually coming nearer to the earth, and the anchor was then striking the ground from time to time. I looked out for assist ance, but could discover none in the moun tain wilderness we were then careering over. At length I saw several men, to whom I shouted out for butp. They, however, stariug with vacant gaze, stood motion less like so man> statues. Onward we swept. I saw another batch of men, to whom I made the appeal, bnt with a similar result. Some remained motion less; a man and a woman ran away at full speed, and one tall fellow actually dropped down on his face, struck down with £ter ror. On we swept—then a fearful concus sion of the car—the grapnel had caught. - “Prepare for a bump:” I shouted to my companion; almost immediately the balloon surged down, and afterwards the car struck the ground. Mr Halferty was pitched Quite out by the - violence of the shock, whilst I was thrown against the netting, and fell back again into the car. I tried to scramble through the ropes, but I was in an instant again house high—for the balloon, relieved of the weight of Mr. Halferty, rose with renewed vigor. Mr Halferty, although he had a heavy tum ble, did not lose his self-possession, but im mediately caught the cable and tried to se cure it, but his poor strength was of no avail. The anchor broke loose and away I went. I did not rise high. The balloon moved on very soon in a horizontal direction straight towards the sea, which we were then rapidly nearing, at the height of about twice the length of the mooring cable. The thought had struck me several times to try by any means to make a rent in the balloon, for, al though I had no knife, I might have torn the silk with my teeth. I climbed up a short distance, but then it occurred to me that a9 soon ns the gas escaped, the anchor would strike the ground again, and I should not be able to support the con cussion while hanging in the netting, as It was suffering a good deal from the shocks I had sustained. I descended, therefore, into the car, and to my great relief found that I was gradually coming nearer to the earth. The anchor stiuck the ground several times, but never held fast, scattering about tb6 turf aud stones like feathers. I saw men work ing in a field,and shouted to them, “For God's sake help me, or I shall be lost—secure the anchor!” They understood me at at last, but too late. Away we swept before them, the anchor plowing up the ground several acres in length Coming to a farm I shouted out to the people standing there the same appeal. Some women, with their quick, humane instinct, were the first to conceive my danger, and exhorted the men to hurry to my assistance, they themselves running as fast as they could to tender what little help they might be able to give me. The anchor struck in a willow tree. I shouted ont to the people below to secure the cable and an chor by rop.es, which they did. The evening was now beautifully still, the breeze had died away, and the balloon was swinging calmly at her moorings above the farm yard. One of the men asked me whether I had a rope with me, or how I intended to get out. I told them only to take care of the cable, because the balloon would settle herself by-aad-by. I w«» congratulating myself on a speedy es cape from qsy dangerous position.— 1 had not counted on the wind : a breeze in about six or eight minutes sprung up, and tossed the balloon about like a large sail. A crash—and the anchor was loose again. It tore through the trees, flinging the limbs and branches about like matches. It struck the roof of the farm house, splintering the chiui nevs and tiles like glass. On I went. I came near another farm, shouted ont for help, and told the men to secure the anchor to the foot of a large tree close by. The an chor was soon made fast, but this was only a momentary relief. The breeze again filled the half-empty balloon like a sail; there was a severe strain on the cable ; tben a dull sound ; and a severe concussion of the bas> ket. The cable —strange fatality !—had bro ken, and the anchor, my last and only hope, was gone. I was now carried on in a straight direction towards the sea, which was but a short distance ahead. The anchor being lo6t I gave up all hope. I sat down resigned in the car, and prepared lor the end. All at once I discovered that a side current was drifting me towards the mountain; the car struck the ground, and was dash ed along at a fearful rate, knocking down stone fences, ahd breaking everything it came in contact with in its wild career. I think I mast have gone at least at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour. Almost cer tain death seemed before me, yet to jump out on this passage would have ensured my be ing dashed to pieces on the rocky ground beneath. I was tossed about in the basket as the peas in'a child's rattle, and cannot com prehend at this moment that my bones were not all broken. By-nnd-by, the knocks be came less frequent; we were passing over a cultivated country, and the car was, as it were, skimming the surface and grazing the tops of the hedges. I saw a thick hawthorn hedge at some distance before me, and the balloon rapidly sweeping towards it; that was my only chunce. I rushed to the edge of the car, and flung myself down upon the hedge. I expected a severe tumble, but had a mild fall. The car did not, as I feared, strike me, but the moment I left, it rose over my head. I slid down on the other side of the hedge. I rose on my leet, and then tried every limb. They were whole, and I need not describe my feelings at this almost mi raculous preservation. When I looked up I saw the balloon soaring majestically over the Bea, from Which I was about a quarter of a mile distant. Eloquent.—At Macon on the Ist instant, Osborne A. Louhrane, Esq., addressed a meeting of citizens, and uttered the follow ing words ! The past is behind ns ; we can neither re lieve a sorrow or add a sympathy by calling up the memories that have flitted into it.— The great issues of the present are upon us, the interests of family—children—State and country, arc all pleading with us, and I for one 9hall go forward with the march of pa triotism—l for one shall give my energies to redeem Georgia from her present condition, lift her from the sick bed and nurse her into life. I will support the Un’on and the per petuity of the Union of these States ; I have sworn to do so, and I will keep the oath in violate and inviolaole. I give not reluctant acquiescence, no meatal reservation, no sanction of repugnant gesticulation; but wholly, unreservedly, comprehensively and hopeful, for the sake of my own honor and the public interest, I accept the obligation, and will stand by it in its consequences and in its results, henceforth and forever. Let us. said the speaker, rally around the pure and patriotic statesman, who stands to day at the helm of State, bearing towards Geoigia t 8 take on board her new-born for tunes; for under his inspiration of Justice, all the Southern States are rising up to put on their garments of sovereignty, and march to the bridal of States. A great procession will reach Washington next spting—a pro cession of States led into the constitution upon the arm of President Johnson. Geor gia will be there, the blood of battles washed off in the waters of amnesty, to raise her head, and give her response amid the nation's rejoicing. *Her Southern sisters will be as bridesmaids around her, and you, fellow citizens. will be restored by the solemnities to the dignity of free citizens. Mystery Unravelko.—Last weeK a mys terious prisoner, in irons, has been “Yanked” across continent, from Memphis, via Cairo, to Washington. The prisoner was “heavily ironed” and “chained to a guard.” At every station a man came on board the cars who recognized the prisoner as John H. Surratt. This fact was immediately tele graphed to New York, the man’s deposition was sent to Washington, and the man him self became at once an object of interest to the town in which he lived and the rest of mankind. He was only next in the nation’s §-atltude to the man who saw and spoke to ooth in the cars of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad a few .days after Mr. Lincoln was assassinated. Finally the pris oner reaches Washington, and turns out to be, a9 the' Philadelphia Bulletin says, “not even an assassination conspirator, but only a common fellow, named S. W. Fuller, who, during the late Presidential election, it is charged, falsely represented himself to be an agent of the Executive Committee, of which Senator Harlan was chairman, and went about the country making collection, pro fessedly for the benefit of the Union party. He succeeded in swindling to the extent of $45,000." This is disgusting. The prisoner has no to be a “common swindler,” particularly after all the State of Pennsylva nia had gone mad about him, and a man at every station had pronounced him to be Sur ratt. Beside, he had ouly cheated a political party, and that is so “common,” that it is novel to take any punitive measures against it.— N. Y. Commercial. Whisky in Butter Tubs.—A smart fellow from Kingston came to Charlotte last even ing in tLe steamer Bay State, bringing a ten gallon keg of whisky and two tubs of butter. He paid duty on the liquor, but the butter was free. He had put into the centre of the butter tubs a keg of whisky, and covered both nicely with butter. The whisky kegs were new, and absorbed so much of the whisky that there was a vacuum, and when the tubs were put in a car to come to the city, the cheat was discovered by the swash of the liquor. The property was seized, of course, and confiscated.— Rochester Union. ' Loso Delay op a Letter. —On the 13th inst. a package of letters was received at the post office in Woodstock, Vt., that was mailed at Irasburgh, Vt., May 2, 1844, more than twenty-one years ago. Several of the letters were of considerable importance. The package does not bear evidence of having travelled much, and the supposition is, that it has been all this time concealed, by acci dent, in a comer of some post-office, and has been brought to light by a recent “house cleaning,” and deposited in the mail without suspicion ot its antiquity. —A returned rebel named Kelly was sum marily hung, a few days since, at Bergen, Missouri, under the following circumstances: He weut to a saloon in the place, and order ed a lieutenant of militia who happened to be there to take his blouse off, remarking that he did not like blue coats. Hie lieuten ant refused to comply with the request, when Kelly drew his revolver and fired at him. Bystanders then knocked Kellv down, took him out, and suspended him to the limb of a tree.
