May 1C, 1867. “ There was a sound of revelry by night” Editors Telegraph : As we prognosticated a former letter, the past week was one of. un usual gayety and amusement. We were kept a constant fever of excitement .by attractions that were offered in various portions of the city. The g»rid sensation of all, however—as you have al&ady been fully informed by glowing descriptive articles in that admirably conducted paper, the Courier-Journal—was the “inaugu ration ball” at the Galt House. Yon may be assured that it was an event long to be remem bered by the happy participants in its festivities. Conspicuous among the bright host of beauty,' wealth and talent appeared the noble and gifted Breckinridge, who on every side received the profoundest marks of esteem and homage. Gen. Beauregard—“Little Beaufy,” as he was once affectionately characterized amid the thunders of battle—was also present, and graced the oc casion with his winning smiles, consummate politeness and genial bearing, making himself an especial favorite with the lady gnests, who gathered about him from every part of the vast hall. All that wealth, or beauty, or natural gifts could combine, were there to make it an assem blage such as we may never meet again. The proprietors of this famous hotel could not have adopted a wiser plan to widely advertise their interests, or rather to uphold and sustain the enviable reputation which made tho “Old Galt a kind of Mecca for the weary traveler from all parts of the civilized world. We know that our pretentious rival up the river will smile at* our seeming vain-glory, and she may, by the unflagging spirit of enterprise, overreach us in many ways; bnt we chronicle the fact with gladness, that there seems to be determination now among our people to arouse themselves and to offer her a friendly competi tion such as she has never met before. We do not deny that Cincinnati, the boasted “ Queen of the West,” is far beyond ns in many things— just as far, in fact, as we are ahead of her many others. She has no Galt House, nor any hotel that even approaches it. She knows that whenever any one of her hungry Bohemians come among us that we can give him a far better meal and for less money than she ever gives ns when compelled by untoward circumstances to sojourn in her midst. She may hold both her sides and laugh at our homely street pumps, when she well knows that Louisville drinks all times a purer and sweeter water from these humble appliances than that which she is con tinually swilling from the dark and sluggish waters of the Ohio, which, long before it reach es her shores, (be it remembered) has already washed the inconceivably dirty hands and faces of the unfortunate people of Pittsburg—that town that might pass for the mammoth smoke stack of the Inferno itself. Let Cincinnati laugh. We Louisvillians are content to breathe a purer air ; we are satisfied if we can display better taste and judgment in our ample grounds and commodious dwellings. She has not so soon forgotten that while the pestilence that “stalks abroad at noonday” was striking terror to all hearts, we of the “ambitions little village” still continned to eat, drink and be merry, and were fanned only by healthful breezes and life-giving airs. But why pursue the subject further? Ev ery traveler on the continent fairly admits that Louisville presents a thousand attractions that Cincinnati, even with all her vast resources, can never boast. MRS. o’DOSNOVAN ROSSA. This gifted lady, the charming wife of Rossa, (the Irish patriot) is now in this city, and will give the second of her scries of readings from the poets on to-morrow night. Her noble hus band now pines in a dungeon in Ireland, and it is for him that she seeks the aid and the sympa thies of the New World. It is gratifying to know that she has fonnd here, not among onr Celtic citizens alone, but amongall classes, an earnest, most substantial welcome, and God speed her glorious mission. Gen. Philip St George Cooke has arrived here for the purpose of assuming the command made vacant by Gen. George H. Thomas, who starts to San Francisco during the coming week. Onr business prospects remain un changed from the favorable statements of former communication. Improvements of every kind still continue upon the increase, and Louisville is extending her borders in every direction. Gen. Beaure gard still remains in the city, the guest of H. D. Newcomb, Esq. Gen. Kirby Smith is also here, together with many other distinguished personages of more or less note. To-day is Whitsuntide, and it will be appro priately observed, both at the Catholic and the Episcopal Churches. The several sanctuaries are already beautifully decorated with flowers, and crowds are now hurrying to the various churches. We throw aside the pen and join them. Adieu till another day. O. L. S. An Issue on Ritualism. We are at last, says the New York World, to have a Martin vs. Mackonochie case in this country. Bishop McHvaine, of Ohio, and one of his “refractory” presbyters, Rev. Mr. Tate, have bared their unbuttoned foils for areal ritu alist fight The Bishop has no love for cestbetio religion; Mr. Tate’s ritualistic excesses, as they seem to D/. McHvaine, are very slight, indeed, when measured by the New York standard. At the request of his congregation, he introduced surpheed choir, and “authorized processional singing of psalms and hymns by a procession of choristers entering the church door.” At the request of his bishop to discontinue the practice he refused, thinking that it was a matter for the vestry and not tho bishop to decide. Whereup on the bishop summons him before an ecclesias tical tribunal, charged with violating his prom ise to “ conform to the worship and doctrines of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America,” and furthermore with violating his “ordination vow to follow the godly admonition of his bish op.” The matter came up recently before the American Church Union, in this city, and a se ries of resolutions were passed indorsing the ac tion of Rev. Colin Tate, and promising him le gal and pecuniary support. Several prominent ritualistic clergymen spoke strongly in his favor and rejoiced that an opportunity of testing the ritual question in an American ecclesiastical court had at last been found. Now that the foils have been crossed, we will wait the next pass. The Troubles of an Aeronaut.—Tho French aeronaut, M. Eugene Godard, has been makin ascents in his enormous balloon Lo Colosse, am l passengers on a tear aloft at the rate of 300f. a head. On his return to earth at the end of his second trip he met with a strange mishap. At about six miles from Florence the volume of gas was diminished, the grapnels were thrown ont, and the party alighted in the midst of a crowd of gaping rustics, many of whom had their pipes in their months. M. Godard, hav- to let out tho gas remaining in his balloon, politely begged the smokers to retire; but, says correspondent, he might as well have spoken to the cabbages growing around. All the louts pressed forward, puffing away and lighting luci- fers on their sleeves. The consequence may be imagined. In the twinkling of an eye the air was a sheet of flame, and though nobody was hurt, the balloon, valued at G.OOOf., was re duced to tinder. Then followed a disreputable scene of violence and extortion. One insisted upon a compensation for the fright, another for his pig whose tail had got singed by the fire, another for the pestilential effects of tho gas npon his cabbages, and so on. As these de mands were enforced by decided threats, ac companied by some significant cudgel-play, the aerial travelers were compelled to satisfy all de mands. T •. r New York Express says: “ The anti- Sprague party won in Providence, R. L, yester day ; but.it cost them $30,000 paid, and $50,000 more pledged, according to the Providence Post (Radical). The most Radical and least honest party appears to have won by money, and hence forth a Providence election is as rotten as an election elsewhere where votes are openly bought and sold.

There remain only abontseventy-five miles of this road to be built, before we can have the satisfaction of announcing to the world its en tire completion, and chronicle the daily and hourly arrival of trains, heavily laden, from the great producing sections with which it connects us. Then indeed will a new era really commence ...1% to 2 per cent in the thrift, progress and prosperity of our beautiful city, and the wishes of her many friends be realized in the busy life scenes in her magnificent bay, on her wharves and through her streets. Why it is the authorities of the road are not making any preparations at this point toward the building of depots, offices, etc., we do not know,, but presume they will soon begin this work. However, if we are to have the road completed to the Gulf Road by July or thereabout, accord ing to promise, we do not see that there is any time to waste in making these preparations. We would infer that the managers of the road design building their shops at Macon, from the fact of their recently having bought ten acres of land from the city of Macon for such use. "Why they should do so we cannot understand. Certainly no better, if as good, facilities are offered as at Brunswick. As we understand, tho company here have a large body of land granted to them by the city, with the expectation that their shops and other buildings would be located at this end of the line. We would take pleasure in laying before the public the positive information as to how long before we will have some actual improvements, in the way of the erection of depots, wharves, etc. Who will furnish the dots for tho benefit of an anxious public ?—Brunswick Appeal, 15th.
