Around the site spacious platforms were erected, which were occupied by the dis distinguished - tinguished distinguished guests, the Masons and Knights Templar, and others who were so fortunate as to secure tickets. There were probably some five thousand persons on the ground, very few military being present, as the walk from the camp to the stand was rather too uninviting and the pleasures of camp life too great.

General Hancock also called, and as he passed through the crowd he was greeted with hearty cheers. The Masons and Knights Templar, who are quartered on Temple Farm, just opposite and at the head of the Military Encampment, formed in procession, and, headed by a brass band, marched over the dusty road to Lafayette Hall. There were about 850 Templars and some six hun hundred - dred hundred Mas ms in line, and they presented a showy, splendid appearance.

The exercises were opened with a lengthy prayer by Bishop Harris, of the M. E. Church South. The assemblage was the largest of any day since the celebration, there probably being over ten thousand per persons - sons persons present, and the attendance of ladies was particularly large. The steamers from Norfolk, Richmond and Balti Baltimore - more Baltimore came in with hundreds of people, who re returned - turned returned late last night. It is expected that there will be large crowds here to-morrow, also, to witness the grand military review, in which over 15,000 troops will participate. But to return to the exercises of to-day. After the prayer by Bishop Har Harris, - ris, Harris, the Centennial Hymn, which was given in my telelegram, was sung by an imm-nte choir of three hundred voices, with thrilling effect. President Arthur was then introduced, and delivered an address that was remarkable for its brevity, considering it was the maiden speech as President of the United States. President Arthur is very prepossessing in appearance, and has the style aud manner of a cultivated gentle gentleman. - man. gentleman. Ho was evidently somewhat agitated, and in delivering his address evinced fcis em embarrassment. - barrassment. embarrassment. His address was written, and he had failed to commit it to memory, and had to refer to his manuscript several times, after re repeating - peating repeating himself two or three times Notwith Notwithstanding - standing Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the Presi President's - dent's President's speech had a good effect. It was conservative in tone and was expres expressive - sive expressive of a desire for the strengthening of frater fraternal - nal fraternal relations between the States. His references to the national bereavement and the relations between the United States and the European countries, and especially of the gratitude felt towards the French nation for the valuable assistance rendered this Republic in the early days of its struggle, were received with the greatest enthusiasm. The responses made by the French and German representa representatives - tives representatives were excellent. Col.

The music was exceedingly fine and rendered with imposing effect. The oration of Hon. Robert C. Win Winthrop. - throp. Winthrop. of Massachusetts, who is now in his 75th year, was a most able and eloquent effort, but its extreme length was rather wearisome to the audience, who had to stand for several hours in the bleak wind. During his remarks he took occasion to refer to Virginia in the very high highest - est highest terms, stating that the grand old State had never in her history found it necessary to bor borrow - row borrow orators. A State that had given to the country a Jefferson, a Patrick Henry, a Wash Washington - ington Washington and other illustrious sons, hafl never, and could never stand in need of any tongue to tell of the glorious deeds that had been per performed - formed performed on her soil.

Quincy, Ills., October 22 - About 35,000 acres of land have be; n overflowed by the break in Warsaw and Indian Grove levees. T eis Imminent danger of a crevasse at Ea_t Hannibal, which would cut out sev several - eral several railroad bridges. The only means of communication now remaining between Quincy and the West is the Louisvill* 1 branch of the Chicago, Bur Burlington - lington Burlington and Quincy Road. This link is also in danger of being broken just below the city, the track being covered with from twelve to fourteen inches of water for two miles. Yesterday passenger trains of four fourteen - teen fourteen cars, with two engines, were sent from Hannibal to Qaincy over this track. The train was made up of Missouri, Kansas and Texas,Hannibal and St. Joseph,and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy cars. The scene as the train passed slowly over the treacherous track was most thrilling. The fire in the front engine was put out, but the eDglne in the rear of the long train pushed it safely through. The trains on the Ohio, Missis sippi and Pacific division of the Wabash have all been discontinued. The roads will suffer severely, the water being so high that the road beds will be washed out and bridges carried away. A bad washout is re reported - ported reported on the Quincy, Missouri and Pacific Road.between Humphreys and Trenton. The damage to the railroads, together with tbe loss of live stock and the destruction of farming property, will make this flood the most disastrous that ever occurred in this section of the country. St. Louts, October 22 - A dispatch from Hannibal says tbe Mississippi has risen teD inches during the last twenty four hours. The levee In manv places is only a few Inches above the water, but still stands firm. The break near Rockport is constantly growing aider, and the water has already covered a great, part of tbe land eubject to overflow by a break tn that vicinity. R-fugees from Illinois continue to arrive in great l umbers, with stock and household goods. Gangs ol laborers continue to work a' the weak places in the levee, and the Wabash Railroad pluckily ps up the effort to prevent an overflow. The wa'er is now eighteen inches below high water mark, and twenty feet 6ix inches above low water mark. Stocks !u Loudon.
