TUESDAY, OCTOBEE. IS. J. A. MOOD. M. D. \ D. B. ANDERSON, j YOKKTOW3? CENTENIAL. | This week will be a memorable chapter ir. | the history of the American Republic in ; celebrating the centennial of the surrender of j Cornwallis at Yorktown, when the occasion j finally culminates into the grand pageant j which will take place on Tuesday, Wednes- ; day, Thursday, and Friday. It should also j be a matter for national gratiScation that j those stirring scenes which closed our strng- j gie for national independence have been j recorded upon the-walls of our imposing! Capitol, so that oxxr allies may behold in j living colors the emblazoned truth that j republics are not ungrateful. The descendants of Lafayette and other j distinguished Frenchmen are to be the nation's ' honored guests at this time, and the sons of i the two greatest republics will join hearts and j hands to burn the incense of fraternal love > and patriotism on Wednesday. ?n a picture which represents the surrender ? of the British to the Americans at Yorktown j in October 19th, 1781, the Fj&a^^ja^C^^ ur* ! drawn up.onJJfcJgtf^^ Americans on j each ander their respective Com. j manders-in-Chief, Count Rochambeau and ? Washington. The uniforms" of the French j are emblazoned with golden embroidery, I jeweled orders glitter on their breasts, plumes ; held in place by gemme? aigrettes sweep over ; their chapeaux. Their horses appear to champ | golden bits, and the spurred feet rest in stir- \ ?ups of precious metal embossed with rare j workmanship. The continental officers wear ? uniform of dark blue and buff, with a small j pompon of feathers on the left side of their j cocked hats. Gen. Lincoln, the hero of the hour, mount? ed on a superb cream-colored charger; stands mid-way between these two lines of war j worn men, and between the two lines march j the conquered Britons to surrender their j arms. Gen. Lincoln was appointed by Washing- j ion to receive Cornwallis' "sword, for the i reason that he had been subjected to humil- j iatinff treatment bv Cornwallis at Charles- j teta'. This "was too much f<ir the proud j Englishman. He pleaded illness, and Gen. j O'Hara, second in command, presented Corn j wallis' sword to Gen. Lincoln, who gracious- j ly and patriotically received it and immedi- ! ately returned it to the noble and gallant Irishman. Among the distinguished names of the French officers present are, Count Deuxponts, j Duke de Laval Montmorency and Count Cus- ? tine, Colonels of Infantry ; the Duke de Lau- j aun, Colonel of Cavalry, a descendant ofthat madcap Lanzun who married Le Grande Mademoiselle, cousin of Louis XIV j Gen. Cboisy, Marquis de St. Simon, Count Fersen and Count Dumas, aides-de-camp to Count Rochambeau ; the Marquis Chastellux, (?aron Viomeuil, Count de Barre and Count de Grasse, Ad-nixa^of the French Navy. Washington was- .accompanied by Col. Stevens, of the artillery : Thomas Nelson. Governor of Virginia ; the Marquis de La? fayette, Baron Steuben, Maj. Gen. Clinton, of New York; Gen. Wayne (Mad Anthony), j Gen. Peter Muhlenburg, of Pennsylvania ; ; Gen. Henry Knox, of the artillery : Lieut, j Col. Huntington, aide to Gen. Lincoln; i Col. Timothy Pi- kering, Coi. Alexander j Hamilton, Cul. Walter Stuart, Col. Nicholas j Pish, grandfather of Grant's Secretaiy of j State, and Col. Laurens, of Sou^h Carolina, j In writing on this subject the inmost re- i cesses cf our soul are enkindled with admira- j tion and love for the heroic work accomplish- ? ed at Yorktown a hundred years ago by our [ forefathers ; and at this moment we are im- j pressed with the correctness of Daniel Web- j ster's words : "Human and mortal though weare, weare. J nevertheless, not mere insulated beings. 1 without relation to the past or future. j Keither the point of time nor the spot of earth rn which we physically live bounds our rational and intellectual enjoymeuts We live in the past by a knowledge of its his- ! fory, and in thefuture by hope and anticipa- | tion. By ascending to an association with i .our ancestors ; by contemplating their ex- ? ample, and studying their character : by ? partaking their sentiments, and imbibing j their spirit; by accompanying them ia their j toils; by sympathizing in their sufferings i and rejoicing in their successes and their j triumphs,-we mingle our own existence with . theirs, and seem to belong to their age. We j become their cotemporaries, live the lives which they lived, endure what they endured, and partake in the rewards which they j enjoyed." Tiie Yorktown Programme. The programme below has been arranged j for the 18th, ?9th and 20th of October, or ; ?what are known as tho United State? govern- ; meat da\-s, at the Yorktown Ct-~ ten nial. ? The exercises on these da vs will be under thc j control and direction of thc Yorktown Con- j gressional Commission, of which Senator i Johnston is chairman. Congress, it will oe j remembered, gave this commission $20,000 ? in addition to the $100,000 for the mona- : ment. It also gave Secretary Blaine a Uko ! amount to entertain the French visitors. | The Commission will have their headquarters j on the steamer George Leary, which has been . ?bartered for tue purpose. Mr. Blaine will j have hie headquarters, it is understood, on ? a war vessel, which is to be decorated in a I manner beetling the occasion. The following are the details of the pro- j gramme on government days : October 18-Medley overture of national , airs by the Marine Baud of Washington ; j meeting called to order at 12 o'clock (sharp) j by Senator Johnston; prayer ; "The Star- i Spangled Banner," by tue Cent?n nial Chorus ' (as thc last line is being sung the United j States fiag will bc hoisted, and ihe batteries i on shore will fire a salute, which will be taken j up by the ships in the harbor): introductory , address by Senator Johnston; "Marseillaise !

The Yorktown Centennial Association have purchased the Temple farm and tendered its use for the camping ground. They have also ? renovated and repaired from celler lo garret ? the Moore House, which is on Temple farm. ! It is handsomely carpeted and papered and j tendered to the Congressional Commission j for use by its guests. The Association has j erected a building 2G? by 04 feet for hotel purposes, designed to accommodate 1,000 per? sons with beds. On the part of the people of Yorktown, absolutely no preparations are being made. A little wooden shanty, with the words "Opera House" over thc-entrance, and half a dozen or more board h nt? for dis . ^"Mi^^lti^c^uaitsted' the enterprise of "the ? natives. The encampment for U. S. troops and State military and masonic societies will hw on the Temple Farra, about a mile and a half ? distant from ihe monument site. It is an j open field, nearly level, but with sufficient : undulation for proper drainage, and well ', adapted to army encampments. In position, the regulars will occupy the right of the Meld. ? and General Uancook's head-quarters will be . here. The same ground was occupied by : Washington's line one hundred years agOj and br Gen. McClellan's army in "lSG2. Un this field there will be from 1,200 to 1,500 ? tents, each sheltering fifteen men. I; is esti- j mated that about 25,000 military and 5,000 Masons will be in the teats. For the accom? modation of the executive officers of the gov? ernment, members of the Cabinet, the Congres? sional Commission and distinguished guests, a reception building 100 feet long and GO feet wide has been built. The camp will be under the command of Major General Wi o Seid S. Hancock, U. S. A., and will bc governed, so far as may be practicable, by the rules and regulations of the army. THK TENTS. While it is the intention of the commission to furnish tents to shelter the whole command, il is questionable whether the limited amount of canvass placed at its disposal by the gov? ernment will meet the demand, owing to the I large numbers expected to participate in the i celebration. The basis cf the camp will be j about 1,500 hospital tents, a large number of J which will be placed at the disposal of the j Masonic body. But with the assistance of the shelter brought by States il is expected suffi canvas will be provided for the entire encamp- j meat. STREETS AND AVENUES. The camp is laid out in streets and avenues, each named and the tents numbered, so that every officer and soldier while in camp will have a designated habitation to which he may be addressed by mail or telegraph and where he may receive his friends. TELEGRAPH LISES, TELEPHONE, POST OFFICE. ANI> ELECTRIC LIGHTS. Telegraph lines will connect the camp with all parts of the country, and a telephone will connect all parts of the Yorktown grounds with each other. A post office will be located at Yorktowu, with probably a branch office at the camp, and the Postoffice Department has already ordered a daily mai! service to Yorktown from all points, the camp will be brilliantly lighted ai night by electric lights. L-CATiyX OF STATES^s, The probability is that the arrange-^-1 will involve the placing of the States accord- : ing iothedateoftheiradmissionin?otheUnion i that being by some deemed the fairest and most feasible way-the regular army of coarse, having the r;ght. ?5U j;AYS Of CELEBRATION are Tuesdav. October ISth. Wednesday, 10th, Thursday, 20th. and Friday, 21st, 133;. WATER. Water for drinking and cooking purposes will be distributed throughout the camp in pipes. Fuel ia limited amouut will be placed at each companies quarters. TUE QUESTION A3 TO FEEDING large bodies of troops as w?d? as the immense number of visitors has been one to which the master of c?r?monies has given particular at? tention. It would have been wholly im? practicable for the commision to provide or arrange for thc subsistance of the military organizations visiting Yorktown. Soldiers of the regular army will he provided with regu? la rations, and the State organizations have been advised so ?ar as practicable to establish company messes on the grounds. The situa? tion of Yorktown in the vicinity of excellent fishing grounds, oyster beds and market gar? dens, with Norfolk Baltimore, Riehmond and Washington as basis of supplier, renders such a course eminently expedient. At the same time the short period of the stay at Yorktown rendering this course unfeasible in all cases,, the commission has used its unnost efforts to encourage caterers of satisfactory capability and means to erect buildings, so as to subsist such organizations as are otherwise unpro? vided as wei! as tho iarge crowd of visitors. From present indications there will be a . sufficient number of hotels, eating-houses and j restaura nts on the grounds to properly provide j for any demands that may be made upon j them; Several caterers from Washington i have erected buildings ot: the grounds of sufficient capacity to feed. THIRTY TU USAXO PEOPLE A l>.i V. Efforts of the commission have been directed toward u min itu um prive ?ur meals, and it is believed a good, substantial repast be pro? cured for from 50 ce??s lo Si per mea!. As regards lodgings, it is arranged that thc hotel and restaurants will t.e utilized, as well us thespnre room in camp and vessels moored in the river, while au excellent ferry service tn Richmond. Norfolk and Fortress Monroe ?-ill enable numbers of people to ?each these points at all hours day and night. TUE A:: M v AJ? o NAVY. New York harbor has been full of United States vesseis awaiting ihe arrivals of the Fren;h frigates. The French men-of-war have been convoyed to Yorktowu by the American war vessels. TUE NeElLITY. The Marquis de Rochambeau, accompanied by Madame, thc Marquise, and by ten repre? sentatives of thc families of oSl ers who held commands in the French army a: Yorktown, sailed from Havre on Septen.ber 2Glh, abd ar? rived in New York about a week ago. and are now at Yorktown. They are guests of the Yorktown Centennial Association. TU K PU ESS AT Y?.|:KT?'WS.

[From Our Special Correspondent.j -o YORKTOWN, VA . Ocr. 14. Deer Waichmtnt and Southron : 1 have been looking out ever since leaving Sumter for something interesting for your readers but have seen .vc/ much Centennial, that things have got somewhat mixed. 0':r route to Norfolk lay over the W. C. & A. R. R., the W. & W. R. R., the Gaston ? Seaboard R. R., and from thence to this place by steamer. I have not traveled from Wilming? ton to Weldon since the war and was much struck with thc wonderful impro~-:pent and rapid growth of the towns along thuTftw^. j Every Depot has sprung un into a thriving; country village, with an appearance of clert.c '.. liness and order so often lacking.;*----./.;,?ac! towns. The extensive^- uT^ommer- rial fer :'v-r.TS and Ui><7ccessful cultivation of cot? ton . it was scarcely known before the war. have been the potent factors in bringing about this great change. GoIJshoro is a thriving little city. Several large buildings are being erected and an unmistakable air of thrift perv ides the {'lace. During our short stop there I met tip with an old citizen who spoke most hopefully of its future prospects, and the first evidence he mentioned cf its prosperity was the establishment of a first class Graded School. I thought of dear old Sumter immediately, and wondered how long it would be ere ice too could point to a well organized, weil equipped, well supported school as an evidence of our prosperity. Even Weldon is looking brimin and hope? ful, though many of your readers have a very distinct recollection of thc place and its dreary horrors during thc war. To-day,, however, it looked really civilized. xor. FOLK presents a busy bustling appearance to us land-lubbers. The Centennial is all the rage there now. Huge placards stare you in the face at every town, advertising something connected with thc exhibition, the streets are gay with arches, flags and decorations, and frc'm the extensive ferry service which has been organized it seems that '-everybody and the children" expect to attend the celebrated Centennial. The trip up the Bay from Norfolk is the best part of the journey. Bright skies, smil? ing waters, ships and boats crowded with pleasure seekers, (The Columbia carries 3,000. The whole cf Sumter, men, women and children, could be accommodated on its j huge decks.) and thousands of yards of gay bunting streaming from spurs and rigging, give every naval station in Chesapeake Bay a holiday appearance. Fortress Monroe, Old Point Comfort, Newport News and every sta? tion on the route are brilliant with millions of flags and banners buttering under the bright? est of skies. Our Quarter-master, Lieut. Lee, will be very busy with his detail, doing what everybody j thought the Commissioner appointed by the j State had already done. It was understood j and so published by our State papers that all ; the arrangement?? were to be made by ihe ?. ! S. troops, and that Commissioner Hamilton ! would have everything in readiness for the Battalion next Tuesday. But Commis? sioner Hamilton has done nothing of the sort. Ile has taken two trips to Yorktown, had a.high oid time at the expense of the State and will return here with the Battalion and complacently view the work he ought to havedone.butdidnot. We will haveeverything in readiness for the boys next week, but there is much to do first, and I fear that onr antici? pated nips to Washington and other places, which we had mapped out so nicely before leaving Sumter, wiil ail prove a pigment of the imagination with not one substantial fact to rest upon. 1 will complete ibis- ram? bling epistle this afternoon and nins; now stop and get breakfast. .COESTOWX Is a small, insignificant looking place, and one would never think, from its appearance, it was connected with any important events ia history. Some of your readers know how it looked nineteeu years ago, aud it has not improved since. Of course the Centennial Commission have changed the appearance cf the place a great deal ; but when the ..'show" is ever, and the arches, tents, flags, <fcc. are removed, poor old Yorktown will look as dilapidated as ever. Otir encampment, is about two miles from ! the landing, which had to be located farther j up the river, because of shea! water. The first thing one secs in coming up to Yorktown, is the pavilion erected near the Moorehouse and by the cueampmeut; and then the high bluff comes into view, capped by the even rows of white tents, gleaming in the sun. The boat passes by nil these and up ihe river to the wharf, where we disembark. Several LT. S. war vessels, with grim looking cannon protruding from port-holes, ride at anchor in front of the town ; steamho.its by thc dozen, throng ihe wharves, and seores of oyster-boais are drawn upon every side, li' the Chesapeake Bay had no other claims Lo immortality, her oyster banks alone would give her that right. (Your correspondent is So thoroughly impregnated, saturated, as it were, with Bay oysters, that he caa speak , feelingly cn the subject ) Bat the Genius of j History can tell of many deeds of rc?vwu which have transpired upon her waters.:! Some of the mostsiirringevents of three great wars have been enacted here, and her claims tu immortality can be based ou higher grounds than even good oysters. But I must close this rambling epistle, which has heen written at odd limes, and iu various ways. I see a boat's crew of English sailors ?lull? ing past me willi ihe U. S. flag floating over them. What a contrast to ont hundred vears ago. W. F. R. YORKTOWN, VA., OCT., 15. Dear Watckvian <j* Southron: As I look upon thc- historic spot where U'llara deliv? ered Corn wallis' sword to Lincoln. I become soul-iuspired, and while I aui feeling patriotic, I guess, I had better let you known all about Yorktown, aud the arrangements for the Cel? ebration. This ancient and plodding little village is j all excitement over the approaching Ouleu-v! nial celebration', which occurs between the ' IStli and 23d instants. Tho lillie town is . already crowded with visitors and persons ? who have; boo : hs or places of business here, i The three small hotels in the place are crowd- ! ed with guests, who are -charged most exor- ? bitalli rates for very indifferent acccir-moda liOns.

A large number of ladies are exneclec to bc herc, but unless '.hey arc prepared to rough it in tents with cold north wind blowing across the open fields they cannot hope to remain here unless they have friend; among the few inhabitants.

General FItzhngh Lee. the Com? mander of the Virginia brigade rf militia, h.ts been trying for severa; -lays to secure rooms here for his family, bu*. I am toid with? out success. A prominent officer of crier' the Masonic bodies expected here, a few days ago endeavored to rent a two-room house near the parade ground for his family. The owner, ar. old asa, offered to rent the premises for ten cays fer two hundred dol? lars, just about twice as much as it cost to build the house. Another party tried to rent a farm-house uo;;r by, but the rates charged were so exorbitant he surrendered all idea ol' bringing his family here. A SrST'?RlC MAN'.WX; Tho old Nelson House-one of the most historic buildings in the place-was rented i v the Government for $500. Tiri? has been the headquarters of Colonel Forsythe, who has charge of the construction done herc. This structure belongs to Miss Nelson, a descend? ant of the old Colonial Governor. Itpresents about the same appearance it did probably when Cornwallis surrendered, just one hun? dred years ago. Moore House, the building in which the terms of capitulation were agreel upon and signed by the commanders of the British and American armies, has been given several coats of pain; and presents quite a neat appearance. This will be occupied by the distinguished French visitors now in this country. The interior cf the old house has been remodeled, and the chambers, halls, dining-room and reception room handsomely furnished and fitted up The carpets in the reception room and several of the chambers are luxurious. The whole arrangement of the house does great credit to those to whom it was entrusted. The building is a long two Story and a-half gable-roofed frame house. It fronts the river and commands a view of the whole country for miles around. A wide hall runs through the centre of the house, the walls of which are wainscoted up to the ceil? ing. The dining-room is about twenty by thirty-five feet. The walls of this room are also wainscoted. The wainscoting has been handsomely painted and otherwise remodeled. On the west of the house a temporary cook-room has been attached, which is to be presided over by a French cook, whose bill of fare has already beeu prepared for each day. President Arthur, who is expected to be hero on the 19th, at the opening, with several other prominent 'olinda!?, civic and military, dine with the French visitors on cue day during the celebration. Thc Presidential party, it is expected, will be quartered on board of a man of-war; which will be anchored in the river ne:ir ihe Moore House. The military en? campment is on the Temple farm, near the old Moore House. It is expected thu! thc camp will consi t cf 1.OOO regulars and ?0,000 militia. Several companies of regulars have already arrived and gone into camp. The most of the militiamen wi "? i get h ere by Sun? day. The l.'Hh Brooklyn Regiment wi!! get :o Richmond on 17tb, where tL.-y wi!! bo the guests of tue 1st Virginia Regimen: and '.villi that command arrive here on the 18th. The Pennsylvania troops will get 'acre on to-day. At any rate, those at? tending to their comfort here .-ay they expect many of the commands here to? day. Resides the military, there will be six thousand Masons in the camp. The camps of all of these organizations are on Temple farm, the regular and Masons in the field im? mediately in front cf the Morris House, and the volunteers, cr most of them, in the rear of the same. The locality is the most healthful and pleasant in this vicinity. The fie'd is almost level and the different camps will oc cupy about thirty acrss of land, lt will be thc largest military encampment seen in this country since ihe close of thc war. The whole cf the military wi!! be under the com? mand of General Hancock and will be reviewed by him and other field officers before tlie camp is broken. THE MYSTERIOUS CAVE. One of the most noted places here is a cav? ern localed near the river and in front of ihe old Nelson House. This is cailed Cornwallis' Cave, and the residents here tell many stories about the use.? to which it was put in Colonial days. One of these -.tories bas it that the cavern WHS the abiding place of a band of pi? rates which infested these waters ??shortly after tho cioSOjof the Revolutionary War. Another is that it was used by a band of smugglers, who made periodical ? Uris section in the early days of ihe Republic, and concealed themselves for months nt a limein Cornwallis' Cave, where they hui; high old times, drink? ing liquor upon which no lax ?vas paid; There are grave doubts about thc truthfulness of any of these stories, bul they are related by some of the natives with evident relish an.! readily accepted by some few of tho strang? ers. An enterprising Richmond mau ?ms ; rented the cave, inclosed it, and charges half a.doliar admission fee to see it. Thousands will no doubt, ex; lore the mysterious piaee and go back to their friends and retell the legends about the dark doings which were carried on in it a century ago. uxcuxsi; :* S^UMS-*. Thc managers of the > .port News exten? sion of tile Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad ex? pected and still promise to have cars running from Richmond herc during thc celebration. Those who have examined into the matter ex? press the opinion that it is utterly impossible.
