Editor*?This fitv is called Ih modern Athens, and probably with in'ifl more livtert than the so c-xltetl " Am.tricai Modern Athena." Ilostoa may boast it claim t<> that title, from it* special ciillivti tion ol literalura, science, and the mitseii l'tit hardly from ite external resemblance.? However the question may he, hh to tin latter city, Elinlmrt! certainly well rum that title, so niirr*r?n'-'y omtoeded both, ii external appearance and the number < famous men,- philosophers, scientific schol ara pools, sod histoijaif*. who have lived and those who yet, reside within the wall of Scotland's beautiful capital. All of in are, more or less, influenced in our impres eicns of a pi ice. by our indi vidmtl sur rounding*. We had much that was ogreea bio auirounding- us, on awakening on tb? bright morning in llie New Ilavely Tem pfcranoo" Princess Street. The hotel wa< newly and handsomely fiti.od up, conse< quenllr was nil clean and pleasant; and Inst but not least to our slender pocket#, char get fot everythiag pr'nted on' a placard, ant all reasonable and cheap. Thus, one dny'i oxpense in a first class hotel, situated ot the most fashionable street, was not ntori than Sil 7.1, specie value, including Uire< good rucals. Nowhere in the world doc one get finer breads, fatter beef and niut ton, < r richer and more delicious butter than in Scotland. The fool provided ii excellent iu quality and sufficient in quau tit v. The Inequalities of the ground, and tin marked division of Kdittburg Into the Oh and tlte New Town, makes the cityj-rosent from a general view, a highly variegated ntn pit-using appearance. The modern or New Town, with its wide streets, fine buildings and niaguifioent monuments, looks von beautiful and'imposing, ns s'en from tin eminence of Gallon Hill, on the cut. Oi the south of the New Town, divido-1 fron it by a deep gorge, lies the less regular, bit perhaps more picturesque. Old Town. Tin New Town has been l-ni t up ehi-fly sinci the union of Scotland niut Kngland ; aid tie fere the middle of but. century it co'th hardly have been sa d to be started. Tin Old Town is. thercfo'e, historic F.-lin'uttg The principal street of this poition of tin city is High Street, and its eastern eontinti ntion to ilolyrond i'tiince, is called Gnu--ti pate. On this street, when Kdinhurg \v? the capital of Scotland, lived tlie pioin Scottish uabililv, who frequented the Roy nl Gntirt. Naturally Kdinburg Castle 'claimed firs oor attention. Walking down the hroiu avenue of IViuccss Street, past the beniuifi monument to Sir Walter Sett, wo crossed by flights of stone steps, the deep porg whlt-lt separates Old from New Town, atnla? cended the at-ep way to the Castle in tit south-western prirt of the city. On eiihe ride of us, gloomy and tall, urn; and time marked roofs All tlie fort ificn lions of the Castle still show the signs u the style of w a I fare, now long ago disused The draw-bridge over the wide mid d<-c| fossa.

"Mom Mig," an uncouth looking monster con not is prominent ill view, on the hatlh tin lit i tlie Castle. Its ins *?iption tells the rewde that it wns cast at Alotis Brittany, 1481 burst in 1G8'J, on the eciisioii ot the vi*i of the l>uUe of York, n't <-r w ill ds J.iun s II of Kngland,; and restored to the Scotch le Ocorge IV, in 16-jy, after it had rcfbiiinei in the Tower td London for oue hitudrei and twenty five years.

Wade Hampton arrkoh or ubnrral bamctoiv, General Hampton said : J-'rlloK- of Greenville: Your Committee haru requested tue to join in this grandcelebratiou, and I now come to tuako my acknowledgments for your kindness. While there arc so many able speakers who arc prosent and willing to address you, I doiu it my duty to suy hul n few words to show how profoundly has this reception stirred tuy inmost heart. Tho interests now involved ure greater and more stupendous than those of the war, for wo are fi/hting for a free government and for the constitution given us by our fuihers. Khali it he permitted lo go beyond our reach without n mighty efiort to retain and rC establish it ? This constitution will restore to life great and pure principles, which the insatiate Radical has attempted to ignore and destroy. Tho hope of n brighter and better future must draw yon together, for the Radical party mean war?omor, unioioiiling war. ?t? denounce a? falsehoods nil their assertions uud propositions to tbo contrary. The Democratic purty want nOtl desire peace. Wo of the South waul pence in order that our burnt nnd ruined cities uiay l>e rebuilt-? pence so that wo may creel temples to.tbo living tJod. I say again, We want pence! These men wbo talk about war used that war only to obtain position uud to enrich themselves. These fellows arc trying to. kludlc excitement between the white nnd colored man, to set otic against the other, and by so doing to mnko of tbo colored man the instrument by which tbey may obtain political ..ggratidizeinctit. The soldiers who had boeti to the front and home the brunt of battle, were ready and williug to receive us as brothers. They had already extended the right hand of fellowship i and fraternal nfTccti <n, nnd it had been rcccived in all sincerity. Past issues have been 1 lined, and we must look forward to tbo success of the great Democratic party. These men have said that wo should coinc back with our | rights, dignity and honor unimpaired. The election 1 consider a foregone ovncluI sion. Stevens, who has been tottering on the verge of the gruve, has at last fallen in. The ' men who have l.ccn acting "outside of the I Constitution." have boon doing it only lor the i purpose of retaining power. They hare held I it by litic and fraud, and tbo mighty hosts of the M< itinerary arc marching on from the lakes to the srulf, gathering strength daily, and thoy will give us equal lights?right* unimpaired. The Radicals, on the other hand, claim to be apostles of peace while holding swords at our ' very tntouts. There arc three kinds of peace. The first, that emanating from the biotihead, , that which passes all understanding. Then there I* the white robed angel, spreading her wings, and with the olivo ''ranch in her huud, . showering j"y and prosperity over the smiling land.
