’ Monument FretivaL at AR- —Large numbers of persons bad passed the springs at an early hour, and, locat- ing flemselves opon pleasant spots, awaited the arrival of the various associatious, a description of whose procession to Georgetown we guve yes- terday Arrived at Arlington, the procession dismissed. The grounds presented a picturesque appearance. Most ample arrangements for dancing, gym- nastics, and the comfort of the inner man, bad been made, and upon the breaking up of the line, each of the several bodies proceeded to some spot on the ground designated as their headquarters by some distinctive badge. The general head- quarters were established at the Arlington House on the hill that o’ertopped the festive seene. The ‘Turngemeinde and Democratic ‘Turn Verien took ost near the temporary gymnasium that had ce erected for their sports Beyond, the word “‘Jayers”’ upon a tree announced the general head- quarters of the military. The Fresco Painters, die Maennercbor, the French Society de l'Union, bad also portions of the ground appropriated to thetr use, but the groups freely mingled, and the several headquarters were so in little else than uame On the bill-top, near the general head- quarters, a stand Lad been erected, variously adosued, over which were festooned Ameri- can ensigns, and which bore on its front a like- ness of Baron Steuben handsomely framed Thither, upon the arrival of the procession, tock’ d the associations and hung their banners and flags, the tri-colors of the German and French Re- lics waving with stars and stripes. To this d, about noon, music called the vast assem- e, and, the chairman baving announced in SBnyglish and German that the exercises would begin, the vast assembly, to the music of Bilas’s ; sang in German aa Ode appropriate to the occasion, written by Magnus Gross, and which was translated by Captain Kretsehmar. Mr A. Eberly, the ebsirman of the committee, then addressed the assemblage as follows: Ladies and Geatlemen: Wea e here assembled to celebrate a day whieh will long be remem- bered by all classes of our citizens. We are here assembled to celebrate the meney ofa in- guished hero of the American revolution, and to contribute our sbare as citizens of this Distri to the erection of a monument in honor of G: Steuben. [tis unnecessary for me to go into tails of bis life, but allow me to recall to yo memory the trying times of this country’s histo- ry, When the ¢ and glorious sons of 76, with stout hearts and tirm hands, declared their inde- pendence, and forever severed the chains which subjected them to foreign tyranny and despotism it was at this time that Geu. Steuben, who had seeved faithfully under Frederick the Great King of Prussia, left bis native land, impressed with the justice of the claims of these colonies to liberty and independence. He offered his ser- vices lo the greatest hero and statesmen the world ever saw—to Gen. George Washington. Those services were accepted, and he filled many offices of trust and respousibility with honor to himself and signal benetit to this country. He wou the contidence aud admiration of the “ Patber of bis fLountry,”” who declared Gen. Steuben to be a noble, faithtai, able soidier and patriot. Ladies and gentlemen, if this were the only recommend- aton he ever received, it would be enough to en- title bin: to a lofty monument, aud that his name be engraven imperisbably ou every American heart. . This festival was not gotten up for any political pgrty or purposes ; it is a national affair; and the name and fame of Gen. Steuben belons to the history of this country and no other. Yet ‘may Le proud to claim bim as our country- . We may be proud also of the reflection #2... battle was ever fongbt under the ylo- tious stars and stripes that Germans have not been willing, and have shed their life’s blood in defence of 1 ountry’s honor. Nor bave they ever proved traitors; and if ever a Benedict Ar- noid should be fo in our ranks, may the curse a d nt nation pursue Lim to his grave; and may the mother earth refuse to re- ceive Lis mouldering bones! Tuese are our sen- timents to-day—such lave they ever been—such will they be forever! The President having completed his remarks in English, renewed them in German, and when be concind+d— Mr. M. Gross was introduced, and delivered a stirring and patriotic address in German, which ‘we learn was principally devoted to an exposi- tion of the eminent services rendered by Baron Steaben during the war of American Independ- ence, reading, we understand, during his re- marks, a letter addressed tothe Baron by Gen Washiagton, in which the American commander- in-chief says—*- 1 wish to make use of this last moment of imy public life to signify, in the- strongest terms, my entire approbation of your conduct, and to express my seuse of the obliga- Uioa the public is under to ‘you for your faithful and meritorious services.”* The address was listened to with great atten- tion by the numbers assembled around the plat- form, and portions of it were hailed with ap- plause and cries of ** Bravo. ‘The applause whieh followed this oration hav- ing subsided, the Maenuerebor (Choir of Males,) Liedertafel (social Singers,) Swagerbund (Glee Ulnb,) then exeeuted in beautiful style the Ger- eslied’” (Song of the Band ) ‘fhe union of so many voices, making the woods vocal with ove of Mozart's fuest airs, produced a very tine eifect and the song was welcomed by the assemblage with loud applause The applause which followed the singing bav- ing subsided, the chairman announced, in Eng- fish and German, that he introduced to the andi- ence Capt. J.C. Kretsehmar, who came forward with a very graceful bow, and spoke as follows: My friends: | bave been calied to address upou a subject which bas already been introd by the eloquent speaker who preceded me | fear that my bumble efforts will fail in doing justice to the life and ecbaracter of the illustrious bero who is the cause of to-day’s festival.

The boats were t ed, num- bers took, on the tow-path, ‘the independent line’ to Georgetown. The omnibuses were crowded. The +: independent line” was extended into Washington. Without accigent or un- pleasant incident, the vest crowd that had during the day poured forth from the city, rested at nightfall beneath the roof-trees of their own homes. More than two thousand tickets were sold, and nearly one thousand dollars have been raised for the object of the festival—a monument to Steuben. Tue Pexirentiany —Having business in the vicinity of this institution yesterday, and being tired with the long ramble we had taken, we stopped at the office door and hada short but pleasant conversation with the estimable Wer. den, T Thornley, Esq., and bis polite assistant Mr. Mitchell. The subject of conversation was the prison and prisoners; and after giving us an outline of m: sas they stand,we were politely escorted throfizh the institution, and atlowed to become an eye witness of its order and cleanli- ness, and the mode of employing the prison- ers. The convicts, all in the prison uniform, were employed in the different departments —the white and colored separate, as far as convenient for the pes of their overseers. Some were engaged in shoemaking, some in broom-making, and others in the manufacture of window frames. Among those in the various shops we recognized many faces. the details of the immediate causes of whose incarceration it has been our duty to record within the past six years; and of these the majority might have been useful members of society, but for rum. Ia passing the cells in which the convicts sleep, our attention was directed to one in which laid an invalid. He was called to the grating, and we instantly recognized Richard alias or y , Jones. Tle is evidently very unwell and fee! and his appearance is that of a person in con- sumption. He is totally uaiit for service in the workshops at present. a A few cells distant, sitting in a chair at bis cella door, was a little Mexican, Vandora Otesse¢, who is now serving a second teri in this prison for assault and hepa | with intent to kill. This prisoner claims to have been employed as spy during the Mexican campaign and his fiolics a sprees ulter be arrived in this city, subsequent to the peace. are weil knowa tothe police thea in service. It ix highly probable that his career is ended. His feet are dreadfully swollen, and he appears now just ready to drop to pieces. In fact lis death at any day would not surprise the warden or the atiendants. Leaving the cell-range, we entered the shoe shop for colored convicts. This is the room for- merly used for hospital purposes, but is now used as a shop to separate the white and colored prisoners, and make room. From this we were conducted to the bakery, which is under the su- perintendeuce of John Day, who was sent to this prison for manslaughter. Here we saw speci- mens of the prison bread baked by Day. It is co sed of tine flour mixed with a little corn Jt was neat and cleanly in its appearance, and the baker seemed to have taken great pains in having all the utensils in his charge as clean aud bright as if never in use. Day was a brick layer by trade; but, as the Warden says, he ix now “ Jack-of-all-trades,” and useful and relia- bie wherever employed in the prison, Passing into the shops for the manufacture of brooms, shoes, window-frames, &c , we recog- nized several persons who, previous to their en- try here bad caused considerable excitement in the city by their outrageous acts We could not heip but notice that the prison- ers generally were very healthy in appearance. This we attributed to the regularity with which they get wholesome diet, plenty of pure air, good water, active exercise in the shops, plenty of rest, and temperate habits generally. ’In the last mentioned shops we noticed Croggin, Bailey, and Demaine, ajl in excelleat condition, the at- mosphere, diet, and employment in the Prison evidently agreeing with their constitutjons. Some of the convicts seem to be reconciled to their condition, and their behavior is greatly to their advantage ; while others are dixcontented. and appear tebe always designing mischief, and eudeavoring to excite the bolder and more ab: bodied to carry out their plaus. ‘These require strict watching, and their treacherous disposi- tions renuer it necessary for their guards and overseers to be constantly on the alert. Since the present Warden began his term of service an outbreak of turbulence on the part of prisoners occurred, in which the Warden received a severe blow when his back was turned from one of the prisoners ceeded, with tie assistance of bis guards and associates, in restoring order. He could not say who it was that dealt the blow, but tue posi- tion of Croyyin at the time, and the indications of guilt in bis counteuance, would jastify a sus- pieton that he was the assailant. The Warden related an incident that illustrates the ups and downs of life. A convict was sent to the prison. and the War- den, upon receiving bin, begun to inquire into bis birth, &c. “Where were you born? In Ireland wax the reply. ‘*Wohat part?’ The convict mentioned the town from which the War- den came when a child. The Waiden began to uestion him as to the people, and discovered that he was telling the truth, He then asked him if be recollected a little boy named ‘Thornley? “Ob yes.” said the prisoner, ‘he came to Amer iea forty years ago—I played with vim many times “Would you know him if you saw him again?” “Hardly, it has been so long.” “Wel said the warden, “J am the boy; forty years a: ago we were playing together tn childish inn cence ; now you are here « prisoner, and I your keeper? Among the broom-make: arently as much Interested as any workman he room in the correct adjustment of the brash to the handle was James P. Devlin—better known recently ax “the younger Devlin.’ Soon after bis arrival at the prison, he passed the usual ordeal of the Prison inspection, and was rigged in the Prison suitand put to work ‘fhe novelty of the pro- fession does not seem to atfect Lim at all, and he proceeds witb bis work as if be intended to de- rive pleasure from the employment. He speaks but seldom, and pays but little attention to any but bis instructor. As might be expected, by a new beginner at broom making, who has never been used to bard work, bis haids are somewhat torn by the sharp straw—hbis fingers are sore— and for a while bis labor will bea punisime -t; but, by sticking close to the business, he will become accust d to using the material, and he, when his te is finished, may tad himself an expert workman There are at present in the prison 108 convicts; males, 62 white, and 37 colored; females, 2 white, and 7 colored. Duriag the last month 13 were discharged. We cannot forbear to say that the warden and his assistants deserve credit for the condition in which the prixon is at present. Good order appears to be maintained among the pris- oners, and they are kept strictly up to the prison ons. The most particular attention is paid to the cleanliness of the institution throug b- Out, as upon this the health of the prisoners de- pends in & xreat measure ; and. as reformation is an object of their incarceration, great attention is given to their moral instruction by the Rev. Mr. Sipes, the prison chaplain. yO Fourrm District Potick Osrice.—Several persons have been tined for infractions of the city ordinance probibiting the placing of garbage and casting offensive substances into the streets, alleys, &c., within the first district. We pub- lish this by way of caution, as it is the determina- tion of the commissioners of bealth to have the law agalost street nuisances strictly enforced ‘The law in relation to street beggars will also be strictly enforced. Of ate this nuisance bas greatly increased. Iimpostors are not unfrequently found going about with ers. wettin, forth their great sutferin; ipapesau recommendations bav: ‘0 proved to be spuri- ous.

The surrounding country Was well represented in the sheds and at the wagon stands. The prices were about as quoted in the Star of Saturday last, and business was brisk.

F.— Yesterday, a very large ber. of our citizens participated in the grand union festival of the Central, Washington and Columbia Ledges, 1.0. O. F., consisting of a series of excursions to and a pic nicat Glymont—a beautiful stopping place on the Maryland side of the Potomnc river, some thirty miles below this cify. The steamers en- gazed for the occasion were the Thomas Collyer and G Page. They made, together, four round tri shying down rac large crowds at 7 and 11 o'clock, #. m., and fall complements of passengers at 3 and 7 o’cloelssp.m. The whole number of participants is to have ex- ceeded 1,500 persons, of w Provably about 500 were geatlemen, and the others ladies and children. Notwithstanding the crowded condi- tion of the boats, and the multitude scattered about the grounds in the vicinity of Glymont, however, so far as we could learn from extensive- ay circulating amidst the company, no untoward circumstance of any description occurred to dis- turb the harmony of the occasion. There was neither acetdent, nor fight, nor quarrel. during the entire day and evening; and yet no effort was to close the bar, or prevent the use of spirit- uous liquors. This good order was attributable rather to the character of the Petey we than to any preparation for suppressing disturbances, althoigt such preparations were made, and were ample to secure peace under all ordinaty circum- stances. The steamers which conveyed the excursion- ists to and from their destination were provided with bands of music, and those who went down in the afternoon amused ‘themselves on board = a series of pleasant cotillons on the upper ec Atthe“Glymont Pavilion,” which isasplendid lace for dancing, every opportunity was offered for the gratification of those who desired to en- gage in this species of amusement, and a great many of the excursionists availed themselves of the privilege. Others spent their time on shore in wandering through the neighboring groves, fishing, pitching quoits, swinging, or sitting quietly and enjoying the luxury of looking at the various resorts of their fellow excursionists to make themselves happy. All seemed happy and contented, and as the weather was delightful und the company agreeable, there was little ex- cuse for being otherwise. The return trips last evening were especially agreeable. The evening was clear and the air cool and pleasant. The gentle zephyrs were hardly sufficient to rutile the Rlassy surface of the waters, or disturb the auburn curls which jay loosely on the neck and shoulders of several beautiful passengers. The moon looked down upon the scenr, illumining everything with her soft silvery light, and enbancing the joy by dif. fusing a spirit of tranquility over the waters and woodlands. Ever and anon the band poured forth sweet music on the still air, “ Butpaucing the ser. with charmed melody,” and yaar 2 the rapturous pleasure of the oc- casion. On the last trip, there was a further en- tertainment provided, which sang a number truly praiseworthy. of the season ELEcTion cv Orvicers.—George Washington Tent, No. 265, I.
