The trip to Elizabethport was performed in about an hour, the distinguished party afriving at the residence of their host a few minutes before eleven o’cloox. THE GENERAL'S QUARTERS. The residence of Mr. Baiz, where General Santa Anna will remain for the next few days, is one of the most pictureequely situated and elegantly fitted of the rural retreats scattered along the Jersey shore. The house itself stands back a short distance from the country road leading to the bay, forming the central object in an ex panse of garden ground, fruit trees and vines, while the front of the building 1s ornamented, §without being con- eealed, by a profusion of running plants and flowers. Here our representative found the General resting after the monotonous fatigue of a sea voyage, while the mem- bers of his staff seemed to more actively enjoy the dole Sar niente of their Jersey quartery. SANTA ANNA himself is aman about five feet nine inches in height, apparently eome sixty years of age, with dark hair, searcely tinged with the chill destroyer's touch, and strongly marked features, typioal of the intelligont Mexi can and the resolute, self-reliant man of the world, Me wears no beard, #0 that the character of the lower por tion of his features ie readily legible.

Another day has passed, and however the main business hay been affected, the Chief Organizer” cannot boast offa relaxation from the cares of life. Cal's and interviews were the order of the day. Argong the visitors were Judge Uonnolly and ox Senator Meany, who remained faithiul t the Roboam of the movement after the revolt of the obstinate majority. While the C. 0, can be thus besieged without limit wo the number of visitors, little can be expected by tho friendn of Fenianism, Tho committee opened their eyes to this point; and inthe afternoon there wax quite a »tir amor the officials, business held sway, and @ temporary cenma- tion of the interviews ensued, Stephens showed mora activity than any other, gliding swift-footed from the committee room to bis chamber, and immediately retarn- ing, a6 if be had forgotten something, The prime busi- ness was the preparation for the Jones’ Wood celebration on Tuesday.
