We have kept open our columns, until the
last moment, expecting full and correct ac-
count of the entire proceedings had at the pre-
sentation of banner to Harmony Division No.
2, Sons Of Temperance, Of Alexandria, on
Tuesday last We have been disappointed,
however Expecting to give the proceedings
next week in full, we will now merely state,
that the banner, which is truly splendid, was
presented, through the Rev. Mr.. Danforth, by
the ladies of Alexandria, to Harmony Division,
in reward, we presume, for their untiring de-
votion to the Total Abstinence cause. The
Rev. gentleman, in presenting the banner,
made power appeal in behalf Of the cause,
and paid high compliment to those engaged
in the glorious work of reformation. P. w.
P. Thomas N. Davy received the banner on
the part of the Division; his reply to the re-
marks of Mr.. Danforth, were decidedly the
best we have ever heard on similar occasion.
The presentation took place in the market
square, and was witnessed by a large and re-
spectacle assemblage of ladies and gentlemen;
indeed it appeared as though the citizens
turned out en- masse to witness the ceremony.
The Divisions of the city and Georgetown were
present to the number Of about two hundred.
After the benediction, the Order marched
through the principal streets Of the city; thence
to the rooms over the market-house, where
they partook Of a splendid collation. provided
by Harmony Division. About o'clock the
Washington and Georgetown Divisions left for
the city, and arrived ia good season.


At night the teetotalers Of Alexandria held
meeting in the market-house square; which
was addressed by Mr.. Wilson, Of Georgetown,
and the Rev. Mr.. Matchett, Of Washington.
We learn that large number subscribed TO
the glorious pledge at this meeting.
