Charleston, May 10, 8 p. m. The day has been frought with intensity of emotion. The" decorations are enormous- and the enthusiasm is all that fancy can conceive. It is doubtless known already that the Raleigh was grounded Tuesday evening. The reception, therefore, took place today. The Colfax and the tWiatoria ffent out and saluted the Raleigh at 9 a. m. Sumpter fired salutes and the grand old ship steamed slowly into the bay in graceful cir cle and rested about a half mile from the Wharf. On the escort was the . First Artillery band playing merrily, "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," "Amer yo " and other airs. Then theNaval Reserves on the battery fired 21 guns and dipped their flag when thfl Raleieh retur&f d the salute of 21 shots, Tne Raleigh still has on her war painty and we felt that had Captain Coghlan and. his men had on their fighting humor, , it would tiAAmtv for Charleston and her - i proteges. The writer soon toofc passage on a row boat, and landing on the Raleigh, found Captain Coghlan, and waa pleasantly received. By thfl wav. when asked i whether the - - - - rf - - , Raleigh had fired the first gun in the great battle, he said no. On passing into the bay a battery fired on the Raleigh and she returned the fire. In this she fired the first shot in the campaign on the Amer ican side, but not the first shot in j the battle of Manila. Perfect free dom was extended on the boat, save in the officers quarters, and the writer had the exquisite satisfaction of seeing how the modern naval gun is manipulated, especially the operation of breech-loading; also the operation of the torpedo. An officer was asked whether the walls of the Raleigh would resist such shots as it sends. He aswered not any more than a sheet of paper. The men on the ship took the keenest interest in visitors, and seemed to never tire at showing and answering questions. Capt. Cogh lan ancLj his officers are of course lionized here. The program of the Raleigh of coarse delayed the exercises of Me morial Day till afternoon. This waa brilliant in the march only . There was delay and worry in getting the procession in moving order. It too aoout three hours, to tne wearing r oat of strength and patience of the old "Vets." The formation was made along Meeting street and we passed up Hazel street, along King street, then down Calhoun street to .Meeting street and through Marion Square, where we passed between Gen. Gor don on the right and the statue of John C Calhoun on the left, then along King to Calhoun again to Rntlege to the auditorium, which Beats about 7,000 people. - w The grand old Gordon could here be heard probably all over the ms dense hall but no one , else. The occasion was literally crushed by its ponderous proportions. The gathering along the line was amazing and it is estimated that 50,000 people were to be seen on and along the street! today.
