On Monday last, the hon. Mr. Pope, of the Senate of the United States from Kentucky, visited Marblehead. He was received in the full strength of their ancient hospitality and accompanied through the town to the Fort. As no notice was given of his visit, he had an opportunity to be impressed with the true character of this patriotic town. From Capt. Rannie, at the Fort, he received the most respectable attention, and he had the pleasure to find a Fort, in the most commanding situation, in the best arrangements and under the best discipline. It is to be hoped that a fortification so well begun, will have the generous assistance of our government to render it complete. The citizens multiplied their invitations on this occasion, and afforded the rich pleasure of seeing the confidence of the town in the government of the United States expressed in every possible manner, to one whom they considered as a worthy member of it. Mr. Pope upon leaving the town, in very affectionate language left on their minds the sure memory of their worthy guest.
