[From the Salem Register. ] THE PEABODY OVATION IN DANVERS. The return of George Peabody to his native town, which he has blessed so abundantly by his noble benefactions, was celebrated on Thursday last, in a manner which made it one of the most remarkable events of the age. The whole people came out to do honor to a privcite citizen, and paid a tribute to simple manly worth, which the greatest of sovereigns and conquerors might envy. The day was one of the brightest and most genial of that lov...eliest of seasons designated as the Indian Summer, and the old town of Danvers (we recognize here none of the recent legislative distinctions) never wore a gayer or more charming aspect. From 20, 000 to 30, 000 persons, strangers and citi- zens, thronged the streets to witness the pageant, which, from first to last, was a splendid success. We have devoted nearly our whole pa- 126 per to the addresses delivered on the occasion, at the formal Reception and at the Banquet, and therefore have little space to bestow upon other great features of the occasion, which it is impossible for us to notice in detail.
