BY CALEB CUSHING, Esq.

OH sublime was The warning America gave
When she rose, on this morning, the free and
the brave,
Sent the blaze of her standard to flash on the
eve,
And the r-cry of freemen to clash in her
And pealed the loud anthem, at Victory's
hest,
To the Queen of the Main and the Pride Of
the West.
Then her rinion young Freedom expanded in
flight
The dominion was hers, and the might aud
the right
She flew forth afar from La Plata to Greece,
With the red shaft OF war and the Olive OF
peace
Oh ! peal the loud anthems in chorus again,
I 0 the Pride ofthe West and the Queen OF
the Main.
See the myriads, who band by the Andes, on
fire.
Lo, the children are grasping the brand of
the sire,
And Mexico's chiefs her old glories renew
Mid the SHOWS Of the thunder-ciapt peaks OF
Peru,
Hank, they peal the loud anthems in chorus
Il again,

the Main.
The Athenian has walked from his ages of
sloth
The Spartan hath slaked the wild thirst of his
Inthe Tartar's best blood, and avenged with
| his hand
Tie slaughter of Scio, the shame OF his land /:
Oh peal the loud anthems in chorus again,

the Main.
FP the crescent is waneing; no more shall it

AMI oh Liberty, meier may thy spirit have
Till it bear the glad tidings DER east and Ger

Oppressors and tyrants in triumph may smile ::
In lheir shameless alliance may trust for "a

But in vain Can they stop the wild waves
as they roll
Can they chain the unqucnchable fire of the
soul
Then peal the loud anthems IN chorus again,
To the Pride of the West and the Queen OF

Let the nations who glory in freedom, proclaim

"TnE Cry FESTIVAL. BY Without
meaning TO say aword against the "re-
speciality" of the numerous company
that dined at lVilliamson's hotel on the
9Th inst. it may not be improper, in or
der 10 prevent erroneous impressions
from being made abroad, to say that the
number of citizens Of Washington, who
were present, did not exceed tIcnty-
f0e or thirty: and that the Heads of De-
partments were not the only persons who
Withdrew their subscriptions, or refused
TO atteud,in consequence of the erclasion
made by the committee. But single
officer of the Government of any rank
or standing, was seen at the dinner nor
was this in obedience 10 the example
set them by Messrs. Adams, Calhoun,
and McLean--for their letter to the
committee did not appear until late in
the evening after the publication ofour
paper; and it is we'll known in The City
that the indignation expressed at the
committee, was almost universal, even
before breakfd IN tie morning, and OF
course before it could be know hat any
notice would be taken Of The publication
by the Heads of Departments.

Extraordinary hot qOeather.-The ex-
cessiye heat that has been experienced
in this town during the last six days, we
presume is altogether unparalleled in this
country. The mercury in an excellent
Fahrenheit thermometer, stood at three
o'clock P. M. exposed to the air in the
shade, on Saturday last at 900 on Sun
day at 94o; on Monday at 1889; on
Tuesday at 1882; on Wednesday at
1862; and on Thursday at 1000. Dur
ing all this period we have had no rain.
and the heat still continues to be distress
ingIy oppressive. Should this weather
continue, it would not be surprising if
the town of Cheraw should ere long be
found completely depopulated, the citi-
zens all having e0oporated by sudorifcs.

CONSISTENCY

Many persons who have read the just eulo-
GUM on the late editor of the Spy, in the last
Egis, and recolect the language held in the
same paper toward him while he iCaS editor OF
the Spy, wish for some explanation of the mat
ter, not knowing how to reconcile one with
the other.

BOSTON, July IL.
About two o'clock yesterday morning,
watchman discovered great light in
,soy!ston Market, and gave the alarm
of fire. On. bursting open the door. it
was found to proceed from a -four bar
rel, in which there were about thirty
pounds Of fat. 1t stood under the bench
on which The meat lies, and contained
no other combustible substance. The
barrel was So situated that it would
have been difficult for snuff of cam
die or spark of fire from any source
10 fall into it, and lift did, it seems to be
very improbable that itwould have been
able to ignite the fatty substances it con-
tanned. Besides, if the fire had origin
ated in this way, it is by no means prob
able that it would have remained con-
cealed from 1 o'clock P. M. the time
at which the Market House was closed,
and all the lights extinguished, till 2
A. M. when the fire was discovered.
The state of the atmosphere yesterday
was highly favorable to the dec6mposi-
ton OF animal substances the thermom-
cter stood at nearly so, and the air was
loaded with moisture.
1t is unquestionably true, that many
fires have arisen from spontaneous com
buston which have been attributed to
other causes, and thus false security
is produced, and the real source of dam
ger overlooked, and of course not guard
ed against.

Having heard many enquiries made respect
ing the long editorial article in the last Egis,
we cannot answer them better than by relat-
ing the following anecdote.
Packwood, barber of London, whose fame
at one time was almost equal to that of the
barber Of Bagdad, was much noted for the ex-
celiency of his razor strops, and mere so for
the pompous puts Of them in the papers of the
day. A gentleman called one day at his shop.
out of curiosity, and being disappointed in not
finding him at home, made some conversation
with his wife, in the course of which he en-
CURED how it was that person in her hus-
bands situation should write the articles which
appeared in the papers under his signature.

We owe an apology to the readers of the
Spy for devoting any portion of our paper,
however small, TO a subject which does not at
all interest them. But as the managers of the
Esis have been for long time trying to get
some mark of our notice, we were willing, out
OF abundant compassion toward them. to graft
fly them so far as TO shcw them that they are
not entirely disregayded.
The establishment of the Washington Re-
publican has been sold to Peter Force, ESQ.
proprietor OF the National Jcnrual, and both
papers are consolidated into one, which is now
the Official paper of the government. We had
intended publishing, this week, an abridged
view OF the circumstances which led TO the
transfer of the patronage of the government
from the lntelligencer, and of the controversy
to which it has given rise, but were unable
to prepare it in season. One important fact,
relative to it, is worthy of remark at this time.
The transfer, it appears, has been made with
the joint concurrence of the President and
all the acting members of his cabinet, who

ROGCES CAUGHT.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 81, 1924.


On the night OF the 10th inst. several arti
Giles of wearing apparel were stolen from the
yard of Paul Within, Esq. in Northbridge, and,
on the next morning, the tracks of naked feet
were discovered leading from the yard, and
were followed TO this place, where they were
lost, and no farther discovery was made at
that time. But subsequently having heard
that three negroes had been at Uxbridge on
the evening of the 10th, inquiring the way to
Worcester and Brook6eld, Col. Within was
induced to renew his pursuit on the 10Th. By
enquiry he found that three persons, answer
ing the description of those suspected, had
passed the Sabbath in this town, dressed ap-
parently in the very clothing taken in his yard,
and, that they had left the next morning on
their way westward, whittier he pursued and
took them in Leicester, with the property
which he he had lost in their possession. Sew
eral other articles, supposed 10 have been stol-
en-, were also found with them, as will be seen
by the advertisement in this paper.
1t has been reported that Sailor was
Knocked down and robbed by three blacks,
in smithdeld, last week. ESQ, it is not I'M
likely that the outrage was committed by the
persons who are now in custody.
A writer in the New York Statesman, un-
der the signature of "New York swamp" calls
in question the utility of Capt. Munroe's new
process of innins, which was noticed in the
Spy few weeks since. lie does not pretend
to any knowledge Of The process, and writes,
as il is to be supposed a man would, who is
entirely ignorant of what he writes about. Be.
cause other, methods of tanning quickly do not
make good plump leather, he takes it for
granted that this will not, and because in the
old method, that leather is best which is tam
ned three or four years, he argues that no
leather can be made good which is tanned in
a sh.rt time. But in this case as in most 9th
er' of similar kind, practice is better than
mere theory, and fact is better than declani-
alton. The leather manufactured by Can't.
process has besn proved in various
ways. Those who have worn it, give it the
credit " doing the best of service, and Of

CURIOUS DUEL,


Two Frenchmen had dispute some
time last week, when one of the parties
sent challenge 10 the other, who read
lily accepted. Small swords, pistols, with
caiihre big enough to carry an 1915 shot,
and powder in lots, of Ia premier quality,
rather .moreihan from fur to middling
was packed up, horses and gigs pro-
cured, the day appointed. one of the
party thinking New-Hampshire was the
place, and the other Rhode-L Island, each
took his road, and we haze not heard
one SINGLE report as yet; this misunder-
standing might be by mutual consent ;
when the challenge was given, they
'eispered so loud, that Wilson, the city
crler's voice, was that of humming
bird TO it. As they are travelling in an
opposite direction, they calculate upon
long shots. Mons. BANKUM.
