was crowded to overhowing, by re-
spectacle and intelligent auditory. The
services commenced by solemn and ap-
propriate prayer BY the venerable Doct
Patten, who thirty years ago in this town,
delivered an able eulogy on the death of
the illustrious WAsHlNGToS. The Fare
well Address of WASHINGTON was then
read in dignilicd and impressive man
ner by Mr.. Thomas Hunter, son of the
orator of the day. The Hon. William
Hunter then pronounced a very able
and highly =. "gcsting Grafton, which oc-
cupied upwards of an hour in its dclive-
ry. From our incompetcncy, and from
other reasons which it is not necessary
nov to name, we do not feel willing to
trust ourselves to speak of this production
at large, lest in so doing we should do in
Justice to the orator.-We will, however,
take the liberty of saying, and We say it
with great pleasure, that the oration was
all that the public had right to expect
from that distinguished scholar and ora
tort was listened to throughout with
marked attention, and received with un-
measured applause-and by no one with
a warmer zeal, or more honest and friend
ly feelings, than by our humble selves.
Yet we owe it to the occasion to say ,and
we say it in sobcrness and truth, ,and with
the kindest intentions and feelings, that
there fell from the lips of the orator few
expressions, which taken in connection
with the occasion itself, and the manner
in which they were uttered, we shall re-
member with no other feelings than those
of unmingled sorrow and rcgrct.-We
sincerely hope, however, that our con-
struction Of the language we alludc to, is
erroneous; we refer particularly to that
part of the Grafton in which the orator
spoke of the military character of WASH
INGToN, wherein he observed that, che
should venture to dwell upon his military
qualifications, even in these days of over
squean,ishncss, and affected delicacy, upon
the subject ofmii;iay fame" sc. The
choir under the direction of Col. Marsh,
sung several odcs prepared for the occa-
sion, in style of finished and perfect
harmony. The services were concluded
by jealous and ardent prayer by the
Rev. Mr.. Choulcs. AT noon a salute
of one hundred guns was fired by the
Artillery company lin Washington square,
and another at sunset itwenty guns.
The Chief Marshal of the day, in the
prompt and effective discharge of the du-
ties of his appointment, gave great salts
faction to all our citizens. Throughout
the day, the national flag was displayed
in various part of the town-on board all
the shipping in the harbor, and at the
forts.
From the arrangements which have
been announced throughout almost the
whole country, this day, we have every
reason to believe, was celebrated in a
manner becoming a nation Of freemcn-
nation favored by heaven above all
other nations Of the earth. The day was
one, in the celebration of which, every
man of whatever "nation, kindred, or
tongue" or of whatever party might par
ticipatc with warm and honest zeal.

 7reatyzvitathe tSenuaotcs. .--The treaty concluded by Col. Gadsden with the Seminole Indians, on the 9th ult., at Payne's Landing, provides for the re- 1 lhnquishment by that tribe of all their lands in Florida 10 the United States. and their removal West of the NIissis- sippi.
 Preparatory to the execution of this compact, on the part ofthe Indians, the country west of the river, is to be ex, ploredby confidential Chiefs Of fthefribe. accompanied by the us. Agent: and the assent of the Greeks obtained, to the union withthem of the Seminoles, and their admission to all privileges, as constituent members of that nation.
 In the event of satisfactory result from these measures. apart of the Sem Ilneles will remove within the year 1883. and the remainderofthefo following years. 1891 and 1885.
 The United States, on their part. agree to pay the Seminoles, fifteen thousand, four hundred dollars, for tho Indian right of occupancy, and for the improvements abandoned; and an an nuity of three thousand dollars a year for fifteen years, in addition to the an nuities stipulated for in the treaty at Camp MouItre. the payment to com mence after the removal of the whole tribe. These several annuities are to be added 10 those already granted to the Greeks, and the amount of the whole to be equitably divided among both Tribes, as members of one con l federation.
 h addition to these sums, tho United States fartheragree toappropriateseyen thousand dollars, to satisfy such claims for negroes and other property, alleged 10 have been stolen or destroyed by the Seminoles, as shall appear to be justly due. To take the cattle belonging to i the tribe, att fair valuation, to be re- 1 placed with others of equal value, after their removal, CT paid for in money, at the option ofthe owners. To defray all the expenses of removal, to supply pro visions for twelve months. after the ar rival of the Indiansat their new. abodes. and 10 furnish eachmember of the tribe with a blanket and hornespun frock. If the arrangement, thus happily ens cred upon, should he completed, Of ' hich there can be little doubt, so fat' l IS the two Indian tribes are concerned. ] the Seminoles wlll he placed beyond
