Citizens and Strangers
The procession moved amid the tolling Of be lis
and the firing of cannon, to grove at the west
end ofthe town where stage had been erected
After prayer by the Rev. Mr.. M'NeiIl very
able and eloquent address was delivered by the
Rev Norval Wilson, and the ceremonies clio.
sed by prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Rcbaugh. The
exercises were interspersed by several appfo-
pirate anthems by the choirs of the differen
churches. After the conclusion of the ceremo
MES at the grave the procession was again form
ed, returned TO town and was dismissed.
As the weather was extremely hot and on
presslye, the patriotic spirit which collected 8
crowd so immense demands the more praise and
admiration.
We cannot conclude this notice without word
to the military. The new company of Rifemer
under the command of Major Hsmtranck with
their handsome suits of Lincoln green and
towering black plumes, reflected great credit
upon themselves and their commander. The
Williamsport & Boonsborough Rifemen COM
manded by Captains Allen and Davis spoke ad-
mirably well for the military spirit of Washing
ton County, and the appearance and discipline Of
the Darkesville Light Infantry under Csc
Boak, assured us that Berkeley was not MAJ

In the evening the volunteer companies were
escorted out of town in handsome style by Capt.

Jackson Raeors.-A Mr.. Samuel Pooley took
1t into his head last Winter, to present a case OF

respondence took place between the donor and
the donee, all about the ''defencc ard prcserva-
ton of our liberal and glorious constitution
"equal rights" equal justice" &c to high and
low, rich and poor. The reply of the General
was in the true Roman style. 1t did not propose
as in the affair of the boots TO hang them up ''as
zors) 81 pray you to accept this expression Of
my thanks, with the assurance that ! appreciate
justly the republican sentiments upon which you,
(Mr. Samuel j. Pooley) have placed your esti-
mate OF my administration of the government
which is as much as to say, that the General
thinks Mr.. Pooley very clever fellow, for ap-
proving of "my" administration Mr.. Pooley
publishes the correspondence in the New York
Times, with an Introductory note, in which he
says "ln Justice to the chief magistrate Of our
country faithful and fair prototype Of the illus
trious, wise and good Thomas Jefferson, and my
own sense Of right, you will please to publish,

rather an undressing matter. We have
plenty Of it already, and with the certain

1Ae Eiect,on.--Some have enquired of us
whether we intended to publish any eiectioneer-
Ing matter previous to the election, either in the
paper or otherwise To this we answer that
having taken no active part IN the matter our
selves nor published aught for Others affecting
the election. nothing will be issued from this
press, more than a goodly number of tickets,
which we VIII cheeffully furnish to order, with
the hope that they may be Iudiciously placed in
the ballot box. We had intended to publish the
Circulars the candidates for Governor, but
their length and the absence of excitement in
this part OF the state on that contest determined
us to decline beng instrumental IN arousing pub
lie feeling for or against candidates whose char
acters are so well known. We shall vote az our
Judgment dictates and trust every freeman viii
do the same.

IMMIGRATION FROM THE sOUTH.-We

ton, who has travelled through the coun-
ties south and southwest Of this. that they
are now receiving from the south, inmi-
grants in such numbers as to leave no
doubt Of their being Immediately filled
up with an industrious population. A
sale of lots at one of the county seats re-
Gently laid out, brought twelve thousand
dollars, and eight thousand dollars were
received from sale Of lots In another
town in the same region, not a county
seat, nor possessing any great natural adj
vantages. We also learn that a steam
boat is about TO be built to ply from the
head of the rapids up the Augiaize, and
that another will probably be built at De
fiance to run from the head of the rapids
to For. Wayne. We hope, If it should
be determined by our commissioners to
build little canal by the side OF the Mi
ami above the rapids. that no obstacle will
be put to the navigation by steam, Of that
noble river.-Miami Of the Lake.
