The celebration Of the Fourth.

The Fourth Of July celebration was, as we
one Of the most numerousiy at
tended and best celebrations Of the Anniver-
sary Of the Declaration of our National Inde-
pendsnce we have ever Witnessed in this
place. Tuesday morning last was usheEed
in with the ringing Of bells, firing Of small
arms, and salute of thirteen rounds from
"La6ae's Cabin Piece" fred BY the artillery
squad appointed for the day under the COM
mand Of Captain A. H. Morton. At half
past seven o'clock the Manchester Fusileers
paraded under the command Of Lieutenant
p. O'Donnell. The company was stronger
in numbers than we have seen it for some
time past, and made a very handsome appear
ance. At 10 O'Clock the procession was
formed in front Of the Market House, under
the superintendence Of Mr.. N. O'Rielly,
Marshal of the day, and the gentlemen who
were appointed assistant marshals. 1t then
moved down Main to Bayou street. up Ba-
you TO Mound street, and up Mound to the
Methodist Church, where the ceremonies
were commenced by an exceedingly aPpro-
pirate prayer being offered to the throne
of God by the Rev. R. McInnis. The Decla'
ration of independence having been read ia
clear and fcrcible manner by George B.
Wilkinson, Esq.,-the Orator of the day, Dr.
J. w. Barnett, delivered an excellent ad
dress which was listened to by his numerous
auditory with all the attention that public
speaker could possibly desire, and which th'
beauty of the Grafton so we'll merited. Th'
Declaration Of Independence and the ORATOR
drew orIhrapturous applause. The duties
at the church having been concluded il

spot of ground selected by the committee o

1t is certainly somewhat amusing 10 see

nevertheless it is forced TO admit, that under

learn from its own price current. that this
nerer was tine case while Free Trade was
practically the policy of The land, Foreign
ers then sold their manufactured goods far
cheaper Than any of our manufacturers
could possibly do; our markets were food
ed with their goods--the balance of trade
was ruInously against us, and the only way
which the Free Traders saw whereby we
might hope to compete with them on tny-
thing like equal terms, was, BY the intro.
duction of a metallic currency 10 advance
the wages of labor TO a metallic standard.
A Tariff for Protection, they declared would
be certain ruin. The price Of the article

the amount Of the duty; this was the key.

ciple which none Of them ever dreamed of

But Congress ven,ured TO think differ

THE COMET STRUCK THE SUM-

Such is the startling report. We find in
the U. s. Gazette of this morning another
communication from the indefatigable as.
tronomers the Phila. Observatory, Mess
rs Walker, Kendall and Downs,) contain
ing the result Of their further researches,
which concludes that the late Comet did,
on the 9th Of February last, strike the Sun
and rebound! If these calculations prove
correct, this must be considered the most
remarkable circumstance in the annals of
astronomy. We have time and room only
for the concluding passages of their COM
munication.
Enckc's comet is gradually winding itself
up, and must some time or other experience
the fate of this comet of ls43. That is to
say it must actually come in contact with
the atmosphere or permanent portions OF the
body Of the sun. 1t has already been mat
ter OF speculation with astronomers when
this event shall occur however remote,
what will be the fate of the comet !-Will
it Join the mass of the SUM drop in an
ocean-or will it rebound and glance off in
another orbit, an hyperbola for instance,and
never return Nov that which is destin.
ed some day to be the fate of Encke's CON-
ct seems actually to have occurred with the
recent comet.
1t appears 10 have come in contact with
the permanent portion of the atmosphere
of the sun, and to have been so much resis-
ted in its course as to pass off in path
which, prolonged backwards, enters the sun.
1t may have been before paraboa or ali
elipse, and it may have been the comet of
1868 or both, and in this case something
like shock. or rebound, must have occur
red at this perihelion passage, which has
changed the orbit into hyperboIa passing
thro' the sun.
Whenever shock of two bodies takes
place of which one is considered as fixed,
the subsequent path of the other prolonged
backwards, passes through the first. We
repeat it that we offer these views of the
subject as suggestions merely, and hope
that others will be more fortunate in arri>
wing at positive certainty. The pertur>
baton have not been computed. 1t is hardly
possible that they can have produced this
alteration of the orbit. If such an altera-
ton has actually taken place, the power

THE WOODSTOCK POSTMASTER

As that pink of modesty the Editor Of
the Age, seems disposed to say little OF
nothing of the hattering token of regard
which he has received from John Tyler, it
becomes us to announce to the world that
this gentleman has been installed post
master at Woodstock in the place Of Mr.
Eaton, year or two since appointed BY
honest John Tyler himself, and removed
without the least notice of any grounds Of
dissatisfaction. Mr.. E. was a popular
postmaster, and so far from doing anything
obnoxious to the administration, Ike CHI
er officials by command from Washington,
he had acted as agent to procure subscrI-
bers for that wretched concern the Madl-
sonian, and even submitted to advertise his
letters in the Age. But Ehue, this wocld
not do. John Tyler must have IIercu-
les who wonld put strong shoulder to the
wheel, and drive the car of the admins

can do better. We have not vet been ap-
priced whether the party whose organ he
has been for several years past, will contn-
ne him in place, and follow his lead, or
will cast him to the moles and bats Is they
have done Winslow at Burlington. East
man seems evidently in fright about it,
as in his last weeks paper he besecches
the Burlington locos to keep cool, and wait
and see whether Winslow eyinces the least
shadow of turning. But prithee,-play
shy Mr.. Eastman-meditate no unseason-
able treachery to your patron. You must
fulfil your side of the bargain and make
your paper go off for John Tyler. You
must put ON the collar in earnest, and bow
WOW Justify, or your decaPitation will be
as sudden and unexpected as was that Of
your innocent predecessor. But now CONES
the rub To be bound to exhibit himself
