Celebration of 81. Johns Dnu-T]

Celebration of st. John's Day.-The
Ancient Free Masons of this District,
celebrated the 24th instant, at this place,
IN memory of their Patron, Saint JOHN,
the Evangelist. A procession was
formed at the Masonic Hall at 1 o'clock.
A. NJ, and marched to the Methodist
Church, under command of Brother Jos.
A. HAMILTON, Marshal of the Day,
where, after prayer by the Rev GEO.
Moore, and the singing of an Ode, we
were entertained by very able and elo-
quent address by Brother MAT. J. VIII
L1AMs; from thence the procession
moved to the residence of the Rev. JAS.
MOORE, and there partook of sumptu-
Gus dinner prepared for the occasion.
Numbers were in attendance, and har.
mony seemed to rule the day. 1t is,
perhaps, unnecessary that we should
make any very extended remarks upon
tho address referred to, as it is to be
published; but we wish it could have
been heard by those opposed to Mason
ry. For its style, however, and appro-
priateness, and the eloquence with
which it was delivered, we consider it,
and all whose opinions are known to US
in regard to it-and they are not few

upon him, subject for ribald jest or a
heartless censure; but better men will
have better thoughts, and will see in the
tottering columns Of that crumbling
temple Of patriotism honor, whose alter
burns purely and brightly to the last a
theme for reverence and admiration
Were it possible, we would hope that
the old hero might never know that the
country of his love grew younger, as he
grew older, and that her heart
ceased to beat quickly and fast when
his victories were named. He would
die Of the thought. His retirement
seems to be inevitable it should be an

~ We are gratified to learn that
the McDuffie Guards were inspected by
Col. TILmAN, on Monday last, seventy
two men were present including officers,
several of the volunteers being unavoid-
ably absent from sickness. We have
no doubt however that the ranks will be
filled up when orders are received for
them to take up the line of march. An
election for field officers took place, and
Ex-Governor Butler received the unani.
nous vote of the Company for Colonel,
Capt. J. F. MARSHALL, for Major, and
Capt. T. w. CAN'T, majority for 1t.

GENERAL GAINS.

1t is impossible to read the letter of
this time-worn veteran to the War De-
partment without coming, however re-
luctantly, to the conclusion, that the
measures of his service, is to the last
drop, full. 1t is to be regretted that cir
cumstances rendered the publication of
the evidence of this fact necessary. To
use his own phrase, he has no grey
hairs, save those that have whitened in
the service OF his country. He should
be regarded and treated with the vene-
ration that is due to the past; for the
crumbling ruins of the patriot who has
won the triumphs of the country, who
has served her long and with Jealous de-
votlon and unspotted honor, should be
sacred. No good can result from courts
to enquire into the patriotic errors of
his infirmity-for the latest Though the
chill has reached his head, it has not
touched his hearty he has had but one
wish-to offer his aged bosom once more
in defence of his country. The idle and
minimizing may discover IN the infrmi-
ties which age, and toll and hardships

Of scientific men for ages, has at last, al

Professor OF Mathematics in Vienna. 1t
is an Automalon Fl CURE of a man so con-
structed, that, by the use of sixteen keys,
similar to those of the Organ or Piano,
it can be made to articulate words
perfectly IN the English, French, Spa

luting its friends with "good evening"
or morning, giving the most precise en-
phasis, intonations and accents in what
ever language it speaks. The til so diff:
ficult to the Frenchman to sound, thrills
harmoniously from the automaton, and
its powers of vocaiism are equal to those
of the first living artists. While spea-
king, or singing, the breath issues from
its mouth and nostrils like that of hu.
man being. M. Fober ha. brought this
wonderful man-machine to America,

Celebration of the 4tA Of July.-We
presume it is generally understood
among our friends in the country that a
dinner will be given at this place on
Saturday next And as rumor has
gone into the country that none have
the privilege of attending but those in
vited, we take this occasion to say it is
false, and that all will be welcome who
may feel disposed to attend. The Com,
mite are making ample preparations for
large company. Col. T1LMAN has
been appointed orator of the day.
- The following capital pun was
handed US a few days since by one ol
our villagers, which was written i'm
promptu upon the occasion -
Right and Le0-On seeing John
Wright who had lost his right hand
writing with his left.
On Wright although thy right hath left
thee,
Right we'll thou dost write with the left
that's left thee.
From the Army-We have nothing
still of very great importance from the
army. Reynoso had been taken by
Col. WILSON without opposition, and
Camargo, it was thought would be also
taken without resistance, as deputa,ion
had been sent by the inhabitants to Gen
TAYLOR to capitulate. A depot for pro.
visions for the army will be made at this
place. PAREDEs was anxious to take
command of the army, which, in such
event, would consist of about 10000
men. 1t is also reported that AR1srA
had been ordered to the capitol to an.
swer charges preferred against him.
Foreign Neaos.-Upon the first page
of this weeks paper will be found cx-
tracts of foreign news brought out by
the Caledonia, which is five days later
than that of the Great Western, the
most important item in it is, that Eng
land has offered to mediate between the
United States and Mexico, if such be
the fact we have no doubt that hostilities
will soon be at All end between this
country and Mexico. 1t is also stated
that England has given Mexico to un-
ders:and that she need not look to her
for assistance. Another equally impor
tant item is, that France has directed
an increase of her naval force in the
Gulf of Mexico in consequence of the
existance of the war, the object of this
movement of course is not know except
to herself.

though the secrecy Of injunction has not
yet been removed from the Senate,
enough is certainly known with regard
to the Oregon Treaty, 10 enable us to
say that it has been ratified in that body
by vote Of al to Id, and that it has

the 10th parallel with the whole of Van

lish, as we'll as the navigation of the
Columbia river until the expiration of
