Saline Lodge, No 25, of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, was instituted at
Cambridge, Saline county. on Monday, the
18th inst. .
The institution took place in the MORN
ing, after which procession was formed,
and marched to beautiful grove, imme-
diately on the bank of the river, below the
town, where an address on the subject of
Odd Fellowship was delivered by Rev. F.
A. SAVAGE of Glasgow. The address was
an able exposition of the objects and aims
of the Order, and was attentively listened
TO by large concourse of persons, both
male and female. q. .
The address over, and the procession dis.
missed, dinner came on, which was served
up in frst-rate barbecue style, and in the
greatest abundance, rejecting great credit
on the resident brethren and citizens who
prepared it. The situation was pleasant
the company agreeable--the music Furnish

WASHINGTON AND TAYLOR.

The Richmond Republican has called at
tention to the position taken by General
Washington, when invited to become a
candidate for President and that which
has been assumed by General Taylor, in
relation to the proposition of electing him
10 the same high office. 4. ..v
In reply 10 letter addressed to him,
Gen. Washington wrote: .1' iaai2a
"Should it become absolutely necessary for
me TO occupy the station in which your letter
presupposes me, / hare determined to go into it
perfectly free from all engagements of euery ma
ture whatsoever. A conduct in conformity 10
this resolution would enable me, in balancing
the various pretensions Of different candidates,
for appointments, to act Nth sole reference to
justice and the public good" ..f ..7 ..,,...
In the answer of the Senate to General
Washington's first address to Congress,
they say: ... ..,....,Z H..
"We are sensible, sir, that nothing but the
voice OF your fellow citizens could have called
you from retreat. chosen with the fondest
predictions. endeared by habit and consecrated
10 the repose Of declining years. We rejoice,
and with US all America, that in obedience to
the call OF our common country, you have re.
turned once more 10 public life. In you, all
parties confde; in you, all interests unite"
In his letter published in the Troy Post,
Gen. Taylor says: d.,
"The Presidential Office presents no induce.
ments to me 10 seek its honors or responsibilities
the tranquility Of private lie, on the contrary
is the great object Of my aspirations on the con.
clusion OF the war-bu. am not insensble 10
the persuasions that my services are yet due to the
country. as tho country shall see fit to com.
mend them; If still as soldier. an, satisfied. if
in higher, and more responsible duties, desire
not to oppose the manifest wish Of the people
but | will not be the candidate Of any party or
clique, and should the Nation at large seek to
place me in the chair Of the chief magistracy,
the good Of all parties and the national good
would be my great and absorbing aim" r
The position here assumed by Gen. Tay-
lor is identical with that taken by Gen.
Washington; and needs no other sanction
than that of the Father of his Country
to vindicate its propriety. .sa .s.et,s. -

CHAPLAINS IN THE ARMY.

Hon. Peter A. Brown, of Philadelphia,
lately addressed the following letter to
Rev. w. L. McCalla, brother of Hon. j.
NJ. McCalla, late of Lexington, KY, and
now of Washington.
"DEAR Sir: earnestly but respectfully re-.
quest you 10 answer truly. canddly, and fully
the following questions. -.
"lst, Were you not recently an applicant for
the situation of chaplain in tho American army

Excellency James X. Polk on that subject?
''3d. Did the President tell you that when he
appointed two Catholic priests chaplains, he

but that he had appointed them chaplains aomi,

To these questions Mr.. McCaTa returned

Dismssing the subject Of internal improve.
ments Of national character, from further con.
sderation at the present, the writer proposes
to call the attention Of his fellow. citizens to
those classes of Internal Improvements which he
supposes ought to be made by the State, or BY
the people OF the State, or by combined effort
Of the State and people; because he believes these
to be subjects of the highest interest to all, and
in this, and some future numbers, he proposes
to call them to public notice, in the hopes that
some better informed and ADLER writer, may be
aroused to discuss and enforce the proprety Of
these Improvements on all our fellow citizens
during the elections Of ls4s, and when once
such subject is fully considered, the writer
has no fears Of the result, the people will really
wonder why they have allowed these important,
interests SO long 10 slumber in their very midst.

that he has everything his own way. Dicla.

have been received stating the death and SUP.
posed robbery and murder Of Mr. 1arrent S;b-
ley, Of Petersham. Mr. sibley, who was a res
pectaole farmer of some property in Petersham,
started on journey to Michigan with his wife a
few weeks since. AT Buffalo they took passaee
on board steamboat, when Mr. s. stepped on
shore for moment The boat left the pier with
ms wife on board. The next day, MIR S. secured
passage on board another boat In the night a
cry was heard" | am robbed and murlcrcd"--
followed by the plunge of a body overheard.
Our own impression is that Mr. Sibley commit
ted suicide, and this is confirmed by the state
ment that he was subject to slight alienation Of
mind, and feared robbery. MIR s. was about 55
years Of age, worthy man, void of offence.

SOUTHERN MArLs.-Thc New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company refuses to carry the
New York mails, because the Postmaster Gene
raj will not pay steamboat line from New York
TO New Haven, in which the Company is inter
ested, $4,000 ayear. This refusal, on the grounds
assigned, Is an outrage upon the community, and
utterly indefensible. We arc no admirers Of the
official conduct of the Postmaster General. but
we hope he will not yield to this insolent dicta-
tion Of railroad monopoly, which thus wanionly
iramples upon the rights and convenience of the
public The corrective power exists with tho
State that granted the charter, and we hope to
see il applied.
