ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF ROCE
SPRING TENT. No, 1870, / o. OF R.

Mr.. ED1ToR-'i was my privilege TO be
present and participate in the celebration OF
the second anniversary OF Rock Spring Tent
of the 0 of R., on Wednesday, the 18th IN
slant, and was go we'll pleased with the pro-
ceeaings, that have come TO the conclusion
that | would, with your consent. give your
readers some kind of an idea OF the perform
ances on the occasion.
The members of both OF the Tents IN tins
place, in connection with the Encampment of
the same Order, met at their room on Market
Street. and formed a procession at 10 O'Clock
A. Nj. The procession, (hea4ei by fine
hand of music.) after passing through various
Streets, proceeded to he Methodist Episcopal
Church, whore quite large number OF ladies'
and gentlemen had preceded It. The exercises
were commenced with Prayer by the Rev. A.
NJ. Chrietzherg: beautiful Temperance Hymn
was then sung by the members OF the Order {:
after which Rev. A: P Repiton read chapter
in the Bible the brethren then sung an ap-
pronriate Rechahite ode; when MIR. William
r. Utlev. member of Rock Spring Tent, rose
and addressed the assembIage. He entered
briefly into history OF the Order, showing
where il originated, and HE trials 10 which lts
early members had heen subjected. He then
repeated some of the objections mIde against
the Order, particularly that of its beng Sc.
cret Order. He alluded topersons withhold.
ing their influence from the Temperance cause
Ter the contest waged by the cold wafer hov'
against that demon of destruction-A'cohol
Ridicued the idea of mans being tempe
rate drinker, and urged that class Of our citi
zens at once 10 give up the fatal glass, anf
take a firm and decided stand against King AL
cohol and his myrmidons. He then showed
the benefits of an association like the 1ndepen
dent Order of Rechahites the vast amount o
good that il had accomplished, and was daily
accomplishing and entreated every friend o
his country to lend a helping hand. He woun'
up his address by paying beautiful and de
served compliment 10 the ladies', assuring then
that they possessed vast Influence over tn
'' lords of creation )" and urged them to exer
else it, by exerting themselves in the Temper
ance movement .-....
The address was reP!e'e with choice senti
ment and sound argument, and reflected cred
upon the young orator, who, az he told hi
audience, appeared before them with re'uc
lance. and only because he believed il to be hi
duty 10 shrink from no task imposed upon hir
by his brethren
After the address and tbs other exercises a
the Church hal been completed, the proceasio
reformed, and after vending its way throug
various streets, returned to Rechahite Hail.
Thus ended the celebration OF the Annversar
of Rock Spring Tent, of the Independent Or
der of Rechahites, a day long TO be remember
ed in the hearts of many fond wife, mothe
and sister, who looked with pride upon an al
fectionate husband, son, or brother, whor
they saw in the procession, with the badge {
Temperance around the n. YORICk.

THE LEGISLATURE.
NOT ORGANIZED.

The members of the Legislature OF this
State assembled in Raleigh on Monday last
Both Houses were engaged all of Monday and
Tuesday in baIo;ing for Speakers, without
being able TO elect; consequently neither
House had, at latest dates, organized. The
following letter, received by yesterday morn
ing's rail, is, we believe, the latest Inteiii'
gen,e from Raleigh. 1t will be seen that the
responsibility of the delay OF the public bust

have shown every disposition to compromise
and the Federalists have refused TO accede tc
their propositions. But we will not detair

Minister Baron Won Amin dated Berlin, April 20 states
that not one the promises made the inhabitants OF
the Grand Duchy Of POsen has been fulfilled and pro
tests against the proposed reorganization OF the Duchy
A. n partition of Poland. IN conclusion he says
entertain profound conviction thai the true policy OF
the Pssan Government requires that those unhappy COM
pcafions should be rcnedied speedily possible and
That union and confidence should be eega5hed between
Of Germany and regeueraied Poland Poland
should be compelled TO seek that union and confidence
elsewhere. Il must not be forgotten that Germany, the
day when she pronounced her resolution To be Free and
become powerful nation felt the instant necessity
OF repudiatng the crime formerly committed by her two
principal representatives. and Of constructing her Eastern
fTonters barrier necessary for her own security

ment will perceive that ought without farther delay,
adopt ese views and reduce them to practice It's interests
