Early in the ' day large concourse of people from the city and vicinity assembled in front of the Council Room, according to the order oi celebration previously given. At 10 o'clock this assembly repaired to the Presbyteyian Church, where an imposing prayer was offered by the Rev Mr Mitch- el. The declaration was read in good style by Mir. Charles E. McDougald. Dr. John i. Simmons, the Orator of the day, then followed and delivered a delightful ad- dress with much power and beauty. Ali ter these ceremonies had concluded, quite a number of persons repaired to the base ment of the Baptist Church, where 2 splendid dinner, prepared by the Ladies ol the city, was spread.

Everything and everybody was on tip-toe to know what it meant. Some ot these s trange looking objects taking to horse back, and some would vanish like phan- tom from the astonishing gaze of the spec tators and nothing more could be seen.-- The secret was soon out. It became to be known that these strange looking creat- lures were of that ancient and vener able Order which was founded many years be- fore the birth of Christ, by that old patriot and republican, RUSTENBERGER, known as the fratcrnal brotherhood of G. C. Ills.
 In the evening the ladies of the city held fair in the unfinished room of the Baptist Church. We were not present but learn from friend who is a judge ol such matters, that it was just about as genteel an ai-fdiy as he ever witnessed Everything was properly arranged, and with that characteristic neatness for which the ladies of Wetumpka are so deserved ly celebrated. We hope that the enter- prising ladies were liberally remunerated for their trouble in promoting so good an object.

The table is worth preserving. It shows that the whole whig party in all the Northern and Western States did not furnish one single vote to defeat the en- grating of the anti-slavery restriction up- on the treaty--that the Northern demo- crats furnished TWELVE votes against the restriction, and that of LEWIS CAss among them-which is three votes more than the whigs of the whole South, could raise for their own defence, and that the Southern deserters 10 inc enemy, nearly equal in number the whole force of the democrats arrayed on that side.
