OTLieut. BEALE, the young officer so honorably
mentioned in Benton's great speech on California af-
fairs, left Washington on the 9th of June as bearer
of dispatches to California. The Washington cor
respondent of the N. Y. Jour. of Com. guesses that
he carries out Col. ]. B.. Weller's recall as boundary
line commissioner, and the appointment Of Col. Free
mont in his stead. Also. that he certainly carries
dispatches which tend to encourage and promote the
adoption of a State Constitution and on early appli-
cation for admission into the Union.
This would be the very best appointment that could
possibly be made, but we think it doubtful whether it
would accord with Fremont's present views and feel
ings. The bad treatment received by Col. f. in the
matter of the Governorship of California two years
ago, and the infamous prosecution that was suffered
to proceed against him by certain officers who, in
stead Of being permitted to retain honorable U. S.
commissions In the Army and Navy, should have
been hung to the nearest tree, sill be remembered by
our readers. We mistake the people Of California if
it be not their fixed and unalterable purpose to make
Fremont their first Governor under the State Consti-
tuition, as they ought to do, in justice to themselves
and to him.

6-The various celebrations in honor of the 4th,
in this city. passed off with great ~propriety and good
feeling, SO far as we know. The day was very au-
spicious, neither too warm nor too cool. The Sab
bath School celebration, the great sffair of the day,
came off in the beautiful grove in front of the STATE
House, and was very numerously attended, there be-
ing in the procession we should Judge, about twelve
to fifteen hundred of the best looking sabbath-school
children TO be found anywhere this side of Paradise.
They were attended of course by their teachers, and
most of the schools bearing banners, containing ap-
p%ropriate inscriptions, &c. The p%ropriety and deco
rum observed ty the children both in procession and
on the ground, is worthy of special note. The exer-
cises on tho ground swere ola varied and pleasing
character. First, SOM very appropriate words to
the stirring music of the missionary Hymn" which
was followed by the reading of the Declaration of In
dependence by DOUGLASS MAGUIRE, Jr, q lad be-
longing to the First Presbyterian School. Then came
the Address TO the children by the Rev. Mr.. CREssEY,
Of the Baptist school, after which the Refreshments
prepared for the children were distributed. When
this was through with, nHd another song, and the
Benediction pronounced, the children were marched
back to their various churches and dismissed.
In the afternoon, the Sons and Cadets of Temper
nnce had a banner presentation. &C.. in the same
place. We were not present, but learn that a BAN
ner was presented to the Cadets by Mrs. BsssETT, on
behalf of the Daughters Of Temperance, and receiv-
ed by WILLIAM BLAKE, on behalf of the Cadets.
After this, buggy-riding appeared to be the order
of the day. If every body and his wife didn't get a
ride il was because there was not horses and bug
gies enough in town to accommodate them.
After night-fall the boys amused themselves with
g~unpowder and re-works. All of which, we are
happy to learn, passed off without accident of any
sort.

CANADIAN ANNExATIoN.-'A number of articles
have appeared in the Montreal Courier giving an ac-
count of the condition and prospects of CaEada. In
the last, the Constitution of the United States is the
subject of examination, and its provisions in relation
to State governments are published. The writer
thinks that the Canadas, with slight alterations in
their constitutions, might be admitted into the Union
as States. The transition might be made without any
great organic changes calculated TO shock the feelings
or unsettle the minds of men. As the consequence
of this admission, the public mind would subside into
a settled state. All men would feel that Canada had
token her place among nations; the virulence and
bitterness Of psrty feeling would be forgotten; and a
feeling of national pride would be fostered that would
direct the energies of the people and lead to the sue
cessful prosecution of numerous public enterprises.
We find that some of the leading journals of Eng
land IRE as much in favor of the annexation as the
Canadians are themselves. There is an important
party in England in favor of dissolving the connection
with the British North American provinces. The
London Examiner, a Wing paper of considerable in
nuence. has an article directly in favor Of the annex
alton of Canada 10 the United States, and the editor
says-"We hesitate not to say that If we and the
North American Colonies can part in peace and
friendship, the departure would undoubtedly be gain
10 both parties, but more especially to ourselves
And the Times says. annexation is an idea of growing
familiarity."-Pa Ledger.

The FALsEHooD AcKNowIEDGED.-The Republic
the real organ, par excellence, of this pretended no.
party President-come out boldly and claims Gen.
Taylor as the wing President, and says, in plain
terms, that all he said in his letters and his inaugu-
raj about honesty, fidelity. aud ca pacity, was idle, RI
diculous gammon--palpably absurd and talse-,hat he
has put out the incumbents OF Office for opinions sake,
and that he will continue TO do so. Thus, at the very
outset, does the new organ stamp upon Gen. Taylor
the burning brand of falsehood and hypocrisy, and
consign him to the merited scorn and contemp, of
every honest man. What will the wing press say
now to removals for cause! Will they, after this,
dare to blacken with their foul insinuaiions the char
acters of their predetermined victims! If so, we

THE COMMUNISTS AT NAuvoo.--M. Ca
bet, the leader Of the French Communists,
or 'Icarlans" who have lately settled at
Nauvoo, has published letter, setting forth
their intentions in making the purchase thew
have done at Nauvoo. Of the Temple he
says, "we shall maintain its present form
and surround the roof by terrace from
which will be seen one ofthe finest views in
the world; and in the building we can have
our retectory with kitchens for 1000 per-
sons: with room for each family. A hand
some garden and prominado will occupy
the TOUR acres ofground which surround the
Temple ~ - ,''
He says of their system, tour morlitv is
pure founded on marriage and domestic
ties. Our religion is Christianity in its
primitive form, and resumed on the princi-
Pile, "Love thy neighbor as thvselt.'
Oftheir relations to other men, he saws.
1--WE are dete rmined not to interfere in anv
manner with any Of the questions which d.
vide the public mind in America. While
we desire the welfare of our native country,
we desire also that of our new country,
which will receive US kindly: and if saw
to our brethren come! many, very great
number, will certainly be disposed to an
swer my call"
From the representations made, should
they be, and remain true, we cannot hesi-
tate to believe, that these communists will
be far better class ofpeople than their pre-
decessors at Nauvco, the Mornons.
