;,suAcieut refutation of such report.
For,7u OF JuLr IN WHEELlNo.-We doubt
vbetber more lively and general observance o
tbe anniversary of our Independence than that o
vonday, was ever witnessed in this city. Il
scanned a spontaneous tribute 10 the day, too. fol
rtb the exception ofthe arrangements of the Fen.
c1,LEs and our German fellow citizens, there was
no preconcerted movements made with refer
eoce to public celebration.
Atan early hour in the morning, the deep boom
ing Of the cannon announced the advent of the
3.y hailed with joy by millions of freemen. At s
o'clock The "Virginia State Fencibles'' met al
;bsir Armory, where beautiful National flag, the
generous gift of Col. JAMES S. WuEATE, was pre-
snted by that gentleman in brief and appropriate
speech, responded 10 in graceful manner, by
C,pt ALoSzo LcRING. who received the flag on
bshalf of the Company. The Fencibles then
made their first appearance in uniform on our
sEetts, and with band of 10 musicians, belong
ing 10 the Company besides full band OF martial
music, and with commendoble pride to appear
othe best advantage, we believe they won the
universal appreciation of our citizens, who were
disposed to make the proper allowances for the
imperfections of first parade. As the Fencibles
marched along Market street, they met an enthu-
siastic procession Of Cur German fellow citizens,
when the Company halted and paid the process
sion, as passed,t honor of the sautation of pre-
sent arms. On Main street two handsome Militia
accompanies, one from ST. Clairsville, the other
from Bridgeport, were met and received in q like
complimentary manner, and escorted through the
streets and back TO the Suspension Bridge. On
MarSet street, the FencibleS halted in front of the
Mcclure House, and saluted his Honor; Mayor
BRADY and the orator of the day, the Rev. Dr. J. .
D. McCABE. accompanied by Col. ]. S. WHEATE
and Col. B. F. KELLEY, and escorted them to the
Aeodeon Hall. Here the proceedings heretofore
announced took place, consisting of an opening
ode and the reading of the Declaration of Inde-
Pendence by Oliver I. Taylor, an grafton by the
Rev. Dr.. McCabe, and music by the band.
The Grafton by DR.. McCabe was universally adj
ml'ed TO surpasS even his usual fine efforts, and
eicted unbounded admiration, as its sound ma
ucnai views and truly Christian sentiments should
'nesancuon Of every American.
from tue Melodeon, the Fencibles repaired to
1. a. PARKER's Saloon, where that popular con.
uOntor to the demands of public taste had invited
Inc Company to psrtake of a collation. of refresh
ments' which proved as excellent in style and
qially as the generosity of the donor was COM
msndable. The celebration by the Fencibles ter
minated with an evening parade. NJ
