THE Flying ARTILLERY AGAIN.--When we
penned our paragraph In relation to this body OF
government troops for yesterday paper, and gave
what we felt convinced the true cause Of their
visit to this city, we did not think that should
be so soon supported by the best authority" So
1t seems that the artillery ordered here to take
part in the antiAmerican procession, and the pres
ident Of the committee Of arrangements is greatly
"put out" and disappointed because they didn't
do it. Well, friend you are not the first person
who has trusted to the promises OF our present
administration and found them air. We sympa-
thize deeply with you. 1t was too bad, especially
when YOU had such a hard time to exc out q pro-
cesson. When President Pierce comes home, I'd tell
him about it. Let him know that genuine, out
and out, up and down, sure enough anti-Know-
Nothing, anti-American administration celebration
infamous. You may depend on 1t, the gineral
will raise row about it the next meeting of the
Cabinet. Shouldn't wonder if Secretary Davis got
his walking papers on suspicion of being Know
Nothing.
But seriously 1t has now come out, in the let
ter Of the chairman Of the committee of arrange
ments of the foreign party that the United States
Artillery were ordered from Baltimore to this city,
to assist at party celebration of our national an
niversary. This was the intention. This the OBJ
ject of their visit That this unprecedented and
grossly improper intention was not carried out, 10
only another proof that unwise and censurable as
the acts Of the administration generally are, they
are worse in their intentions than their imbecity
and vascillating minds will allow them to be in
practice. II would indeed, have been almost too
great All outrage for even the present cabinet to
perpetrate TO turn the army of the country into
party tool; but 1t seems they had the will and
the intention to do it, and only lacked the nerve
to !" take the responsibility"

An lNcrDESr-A thorough going Democrat and
Anti Know Nothing from North Carolina happened
in this city on the Fourth of July and went to the
Capitol to witness the celebration by what he
thought was his party. On looking around him
self he found that nne-tenths Of the persons pres
ent were foreigners, and he went out disguised,
saving 20 casual acquaintance that he couldn't
stand the association any longer. Whether he
went home Know Nothing or not, we are not
advised, but II is certain that he went away dis
gusted with what he saw, and he is doubtless now
a wiser man.
