uar monthly meeting of this association was held
last evening, at the lecture room of the Ninth
street Presbyterian Church. The President, Mr..

OF the Association.
Rev. DIR. Stanton delivered very able address
on the extent and character of the influence OF

Il was stated that there was some probability Of

young corps cannot but feel highly attered at the
number in attendance, and the universal enjoyment
pervading them all
The company in the afternoon parade, turned
cut with twenty-five rifles, and would probably
have turned out more had the uniforms and ac-
coutrements been at hand.

Book, BOOK, spoke the cannon this morning,
and the peaceable citizens of the community were
somewhat alarmed at the sound. Although we
made the most diigent inquiry for the cause of the
eannonading, we could not ascertain what it was.
Some facetious gentleman suggested that Commo-
dore McCauley, of the San Jacinto, might have
captured Spanish vessel, in his cruise off the
coast o1Cuba, but we must wait and ascertain re-
liable news of the origin of this warlike demon
stration.
