As some of our churches are considering the prop'
ETY. of adding the Organ rappurtenances Of wor

CAL yet promises to iubserve admirable purpose in
the cause of Church Music. We quote from the "New

Messrs Mason & Hamlin, the melodeon mnnufac-
lures in Boston, have perfected and commenced the
manufacture Of their new instrument, the Organ Har-
monium, which has occupied large portion Of their
attention for long time. 1t is complete success,
and is destined, We predict, to very extensive nse In
some respects this instrument IL smilarlo the ces!ra.

portable, less liable TO get out Of order and Is 70 DO

generally, and indeed Of several other States are
earnestly requested to participate; and, from CarOlin.
ias, any contribution TO the means Of dscharging the
expenses of the occasion will be most thankfully re-.

exercise their liberaty in the NATTER ,hey will ascer

be enclosed by referring to certain " "ProceedingS"
which we publish this week. These proceedings are
also pointed to as expressing the object and spirit Of
the proposed celebration. 1t will be seen that two
distinguished gentlemen have been appointed orators
of the day. and doubt that every thing will be
in keeping with the high rank of the anniversary. We
say "high rank" and perhaps we might add that it
occupies in point of view, the very foremost place
among our Revolutionary battle fields We alude TO
the fact Of its having been the turning point, as it
were in our struggle for Independence. In the dark
est hour of that srruggle our 4th of July otons
used to run-when for more than two years we had
met with succession of failures and dreadful suffer-
ing-when our little army was reduced until you might
trace them by their tricklng blood as they went
Virginia invaded-New York taken--New Jersey the
enemy's country-Georgia and almost the whole Of
South Carolina overrun-when there was none who
did not feel ths gloom of despondency-when indeed
the hopes of the people were prosrated and the pail of
despair spread over us-from what quarter did glad
tidings first break in upon the country7 A voice of
victory heard along the sides of Kings Mountain
1t was the voice of the bold men of Virginia and the
Carolinas. And the sltering of their bayonets and
the flash Of their guns were the rst lights that
