The Fourth of July.

Another Fourth of July will soon DC at
hand. Is it to be celebrated ! Is the
mos, memorable day in the history Of our
country to be passed by unobserved
We hope not. As we have but few ma,
ronal holidays compared with other ma
tons. England has five, France ten to our
one. J we want 10 see the few we have re.
cognizcd. They have an influence upon
tie national mind i'll begetling strong at
,achment and love for our native country.
Much of the warmth and ardor of Roman
patriotism was attributable 10 the lntiu-
ence oflher many national festivals. The
non.obscryance of these was one of the
causes o! the gradual decay and fall OF the
Empire.
Letus then not loose our nationality by
neglectng to celebrate those memorable
DAYS in the history of our country, and to
show oar admiration Of tho great achieve
mcnIs of the early fathers of The Republic
which they commemorate.

A Railroad Excursion.

The President and Directors OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, the mem
bers of the City Council of Baltimore,
and a number of invited guests, took a
trip last week over the aforementioned
road TO Wheeling and Parkersburg.
They provided themselves with an album
dance Of the good things Of this world,
and the excursion no doubt was an eX-
ceedingly pleasant one.
We learn from Correspondent of the
Baltimore Democrat, that for the safety OF
the train and its passengers l.oUGHMDGE' 5
Patent American Carl Brake had been at
tached, and although on accounted the
breaking Of a chain, from defective mate
rial, il did not operate with its usual Elf
cheney, yet the trial given II proved tba
it was far superior to the ordinary brake
in use. Even if it were only equal 10 the
latter, the great advantage acquired by ii:
use and application by one man only, ant
that man The engineer Of the train, who
1 is alw avs the first to discover the danger
makes it vastly superior TO any brake we
/ invented.

The civil war, as it may now be term

creased Cury. Some ten or fifteen lives
h,ve been sacrificed within two or three
weeks, and unless decided steps are spec
div taken by the General Government

ming rampant over the territory, hundreds
more will be killed in the strife. We
Derceive that MIR. CRITTENDoN has intro
duced in the Senate of The United States
proposi,on, which, if adopted and car
RED out, will pu, an end to these violent
proceedings. 1t is resolution request
inc the President of the United States to
send Gen. SCoTT 10 take command OF the
United States troops now in the territory.
Gen. SCoTr is the proper person to send
thilher. for he would carry IN his lett
hand the sword, and in his right the olive
branch OF peace" 1t will be remember
ed, that the opponents of Gen. ScoTr IN
1852 urged as an objection to his election
that he would reopen the Slavery aglta-
ton, and destroy the peace and harmony
which then existed in this country. This
very thing they have since done them
selves. and it is now probable that they
will have 10 avail themselves of the servl-
ces Of the illuminated old Hero, who is
as well peace maker as warrior, to ar
rest the frighrful consequences of their
own stupendous folly.
