The Fourth.

The National Anniversary passed OFT very quietly
~ This Mace, although we suppose every body sought
Measure or amusement after their own notions. So
far we are happy to say that we have heard OF no
acciden, of any kind worth mentioning.
AS per programme, the day was ushered in with
tho firing Of cannon and the ringing of bells, and be
tween 3 and O'Clock in the morning procession
was formed in front of the Carolina Hotel and pro
oood.,a - tho Cour, House. where the Meckenburg
Declaration was read by T. w. Brown, Jr., the Ma
tional Declaration by F. S. Eloore. and an OraIon
de ivered by F. D. Poisson
Mr.. Brown prefaced the reading OF the Mecklen'
bprp Declaration by some very appropriate remarks
and the reading of that instrument itself was de
stiuc, and impressive also the reading OF the
National Declaration by Mr.. Moore.
The Grafton by NJ. Poisson was very cTedl'aole
ert, appropriate to the times and the OCCASION con-
cpivpd in good taste and delivered IN manner wor-
+by Of lis matter Mr. P. heartily applauded
Tho Corne, Band disco ursed most eloquent music and
fair faces crowed the house, which would have look,
cd paradislcal if it had not been so hot and melting
compelling a constant hopping of the human face
4 vine We trust that the next celebration will be
held in the new Town Hall, which, from present i'll
dicatons. will be large enough to hold any number
comfortably.
AT SlickIandsvile in Duplin county the day was
celebrated with much spirit There was very
large assembIage of ladies and gentlemen. The
Grafton was delivered by Eli w Hall, Esq, of Will
minoton, and from the known abilities of the speaker
we feel confident that it was an effort every way
worthy Of the occasion
At Long Creek, in New Hanover County, there
was also a very fine celebration, and large con-
course of people, including many of the fairest
daughters of New Hanover. The Grafton, most
excellent and impressive one, was delivered by Rev.
Mr.. Towies.
Yesterday forenoon, the young ladies presented
beautiful flag to the Rife Cadets. Very pretty speeches
were made on the OCCASION and all passed OF beau
tifully. The Cadet companies had an excursion to
BeIyidere. on the Wilmington and Manchester K. H.
We understand that it was very pleasant one.
