CorPER MINIS, July 5, 1856.


Mr. Editor The s0th Anniversary OF
American Independence was very appropri-
ately celebrated at Copper Hill on Friday
The enterprising citizens OF this place and
Tennessee mines prepared very sumptuOus
dinner, which was freely given to all. At an
early hour upwards # 1000 people assembled
and were comfortably seated in a beautiful
grove, with the starred and striped emblem OF
liberty floating over them.
The Declaration of Independence was read
by Mr.. VIM. Franklin, Clerk of the Court of
Tanning county, Ga. The Marshal of the
day Mr.. III. Coleman. delivered an address
well adapted to tho occasion; he was follow.
ed by Col. Chasteen, member of Congress
from Georgia. The Rev. Y, Davis, late of
Arkansas. then proceeded in an able and inter
esting manner to address the audience. Mr..
r. G. Cross, talented young man from
England, delivered short and mild address,
followed by-C A. Proctor, of McAlinn county,
Tenn, who made very eloquent speech, call
ing upon the people to remember the many
hardships and difficulties which our forefath
ers endured, to secure the glorious and in
estimable privileges which we now enjoy
Mr.. N. B. Shirley, promising young lawyer
of Georgia, also interested the audience.
Dinner being announced, the crowd march
ed to the sound of music to the tables, where
they found them well furnished with album
dant refreshments for all in attendance
After discussing the good things on the
table till all were satisfied, they marched
back to the stand and proceeded to discuss
the topics of the day.
All things were conducted in order and
went on nicely. Good will and harmony
prevailed throughout the day.
The honest yeomen of the country were
crowded in masses on every side, and whilst
the proud banner Of freedom was floating
in the breeze high above their heads, the ex
preston of each mans brow seemed to say
independence now and independence forever
Yours, truly, W. IL. M.

TOTAL DEPRAvlTY.-Two men, Henry
Eggers and Carl Sleder, have been detected
in placing distractions on the Michigan Cen
trail railroad. They had repeatedly done the
same thing, and the officers spent eight
weeks in their neighborhood endeavoring to
detect them. Finally they were caught in the
act Their hostility TO the road was caused
by the loss of dog, which had been killed
by passing train. They never asked Iremtu'
neration Cor the loss, but commenced the
fiendish system of distractions. A few mo-
ments after.they had placed these last sills
across the road an express train came thun.
dering along with four hundred passengers
The stills were struck and carried seven hun
dred yards before the train could be stopped.
providentally the cars were not thrown oil
or any damage done.

.R- An Albany correspondent of the Bal
timore Patriot saws:

sR- An Albany correspondent of the Bal
timore Patriot says:
"Mllard Fillmore is the very impersona-
ton of good health and vvacity. He is
above six feet in height, square built, some.
what corpulent, wtha pretty full face, and
highly intellectual countenance; and the
brown complexion which the atmosphere oe
the ocean has given him renders him, phys
icaliy and intellectually, a rare and noble
specimen of humanity. Certainly no man in
the nation could look more the President of
the United States than does Willard Fillmore.
"'rhe most amusing incident that trans-
pired in connection with Mr.. Fillmore's tenn
porary sojourn in our midst was his meeting
with Prince John Van Bnren. II took place
on the platform Mt the capitol, while MIR.
Fillmore was shaking hands with the i'm
mence crowd there assembled. The Prince
took his regular turn in the crowd as they
passed by the distinguished statesman, and
when he came up and took Mr.. Fillmore by
the hand, tremendous shout went up from
the multitude Some cried out at the top of
their voices, "Giv him the grip" while 70.
bust American occupied himself by patting
John on the back and asking him to repent.
Mr.. Fillmore laughed heartily during the en-
tire ceremony, which lasted some minutes,
while the Prince preserved the greatest de-
gree of dignity, and finally left the platform,
apparently pretty well satisfied that he had
strayed into the wrong crowd.
"rhe prospects of Mr.. Fillmore in this
State are daily growing brighter, and you
may depend upon il that the Empire State will
render n most glorious account of herself on
the 4th day of November next The people
are already alive to the importance OF the oc-
casion, and it is astonishing to witness daily
the scores of Old Line Democrats that are
wheeling into the Americp ranks"

iW We are constantly told, says the
American Democrat, by street corner politi-
clans and one-horse Buchanan newspapers,
that the present contest for the Presidency is
between the Democratic and Black Repub-
lican parties alone-that the American party
is not known in the fight. While these
brainless busters are making this silly de.
claration, they are showering their heaviest
blows upon the crest of Americanism, there
by proving, that though the American party is
not known in the fight somebody is seri-
ousy apprehensve that it will be known in
the victory.
If these small-patatoe demagogues and
newspapers really believe that the American
party is too contemptibly weak to grapple
successfully with their darling foreignism
in the conflict just begun, why do they clutch
ut its throat with such murderous rage and
villainous ferocity? Why are the cohorts of
Democracy SO constantly and Justify called
upon TO put down Know Nothingism? Why
DO they not bend all their energies to the
overthrow of Black Repubicanism! Thank
Heaven, the American party is known in the
fight 1t were sad day for the Union it it
were not.

eB 1t is becoming more and more appa-
rent every day, says the Florence Democrat,
that the Democracy nominated the wrong
man to catch the votes of the Oldline Wings,
an object they are exceedingly anxious to
compass. The Wings still love the memory
of Henry Clay with an affection which the
lapse of time cannot weaken; and they are not
Obvious of the fact, that James Buchanan
was for years the bitter, ungenerous enemy
and vial traducer of that noble and gifted
man and was an accessory to the damning at
tempt TO fix upon him the charge of bargain
and corruption. The Old-line Wings never
lose sight of this dark spot upon the record
Of james Buchanan. They will never ex.
tend their suffrages to the slanderers of him
whom they most loved in life and cherish
most in death. Bid them forget the name
of Henry .Ciay-bid them forget his genius
and his worth-bid them forget his more
than patriotic devotion to his country--bd
them desecrate the hallowed spot where the
old hero sleeps, and scatter his sacred dust
to the winds,-but in the name of all that
patriots reverence, ask them not to outrage
the memory of the slandered dead by sing
ing hosannahs to the living slanderer!
