Nor were we disappointed the subject of the
speech was exceedingly opposite, fortunate in the
time and applicatior-' The Physical Education OF

In the outset the speaker said that he had come in
obedience to kind invitation given TO speak few
plain truths, not 10 hazard any reputation

good originate any couse that might tend to bene-
fetal results, the highest object of his ambition would
be accomplished.
In rapid manner he glanced at the physical SUI
periority of the women of I.actdnmon, and other
Grecan States of Syria in primitive times, and even
OF the women OF England, in our own day, over the
women OF America. He gave painful but over true
view of the condition of postetty, if the women OF
America continued in their of physical de- en-

labor of the patient and industrious farmers might
have been seen about one hundred OF the patrIotlc
sons and daughters of freedom, on Saturday. the + u
of July. They met 10 celebrate that great glorious
and sacted day. The meeting was the most pleasant
ami agreeable, ever witnessed. Not an uhiflenoly
or disagreeabe I'd, which is so frequent IN Larger
and more crowded assemblies, was uttered. But, on
the other hand the countenance of every one seemed
to be filled with love, gratitude and friendship
Every smile seemed to speak and tell OF the JOY ard
gladness thai was felt within. The aged and veneer
able sat and listened with pleasure and delight while
the young read and spoke Of deeds and actions in
days gone by And often might the expression,
" This meeting seems TO strengthen our rlendshlp,
been heard from the lips of the old and wise, who had
assembled to enjoy the celebration Of the g Sabbath
day of freedom, which has come again to bless our

sumptuousy and elegantly prepared by the generous

hour of separation. When this arrived, which was
until nearly the going down OF the sun, painful
regret seemed TO the joyful minds OF every one.
But the time had come and to it they elded with

o. New York appears to be in blessed state in

The reader will remember that at the late session
OF Congress Senator Clay of Alabama, in capital
speech exposed the fragrant mi ustice of the fishing
bounties annually paid to New England 1t is 10 be
regretted that his movement for the repeal of the in
lqultouS law under which this gross, sectional pro-
tec,ion is practced, made at so late period of
the session as to preclude any dein,tive remeda ac
ton. In order to give the Southern reader an idea
of the outrage committed on his section under sane
ton of fedora law, We published the following state
ment from the books of the Treasury Department
The bounties on fishing paid by the Assistant u
States treasurer in Boston for the year 1861

1t will be here observed that nearly 5000 900 of

State that openly sets at defiance of the Federal
laws and OF the provisions of the Federal Con
sution while over one hundred and fifty thousand
goes IN the same way TO another State which votes
by thirty thousand majority for dissolution of the

the more intolerabe, is that two thirds at least of
this treasure is flched from he pockets of the very
