Our National Birth Day.

We are pleased to learn that arrange
ments are already in progress. in our "an-
cient borough" for the purpose of celebra-
ting the approaching anniversary of our Ma
tonal Independence A celebration will be
held in the grounds Of the Cambria county
Agricultural Society. short dfstance from
town, the proceeds to be applied to the bene-
fit of the Catholic Church in this place. A
sumptous repast will be served up on the oe-
cason by the Ladies of the Congregation.
An oration will be delivered by our talented
fellow townsman, John S. Rhey, Esq. We
will publish statement of the arrangements
for the celebration in our paper next week.
1t is time houored and commendable GUS
tom to observe the anniversary of our Inde-
pendence as Nation, as a great National
Holiday 1t is a commendable custom, be-
cause it tends to keep alive in the breasts of
the people, the spirit of pure and lofty patri-
otism, and to remind them Of the many sac
rifces which their ancestors made to purchase
fo- them the precious boon of freedom. At
the present time when fanaticism on the one
side and treason on the other, are Ell deavoring g
TO weaken the league of love which holds the
Union together, it is essentially necessary
that We should carefully foster the true spirit
of nationality, which knows no North, nc
South under the Constitution. We hope the
celebration in this place, will be largely at
tended, az no effort we are confident will be
spared to interest and amuse all present. By
the way. it may no, be out Of place, to state,
that the 18th Of July this year, falls on Sun
day, and that the celebration will take place

The Right of Search---Highly Important
Resolutions.

In the United States Senate, yesterday,
the Committee on Foreign Relations made
highly important Report, which closes with
there significant resolutions:-
Reso.red, That American vessels at sea
under the flag, remain under the jurisdiction
OF ,he country to which they belong, and
therefore that any visitation molestation is
an intrsction OF The sovereignty Of the United
States.
Eesolvcd. That these aggressions demand
such unequlvOcal explanation from Great
Britain, shall prevent their recurrence for
ever i'll future.
i;esolved, That the Committee approves of
til action of the Executive. aud are prepared
to recommend such future Legislation cir
cuniStanccs may require.
The report states that vessels vi Ter til.
United States flag. pursuing lawful COM
mercc, have been flcd into, stopped and in
terrogated, as to the cargo. destination. crew,
&c. No less than fifteen American ships in
the harbor of Sagua la Grand, and six on
high have been officially reported, each
arrival bringing additional facts of the aggres-
sions Of the same power OBJ our flag. 1t has
hitherto happened that in isolated cases where
similar aggressions have occurred through
misconception, the United States has been
contented to accept disclaimer of intent, but
the continued and persevering character of
these outrages is such as TO arouse the indig
nation Of the country. and to require the arrest
at once aud forever the continuance of such

The British Outrages.

The repeated and apparently designed out
RACES upon the American flag, committed by
British naval efhcefs III the Gulf of Mexico,
is attractin the serious consideration, not
only of Congress, but Of the people. The
question Of what will be result, is one of the
greatest moment. In the army and navy, 1t
Is SAID that those best informed anticipate
fight. 10 us it seems scarcely probable that
England will risk war with our government
just at the present time. 1t would be most
unfJrtunate for both countries, if their friend
ly relations with each other should be distur-
bed just at tina present time. If the reports
of British aggression upon our ships have not
been exaggerated, and this does not seem
probable, as the accounts al appear to agree,
Great Britain will back out apologize, and
give indemnity for this annoying interference
with our shipping, Oh the part OF her cruis-
crs in the Cuff. If DO insult or in jury has
been Intended on the part of the British Gov
ernment, our just cause of complaint will be
promptly met, aid promptly these outrages

| to the British Government, that she will at
once give US indemnity tor the past and Sc
curity for the future. Less than this will

honor and of resenttulness against every at
front put upon our flag which has promptly
called forth the measures on the part OF out
Government necessary to assert and defend
our rights and protect our ships from insult,
interference and outrage, will meet the ap-
probation Of every American. Whatever
may have been the cause of these outrages
upon our flag, and whether the British MIN
istry own or disown the acts committed, the
prompt preparation to meet aggression anc
resent injury is our duty. We think anC
hope the preparations for war may answer th'
purpose of securing from Great Britain al
acknowledgement of the wrongs We have suff

From the Cincinnati Times Of Nay 25
The Storm Last Night.

It commenced raining yesterday morning
at abou. 10 o'clock, and continued throughout
the day, with slight intervals, to pour down
quite lively. Some of the showers were quite
heavy, and accompanied with thundeeand
lightning, But not until after midnight did
the full force of the storm appear to gather
for one tremendous outpouring of the waters
then did it seem that the windows of Heav-
en- were really open, and the foods were about
to descend as in olden time. The storm king
rode triumphant on his chariot of winds,
scattering in his path destruction, terror and
dismay. The rain poured down without ces-
sation until about 10 o'clock. The Oldest
inhabitants aver that they never knew it to
rain harder nor did they ever hear such tre-
mendous peals of thunder
The damage to railroads, canals, etc. has
been immense, and travel generally has been
suspended, there being neither arrival or de-
parture by railroad for the last eight or ten
hours. Our reporters have endeavured to
gather together the facts, as far as possible,
ip relation to the injury sustained, aud below
We give the result of their labors:-
BREAKING OF TIE WHITEWATER CANAL
The aqueduct opposite the Mill Greek
bridge, near the mouth of the creek gave
way some time duriEg the night, and the wa
ters this morning we're pouring from both
directions into the creek below. Ii is sup
pos I'd that the water of the creek washed
away the stanchions and uprights under the
aqueduct. thus letting the woodwork down,
which has foated down against the frame work
of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, causing
some Of the uprights 10 give way, aud giving
rise to the fear that the entire tressel work at
that poiut will give way.
INJURY TO THE OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI RAILROAD.
The canal has also given way directly this
side Of Delhi, and the waters being forced
against the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad en-
| bankment below, has caused the washing
| away of about 75 feet thereof. leaving the
track bending like bow over the chasm.
| A little further down. and near to Sedams-
| vile, about 500 feet Of the emban ment has
been washed away, caused by break in tho
canals The rails are twisted about in every
direction, aud the track Is a complete wreck
/ The waters must have been OF Immense vol
ume to cause the utter destruction here no
ticeable. 1t viii cost thousands of dollars'to re
pair these two breaks alone, aud that there
are others further down there is every reason
| to believe.

LITTLE MIAMI RAILROAD.

There vas quite large passenger list on
the Little Miami road this morning. The
train was. however, stopped st Duck Creek,
some FIVE miles above the city. The heavy
train of last night had swollen the creek to
great height, carrying large amount of drift
wood against the bridge, and dispiacing one
of the spans to the exteDt that it was judged
unsafe to attempt 10 cross it. At Plainvillc,
few miles beyond, land slide had taken
place, covering the track with saud, At
Lovelaud the track was still further damaged.

Measures have been taken for Immediately
