CELEBRATION AT BULLOCK'S CREEK
Among the many evil effects of the present dis
tracted condition of our country, none is more 10
be regretted than the decrease of interest IN the
celebration of the anniversary of American In
dependence; and amid the general listlessness
and apparent Indifference on this subject, 1t is
cheering to see a whole community rise up a. one
man determined to do honor to the day that gave
birth to their liberties. 1t is a source of pride
and exultation to the true lover of patriotism. to
behold all classes and conditions Of society bring
ing their offerings to tho shrine of liberty, and
eude yoring to perpctuate the memory of n great
and glorious ancestry. Such seems to have been
the spirit that animated our fellow citizens Of
Bullock's Greek ut their celebration on Saturday
last. The excessive warmth of the weather seems
to have been no impeachment to n prompt and full
attendance even the ladies seem to have lost
their instructive fear Of sun and rain, in the ardor
of their patriotism. Long before the appointed
hour, the stand was surrounded by a large multi
tudc, anxiously awaiting the commencement OF
the exercises.
At ten o'clock, the procession was formed at
WIRES Store, and marched to the place selected
for the celebration, under command of the able
and efficient Marshals of the day, Col. McCoRKLE
and Maj. BuRRrs. The procession was escorted
by the Bullock's Creek Band, who male no little
addition, in the shape of music. to the interest of
the occasion; and whose exertions throughout the
day, elicit our highest praise. The Rev. K. Y.
RUSSELL pened the exercises by an earnest and i'm
nressive PRAYER, which breathed throughout n spirit
of exalted patriotism and fervent pipty. We never
hear prayers on occasions like this, without strong.
" mingled emotions. They bring before the mind
with far more eloquence than any labored eulogy
or studied grafton, the glorious memories OF the
Revolution. They recall that most Impressive
scene in the history of our national legislature,
.ths first prayer in Congress-; when the repre-
seutatives of the injured and oppressed Colonies,
assembled to deliberate upon measures for their
common veal, as their first duty, invoked the bles
sing of God upon their country and their cause
They remind US upon whose arm the heroic WASH
rNaToN leaned for support in the gloomiest period
of that e%ventful struggle, when the darkness of
death oyerspread our land and the last wild DEATH
shrek of freedom seemed about to be uttered.-
They point to that Almighty power who directed
our fathers throughout the contest, and at last
crowned their arms with victory. We believe that
no prayer will be more abundantly rewarded, than
the prayer of the christian patriot for his native
land.
The Declaration was read by ". B. RUSSELL,
ESQ.,. who entered fully into the spirit of that mas
terly production. and performed his task to the
satisfaction of every one. B. Fl. MOORE. Esq.
one of the Orators of the Day, was then introduced,
and delivered a graceful and appropriate address.
Mr.. MooRE's style is easy and elegant. and his
Grafton was characterized by much purity Of
thought and dicticn, and by an exalted patriotic
sentiment. We would gladly give our readers a
synopsis of this, rs well as the other addresses,
but time will not permit. At the conclusion of
Mr.. MoonE's GRAFTON, the audience was addressed
by S. W. MELToN, ESQ.,, who had also been mp
pointed to speak on the occasion. Mr.. MELTUN's
abilities as n speaker are too well known and &C.
knowledged to render it necessary for as to add
anything in his praise suffice it to say, that his
effort was able, chaste and eloquent, and in every
way worthy of the orator and the occasion.
After the delivery of the addresses, the regular
roasts were read by A. H. FAIR, Esq. from the
Committee of Arrangements. We give them in or
