NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE.

! NEW YORK, July 8, 1859.
Having survived the sufocating scenes Of the
4th, will endeavor to furnish you with some of
the incidents of the day. At sunrise, the day was
ushered in by the booming Of a thousand cannon
from the various Notifications and the vessels in
our harbor; this with continual discharge Of
small arms. of every description, may give your
readers faint idea of the confusion which reign
ed.
Thousands upon thousands Of people rushed
pell NELL to the city, while like desire was ex-
hibited by our city population. Steamers, rail-
ways and ferry-boats were crowded to overflow
ing. No distinction of person, or position afford
ed apy safe guard-black and white, rich and
poor, were all mixed up in one chaotic mass, and
happy were those who escaped with no more Sc
rious accident than the loss of some portion Of
their attire. Flags were flying from every con-
eeivable point. Regiments and companies were
marching and countermarching in every direction,
dressed in their gay uniforms their bristling
steel flashing in the bright sun: light, and their
martial music, reminding one of the fearful scenes
which are taking place in Europe at this time.
There is no City in the Union that can excel New
York in the number of her volunteer corps, or in
the splendor of their equipments and perfection Of
discipline.
The military, civic societies, the fremen, Sec
cret societies, the dignitaries Of the. State and
City, and many other organizations too numerous
to be specified, then formed in the line of process
sion and gaily marched through the most public
streets to the waving of gay banners and the
music of hundreds of martial bands. The whole
route, eight miles long, having been accomplished
by the first of the procession, they returned to
find the rear, not yet under way. Dinners, speech
cs, concerts and theatres were some Of the amuse-
ments of the day. There was about one hundred
accidents which occurred during the dey: some
fatal and many serious ones.
The weather has been quite cool here, for the
season, which has had depressing effect upon
our fashionable watering places. The season will
be short one

CORREsPONDENCE.

Haven't we jolly, good, clever, faithful corps
of correspondents? What spice-what dainty
seasoning they impart to our sad and heavy bills
of-fare! The "Fourth Of July" seems to be the
burden this week. Let the reader of such in
spirting chapters set in notion for the next anni-
versary, the cold, calculating, pent-up patriotism
of our own locality! . 49,. ..
"Take my arm," is capital. We read it with
the sensation which we imagine the loving heart
of woman feels when she hears the tender words
from the lips of her lover. 1t is romantic prom
enade to which cur readers invited, and let US
all stake hand"
Does our Charleston correspondent really be-
lieve, steadfastly believe" that if we will hold
on indefinitely, and with the conviction that we
are in the right place, we will take and hold an
honorable place in the brotherhood? We confess
that the idea is too much of an ad infnitum con-
Germ, and we really would prefer to have indicated
to US some period, however remote, when we con
calculate upon the frution, with dead certainty.
Our friend certainly compliments Us, but at the
same time puts us in trouble vastly! Can'r he
give us nsr cut, airline road to our haven?

THE WAR IN EUROPE.

Since our last issue, the steamers have an
nounced another battle in Italy. After the battle
of Magenta and the evacuation of Milan, the
Austrians steadily retreatcd to their strongly for
tilted positions in Eastern Lombardy, with the de.
sign. apparently, of retiring behind their forts,
avoiding another pitched battle, and trusting to
the delays of protracted sieges and the ravages
of summer. fevers 10 demoralize and waste away
the allied armies Such would seem to have been
their policy. But, it appears, having received
large reinforcements, the Austrians took position
along The river Mincio and gave battle, the bare
result of which has reached US. We append the
meacre paragraphs by the last arrivals, and must
await another steamer to obtain the details OF
this, tho most bloody and decisive coufict of the
war.
Intense excitement continues unabated through
out the German states. No reliance is placed
upon the repeated assurance Of the Emperor Ma
poLEoy that bis aims are directed solely to the
liberation of Italy. The Germans regard the Min
clio as the Rubicon, the passage Of which gives ev-
idesce, to them conclusive, of NApoLEoN's designs
upon the Confederacy and we have no doubt this
will be the signal for offensive movements on the
part of Prussia, and q general uprising by the
minor States. following her lead. Preparatory to
taking the field, Prussia has submitted to the

Ar. Editor Who shall succeed the lamented
DARoAN, is question that should be well pom
dered, before the selection is made. The State
should guard with sedulous care, the prestige OF
her Chancery Bench. The learning and distin-
guisbed ability with which it has been adorned,
will be lasting monument in our judicial annals.
The State has, heretofore, been peculiarly fortu-
sunate, in calling into this department of service
her best talent, and we earnestly hope the next
Legislature will endeavor to preserve its lustre
undimmed, and invest with the judicial ermine
some one of her gifted sons, who will lend it ad-
ditional splendor With due Difference to the bril-
liant array of talent already named in this con-
nection, we would most respectfully suggest the
name Of G. W. WILLIAMS esq.,, Of this place, as
one eminently qualified for the high position.

children. For your readers, the account need
scarcely be given in detail. We met at the Pres:
tbyterian Church-teachers and pupils Of four
schools Presbyterian, Baptist, Episcopalian and
Methodist marched in long array round . square
and into the Methodist Church. After prayer,
about ten little boys, one after another, gave rs
an exhibition of their graces and powers in elocu-
ton. Between every two or three speeches, an
Ode was sung by the children. The people we're
much pleased with the young orators and vocalists
Rev. ". B. CoRBErT and another gentleman, were
considerably interested in the stage performances
of the boys-and they, together with the ladies
of the choir, feel sensible degree Of relief since
the catastrophe is over.
After the Sunday School speaking was eonclu-
ded, number of citizens marched abouts little,
and entered the Church-the intended hall lnotbe-
ing large enough for the multitude. An Grafton

A Asplendid Pic Mic came next-prepared by the

The matrons, poetesses, artists, statesmen, cler-

long tables, and their "potent grave and rever-

Tho Fourth In nChester---Speech OF Hon.
w. w. Boyce.
We copy the following from the Chester Stand
ard:
The celebration of the eighty-thrd anniversary
of American Independence, at Pleasant Grove,
was emineutly successful and pleasant. The day
was cool and agreeable, and the exercise inte
resting and instructive. The orator of the day.
Mr.. E. j. Mcdaniel, acquitted himself admirably
his address was enthusiastically received By the
large and appreciative audience in attendance.
The Hon. W. W. Boyce, We were pleased to See,
was present. and with his fellow citizens and con-
stituents of Chester, entered heartily and with
spirit into the patriotic demonstration of the occa
sion. In response to the unanimous wish of the
large crowd of citizens who had gathered there
fromithe different sections Of the district, he came
forward in the afternoon and delivered speech
Of an hours length, in his happest and best style
We have neither the time nor the space to give
anything like synopsis Of this speech, which
was so well delivered and SO well received by all
present
Mr. Boyce's opinions on the great political
questions which are now before the country are
we'll known and understood, and he did not, on
this occasion, differ at all from his positions as
formerly expressed and delivered. He recon-
mends moderation as the wisest and safest and
best policy for the South, but he does not some
would most upjustly insnuate, advise any thing
like submission He earnestly deprecates the
raising here of abstract and ruitless issues-sueh
as the revival of the African slave trade-the en-
actment by Congress of slave code, as it is call
ed for the territories, &C., as such course oper
ates only and solely to our disadvantage, bycres-
tine divisions and distractions at home, and by
giving to our enemies additional capital on which
to work, as the leaders of the Black Republicans
live only by fanatical agitation and excitement.
Practically, they care nothing for slavery nor for
slaves-all they desire is power, and to obtain
this they will not hesitate to resort to any mea-
sures however base and selfish. 1t indeed were
unwise in us thus to give them an additional ele-
ment of agitation, and consequently Of power, by
creating these issues on mere abstractions. Mr..
B. would deplore the election Of Q Black Repub-
lican President-this in his opinion, wouldbe q
sufficient cause for the South to dissolve her con-
