National Independence:
South Carolina, when she entered form

Legislative act the Fourth of July from
her list of holidays. She was atrocious.

to destroy the glorious work OF our Re-
volutionary sirts, she ought no longer TO

The eighty.lifth anniversary OF the
birth of the American Republic is to be
signalized by the assembling Of new
Congress at Washingtor-(yes. at Wash
ing,on Mr.; jeff, Davis! do you hear?)
and by the consequent Inauguration,
doubtless, of more vigorous and system
attic efforts to disarm and crush out: the
Treason which aims at the National life.
Independence Day has for lifetime been
our great National festival, but this year
it will have a solemnity of emphasis, and
will be celebrated with fervOr Of patri-
otto enthusiasm, such as has never yet
been known.
We suggest that. in every City and
Country where Treason does not forbid
and forcibly prevent it, whether in the
North or the South, the East or the West
the entire population who are resolved to
stand by the Union and live and die under
the Stars and Stripes. shall be gathered
for such celebration as our fathers low
ed, and that, in addition to the usual ex.
eacises, the cid flag shall be raised with

there be other observances better calcu

and sessonably made, and the Fourth o
July, 1861, will be remembered with pa
trotic aife, tion and pride for the mex
half century.
We believe these suggestions will b
heartily endorsed BY every true friend G
the Union, and we would therefore urg
upon the cizens Of Fairfield the pro
priety Of making early arrangements 70
such celebration at this place. Let ther
be but one celebration in the county, ah
let that one be such as twill be remem
bered with patriotic affection and prid

A PURITAN THANKSGIVING PRocfAMlTIoY.-
In the contemptuous epithets which the
Southern chvalry apply to the people of
the Eastern States there is an aIfectation OF the
insolent swaggcr that distinguished the cavaliers
in the English civil wars. Tic curious and
Characteristic document which we publish in
another column in the form Of a thanksgiving
proclamation by Governor Andrew, of Massa-
chusetts, reminds one as forcibly of the reli-
gious zeal and Incorporating determine
ton which constituted the strength Of their an
tagonists. No one who has watched the course
of the people Of Massachusetts, and of their
Governor, since the commencement Of the
present struggle, can doubt their title to the
possession OF all the qualities that distin-
guished their Puritan ancestors. They have
thrown themselves into The contest with an car
nestness and determination which are beyond
all precedcIt. Not only have they contrbuteda
larger number OF regiments TO the army, but
they have sent them to the field better disci-
plined, better equipped and better organized
generally than those of any other State. 1t has
been remarked of them, as they passed through
our streets, that they seemed to carry the Union
in their hearts, and tile Bible in their
hands, so earnest, SO enthusiastic and SO de-
termined wassther aspect Instead Of relax.
