PIC-NIC ON THE IsLAND.-Ye Yesterday
vas one Of the plsasantest days Of the season,
and st nine o'clock, about one hundred Of the
fair and brave Of our city. met at the depot
and marched across the bridge to the leland,
where they engaged with great glee ins pic
mic. Milo White vss on hand chuck full Of
music. At one o'clock dinner vas announced
by Mr.. Green. the same having been provided
by the ladies. sDe in doing which they did
themselves much credit The time was spent
In dancing, promenading and singing patriotic
sonss by the entire party. The party I'D.
journed At five o'clock after having enjoyed IN
extremely pleasant time. The usiversal "pin.
ION expressed BY the boys and girls vas that
there couldL't be any secession Oh their part.
and that the leland should be lasting witnees
Of their Union.
WELL PUr IN.-The editor of the
Der Democrat. in its yesterdays issue. gives
the 9esette . pretty severe rap over the
knuckIss which it viii be veil to give the Ame.-
icsn portion Of the public the benefit Of, and
for the purpose Of showing how cold that
sheet can be when the advancement Of . Ger
man is spoken ot, and how it changes its tone
on other occasions.
Il will be remembered that few days ago
the Gazette expressed vast deal Of anxiety
for the promotion of Captain Littlsr to the
Colonelcy Of the Second Regiment, and not on
" got out communication In rafarence there
to but advocate the same in the "local" o.
course one objected to anything of the kind
but it will also be remembered that only
few days before when member of the Ger
man Volunteer Company wrote communica-
ton favoring and advocating the election Of
Col Pertzei, Hungarian OF eminent military
ability and long practice. and asked the Ga
Lstte to publish the same. its virtuo.s indigns
,ion was aroused. that sny one should prssum.
to surmiss that the Gazette should meddle IL
any such matter, and thus savsgely rsmsrks !:
"The business Of electing Colonel Of the
First Regiment bsongs entirely to the Regi
ment itself. not TO the public generally, aud
therefore ~e deem it not q Fl su. ject for news
paper discussion. AT ALL EVENTS WE DsCLISE
MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS As TO rHE MAN
OR PERMITTING OTHERS 10 DO so
THROUGH OUR COLUMNS"
There is . chspter of consistency for you
Place both Of the candidates on their military
m srits and mark the difference. The old Hun
gar an 10 far ahead. vet be is . German. and
the editor Of the Gazette. formerly the presi
dent Of Know Nothing lodge in this city. re-
fuses to even make mention Of him. Whsr
consistency o, humbug!
