ROCKPORT, Dec. %, 1860,
EDTTcR JOURNAL :-Thinking perhaps
that you and your readers would like to
hear from these parts occasionally, notwith-
standing the interest felt in special dispatch
es and telegraphic items, l send you few
jottings and will try and remember the old
adage to be ''short and sweet"
The Ladies' Fair here on Christmas Eve
was quite success. The spacious hall was
crowded and good humor was largely in
the ascendant. There were some six or
eight large tables covered with the handi-
work Of the fair daughters and the no less
fair mothers of Rockport. The chink of
the hard coin and rustic of the paper dollars
told how rapidly the articles were ex-
changing owners and in one corner of
the room, behind which stood some of Rock
port brightest girls, was the refreShment
stand, where oyster soup, peaches and cream
&c, &c, suffered pretty considerably. Dur
ing the progress of the Fair collection
was taken up to buy basket of artificial
flowers to present to the one who had done
| the most to get up the Fair and bring it to
such a successful termination. Miss Lottie
Furgenson (than whom Rocl1p port has no
better girl) was the happy recipient. The
net proceeds of the fair were about one
hundred dollars.
Last week dreadful accident took place
here. A daughter of James Hegans, while
playing with some matches, set her clothes
| on FIRE, and before they could be extinguish-
| ed was so badly burned, that after lingering
few days, suffering extremely, she died.
On Christmas, hand bills were circulated
around town stating that DR.. Daily would
lecture that night. Subject, "Fortify against
| the Goths and Vandals." The Doctors rep
utation as a lecturer, together with his
prominence as a public man, and the puz-
zling title to his lecture, drew good house,
aud have heard but one opinion expressed
as to the merits of the discourse, and that
was, good, decidedly good. 1t was purely
of a literary character. He seemed to think
| that our country had more to fear from ig-
! norance combined with wealth, than all
other causes put together. His positions
were well taken, and his arguments strong
and we'll put; but he labored under the dis
advantage of violent cold, which made him
quite hoarse and curtailed the power of his
voice to a considerable extent
As you are already aware, the Democrat
here is out in favor of Judge L. Q. DeBru-
ler for Senator. Coming as this in all like
lihood does from the pen of r. S. Hicks it
is entitled to some significance and if the
Democratic members of the Legislature
should adopt the suggestions there offered,
they will do better than | am generally
ready to accuse Democrats of doing.

THE WEAPONS OF DEATH.-Amidst the
general depression of business at the North
in consequence of the country's troubles,
there is one branch of manufacturing indus
try which is stimulated, not depressed, by
the crisis. We refer TO this manufacture of
fire arms. The demand SeUth for rifles and
pistols is exceedingly brisk; and Colts pis-
tol factory, which had NOS been fully en-
ployed during the two months preceding
the election, is now driven TO its full capaci-
ty. We learn that 800 pistols a day are
turned eut--fnished and complete Sharp's
rife factory is also full of business, and
hard at work to meet large orders.-Harf-

Webster,s Apostrophe {.

Webster's ApOstrOPhe to the Union
The sublime and eloquent words of Daniel
Webster in his famous reply to Hayne, are
familiar to most American readers yet they
are worthy of being reprinted thousand
times, and are especially appropriate at the
present juncture. He said:
When my eyes shall turn to behold tor
the last time the sun in heaven, may not
see him shining on the broken and dishonor-
ed fragments of once glorious Union on
States discovered, discordant, belligerent,
rent with civil feuds or drenched it may be,
in fraternal blood Let their last feeble and
lingering glance rather behold the gorgeous
ensign of the Republic, now known and hon
ored throughout the earth still full high
advanced, its arms and trophies streaming
in their original lustre, not single stripe
erased or polluted, not a single star obscnr-
ed, bearing for its motto no such miserable
interrogatory as "What is all this worth ?"
nor those other words of delusun and folly,
d" Liberty first and Union ntterward" but
everywhere, spread all over in characters of
living light, blazing on all it's ample folds,
as they float over the sea and over the land,
and in every wind under the whole heav-
ems, that other sentiment, dear to every
American heart, Liberty and Union, now
and forever, one and inseparable.' ;"
