BY order of the Com of arrangements
There is to be al evening celebration at the
Agricultural College, to include splendid display
of Fire Works. As there are some misappro
tensions As to the relations existing between the
day celebration, to be held in the city, and the
evening celebration at the College, We insert the
following communication from the Secretary o.
the Committee of Arrangements, which fully ex
plains the matter:
EDITOR REPUBLIcAN-The Committee of Ar
rangements for the appropriate celebration o
the ensuing Fourth of July, have discharged
the duty assigned them, and matured a plai
which it is confidently expected will result in
successful demonstration.
Yet there is an opinion prevalent that the eel
ebratiOn here is connected with the exercises a
the Agricultural College in the evening" deci
ded mistake.
The committee first contemplated display o
Fire Works. bat it was found tc be impossible t,
raise funds sufficient for that purpose. Tn,
amount subscribed is barely sufficient to cove
the necessary expenses.
1t is due to those who responded So prompt,
to the call Of the committee, to state that tn,
amount subscribed will be expended here.
may state also, in justice to the patriotic Stu
dents Of the College, that they ask not aid from
our citizens, but would be pleased to receive
| hearty response to the invitation extended. ant
bid them welcome to the Inequalities of the In

Of service up to Brigadier's commission. Re
member Braddock's defeat, wherein the ruinous
results of a regular Generals unftness for his
post were partially averted by the ability of a
rather young and green Militia Colonel Re-
me Der that the most shameful disaters Of our
Last War with Great Britain were incurred un-
der the command of veteran regulars-Hull,
Winder, &c.-while our brilliant successes were
in good part achieved By civilians 'aifly jumped
into the service like Harrison and jackson In
short, let US not ride our new hobby TO death
but with moderation.
No doubt, experienced Colonies should, a
rule, be selected for the direction of field enter
prises, even where there are inexperienced Brig
adiers working for distinction. But Con ider
that our green officers OF volunteers played their
part nobly at Great Bethel - that Winthrop
fought and fell no less heroicay than GrebIe,
and that Coils Townsend and Duryee could not
have been surpassed in efficiency, not to speak
of courage and GOODNESS, by veterans. Ia short,
let US have some method in our madness, and,
while werender due homage to military education
and experience, consider that natural intrepidity,
fidelity, and mother wit are three points in favor
of a GOOD, efficient officer.

AN JTvrorNDRD CH.RcE-

AN UNFoUNDED CHARGE. We have
been at some trouble to ascertain the truth with
regard to the charge made against Capt Price, and
can not find there is any ground for it. When the
Third Regiment left Grand Rapids he was pre-
pared, and expected to go with it, but was de-
tailed by the Col. to take charge Of the sick
some thirty-fve in number-who were left be-
hind. Yesterday he went forward with twenty
Of them to join the Fourth, and was prepared to
obey orders, whether to go on to Washington, or
return to take charge of those who have not yet
recovered. He has not resigned, and We do no.;
understand that he intends to do so. Of course,
if our neighbor ascertans this to be the state of
the case, he will make the amsnde honorable, as
We do no, believe he designs to do the Captain
Injustice

THE COMING Fourth - Arrangements
have been made by the committee appointed for
that purpose, to celebrate the approaching
Fourth of July in manner that will do honor
to our city. BY the programme published below
it will be seen that the committee have secured
the services Of Hon. James V. Campbell, Asso
ciste Justice of the Supreme Court, rs Orator OF
the Day. The bare mention Of his name will be
sufficient to waken deep interest in the Ooca-
sion. Judge Campbell has clear, strong, and
capacious mind, is man of fine literary taste, a
thorough scholar and deep thinker Those
who listen to him may expect rare intellectual
treat, and they will not be disappointed.
Every possible arrangement for the comfort OF
the people will be made. Let US meet together
under the old flag and renew our pledges of de-
votion to eur country. Let US take the solemn
vow that, If need be,
