The DAY OF CErEBRATroS.-Never in tho
history of our country was the birthday
of Washington celebrated with more uni
versal and earnest interest than on Saturday
last The occasion derived increased impress
siveness from the fact that we combined with
our reverence for the memory Of the man
sincere and hearty feeling Of joy and thankful
ness that the glorious heritage which he left to
us a. the reward Of his labors was to be spared
TO us in all its integrity, Notwithstanding the
Vaccinations of Southern traitors The know

crowned with victory after victory, and that

The delegates chosen by this election were
unconditional Union men, and, if the ordinance
calling convention had been adopted by the
people, these delegates would have met or the
25th of February. Governor Harris, thus baf-
fed, determined to carry the State out Of the
Union, whether the people desired it or not.
and accordingly summoned the Legislature
to meet on the 25th of April. The
work of dragooning its members was pro-
ceeded with just as it was in the Richmond
Convention, till, on the 9th Of May, majority
was obtained sufficient to pass what was called
ga declaration of independence which, in
effect, was an act of secession; and it was or
dered that IL should go to the people for their
decision. In three days the Legislature again
adjourned, and on the 9Th OF June the vote was
taken on the declaration of independence"
and 1t was adopted through the influence Of the
politicians and stump orators who overrun the
State from all parts of the South. On the 18th
of June tho Legislature assembled for tho third
time, and consummated the secession of the
State.
Tennessee is one Of the most important Of the
Southern States. In 1860 II had population
of 1,146, 500, of which 287, ,1l2, or onefourth of
the whole, were slaves. Its territory measures
4O, 1000 square miles. Its people have always
been regarded as among tho very
best soldiers in the Union. In the
war with England in 1sl2-l5 it was
chiefly by the riaemen Of Tennessee, who had
marched fifteen hundred miles to New Orleans,
that the hosts Of English invaders were driven
back to thcir ships from the plains Of Chal-
mcttc. The loss of Tennessee to the rebel Con-
fcderacy would be fatal to its hopes. With the
loss Of this State neither Virginia nor North
Carolina could any longer be held; and IL these
three important border States. together with

Almost every day we find recorded in the rural
journals the superior craftsmanship Of some indi.
vidual in bringing down with his gun an American
eagle. The last case of this description occurred
in Westmoreland county, Pa. where il is stated
that Mr.. A. Montgomery "shot large bald eagle,
with head as big as Sleeps" or probably
about the size of the gentleman's who aimed the
gun. In our opinion If Mr. Montgomery would en-
list in one Of the companies belonging to Berdan's
Sharpshooters, he might be in position where his
superior craftsmanship would rebound more to
the credit of himself and to the honor and glory of
his country than it can possibly do by bringing
down. harmless, inoffensve bird, from which
the liberty of the nation is alegorzed. The shoot.
ing Of these birds should by law be made q mis-
demeanor, and severely punished. The practice
s more than vandalism, and IL it 10 not put stop
TO by legal enactment 1t should be frowned down
by every lover Of the Union.
A public meeting of the Board Of Publication Of
the Reformed Dutch church, In Harrison street.
Brooklyn, was held last evening, for the purpose
Of devising the best means of disseminating re-
gious consolation in the shape Of tracts, &C.,
among the army now fighting the battles Of the
Union. After the usual religious exercises had
been performed the pastor of the church, Rev. Mr.
Smith, explained the object Of the meeting to the
congregation. Colonel Hayward, of New York,
was then introduced, and spoke at some length on
the necessity Of providing the soldiers with Bibles
and hymn books. Rev. DIR. Porter. of Williams.
burg, also addressed the congregation in advocacy
Of the object, and stated that the Board of Publ.
cation had number Of tracts, &C., on their
shelves, which would be willingly devoted TO the
soldiers. A collection was then taken I'D for the
purpose Of indemnifYng the Board for their
