B8OLD CuarsrMAs DAY.-We mott,

Be5NOLD CHRIsTMAs DAY.-We notice
by some of our exchanges that old Christ
mas, or Twelfth day, (NIouday) was obscrv-
cd in many places. 1t is celebrated MS the
day in which Christ manifested himself in
the flesh.
In America, among the superstitious
there is a tradition that at midnight pre-.
ccdiug the Old Christmas hops sprOut from
the ground however hard it may be frozen.
They also have an idea that all cattle fall
on their knees at midnight, and it frequent
~ occurs in many PORTIONS of this country
that parties watch at night for tho sprout-
ing of the hops. 1t occurs twelve days nf.
ter Christmas, and was originally observed
as the natal day of the Saviour.
In England, Twelfth night is ono of ju-
Venilc fcstivity, and the shops of all con-
PETITIONERS, are for week in advance gar
nishcd with large Twelfth cakes, we'll
frosted and ornameutcd with sugar images
These cakes contain pea and bean on on
positc sides. One side, containing the
bean, is cut for boys, and the other, with
the pea, is cut for girls. The boy and girl
obtaining the bean and pea are king and
queen of the evening. aud ordain the
games. During the middle ages the par
ticipators in this custom were by no means
confined to the children, aud in addition to
cake, "a supper with minced pies, was
partaken of.
IIAncr supper the wassail bowl was
brought in, consisting of hot ale filed
with roasted apples, of which those as
sOmbled each extracted one, and after eat
ing it, drank the health of the company out
of the bowl itself. THIS custom was in
herited from tue Saxons, and that of tina
pea and bean in the cake from the ancient
Romans, who borrowed it from the Greeks
Horace speaks of it, and it is found
mentioned in the poems of the Middle
Ages.
In our country Twelfth Day is simply
observed as the Epiphany in the Catholic
and Episcopal churches; in the former by
High Mass, and in tho latter by extra
prayers. Occasionally We may hear of a
Twelfth Night party in families of Euro
penu birth or among Americans who have
been abroad, but in general the day passes
without observance by the masses ut large.

Washington is Free!


For the first time in the history of this
Government, the Capital stands upon free
soil!
After long and gloomy storm has chilled
and dispirited men, how full of gadness and
hope is the first faint blue spot that shines in
that heaven2 That hand breadth of blue is
migh;ier upon our spirits than all the waste
and wilderness of black clouds that fl the
whole heavens. 1t tells us what is behind The
storm. 1t shows that the clouds are growing
Thin, ana moving off That spot of prophetic
blue has at last shonc through at Washington!
The District of Columbia holds no sIavesl-
Emancipation has been effected. The slaves
to be set free were few IL there had been but
ten, the Joy would have been as great. 1t is
the nation that is freed. It is our Government
that has been emancipated. This is the first
act Of legislative emancipation performed in
this nation, since the Revolutionary impulse
ceased, and re-aetionary movement for sla-
very set in! The Congress of the United States
are deliberating, for the first time since " ash
ingtons day, upon free soil! The foundations
Of the Capitol are on free soil!
The President walks upon free soil, as he
strolls through the grounds of the White
House. The birds will sing sweeter. The grass
will grow greener. Flowers will yield bet
ter fragrance. Every Christian man upon this
continent should offer one prayer of deyout
thanksgiving Men should meet each other
with congratulations. Those long separated
may well make this event an altar of reconciIia-
tion. 1t is far higher reason for national
thanksgiving than any event in the campaign.
Will not the President ask this Christian
nation to join in day of thanksgiving? But
we ought to wait for that. Public meetings
should be called in city and village and citi-
zens, without respect to party or religion,
should unite in expressions of patriotism and
congratulation over this memorable event!
The terrible code of slave laws lies dead in
the District of Columbia! Those dreadful
Offices which it created, are sunk to eternal in
fanny! Human flesh is not merchantable in
the Capital of free people! Mothers own
their daughters! Men own their wives! Love
binds together households inseparably, that
yesterday could be put asunder for gold. New
songs will rock hundreds of cradles. God is
glad for bis own poor. Let us be glad!
To every just and honorable SOUL that loves
right, and hates wrong, we send greetings
Washington is free!
To all who have long silently prayed and
waited the sure hand of God, with unfalter-
ing trust, we send greetings W Washington is
free!
TO those long tried men, who have given their
lives to the work of national renovation, and
who happily live TO see the beginning of ma
tional emancipation, we send joyful greetings
Washington is free!
Could our voice go forth out of this sphere
to that land of the blessed where are the beau
tiiul spirits of those who early labored for lib
erty, but died without the sight, we would cry
TO them: "Giye nobler thanks to God. and
higher praise! The Capital of the nation is
free!"-[N. Y. Independent.

The last fight took place about -four
miles this side Of Front Royal, his effort
being to fall back IN order, expecting re-
Inducements momentarily from General
Banks.
A member Of Knapp's Battery, who
escaped, says the Maryland regiment
fought bravely, and that Col. Kenley led
them frequently to bayonet charges.
He also says that on the third ap-
pearance Of Ashby he displayed white
dag until within pistol range, when Col.
Henley ordered to cease firing the white
flag was then thrown down and the enc.

BALTIMORE, May 26.-The following
is the statement of Captain Geo. Smith.
Of the First Maryland Regiment, who
succeeded in making his escape from
Front Royal:
About one O'clock P NJ, a negro who
was mounted upon horseback, came dash
ing into camp, crying out that the rebels
were coming in great numbers, and they
will surround you and cut you off.
AT first the men laughed at him, say
ing they had waited SO long for them that
they did not believe a word of it. AS
soon however as Col Kenley saw the
nan, he became satisfied Of their ap-
REoash.

All the religions bodies recently in session
have spoken in decided terms in support of
the Government, in denunciation of the rebel
lion, and in terms of high commendaiion of
the President. The General Synod of the
Lutheran Church, the Conference of the Meth
odist Protestant Church, and The General As
sembly of the New School Presbyterian
Church, have all passed without dissenting
votes resolutions of this cLaraeler-and the
Old School Presbyterian General Assembly
recently in session at Columbus, adopted by an
overwhelming majority the able paper N the
state of the country prepared by DR.. Robert
J. Breckenridge, and by an equally decisive
vote sustained that sterling patriot in the issue
between himself and his late colleagues in the

The late repulse of Gen. Banks caused the
MARYLAND traitors to become so exultant and
insolent that at Baltimore, HageTstown and
Cumberland, the Union men had their indig-
nation greatly aroused, and gave the secesh to
clearly understand that their manifestations of
Joy at rebel triumphs would not be tolerated.
In Baltimore and also in Cumberland intense
excitement prevailed the streets were crowded,
the most prominent and obnoxious seeessionists
who ventured 10 show themselves were roughly
handled. and many Of them had TO seek safety
in concealment or fight. The day for such
scenes as we're witnessed in Baltimore in April
1861, when Union men were run over rough
shod by traitors, has forever departed in that
State.
