Sword Personalities.

UwOf0 KI0o0otoUsOns
On Friday, . deleea alton from the North,
presented Corporal B P. Mcdonald. as an
expression Of their appreciation FIR his gal
lantry and ability as military commander,
. beautiful sword-a relict Of the past.
which they had dug out Of the classic soil
Of Moneka. The sword was manufactured
from pure wrought iron. and was beautifully
inls:d with-rust. It is said to have for
mer!y belonged to Christian Won Hrncoop,
the first Grand Master Of the Hi oop. en-
boop.em Society, and upon it was engraved
the classic password Of that celebrated
order, viz mix cuuarouse, opidildock.
There are many traditions connected with
this order, called to mind by the appear
ance of the sword but we have not time to
speak Of them at present.
The presentation speech was made by
Perry Fuller, Esq. It was splendid effort,
and drew tears from the eyes Of the specta-
tors. We should be happy to publish it,
but unfortunately it was written in the
hieroglyphics of the Cherokees-a language
in which our compositors are not fully
posted. -"
The response by Corporal Mcdonald was
truly a master. piece Of eloquence. Having
been carefully prepared before hand, and
since translated, we are enable to give it to
our readers. Corporal Mcdonald was WIS.,
IDLY affected, and at first his voice trembled
considerably but as he proceeded. he gain.
ed strength, and his voice became musical,
Is he uttered the following words Of elo.
quence:
II understand this to be an expression
Of your appreciation Of my distinguished
merits Is an officer, which consider but
just. Believing it to be an instrument Of
peace, will sheath it now, and promise
never to draw it until my legs fail to per-
form their functions. Then in the Language.
