TEE CAxN1No- MONROE DocTRINE.-E sewher
we print letter from Mr.. Benjamin Rush,
the son of the former Minister to England
In relation TO the conferences between
bis father and hr. Canning on the propo-
sition that England and the United States
should jointly make declaration similar In
its nature to the well known doctrine" Of
any important fact that was not already before
the public. We regret this; for inasmucb a. he
was With his father at the time, and was. we
believe, Secretary Of Legation, II can hardly
be possible that he should not be familiar With
particulars Of the negotiation that have not
been laid before the world: and every particu
lar Of those important conferences would now
be deeply interesting to the country.
In an article on the Monroe doctrine pub
lished last Monday we said that the joint decla.
ration was not made because Mr.. Rush CON.
sidered II beyond bis powers. Mr.. Benjamin
Rush deems this hardly just to his father, and
quotes despatch to show that the matter fell
through because Of the failure Of Mr.. Canning
to accede TO q condition made by Minister Rush.
II lie true that the Minister did expressly say that
u Mr.. Canning would accede to his condition
be In turn would enter fully into Mr.. Canning's
views and make the declaration. This does
not controvert our statement What was Mr..
Rushs condition precedent! II was that Eng.
land should acknowledge the Independence
Of the Spanish-American States. This was
point that England made great difficulty
over that we we're deeply interested in, and that
Mr.. Rush, even while degrading IL diplomati-
cally TO the level Of condition. justly felt was
of first rate Importance in his mission. He
could have gone great ways to gain that
important point, as he well knew.
| And thus, though Mr. Rush did not feel iusti-
fed in entering upon the declaration as a scpa'
rate subject, he felt that he would be fully
| authorized IN making It i it could be draws

A MovNo BASE OF SUppLIss.-Tbe most
notable feature Of the late grand review at
Washington was General Shermans moving
base Of supplies, bic unique and amusing, but
highly efficient division Of foragen and bum.
mers-those Industrious cleaners Of horses,
mules, donkeys, cattle, -four, corn, pota-
toes, pigs, sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens,
ducks, and other "unconsdered trines" which
supplied the lighting legons Of Sherman on
their marches through Georgia down to the sea,
and thence through the Carolinas to the fallen
capital of the defunct Southern confederacy.
That ludicrous grand division Of foragers and

f'Thc NOblest Work Of GOk's.1

1t has been said, and truthfully too, that
can honest man is the noblest work of god"
This truthful adage was molly exemplifed in
the person of Mr.. Ara Mcfarland an honest
yeoman of ye four mile, who through mis-,
take at the clearing off of the tables at the
epic Mic" Of the Fourth, took away several
articles that his "ladye love" informed him
they were not the legal owners; str aightway
Ira maketh for the town, aud by dint of per-
severance succeeded in finding the proper
owners. We speak Of this case of honesty
for the reason that it is unusual for us %
find many such cases upon such oc casions.
For the benefit of others honestly inclined,
we would say that there are many articles
at Mrs. Z. D. Halls, for which owners are
wanted alao many articles for which the
owners are III search. Good people don't want
an Invitation to be honest, but come of their
own accord and ''render unto Caesar the
things that are C9sar's."

Notwithstanding the heavy rain of the
night of the third, and the porseatisus ap-
psarance OF the clouds for rain On the morn
ing Of the 4,h, the great day passed off with
the usual enthusiasm, with no accidents, and
with one exception, the utmost good feeling
prevailing. The people began to pour int
town shortly after seven, and by eleven the
streets we're throngeG With patriotic individ-
.als, who seemed to realize and faNy appre-
eiete the great day they had assembled to
to celebrate. The procession formed at the
ferry landing under the direction Of Mar
shall Wood and his aids, Geo. ". Baker and
Clarence Warren. The returned soldiers,
head of the procession, followed by the Off
csrs, Chaplain, Reader and Speaker. Next
came thirty-six young ladies in white, beau
tifully apparelled, wearing each the cap of
liberty, and all representing our glorious
Union of States. The schools were next IN
order, and the citizens Of the County, making
nearly if not quite thousand followers in
the train, which proceeded to the grove des-
iguated for the ceremonies of the day, head
ed by martial and band music. The day was
all that could be desired-cool, grounds dry,
and all tended to make the occasion agreea-
BILE to all in attendance. After the excer-
cises at the stand, the procession marched to
the table, where a sumptuous repast had been
provided by the many excellent ladies of the
town, A refreshing repast was furnished for
the soldier boys, who appreciated the edibles
and the kindness that prompted the act
A sham skirmish, which, though not com
piete, fully illustrated how the thing was
done, completed the progl anime Of the day,
| after which the procession marched to the
place Of forming, and were mustered out by
the Marshal. Two dances completed the
day, and wound up the bobbin of July 4th,
