The Close or Anniversary Wee.


The heavy rsinstOrms Of the past fs days
would have informed the public, even Id the
newspapers been silent. that this was sniver-
sary week. The strange faces of pious arsons
upon bur streets would have c0nveed the
same pleasing information. The noisof dis
churches would have suggested the sac idea.
But this is Saturday, and anniversaryYeek IL

the metropolis TO whip the devil rnd the
stump in rural regions, and New Irk will

disturbed until this time next year.

TIE RAN SToNEwALL IN AMERICAN WATERs.-
II will be seen by the interesting letter OF
our correspondent at Nassau, N. p, that the
iroa-clsd ram Stonewall was in that port on
the 9th inst, and was visited and inspected
there by many persons curious in naval archi-
lecture, our correspondent with the rest Any
reliance upon the inability Of this ship 70 cross
the Atlantic would, therefore, have beens poor
defence for US. II Is shown by the letter re.
ferred to that even the most cxtravagant
European accounts Of this vessel did not ex-
aggerate her destructive powers, but that she
is, on the contrary, even more formidable than
those accounts represented her, and II 10, there
fore, hardly possible to overestimate the
damage that she might have done TO our
wooden ships or perhaps even In the ports Of
our Northern cities, had she come upon the
scene some months earlier.
But the war lie over. The members Of the
rebol government are fugitves, the rebel gene

YANKEE GOVERNMENT m SOUTHERN Cries.
The Southern people have entertained, and
expressed very freely during the war, many
contemplate opinions of what they called the
" miserable Yankees;" but IL is quite probable
that by this time they have learned that these
Yankees understand how to do one thing well,
and that Is to keep cities clean and healthy.
When we took possession Of New Orleans q
thorough system Of police and street cleaning
was at once established, and in Q short time II
became one Of the cleanest and handsomest
cities In the country. The consequence IL that
the yellow fever, which was heretofore o
biennial scourge in that region, has never
appeared there since. We understand that
similar measures are being adopted In Rich
mond, Charleston, Savannah, Wilmington and
other cities; and II the officers In command at
those places do their duty in this respect as
well as II was done in New Orleans they will
all become models Of cleanliness and public
health, which they never were at any time, and
which, of course, they could still lees boast TO
be while they were immersed in the filth conse-
quent upon their recent condition during the
war. The inhabitants will find, when dirt and
disease are banished from among them, that
the "Yankeesn know how to govern their cities
on sanitary principles better than they do
themselves; and when they observe the streets
blossoming like the rose they may not regard
their presence with as much III favor as they
wero disposed 10 do fhv months ago.

TRAVEL TO EURoPE.--It appears that the
travel to Europe this summer will be something
extraordinary. We understand that the State
Department issued seven hundred passports to
travellers last month, and over three hun
dred for the past twelve days Of the current
month While thousands of people who intend
TO become permanent residents Of the United
States are on their way from Europe, thousands
of those who 60 to the other side Of the Atlantic
merely for recreation and sightseeing are on
the wing from this country. For the past few
years the annual pilgrims to Europe did not
care much to pay their usual visit, for Ameri-
cans were rather looked down upon there, but
now they go, representing great tree and
powerful country, with all the pride which an
ancient Roman felt when he was wont to pro-
claim wherever he went, ~ am Roman citi-

George Thompson, Miss Anna Dickinson and

did not show to much advantage in this elo-
quent company. She wanted her little tripod
all to herself in order to be successful. Singu-
larry enough, the most interesting debate
was upon the question whether or not
the society should disband. Mr.. Garrison, true
to his abolition principles, wished to abolish
the society, and took the ground that Its work
was accomplished, and that 1t could not raise
any more money. To these very practical views
Mr.. Phillips was opposed, for no other reason
that we could discover than that hefconsidered
1t his duty to oppose everything, and especially
everything practical So it was decided that
although slavery is abolished, ant-slavery shall
not be; and the society now call for funds to
enable them to combat an evil which does not
exist We expect to find them, with the
other societies, unions, reunions and missions,
as hungry as ever and as noisy as ever, next
year. When such nuisances once fasten them
selves upon the public it requires miracle to
shake them or How much good they are
likely to effect In their several spheres may be
judged from the fact that after enduring this
concentration Of clergymen for week New
York is not bit better than before. The
small tornado Of Thursday night, caused doubt
less by the repeated blowing of the clerical
bellowa Is the only result the anniversaries
have achieved this year.
