THETURSERs.-This portion of our German
citizens had a celebration yesterday. A. an
early hour in the forenoon they formed in
procession and marched through the prinei.
pal streets. HURsr's excellent Brass Band
was at the head of the procession and treated
our public to fine free concert. Then came
q body of Turner's and following them car
riages and wagons, gaily decked with flowers
and evergreens, and filled with ladies and
yonng girls, the latter dressed in white and
brilliant with sashes and ribbons. The affair
was one of the most attractive demonstrations
we have seen in the city.
The Politicians proceeded to Otley's
grove, the thsater of their days jubilation ;
returning in the evening the celebration closed
with a Ball at Burrows Hall, which passed
of, we learn, to the thorough satisfaction Of
all participating.
AN IMPARTIAL VrEw.-The editor Of the
Memphis Rerielle has just returned from o
visit Of several days in our city aud dis
courseth thus:
KEoKuK, Iowa.
An examination such as we have had dur
ing the past ten days will serve to convince
any one of the enormous tIade this city is
now able to command, and clearly proves the
important position it holds as the great COM
mercial metropolis of the Des Nome Valley
and North East Missouri. That Keokuk is
destined to become one among the first cities
of the West there is little room TO doubt; and,
situated as It is at the foot Of the great MIS-
sissippi Rapids, with its railroads already
stretching in every direction, who can doubt
the brightness of the future that lies before
it. Its leading business houses and firms are
realizing the important position they are
masters Of, and are every year adding to their
various branches of trade, and preparing
themselves for the great annual increase OF
business which surely awaits them. There
Is not another city in Iowa, or perhaps in the
Western States. with the same advantages
that keokuk has. Its business is done upon
cash basis, and its merchants, while hav.
ing little or nothing to fear from the psr;od;.
cal money crashes which visit our country
like other epiaemics, are able to offer TIE
mot liberal inducements to the trade. Con.
nected by rail and river with the Eastern.
Southern and foreian markets, their good
are received direct from the manufacturer
and importer, without the expense of re-
shipment or the per cent. Of successive
dealerf.

The Green Flag in Canada.

Tho Fouians of tho Roberts-Sweeny faction
have invaded Canada and como to grief. Tho
United States Government is throwing cvcry OBJ
staole in thsirsway. United S,ates Generals are
Sssehi s them all along the frontier ~, United
States war vessels are capturing their bafgss on
the lakes; USiisd States Marshals are nabbine

the Nov YORK Rnilroads, and the Taltgrapb!is no,
allowed to speak for them. Their lnilitaryicader
Genls swseny, has been arrested, and bailed in
twenty ,thopfspd dollars bond: Their 'ciyiIshsad,
President Roberts, hns'been seized aud impris-
oned III New York President johnson hasissued
a pr clamation agrinst them. Uncle Sumtgll
not have the nentrality laws violated!
But the invasion i. not yot quite over. Fcnans
are still on Canada soil in organized array. As
latc as last Saturday, Fcnian regiment fought q
hody Of British cavalry, and whipped them. But

THE FEs1AN MovENEST-Mr, Stephens,
the Irish Head Centre, addressed large Fe-
Man meeting in Philadelphia, on Thursday
evening last. He said:
In Ireland their organization was larger
and more powerful than any similar conspira.
cy that had ever existed in Europe or else
where. and would undoubtedly accomplish
the end for which it had been formed if tho
Irisbmen in this country did not disappoint
those at home. General Swceny, President
Roberts, and al others in favor of attacking
Canada would not he safe for six hours in
Ireland, where it was absolutely necessary
that fighting should take place this Year, or
the organization would dissolve, never again
to be reunited.
In Ireland there were really $4,000 Irish
men, brave, traioed and disciplined, and go.
600 men were partially tr,iued, and 10000
more bad been sworn INTO the order. They
were. all unarmed, or they wonld never have
been so qaiesunder the expressions Of the
English Had tie. arms they could free
their land within month. Last year they
did mt. need a single man from. this country,
except an able general with perhaps dozen
brigadiers. He would guarantee, within six
weeks, to import arms for 100000 men into
Ireland, in spite OF the Dublin feet, il he had
the funds 10 procure them.
During the delivery of bis address he was
loudly aud frequently applauded.

try of the "Church of the Holy Trinity" OF

temporarily separated by the exigonces of cruel
war held meeting, and adopted unanimously
the following Preamble and Resolutions:
WHEREAS, 1t having pleased an al-wse God,
in lis inscruable Providence, to remove from the
sphere Of his usefulness, our late Rector the Rev
ARTHUR WIarALt, while bOwing as Christians in
humble submission to this sore aispensation, we
cannot but az men, grievously lament the luss ot
oue who in all respects cared hoth for our bodily
and spiritual welfare; one who was genial COM
panion,-a wise and delicate counsellor,-a mag
unanimous opponent,-an aaectionate, Lnr candid
friend,-a high-toned gentleman,--a useful aud
selcmcri6cing citizen,-a true patricia reliable
and honest man,-a Thoughtful, nm active and
yigilant Pastor, and sincere, an humble, anu u
devout Christian, one who in all the rrlalinhs of
life, in the most exemplary manner, manifested
his faith by his works.
Resolred, therefore, That in the death of the
Rev. ARTHUR WIaFALL. who in few short years,
in. the most unprecedented manner, rendered hini-
self material part of all that pertained to u,
this Church and tbs community have suffered
oas not to be repaired in our generation.
Resolced, That we sincerely condole, andre
specially ask to be allowed To mingls our tears,
with those who by the ties of blood have been
more intimately connected with the deceased.
Pesolred, That copies of these proceeding be
published in the Charleston papers, and in the
Edgefeld Advertiser, and thst the Chairman on
dorSe one also to the widow and family of the
deceased.
