| sary of tho Declaration OF Independence on
July ath, 177G, las oyor since boon celebrated
ns great national festival throughout tho
United States and wlicrorcr Americans aro nsscm-
| blcd over tho whole world. From 1Iaino 10 Orc
| gon, from the eroat Lakes to tho Gulf of Mexico
in every town and village this day has been ,ishcrcd
in with tho ringing of bells, tho firing OF cannon,
tho display of the national flag, and other evidences
| OF public rejoicing. national salute is fired at
\ sunrise. noon, and Mt sunset from every fort and
inan-of-war; tho troops md patriotic professions
parade tho stroUts, tho Declaration is road
aud Fourth OF July orations delivered.
This was Tho programme in tho past, but tho re-
cent war has materially changed tho public sonti-
mcnt regarding tho day. In Tho South thcro will
| probably bo few cities whcro tho fourth will re-
coivo tho samo obsorrnncos as woro customary
nix years ago. Tho present poverty OF tho coun-
Try and tho absoncc of tho militia displays, llavn
tended i'll groat measure to destroy tho old Gu
| thusiasm felt for tho fourth
Charleston will bo onlivonod on this occasion by
tho usual salutos, and by liberal display OF bunt-
| ing from tho public buildings and shipping,
though it has boon with great difficulty that suf-
ficicnt number OF flags couli bo obtained, as for
| somo years past they havo boon at n discount in
the South. There will be procession of different
nuciusira in tho morning, which, JulginH from tho
| published programme, will bo quito nn affair.
Tho greatest feature OF tho day, however, and
ono which will recall moro pleasing memories than
any other, will bo tho swoct sound OF st. Michaols
chimes, which arc 10 bo rung during tho day
Thero aro few persons who hayo not always assoc-
atcd tho day with tho sound of hoso bells and tho
music that will float in tho mir today will havo a
more powerful effect in rcconciIing as to tho pre-
sent than any display that could DO mado.
In the afternoon thoao parties who nro 30 dis
posed can lenyo tho city and visit tho dinoront
points OF interest In tho harbor. Tho Fannie
Capt. PECK, and tho 81. Helena Capt RUMLEr,
will mako excursion trips around tho harbor
These boats will DO woll supplied with music and
refreshments, and afford the passengers splou-
did opportunity to enjoy tho scenery and breathe
| tho fresh air.
Tho state Of tho thermometer will compel many
persons to exercise thoir ingenuity in trying 10
keep cool, and they can kill timo and inygorato
their heated systems by taking ices nt tho differ
| ont gardena. As holiday Tho day comes worry
opPortunely, and is welcomed by mono with moro
enthusiasm than by tho typos, who arc hard
working class and havo few seasons OF enjoyment
