CESTENNIALs on BATTLES. - The cen
tennial beacons which We're lighted at
Concord and Lexington on the 18Th uIt..
will circulate and blaze for several years
TO come, the dates Of all the battles OF
falling between April 10.
l715, and October 10, 1871, the latter
marking the surrender of CORVALLIS. at
Yorktown, and being the virtual close of .
the revolution. These battles were
fought in New York, Vermont. Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey. Pennsylvania. /
Virginia, Georgia, and North and South /
Carolina; and each OF these States will /
celebrate its respective centennial. That !
OF Concord and Lexington was truly a ,
national celebration, at which everything /
that was said and done tended to kindle |
again the embers of love and devotion TO |
the whole country, and where North |
and South stood side by side |
and arm in arm. A similar cele- !
bration will take place on the 10Th of /
this month at Charlotte, Meckenburg
county, North Carolina. The day will |
be generally observed throughout the old
North State as holiday. At Charlotte
they are making ready for large crowd,
though the people are poorer and the
means of travelling less than in Massa-
chusetts. General Joseph Z. johnson,
who surrendered to General Sherman,
will be Chief Marshal, and John Kerr,
one of the best speakers in the State, will
act as orator of the day. II is hoped to
produce some S25, 900 by donations to
cover the expenses. Then comes Bunker
Hill, on the 18th of next month, for the
celebration of which great preparations
are making, $50, 900 having been appro-
priated by the Boston Board of Alder
men S. f. Call.
Louisa Alcott gives an amusing ac-
count of the Concord Centennial.
Speaking of the falling of the platform.
she says:
What might be called " the Centennial
Break Down" began. The President
went first-was it an omen?-and took
refuge among the women, who, | am
happy to say, received him kindly and
tried to temper the wind To His Imper-
turbability, as he sat among them look
ing so bored that longed to offer him a
cigar The other gentleman stood by the
ship, which greatly diversified the per-
formances by slowly sinking with all on
board but the Captain. Even the orator
tottered on the brink Of ruin more than
once, and bis table would have gone over
if woman had not held up one leg of it
for an hour or so. No light task, she
told me afterward, for when the inspired
gentleman gave an impressive thump, it
took both hands TO sustain the weight of
his eloquence. Another lady was pinned
down by the beams falling on her skirts,
but cheerfully sacrificed them, and sat
still, till the departure of the Presi-
Dental party allowed us to set her free.

The Portland Bulletin says about sever
hundred men have already gone up t
the Cnssiar mines this Spring, which i,
probably about half the number that will
90 there this season. 1t is not expected
there will be any rush. Last year abou
half million of gold was taken out. an,
it is believed that double that amour
will be taken out this year. Last yea
many claims were not opened until late
and but little taken out which are ex
pected to pay better this year.
