LEXINGTON OF THE SEAS.

The echoes OF the guns fired at Con-
cord and Lexington on the 10Th OF April
reverberated through Massachusetts,, and
were heard in Maine about The beginning
o' May. Among the pineries aud hem j..
lock groves OF that State were scattered
here and there the rough log houses OF
the settlers, and on the sea coasts. the
cabins OF The hardy fishermen. whose
lives were a perpetual battle with the
winds and waves. 4 sprinkling OF viii
lagos dotted the coasts. within whose
barJors the fishing vessels found sale
and ready anchorage, and were visited
frequently by Fnglish trading vessels,
and occasionally by sloop OF war. Day
by DAY the fishermen lived by the pro-
due, OF their nets. and The industrious aX

selves, with their strong arms, homes
where they might rest in their declining
wears. and which their posterity might
enjoy They were OF different national
tiles and OF different creeds. Some were
the descendants OF the first Irish and
English settlers of Massachusetts, and
others had come direct from The Lee or
the Shannon to cast their destinies among
the forests ol Maine. As the woods fell
before their strength, and The smoke OF
their cabins rose above the cleagings.
these men ceased to regret The lands they
had lel, behind. and love for their new
land and their new homes stole insensibly
into their hearts.

America was strongly contrasied with
the abec slavery in which their class
was held in Europe. where kings and
tyranls and petty landlords ground them
to the dust, and exeI cised over them
bIshtiug aud despOtic sway. And so
these settlers on our northern coasts were
content to live peaceably with the world
and live out their allotted ume IN the
homes they themselves had raised. But
rumors became rite of political changes
and discomfort in the other colonies, es
nscial'y in Massachusetts,. Rumors OF
kinc|y encloachmenls and high handed
tyranny perpelTaied in other parts
against the rights OF the colonies were
spread amongst them. and the settlers

THE Jackson Clarion tells Us that
Ex-Governor Whitfield WAS buried
with the rites Of The ancient snd hon
orable order Of the Masonic brother
hood. He was born in Ebert county,
Georgia, December IS, 1871, and had,
therefore, reached the ripe OLD age Of
eigh.y-fouT years. He served his day
and generation faithfully. In all the
relations OF life he was exemplary and
faithful and true. He bore his part
in the war Of 1872, ard when he
came to reside in Mississippi he
was called by the people to serve them
in both branches of the legislature, and
for time in the executive office, in vir-
tue Of his position as president Of the
senate. his death has severed another
link which connected the memories of
the glorious past WITH the realities of the
present and the hopes Of the future.
