THE TwENTY-sECOND OF FEB.
RUARY.

Tomorrow will be the n hundred
and forty-third anniversary Of thu
birthday of GEORGE WASHINGTON
By the laws of this State, the day Il
declared q legal holiday; but, as it il
an invariable rule of this journal to af
ford its employees a Sundays rest, anc
as the interests Of our subscribers for.
bid a two days intermission, we have
concluded to publish the paper as
usual on Tuesday and notice to-day
the recurrence cfthe natal day Of the
Father of his Country.
This is a skeptical age. The tests Of
investigation and reason have been
applied to many names great in his
tory, and the heroes and demons Of
popular opinion have been made to
appear in their true light. Elizabeth
is no longer the lion-hearted ruler OF
her island kingdom, the defender OF
the Protestant faith; but a frivolous
coquette, great only in her position
and by her surroundings. Richard is
no longer the hump-backed savage
and tyrant that Shakespeare paints;
but a wise statesman, a fearless SOL
dier, a great and just king. Our con-
ceptions of Henry ", of Cromwell, of
Mary Stuart, of Napoleon, of Lucretia
Borgia, of many others whose charat-
ters for good or i'll had thirty years
ago seemed fixed beyond a possibility
of denial, have, in the light of the evil
dence discovered by painstaking re-
search, of late undergone a great
change. TO no individual in history
has this character of scrutiny been
more closely applied than to Washing
ton. B~iographers, historians and poll
ticians have ransacked garnet and Sec
rotary where material could be found,
and every page of his life, from the
cradle to the grave, is spread open TO
us. We know him better than our
fathers knew him, in youth and in
age, in poverty and wealth, in the
depths of despair and at the summit
Of moral and political greatness; and
the more intimate our knowledge, the
greater become our admiration and our
respect. Without the brilliancy of
Caesar, the military genius of Napo-
leon, or the great and stern qualities
that go to make such rulers of men and
founders of empires as Cromwell and
Peter of Russia, Washington was pos
sessed of an of temper, all
unerring judgment and a fearless
heart, that eminentlv qualified him to
lead a law-abiding, God fearing peo-
pie through the horrors of a seven
years struggle for freedom, and to
preside over the destinies of the young
nation, that freedom once established.
The light of his example, ever clear
yet ever growing in brilliancy, IL
lumines the path of our future; and
misfortune will surely tall upon this
this nation II, deceived by sectional
cries or the false demands of temper
airy expedients, it go astray from that
path into the region of outer darkness.

Memphis, May 24.-Business was
suspended to-day in observation of the
memorial services at Elmwood. Since
eight O'Clock this morning, the streets
have been crowded with people. The
procession was the largest ever seen
here, except, perhaps, at the funeral
services of Gen. Lee. EX-federal SOL
diers have, almost to n man, turned
out, and in the ranks are seen tattered
battle flags of both the federal and
confederate armies. At no time since
the close of the war has there been
seen. such genuine intermingling of
blue and grey rs was presented here
to-day.

A Lackawana, Pa, dispatch says
that the rains of Friday night and
Saturday morning were not heavy
enough to wet the underbrush sutti-
GENTLY, and the fires broke out again
in several places on Sunday, and more
damage is threatened. But little is
actually known of the real amount of
destruction, as there are hundreds OF
isolated settlements and hundrds of
mills in counties where the fire has
been raging. Bears, deer, pigeons and
all kinds of game have been driven by
the fires on the Pocono Range into the
enclosures with the tame cattle, and
around the settlements. In the region
of LaCkawana, a hundred miles of
forest have been burned, and it is now
feared that the fire will gain headway
as the wood now standing is very
dry.
A Phillipsburg, Pa, dispatch states
that rain began to fall last night, re-
lieving the fears of the residents Of
that thickly wooded section.
At Osceola, yesterday, one thousand

The MOshannOn Railroad has been
sufficiently repaired to allow trains to

of the people is feed for such of their
cattle as have not been destroyed. All
the green food in the woods and fields
has been destroyed.
The Brooklyn court room was
crowded to-day, and Porter resumed
his argument for the defendant.

Washington, May 24.-The Court of
Claims, to-day, gave Judgment for
$3.50, 900, in gold, in favor of the Ma
tional Bank of Boston, which brought
suit to recover the sum from the
United States. The amount was paid
into the Sub-Treasury at Boston, to
cover the defalcation of HartwelI,
cashier, in 1857. The bank held that
the United States, having secured
the money through Hartwel's know
ledge and participation in the fraud,
could not hold it.

ment will pay no bills the Indians
may contract at that place.

its identity, and was ordered to stand

in about thirty-eight separate cases,
covering $500 bales, which, at the sum
ordered paid by the court, gives a total
OF nearly million dollals. Col. Robert

the late Stephen 4. Douglass, have
received an award for l457 bales of
cotton seized in Mississippi, contrary
to expectation.

Chicago, May PA Washington
special says the reason the Sioux
Chiefs, now in that city. changed
their hotels yesterday, was that the
fremont House, where they were
quartered, was temperance hotel,
aud the noble red men were deter
mined not to stay where they could
get no whisky. There is probability
that the stay of the Indians in Wash
ington will be prolonged a week or
two on account of the absence of Man
a Afraid-of-his-Horse without whom
Black Hills territory, it is believed,
would fail. The absent chief has been
telegraphed for.
Gen. Sherman's memoirs are Great
ing a decided sensation among the
army officers whose record in the late
war he is said to have criticised with
great freedom and considerable seve-
rity. Montgomery Blair is out in a
letter defending his brother, General
Frank p. Blair, against Sherman's
aspersions, and attacking Sherman
himself 1t is stated that Sherman
has been offered $4,000, by the APP
pletons, for the copyright of his
book.
The Rne weather OF the past ten
days and likeliness of its continu-
ance, together with the final failure Of
the grasshopper crop, had the effect to
badly break the market for corn and
wheat, to-day, causing great excite
ment. Corn sold down from 20 cents
on Saturday, to 65! cents, and wheat
from 81 .Ol to O6I cents.

Mr. Waterbury, of Sumpter one OF

from an extended trip through the

enough FOR their OWL bread and Dos
sibIy few bushels to spare. In some
instances the acreage has been reduced
to one-thlrd of what it was last year.
In onr own county great reduction
has been made, though not to the ex.

the poor yield owing 10 the exhausted
condition of the land and the ravages

ed by plants, under his care, to which
no bees can possibly have access in the
Towering season january and on one
occasion he put as poser to Mr..

do you account for the fact that my
peaches, grapes and French pears get

there are no insects on the wing and

The philosopher was not "fixed" as
the innocent correspondent hoped,
but replied that Mr.. Pearson had not
seen bees because he had not watched
narrowly enough. Mr. Pearson has
watched closely ever since, and.thinks,

been so great in Paris that fourteen persons have
died from sunstroke.
The Turkish army has sustained q defeat in
Herzegovina which puts the Ottoman government
in a very grave position, the more so as the
Dalmatians and Montenegrins have joined the

New YORK, 18th Aug The Queens speech
on the propagation of the Parliamentary Session
was delivered to-day. Her Majesty in taking leave
ofParliament, announced that she continued to re-
ceive assurances of friendship from all foreign pow
ers, and was glad that a further step had been made
towards the abolition of the slave trade by the
recent convention concluded with the Sultan of
Zanzibar. The murder of the British Consular
Agent in Burmah was receiving her attention.
The state of the Colonies was prosperous. Ireland
was tranquil. Her Majesty hoped that the passing
Of the Merchants Slipping Bill would benefit her
subjects and be satisfactory to the maritime COM
munity. The finances of the country were in a
satisfactory state.
