The Fourth Of July, coming on Sunday
was celebrated In Winchester with becom-
ing serenity and solcmnity. The holy
Sabbath Is n proper day on which to OBJ
serve the birth of those seminal principles
which compose the foundation Of Rcpub-
lican liberty. The mind Is free from the
usual undue excitement incident to the
celebration of the Fourth when it comes
on wcek-a-days, and can hence be brought
to bear In all s%oberness on the sublimity
of the event which occurred hihety-ninc
years ago, and its consequences, When
we thus take a calm retrospect of the
causes which eliminated in the publishing
to the world by our brave old ancestors of
the declarations which form the quintcs-
sence Of the natural, God-givcn rights Of
man, we are insensibly led to the conclu-
sion that that declaration was not only an
important epoch in the history of the thir-
teen American Colonies, but it was one of
the grandest epochs in the history of the
human race since the period ofthc AchTn
League. Its consequences may yctiesult
In the liberation of every branch of the
human race from the yoke of political
bondage, and the establishment through
out the civilized world of 4 Universal Re-
public. The people of France, after try
ing almost every form of Government,
have ut last adopted the Republican rs
that form most conducive to their welfare
and prosperity. Did any nation ever
prosper as she has since the establishment
of Il Republic? We think not. A spirit
Of liberalism, u deep under current of Re
publicanism exists in Great Britain and
superinduccd by the glorious
example of our political fabric; and If we
can only put down the rings, and gold
worshipers, and cleanse the Augean stable,
then our career Of prosperity will be as
rapid and rs great as that of France, and
international influence will be in
creased in the same ratio with our wealth.
God speed the day! May we be able to
celebrate the event Oh the next Fourth Of
July ut the Centennial!

According to announcement in last
weeks journal, Il meeting was held last
Monday at the Courthouse to consider the
proprietv, &c, of Tennessee, and more es-
p~ecial!y Franklin county, being repre-
sented at the Centennial Exhibition in
Philadelphia next year. The formal pro-
cccdings are stated in another column, to
which we direct attention. Speeches were
made by DR.. Jno. j. W. Payne, Capt. ii
Il. Moore and Hon. "A. S. Colyar, and il
does seem that after having heard them
the most bitterly-prejudiced would have
been converted. DIR. Payne's effort was
polished and manly. Capt. Moore's was
more or the practical style, and Mr.. Col
var made-we were about to say the best
talk of his life. Under all the circum-
stances we believe it was. Not oratorical,
but full of graceful, convincing language;
free from ponderous verbiagc, perfectly
appropriate, and delivered with ease and
power. Nothing but an absolute sparse
ness of space in our local columns this
week prevents Il resume of what he said,
and the other gentlemen also. But next
week we shall give a syllabus OF their re-
marks, and add such as we can in behalf of
this grand Centennial movement. We
are heartily for it in toto, and do not want
Il place assigned to Tennessee, or this
county, like unto that which is given Ma
rino FalicrO in the Hall of the Great COun-
ell of Yenlce-a blank.

Franklin county was the only county in
the State of Tennessee that made good
crops last year and had corr for sale. At
least, this was the case so far Il. we could
learn. While it is u fact our people should
not be iubilant over, and are not, never
theless it is q fact that should make us
profoundly grateful, and justities us in
urging our county rs one that should at
tract immigration. This year we will
make splendid crops. and we are glad to
hear that the whole State will. But for
certainty in this respect every year; tor
good water, healthy climate, educational
facilities, and beautiful scenery, we do in
sist that we stand ut the head, and that
this is the county for immigrants. Better
than Texas or California.

Rev. Ord. DitZler, Of Kentucky, preach
ed last evening (Tuesday,) at the NJ. f,
Church. The burden of his sermon was,
The History of the Bible, and most ably
did he present 1t. So deeply were we in
tercsted, and so greatly did we admire his
distinct and faululess articulation, and SO
much did we wonder at Il memory which
could retain, unaided by notes, a perfect
history of names and dates; and so APPLY
did he make them subservient to the sub
ject-matter, and so pure his diction that we
took mo note of time," and could hardly
believe he had preached considerably
more than one hour. Whether he proved
anything or not; whether guilty of any
anachrOnism or not: whether right or
wrong in his thcories-hc is a wonderfully
impressive speaker, and it is significant
that there was a crowded house to hear
him, despite the threatening weather, for,
lie had been heard Oncc before in our
town.
He will preach again tonight (Wednes-
day. upon The Mode of Baptism; the
philOlogy OF science of language involved
in this question; its photography and the
Use OF it in classic Greek and the ancient
versions, and the opinions of critics in all
ages on it. The fundamental principles
and arguments relied OF by immersionists
he proposes to fully and fairly present and
examine.
Sunday morning next his subject will
be "Christianity and Intideiity." The
merits and relative claims of each will be
examined in their bearing on civilization
and humanity.
We predict tor him crowded houses, and
We know that all intelligent people will
be Interested. We hope his effort will
prove an analeptic to many very sensible
people who are wavering just now in their
faith upon certain theological points that
come in conflict with the late develop
mcnts OF science and reason, as explained
by great minds.
Go to hear DIR. d. lie will not tire you,
if he should fail to convince. Though on
Iy about A years of age, he has evidently
squandered 10 time in enrichlng his mind
by study and travel.
