Celebrating the Anniver-

BosToS. june 1.-THE first feature of marked
interest was the review OF the entire body of the
militia by Governor CASTOR and the invited guesti
Of the state and city. Gen u. f. Butler com
maDded. The review of the state troops was well
received, but genuine enthusiasm was reserved for
the visiting sOldiery. The review lasted an honr
and half 1t is estimated that twenty thousand
troops We're in the line. Ine military division OF
ne procession was two honrs in passing the State
amy time by the State Militia
Among the distinguished guests were members
O. Ine dipiSnlatic corps. Vice President Wilson,
eioverhor, congressman and Senators from
Maine and Massachusetts,, and the Governors OF
New Hampshire. Rhode island, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Pennsyivania, Michigan and Missis-
sipp.
The Ninth Division represented the trade and
business of the city. Altogether il contained over
lo0 wagons. The brewers had one hundred teams
ia line.
The procession was five hours and ten minutes
IN passing given point, and was estimated 10 be
ten miles long.
The decorations along the route were elaborate,
both in private and public houses, especially in
those Of historic interest. like Faneuil Hall and
the State House. At the crossing of the old
bridge into the Charlestown District the the pro-
SSession passe, under triunphn arch, bearing the
honored names Prescott, Knowlton, Stark and
Pomeroy, the heroes of Bunker Hill.

Darkness caused an abrupt termination of the

LOUISIANA.

New ORLEANS, June 16.-The Gal
weston Ne,cs Brownsville special says
that the news from Mexico shows q
revolutionary spirit prevailing. 1t is
now believed that Gen. Faro will not
come to the frontier. The body of
McMahon school teacher was found
near Mesquite Parish, Sunday. The
head, arms, and legs were severed from
the body. One of the raiders who was
killed by McNeely's men had on Nc
Mahon's clothes !; this fact will be es-
tablisbed by affidavits. The result of
McNeely's fight is thirteen Mexicans
killed and one wounded. 1t appears
upon investigation that McNeely's
company is encamped near a point
where the railroad crosses Rcsaca de
iAafaiena. Cortinas followers are
very mad at the defeat Of the raiders
BY McNeely, and swear they will have
three for one. Some of the recaptured
cattle belong to men living more than
two hundred miles from the Rio
Grande. The stock in Western Texas
is very much scattered for want of at
tention, herdsmen fearing the Mexican
raiders. The reported fight between
Rancheros and the cattle thieves and
the killing Of Capt. Foyles by Corti-
mas forces was not verified.

Resolped, That we have undiminished

administration, In the fullest recognition Of
his illustTious career In tho military and
civil service, and In condemnation Of that
rancorous party spirit which prompts his
and our enemies to an unconsiderod aud un-
great predecessors, Washington, Jackson
and Lincoln, were subjected during their
administrations.
Resolved, That the letter addressed by
the President to the chairman OF the Penn
sylvania Republican State Convention upon
the subject Of his succession is full refuta.
ton Of the slanders Of those who charged
him with intriguing for reelection; that
we accept IL a. explicit to final settlement
Of the third term agitation created by ouI
enemies solely to arouse jealousies and dis
sensions In tho Republican party.
Resolved, That the freedom Of the State

STILL ANOTHER.
Misfortunes Neve: Come
Singly.
The Accident last night Caus-
ed by track Settling and
Spreading.
One Man Smothercd.

After writing up tho account OF the
accident yesterday, wo expressed the
hope we should not be called upon
soon to chronicle another accident for
some time to come but the ink was
hardly dry on our paper until report
Was being circulated through the city
that the same road had again drew an
nnlucky card, and that this time ALEC
the grim messenger of doath lowered
over the wreck. The accident, it APP
pears, was caused by the wet weather
Tho rain Bettling on the track--on a
fill, causing it to spread, and thereby
tumbling nine cars down tho bank in
to the valley below. The scene of the
accident was about two miles east of
Lucas. and few miles from Charlton
at the foot of White Breast grade
Nine cars were thrown Off the EN- bank
ment. However, the engine crossed
in safety, and left some cars still on the
track in the rear.
At tho time of the accident it was
supposed that there was no loss of life,
but when the train men camo to open
box car loaded with shelled corn to
let it run out, the dead body of a man
was found in the corn where he had
been smothered. We understand that
the train men knew nothing Of his
presence, until they found the body
lie was stranger to every person on
the train, and the general supposition
Is that he was riding in that way to
save paying fare, None of the men
belonging to the train were injured.

Committee.

State Register The Secretary of
War. although doing his duty sternly
large, finds room In his good heart for
q special love for the boys Of his State,
and for Especial pride In their merits
and worth. In the New York 1ri-
bune's report OF the West Point exam.
ination now in progress, we find the
following stray item illustrative Of this
interest and pride.
Tho first week Of the West Point
examinations was marked by sncces-
sion of pleasant and, for the most part,
cool days. To-day, however it is
stormy. In consequence of the threat
ening weather tho number of visitors
has not increased, and the dullness OF
the season 10 not enlivened by tho
presence Of the usual crowd Of ladies
to which the cadets, In their close con-
finement. have looked forward during
the months Of study. Last evening q
pleasant change from the ordinary
rontine of cadet life occurred to those
who are nativee Of lows. They were
invited by Secretary Belknap to the
parlors of the hotel, where thcy pass.
ed few hours In social company, q
privilege not often given to the cadets
Gen. Baker, of Iowa, who Is the wit ol
the board Of visitors, was present, and
related a number Of amusing anec
dotes to the great delight OF all the
company"
This was very graceful act on The
part of q man in high position, In re-
cognition OF the boys Of his homt
State. We venture that the boys had
. time with Secretary Belknap and
Gen. Baker they win long and gladly
remember.

II desire to see q speedy healing Of
all bitterness OF feeling between Sec
tions, parties, or races of citizens, and
the time when the title of citizen car
ries with it all the protection and
privilege to the humblest that it does
to the MIDST exalted" - President
Grant, June 10, 1872.
This Is one of the important things
for which the Republican party should
live. The party has already made the
statusry provision, for the protection of
every citizen, but In practice the law
is not observed, especially in the south
half Of the Union, and indeed in some
portions Of the north, by the same
class OF people who rebelled, and those
who sypathized with them. 1t never
will be observed unless the Republi-
can party support and sustain it.

ON the War.Pailn.

New YORK, June 1.-THE Calves
ton Ne,cs San Antonia special says !:
Five robbers of Lion Spring last
Sunday proceeded to Cautort and
took two horses, and passed through
kcerville about noon on Monday,
taking two more horses. Capt. Schri-
ner of keerville assembled q few men
of his former minute company and
gave chase, and came up with them
forty miles above Kecrville, and de-
maIded surrender. Tho robbers re
piled by firing at the minute and then
took to the brush on foot, leaving their
horses. Schriners men also fired
wounding one robber and killing one
horse. They captured ten horses.
The wounded man ia said to be NOR
tally wounded. The minute men ex-
press confidence in catching the bal
ance of the robbers.

Trade Prospects ana the Crops.

After commenting upon the gloomy
past, and disappointing present, the
New York Times remarks that the
prospects for tho last half of the year
arc decidedly encouraging. Tho har-
vest of cereals will unquestionably be
good, after all deductions have been
made on the score OF the short yield of
certain localities. The South may not
grow more than an average cotton
crop, but IL has taken one very es-
sential step toward renewed prosperi-
ty by devoting great deal moro land
than usual to food crops. There secms
no reason to doubt that, taking the
country as a whole, the wealth ex-
tracted from the soil this year will be
greater than it has ever been. Even if
its nominal value be less, the purchas-
ing power will be greater, and that is
the ultimate test of tho riches Of the
country. During the last two years
there has been wiped out good deal
of fictitious capital, with tho inevitable
rcsnlt of giving credit serious shock
and causing a great deal of distress.
Our future growth depends moro up-
on tho solid increase of the country'a
wealth, and less upon the mortgaging
of the future than it has recently done
