SAGE OF THE DEBT BILL.
The news of the passage Of the compro-
mise bill, which reached here late Monday
evening, was received by the people OF Staun'
ton with the most enthusiastic demonstra-
ton. At night the delight found expression
in prolonged cheering, Examinations, can
nonnading and a profuse discharge Of rock
cts and fire crackers. About ten O'Clock
the Stonewall Band turned out, and accom-
panied by the West Augusta Guards and a
large crowd, marched to the American Ho-
tel, where serenade was rendered Senators
Brooke, Phlegar and Koiner, to which those
gentlemen responded in appropriate adj
dresses. They were introduced in handsome
style by H. st. George Tucker. and each OF
them delivered speech we'll suited to the
occasion. When they had finished, the
Guards fired salutes, the cannon OF the
Staunton Artillery doomed, rockets were
sent up, tar barrels set ablaze, and general
enthusiasm prevailed. It was the first oc>
casion for long time that Staunton's lung
power has had an opportunity to escape,
and when the safety valve was opened, it
burst forth with old time fervor. Until far
into the night the voice Of the patriot was
heard on the street.
