Th Riilem-Wiuston brat ion of ;tlie

The primary objectof it, which was to hon
or the day, and keep alive the memories
of the revolutionary times of 177o, was
never more effectually accomplished. But
the design went beyond this: It reached
ack to the dikeovery. of America, and
to some of the more prominent incidents
of the early history of the country ; and
comlug forward, illustrated to some ex

Every part of
thia well-planned pro
gramme was beautifully executed. The
procession made a street pagantry of rare
attraction. Stalling at the south-eastern
end of Salem, it traversed the entire length
of the main street running through both
towns. The: side walks on either side
were packed with people. The crowd in
attendance on this occasion-was variously
estimated at from 12,000 to 20,000, em
bracing large "delegations from 10 differ
ent counties, and many from Virginia and
other distant parts. The marshals had
little trouble to keep order, nearly all ob'
serving the requirements of the day with
out com pulsion. There was no drunkeu-
ness, no disorder or confusion, no fighting
or rowdyisni ot any kind, and not an ac
cident to disturb the general hilarity o:
the occasion. - i
The Oration. by W. B. Glenn, Esq.
was a happy success as a broad, patriotic
and liberal embQuiraent of sentiment
thoroughly national "without a word o
sectionalism to! mar its symmetry. It
was listened to . with marked attention
auu eiicicea jieurry applause. It was
highly creditable to its author as a litera
ry production, anil was in exact ay m pa
thy with the popular mind. We made
notes of its more prominent points but
must forego the pleasure of a more ex
tended narrative.
At the end of the oration Mr. C. B
Watson came fohiard and invited all tho
Confederate soldiers to a barbacue. dinner
prepared for thehi by the liberality of the
people of Winston aud Salem. The in
vitation was mos ; cordially extended to
all Federal soldiers also. vThey7were re
quested to form iu line along the main
street under the j command of officers ap
pointed for the purpose, and were march

THe 4th at HcndersonTllIe. V
Editos Watch max : I had the pleas
ure and good fortune to be present at the
rtwo daj' meeting,? held op the .4th at
HendereoaviUe. commemorative I of the
complrtfon of the Spartanburg and Ashe
tille Rrilroad to that point, and our na
tal birthday. It was an occasion long to
be remembered by all present, as a more
enjoy aU and .pleasant occasion seldom
napnecs to any people tnese latter days
of bard times , and apprehension. The
committee to whom had been intrusted
the details did iltheir work io a way to
give universal satisfaction to the un
menso crowd' preseut from I Buncombe,
Transf lvama. Henderson.' I Polk, and
Kuiiieiroru, in is state, ano opananuurg
and UreenviJIe Districts, south Carolina.
The estimated namber was about 4,000,
and I think this not much wido of the
mark. The n amber of distinguished iu
dividuals was probably greater than ever
before graced the fair little city of Hen-
uersonviile, composed In part of the fol
following: Gov. Jarvw, Judge Fowle,
Geu. Ieach, Geu. Cliugnrnw, Gen. Vance,
Col. Dully (of the Patriot). Judge Shipp,
of this Stater Gov. Simpson, Ex-Gov.
Bouhain, Col. Yomaus, Col. Duncan. Col
Cameron, Col. Stokes, and other notables
of South Carolina : ,aud Ex-Gov. Senter,
Prof. Hnnter Nicholson, Judges Ineersol
and Moses,1 of Tennessee. ' '!
The exercises commenced by a speech
of welcome by Mr. Ewurt, of !Heudersou-
vule, respot:del 4 'to 'by 11. 1 J McAdeu, :
Charlotte, after which the vast crowd
was introduced to long aud heavily laden
tables, from which all ate to their hearts'
content of as fine a dinner as Conkl be set
iu North Carolina. Then came the "feast
of reason" by the best - speaking it has
been my fortune to hear iu years. First,
Gov. Jarvia was presented by Geii. Cliug-
nian in an mteix-sting and well delivered
speech!. The Governor's speech was
shorty but nevertheless interesting and to
the point welcoming the distinguished
straugers frum a distance to our State,
and asking their co-operation iu the com -
f-letiou of the great railroad route from
Charleston to Cincinnati. Iu concluding
he introduced Gov. Simpson, of South
Carolina, wlfo made us an eloquent and
sensible speech of some 30 minutes'
length, showiug the great interest the
whole Country, from Ohio to South Car
olina j had in the completion of this great
thoroughfare, aud closel with this elo
queu sentence, In my mind's eye I can
in the no distant future see the Iron
House leaving Charleston in i the early
morn and before the dew had dryed from
his mane he leaps the Allegtianies, and
ere the night fall he bathes his fetlocks
in the waters of the Ohio." Then came
Ex-Gbv. Senter, of Tennessee who told
us tbat hi borne was less than a hundred
miles distant from that point, but in or;
der to be present he had had to travel a
distance of 600 miles. He was deeply
concerned iu the work of the road and
promised that when the cars reached the
Tennessee line, a distance jtf some 60
miles, that he would insure us the com
pletion of the route through Kentucky to
the Ohio River. After this sensible aud
well timed talk, came the great speech of
the day by North Carol ina's greatest ora
tor, Daniel G. Fowle, of Raleigh. Before
he hadj spoken twenty words i yon could
see the crowd rising aud pressing to
wards the stand, aud before teu minutes
had elapsed there was not iu that large
audience an individual whose attention
was nojt riveted npon the rloqjuent speak
eif. Wjiaf shall Isayof thatsoulstirriug,
patriotic speech t To attempt to give
any correct idea of it would do 'him such
injustice that I shall not make the at
tempt. He spoke of our great govern -nient,
our great State and our great peo
ple in such burning words of eloquence
that the shouts and tears were simulta
neously brought from every listeuer. He
told u ot the interest he felt in the inter
nal improvement schemes of! every sec
tion of, the State, from Cherokee to Cur-rituckJ-that
his whole soul! had been
wrapped up in them iu the past, aud for
the future it should be the dcaiest and
most earnest work of his life to encoiir
nge and aid iu their completion ; that he
had been the friend and open advocate of
internal improvement when such matters
were unpopular in North Carolina. He
spoke Of the different; lines that pointed
from tlie broad Atlantic to the mountains,
aud especially the great Yadkin Valley
route, which was equal to our great Wes
tern North Carolina Railroad route, aud
would pen out one of the finest sections
iu the world to commerce and travel.
Hhv reference to the brave and noble peo
ple of the South who 'had aud were with
standing so mauy adversities for the sake
of peace and their love of law and con
stitutional government, was grand be
yond description how our brave soldiers
had shed their blood forTree government,
and how much honor should be paid to
their sacred ashes, on that the natal day
of free government, the principles of
which they laid down their lives to save,
aud how the fair daughteis of the South
should 1st lew tlowersjover their sacred
resting places. When he had concluded
a shout went np for Fowle which showed
he had charmed the ears and warmed to
ineltitigj nigh tlie hearts of every listener.
A gentleman asked us as the Judge left
the stand, what Governor was that that
had julst spoken, and when told that he
was Juuge Fowle, not" a Governor, he
said, Well, if he iano(a Governor he
ought to be, for die Jias. tho bigest soul
and is the finest speaker that ever spoke
io the State." So thought I but I must
n'urrvoh to others. Col. Tomans, Gen.
Lieach aud Ex-Gov. J3ouham then made
inost" excellent speeches showiug South
Caruili's great sympathy iu the enter
priseV f iThey were'followed by Col. Duu
can, President of tho road, aud Col. Fab.
Biisbee, of Raleigh, both of whom, altbo'
the suh kv'as'Tdstlsltikiug, held the crowd
to the ivej-y last. Ko such day. has been
witnessed iii" our mountains since the
war, and I feel'tretf assured that the peo
ple were so greatly aroused that tbe line
to Asheyille, most of wbiclt Was already
beeb graded, will be completed at' a very
early day. Wheu this aud 'other" lines
now in process of constructjou are com
pleted! Ashe ville may be reached by "rail
fromifour different directions, then
within; a few years, we will have, in my
opinion,

er was on shore. Simultaneously some of
the officers of the Vera Craz garrison at
tempted to raise a revolt at the instigation
of some discontented persons. Nine of the
relwls were killed. The steamer Labertad
went to sea. The war stcamei Independent
cia and other Ktenmers had goie in pursuit
and she will doubtless be overtaken. Ac
counts 6T events in Vera Cruz tire very con
flicting. The government has apparently
mastered the situation, but since the revolt
of the garrison a reign of terror has pre
vailed there. All the Vera Cr iz merchants
are hostile to the government in conse
quence of the' passage of the law against
contraband trade, and they haire ever since
been in a state of quasi revolt. It is gener
ally believed that the nine ruvolters who
were killed were assassinated in the guard
house on the pretext that they had attempt
ed to escape. v

ago the Memphis Avalunche contained a
paragraph stating that the name of Jeffer

The constitutionality of lairs prohibi
ting the sale ot liquors within certain
counties or localities and discriminating
in tuvor ox sellers of liquor manufactured
by themselves, was tested in the case of
the State vs. Joyner. The Supreme Court
decides that the Legislature is clearly
competent to pass such laws.
Another decision of the Supreme Court
is this : After the charter of a (corporation
has expired by its own limitation or other
wise, and no suit is brought against it
within three years thereafter j for the ap
pointment of a receiver, it ceases to be
liable for its debts and the subsidiary
liability of its stockholders also ceases.
