Yesterday was a gala day in this" old Revolu tionary, city, and as 'the ; bells rung out on the clear ' morning air, fol lowed by the boom of the artillery salute, a stranger here, not totally unacquainted with North Carolina history, would haver? imagined that the old "Hornet's Nest" had emptied its , occupants once more. The stated programme was carried out in its fullest extent, and the hearts of all who listened to the read ing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence doubtless responded as warmly to the sentiments of free dom from oppression as did those of the sturdy patriots who had the will and the courage to defy one hundred and four years ago iheir kingly ruler. The exercises were two lengthy to telegraph today, but I will send a fuH report as soon as possible, lne oration by Hon. Wm. M.

He fell near the side gate of the Raleigh Na tional Bank, when Mr. Flemming left. Help was summoned, and Mr. Blake was escorted to the guard house, where he was laid on a couch and medical aid sent for. His family were communicated with, and he was taken in a carriage to his mother's home, where he now lies in a very critical condition.

Many a sad expression of "poor little boys," has been made, and many a tear shed over their memory. , Goldsboro Messenger: The bot tom appears to have fallen cleaa out of our town Democracy. The Commissioners of the town, met Tuesday night, when Mr. J. H. Robinson, a Republican, was elected Commissioner in the place of J. M. Swar ingen, resigned.

The memorial ' Services Yesterday j r - Address of Rot. E, A. Yates. The little town of Smithville wast filled with people yesterday on the occasion of the memorial services and dedication of the monument' to the lost Smithville- pilots.' i The excursion party frbm. this city was un- usually large. ,We lay? before our readers the following special report, kindly fur nished us by one of the party; Ji '- " At twenty minutes past nine f yesterday ' tnornlng the steamer Pa&port cast off her lines, bearing the excursion to Smithville on the occasion of the memorial services to the lost pilots. On board were some 180 or 200 persons, from the gray-haired sire to the laughing 1. child I We noted particularly among those present Commissioners of Na vigation Jas. H. Chadbourn, D. G.' Worth, Donald McRae'and George M. Crapon, and Captain Joseph Price, bur worthy and effi cient Harbor Master, and ex-Congressman A.M. Waddell. ' M-.tr.i y'rr" . As the Possporf steamed swifdy down the riyer all seemed in a quiet enjoyment, cot one of hilarity, but there was a bearing be coming the occasion to which we were fast hastening, for who could help thinking of the brave men who sleep ,'neath the deep blue Bea, with nought but the sea-weed for a winding sheet and the ocean for tkeir coffin. - ' 1 " ,. Arriving at Smithville at 12 o'clock we found the shipping with colors at half-mast, and the Committee of Pilots in waiting for the orator and the Commissioners of Navi gation, who immediately repaired to the Cemetery, where a stand had been erected for them and the choir, the latter belong ing to the Front Street M. E. church, and were present by special invitation.' The services were opened by the choir in a beautiful song- appropriate to the oc casion, led by Mr& S. O. Poisson, as so prano and organist, who was well sus tained in all the other parts. The ode was "Peace, be Still," the words running as follows: "Loudly roared the wind and fearful was the gales Dashing up the waves across the ship so frail," &c. , .. Following this was an appropriate prayer by Rev. H. F. Wily, of Smithville, after which the choir again sang an inspiring piece, "Jesus Our Shelter." "When through the torn -sails the wild tempest is streaming, When o'er the dark waves the red lightning is gleaming," &c, Each verse closing with "Save, Lord, or we Perish." Dr. W. G. Curtis, who was charged with the duty of introducing the orator of the oceasion, delivered a chaste and elegant address, referring in fitting terms to tho brave men whoad habitually perilled and finally lost their lives in the sacred dis charge of duty, i ; ' Rev. Mr. Yates coming forward, then delivered one of, the finest addresses we have ever heard, shoving how fully he is equal to any occasion. We cannot; of course, in this notice, give anything like an adequate idea of his address. The speaker began by referring, by name, to the lost pilots; said that men engaged in their occu pation, "going down to the sea in ships,", were proverbially generous and coble hearted; these brave men lost their, lives iu the discharge of their, duty, piloting others to a refuge and. haven. The sea gives' such expressions of the Infinite that those whose lot in life it is to "do business in great waters," in coming ia contact -with the rougher and - grander v elements j of Nature, have their souls opened in the direction of a care and sympathy for others that is at once a duty and sublimity: of humanity.' He also discussed the myste riousness and goodness of the Providence in' the ' loss of - those' courageous 1 men; also spoke in a feeling manner' of the widows and orphans of the deceased. - The speaker then discussed the subject in the light of the general philosophy of revela-i tion ; said that nature revealed the existence olGod, but that the soul in trouble needed and required more: than this;7, quoted the words of St. Augustine, and -' 'Plato dis coursed tome the living God, but Jesus Christ showed me the way to him." .' AH this gives some expression of God's grand- oess, but then turning to Calvary, in this was the glorious sun-glass that gathered all the rays Of God's ..goodness and - poured, them down upon a world of suffering ; and sorrow., ' He next alluded to the' ' sudden ness of the calamity,; and the ' painful cir cumstances under which those brave 4 men met their fate, and draw a lesson valuable- to the living. . In conclusion he' spoke of the propriety of rearing the monument, and said it ought to stand and shine and tell to coming generations of the heroism of those who in the discharge of duty lost their own lives, and then urgeit upon, the audience not to forget the widow and; orphan, but to raise . a monument viq their r.hearts. that should stand - when ' marble through the ages that are comiog should; crumble into dust. jjiioliicatjiH &oii j rJi'JT. ii At the dose 01 tne aauress me cnoirsang VThe Sweet Bye and rBye,tf which had; a deep effect j upon the audience, drawing tears frern'many a m'anlyei;''.!.. s A description of this' monument "erected by the pilots and citiie'ens has already been given in this paper. ; It is exceedingly ceat and J the Ihscriptidns " appropriate The monument was draped heavily with' ever- greens aii jlpweri extreme sum mit a wreath of pure white flowers were hung, while suspended .at the side, was an anchor of evergreens and flowers. - Every thing was arranged with :kreatStaste, ndi the services 'listened to ; by; probably r the largest assemblage ever congregated "in Smithyille. a t n . t'-1 - " s i At 4 o'clock the Passport left for the city, WHOLE NO.
