The green earth smiled iagladness, While danced the sun on high; And ne'er a cloud of sadness Obscured the beauteous sky! The streamlet sparkled brightly The smiling mead along; The birds of air woke lightly, Their sweet and varied song. The zephvr kissed each blossom, Wliich graced the verdant grove; nd o'er soft nature's bosom Bright heaven smuea. in iuve: ?,fan, man was joyless only, Where all in joy was dressed, f Tis soul was dark and lonely, Though earth and heaven were blessed! Then Woman rose in beauty, Her blessings to impart; To cheer his path of duty, And share with him his heart! She came in youthful gladness, Fresh as the almond bough, To chase the cloud of sadness, Which veiled his noble brow. She was the angel given, To guide man's erring way; To lead his foot to heaven, By love's delightful sway! Hail gentle woman's power! It is her vestal smile, Which glads the social hour Which doth the heart beguile. Without her smile to lighten, 1 Life were a wilderness, Without one ray to brighten Without one beam to bless! -Rhinebeck, May, 1324. CELEBRATION. Washington, July 7. The 48th Anniversary of Ameri can Independence was celebra ted in this city on Monday, with an enthusiasm and a display, which were never before wit nessed here. Fortunately for those who joined in the Proces sion, of which a faint sketch is attempted in the next column, the skr was overcast, so as to the s y ' . , ' save mem irom me ver u cai rays flL , , l j .i nf thR sun. which would other-1. wise have been very oppressive. Every thing; went off happily, without accident, or any thing occurring to leave a regret be hind. The usual salutes were fired from the Navy-Yard and Arse nal, at sunrise, meridian, and sunset, and rockets were fired in the evening from several posi tions. The Oration was delivered at the Capitol, in the presence of as many as could get admission into it, among whom were the President, with his Secretaries, the officers of the government generally, and the officers of the army and navy who are at pre sent in the City. After the Oration, the Presi dent received his friends and fellow-citizens at his mansion with that urbanity and cordiality for which he is distinguished. We are glad to observe that he was in excellent health, and in such spirits as the occasion was well calculated to awaken in 1 rC of one of the worthies of the Revolution. The citizens of Georgetown, Alexandria and the vicinity, vc1y &Ciuy nonored the city by their presence, and nothing htir mnr.nrd was . but concord WaS SPOn zy .:t" ocen among them. May it thus ever be a mong us! Nat. Int. PROCESSION. The Procession, on trm rkroa sion of tVip Anniversrxr ....

' At the head of itaopeared, on horseback,' the Marshal of the V&y, Col. Brear ley, who was distinguished, as were each of the other marshals, hv a crimson sash. He was ac companied by the assistant mar shals, Ch. JNeaie, .bsq. late may or of Alexandria, and Cant. Cor ccran of Georgetown. The fine band ci the Marine Corps came next, playing patriotic airs, and was loilowea by tnc ivianm Corns itself, in its beautiful uni form, which we have always ad- mired, as uniting elegance ana cirrmliAitTr ThP. OrdCHV Ser- uiuijjuwvj J ceants attached to the public of fices, followed the marine corps, and were succeeded ny me fipnrwtown rifle company, and several other uniformed corps whose names wc were unable to learn. Then came the plain and simple chariot of the President, where he sat, attended by Geo. Hay, Esq. An open landeau followed, in which were seated his Secretaries, Mr. Adams and Mr. Calhoun. Next to them came the Ministers of foreign rovernments resident here. Here also was the veteran sol dier General Stuart, in the uni form he has honored, and wear ing the sword he wore in the war of the Revolution, attended by the Committee of Arrange ments. These were iollowed by the Grand Lodge and the members of the several Masonic Lodges of the District, with proper officers, and distinguish ed by blue scarfs, with aprons, and the usual insignia of that an cient fraternity. After them came the President, Professors, and Students of the Columbian College; followed by the Wash ington Benevolent Society, with their large- green flag at their head, bearing a golden harp, and wearing a green ribbon at the breast. Next came the female scholars of the Academy of Mr. McLeod, to whom the city is greatly indebted for his active and efficient exertions to add brilliance to this spectacle. In , , 7 . a car drawn by an elegant crey J . , i ,J horse, was seated one of the young females appropriately at tired, with wreath, banner, &c. representing the Genius of Co lumbia. In another, drawn by two grey horses, were two young girls, representing, vve believe, Liberty and Indepen dence, with a copy of the De claration displayed, &c. &c. Then followed a beautiful caval cade of girls and young boys in uniform, &;. from the same A cademy. After them came boys from other schools, under their preceptors. A car appear cd next, the body of which was green, with white top and cur- staff bearing the national ban ner; the car, with another carri age, contained twenty-four vouncr ladies, representing the states of the Union, from the school of Mr. Tippey. Ihen followed the male scholars of Mr. T.'s school who walked in couples, hand in hand. The npvt. nart of the procession was the Typographical Society; at the head of which was seen that nalladium of our rights and our safety, a Free Press, arched over with evergreen, and surmounted hv the blue flag of the Society, with suitable emblems, and the motto, Let fire and water, and the arts, rnmhine. "And Printing spread o'er earth the gifts divine. As it proceeded, the press was worked by pressmen in uniiorm, and continued to throw off im pressions of the Declaration of independence, which were diS: tributed among the spectators, the white flag of the Society, representing . the Columbian Press, a fac simile of the seal of the Society, was borne by a member of the association. A crowd surrounded the press, and snatched the sheets as they were thrown to the wind. An object then appeared, which, by its picturesque appearance, at tracted all eyes; it was a smith's shop, upon wheels, containing a forge, and anvil, at which seve ral hands, dressed in white, were busily occupied, making their hammers ring, and urging the fire with a huge bellows; the sparks flew and the smoke roll ed, while the clank of the anvil mingled with the martial sounds of the band. The whole, being surmounted with the American colors, afforded no bad emblem of the hardy Industry which dis tinguishes, in peace, a people who have exhibited the most darinj courages in war. For this ingenious device we are in debted to the ingenuity and en terprize of that well-known arti zan, Mr. B. King. The Socie ty of Cordwainers was preceded, in like manner, by a car, exhib iting a company of the craft bu sily occupied in its several em ployments: and they were fol lowed by a company of our ope rativc masons and stonecutters, with a white flas: exhibiting an arch with appropriate support ers and mottoes. IVext came the hatters, with appropriate badsres and banner. On a sub stantial carriage, followed the marble capital of a Corinthian Column, elegantly carved; he ing one of those prepared for the portico of the Capitol, with workmen in the dress and atti tude of their business, followed by the members of the craft. This had a beautiful and stri king appearance, and was high ly ornamental to the procession. The association of plasterers fol- lovved, under a blue banner, and that of the house painters under a white flag. A party only of the proces sion could enter the Capitol; consisting of the Masonic Lodg es, and the Washington Benevo lent Society. The scene previous to the for mation of the procession was as nieturesouc and novel to this part of the ccuntrv, as the pro cession itself was imposing. On thft nacioiis nlain fronting the south of the President's House, one of the finest grounds in the world for such a parade, was a flflr-staff erected, from which a large National Standard proudly floated, rrevious 10 me iorma tion of the column, thousands unon thousands of the citizens gathered upon the ground, and promenaded around the different Societies as they marched on to it. The procession was formed with more facility than was ex pected, marched up 17th street, that is, west of the President's House and Public Offices, thence in front of the President's House where he and his Secretaries were received with the honors due to them, and thence along Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol. The doors, windows, trees, tops of houses and fences, were filled with multitudes of persons, principally of the fair sex, who cheered the exhibition by the expression of their ap probation. So succeeded we in the first civic procession in Washington. PUBLIC DINNER. A little after four o'clock, the company assembled at William son's Hotel, more numerous than on any similar occasion for several years past, sat down to an elegant entertainment, at which (the mayor of the city not being present) Thcrras Car- berry, Esq. late mayor of the city, presided, assisted by Rich ard 13. Lee, Esq. C. J. Catlett, Esq. and Col. Joseph Watson. The company was honored by the presence, as guests, of the Minister of the Republic of Co lombia and his suite, the Charge des Affaires of the Emperor of Brazil, Hon. Mr. Cheves, and Hon. Mr. Seawell, of the Board of Commission under the Trea ty of Ghent, Gen.'Philip Stuart," and M. St C. Clair Clarke, Esq.
