Saturday last was indeed a holiday in our town. A grand parade of the Firemen and Military took place, in honor of the reception, by the Empire Hook.and Ladder Company, of their new Truck, which had been built for them in Philadelphia, and which they had received the day previous. At an early hour the town was ail bustle and activity. -Three brass bands filled the air with exquisite music— mph were seen running to and fro, dressed in their best attire—the ' different' engines were hauled out for decoration —.young lasses were preparing their wreaths of evergreens and flow ers. Never was good feeling and excitement more all-pervading. The guests of the occa sion, the. Washington Engine Company of Me chanicshurg, arrived in the morning train of cars, and were received at the depot by a com mittee of ten from each of the Carlisle Compa nies, headed by the Carlisle Band. The stran gers were escorted to the Cumberland Engine House, where their apparatus was housed, and the Company dismissed, to await the hour for the grand meeting in the afternoon. , According to arrangements, ail the Compa nies obeyed the summons of their engine bells, and assembled promptly at 2 o’clock, in Mar ket Square, where they were formed into line by those in command. Capt. Ransom, of the U. S. Army, was Chief Marshal, with Robert F. Noble and Samuel Abrams as Assistant Marshals. All being in readiness, the word of was given, and the procession pro ceeded on the march laid down in the pro gramme. The ladies—God bless them ! showered wreaths and flowers and sweet smiles upon the Companies, and were answered by the hearty cheers-of 1 , the firemen. . The. music by the hands-. Hie tinkle of the engine bells, the heavy tread of the Companies, the loud huz zas in answer to tokens of friendship, the clat ter of engine wheois, the merry laugh, of inno cent children, commingled to give eclat to the occasion. The procession passed through every street, and all was hilarity and .good order. Tho-following was the order of procession : Chief Marshal, (Capt. Ransom) and Assis tants. ‘Washington Engine” of Mechanicsburg— Marshal, John Palmer,. Esq. This Company numbered some forty fine looking and well-bc haved men, and presented a most attractive ap pearance. They had their beautiful engine with them, and were headed by the Mechanics burg Brass Band. Our citizens were delighted with the appearance and gentlemanly bearing of tins fine Company, and our young ladies were particularly - ' attentive, and fairly loaded ic members with beautiful wreaths and bou : quets. We have no doubt our Mcolianiosburg friends look home with them a good impression of the firemen and citizens of Carlisle. The uniform of the Company consisted of red shirts, black pants, black belt, white gloves, and New York bat. , Next in line was the “Union”— -Geo. Sheaf- feii and JAs. Masonheimeh. Marshals. The ‘old Union” boys looked remarkably well on .bis occasion, and had with them their beauti ful new Hose Carriage, (which wits universally admired) apd Engine; with the Carlisle Band al their head. The Company numbered some 110 Jipe-Jooluu&; jiMn^,Hfe-ss,. pants, bcK arid gh«,^k„ “The Cumberland” was .third in procession, numbering 120 men', most of them in citizens’ dress, (q uniform not having as yet been adop ted,) with- belt and badge. They had with them their engine and hose carriage, with Sl(erifl M’CahtNey and Augustus Ztio.as Marshals. The “Cumberland” did not present quite as imposing an appearance as the other companies, bn account of a want of uniformity in dress, but they gave evidence of muscle and stamina, and are justly considered one of the most effi cient Companies in our. town. They are “some” at a fire, and where danger is most imminent there will be found the “Cumberland.” ' The “Good Will,” with 80 men, was next in line— Joseph W. Ogilbv and Jacob C. Se- Nun Marshals. The Garrison Band beaded the Company, and discoursed most excellent music. The “Goodies” always look well, hot on this occasion their appearance was unusually at tractive. Most of the members arc active young men, and of course the ladies snowered their favors upon them in the shape of wreaths and boquets. Their beautiful Engine carriage was tastefully decorated with evergreens and flow ers, and . was much admired. Dress, white shirt, black pants, black hats, belt, badge and gloves. Then followed the “Empire Hook and Ladder Company”— John Roberts Marshal. This Company has-recently been organized, and the procession, as we have said, was got up in honor of their now apparatus. Their Truck, Hooks and Ladders were much admired by our citizens, and will no doubt be a valuable acqui sition to the Carlisle Eire Department. The ground work of the truck is painted white, with red and blue stripes, and was built by James Lanobe, Moyaniensing avenue, Phila delphia. The ladies were profuse in their at tentions to the membersof this Company. This was their first parade, and their appearance and conduct was such as to convince our people that Ihoy will make efficient and worthy co-la borers in the good work of protecting property' from the devouring element. This company deserves great, credit, for their spirit and energy, and most heartily do wo wish them success. Dress, red shirts, black pants, New York hat. bell and gloves. Tho Company numbered some 50 men. Last but by no means- the-least, in Ihe long procession, was the “Junior Cadets." Captain Stevenson— a fine disciplined and flue looking Imilitaiy Company, composed of lads. The Cadets looked remarkably well, and were much admired for their military bearing and correct discipline.. The young misses of our town were particularly attentive to the young, sol diers, ■ and presented them- many beautiful wreaths, and bouquets- The procession continucd 'on ■ the march for two and a-linlf hours, when it was brought to a halt at the place where it first stapled. Gapt. Ransom returned his thanks to the difte.rpnt Companies for the order and decorum they had observed during the march, and informed them that lie was about to dismiss them. At the re quest, however, of ft number of the firemen, Lemuel- Toni), Esq., addressed them in ashprl find very appropriate speech, in which he spoke of the responsibility resting upon them, and urged them to discard all jealousies and to la bor as a band of brothers in a noble and hono rable cause. Mr. T. was heartily cheered when he had concluded his remarks, and the proecs siotVwas then dismissed by jbeAlarshala. " THE OPPOSITION.” Our opponents continue jubilant over what' they call “ a split in the Democratic ranks."— The difference of opinion that existed for a time between President Buchanan and Judge Dou glas, afforded them so much satisfaction and joy, that they have been cackling like laying hens over the matter over since, and appear to think they have nothing to do but wait patient ly for the .arrival of 1860, when they will grasp the reigns of government! We think they will Ond, when, the day of trial arrives, that they have counted without their host. The Demo cratic party is not “ split.” True, a considera ble disorganization has existed ' for several months in a number of States, but all is coming right again, and the party will triumph in 1860 beyond question or doubt. Such being our firm conviction, we caiyiot see why'our oppo nents should crow so lustily “before they are out of the woods.” What have they to boost about? If we can read the “signs of the times,” they have no organization at all. In deed, they are so split up into factions that they cannot even adopt a name. In the South they generally adhere to the old name of “ Whig,” but in the Northern States they are without name as they are without principles. And they will find, when they come together id National Convention, and compare opinions, thait their differences are irreconcilable and not to be ap peased. Even the man who slept .with'Presi dent Tyler, the great blaherer John M. Botts, will signally fail in his efforts to organize a Na tional party out of the rotten remains of the de- funot factions. As well might ho attempt to mix oil and water, as to try to bifild up a Na* tional party composed of Know-Nothings. Black Republicans, old line Whigs and Disunionists. They are antagonists, and cannot be made to act together, as Mr. Botts .should certainly know, and whiph, if he does not know, he will soon find out. ■ ■ We say then, in all sincerity, that the Demo cratic party cannot be defeated in 1800. Let the Charleston National Convention name the candidate, and the watch fires will be immedi ately-kindled from one end of the Union to the other, and the Democratic legions will jjush on the column to victory. Our mongrel opponents may crow now, if they will; after the Presidcn liak race has taken place will be the time for Democrats to make the welkin ring with their loud huzzas. So mote it be. Cheating the Post Office. —lt is remark able that persons will resort to such small tricks to defraud the Post Office of ;a few cents revenue, as are sometimes attempted in this lotvn as well .as other places. Nearly every day let iers- and papers are dropped in our Post-office containing stamps that had been used before. These letters are sent to the Dead Letter , office, and that is the last of them. These petty at tempts' to cheat the Government is not only contemptibly mean, but the offenders are run ning a very great risk. If discovered (as some of them will bo,) they will be prosecuted and punished in the severe manner the law of Con gress provides. The Countiiv Am.—Those who visit the ru ral districts now, will realize the truth of the follbwinglines from Willis :. • ~ “ There’s perfume upon every wind, h Music in every ,tioe, ... > for.thp-prej!itureJdvihtfiawiJra. —j '“Sweets for the Working boo.” C"V Musical.— The twitter of the swallows arid martins, and the singing of the'eanaries.

They are wreathed around the cra dle, the marriage altar and the tomb. The Cu pid of ihc ancient Hindoos lippid his arrow wiill flowers, and orange flowers are a bridal crown with hs—a nation of yesterday. Flowers gar landed the Grecian altar, and bung in votive wreaths before the Christian shrine. ]fy The birds were, jubilant this morning, and “waked with harmony the giove.” The grass grows beautifully, vegetation is coming forward rapidly, and buds are bursting .into full-blown Dowers, making the air redolent with their sweet pCrfome.

If any there be, let them ,ry the following recipe: Apply lunar caustic from time to time, removing liie dead skin it produces over the corn until it is cured. .-.Wild turnip, scraped and bound upon the corn, pared until it is tender, generally. cures it.

It is worthy Op public observation, says the Valley Spirit, that whilst, Democratic candi dates in the North-are always denounced for al leged “ subscl visdoy to the South.” oratio candidate for Governor of Virginia has, all through the canvas just closed,■ been bitter, ly assailed by 1 the opposition for aUeged un faithfulness to-lho institution of slavery! An attempt was made to connect Mr. Letcher with the publication of a pamphlet containing semi ments adverse MO slavery soinif years ago, and this was the main staple of every speech made or editorial written against him since the Cam paign begun. If this charge was true, the Northern branch of the opposition party should have yielded their sympathy to Mr. Letcher. As honest opponents of slavery, they should haVc prayed for the triumph of the hum who had boldly stud, on the soil of I irginia, that slavery, was “ a social and political evil. Not regarding Mr. Letcher, as sound enough on the .slavery question, the opposition in I ir ginia selected a candidate from that portion Of the Stale most deeply interested in the mainte \nance of the peculiar institution. And to make feu re work bf-it; they took a gentleman- noted Mor his devotion to the cause of slavery : and all through the campaign we heard how unani mously the Slaveholders of Eastern Airginia were rallying-tb the . support of Goggin, and how tcrribly'A-ycher's anti-slavery .declarations in former yearn were telling against him. How did.this ninvs from A f irginia affect the opposition in the free States V Did they.throw up their hats fey Letcher, wiio was not quite a fast enough n . nigger driver" for the opposition in Virginia ? ..JTlley did no such thing. Ihey depreciated Letcher and lauded Goggin- to the seventh heaven. Goggin’s prospects were bril liant"! Goggin’s tour was a triumphant march ! Goggin was.more than a match for his.-oppo nent!, Goggin was skinning Letcher alive! Goggin was achieving great victories ! Goggin •whs gaining it hundred here! Goggin was con verting a theiasand there ! Goggin would be elected and poor Letcher and the “ Butlncr paniphiel” laid in the shade, i I'lius by the, interest they displayed in the of Goggin did the opposition in the free Stales cxposeAhcir wretched hypocrisy. They care nothing about slavery! Their solo wish is to defeat the Democracy. ' They care, not how it is done—Whether at the North by a Seward Abolitionist, or at the South by a Goggin “slave driver.” They are utterly without principle, and, totally indifferent to anything but success. . Mr. Butts, of A irginia, declared in a public speech, that if negroes- had a right to vote, he woujd be glad to have them help; the opposition to beat the Democracy, and we ktiow how- -gladly odr opponents in the free States would accept the aid of the “ slave drivers" in the next Presidential contest.
