ORATION BY BEV. E. W. KIJTTER.
At the Soldiers' Retreat, Race and Crown
streets, there are an umber of liroes,who lathe
I,IIIIOIIS blittlCS lost a limb, or became other
wise disabled, and who, with praiseworthy
propriety, resolved to commemorate the day
in a rational and becoming way. The services
were held in the chapel; which had been taste
fully decorated with Rags. The soldiers were
joined by a large assemblage of ladies and
gentlemen, filling the chapel to its utmost ea-
Pacity. Several patriotic hymns were sung,
One of the soldiers perforating on a melodeon.
The Scriptures were read, and prayer was
otfered, after which, by appointment, the Rev.
R. W. Hotter, of the New-street Lutheran
Church, pronounced the following

Alas! the simple truth constrains to the af

been sadly at variance with the professions of
a tuition that claims to be, pan ereellcace, the

somewhat akin to those which We may ascribe,

The Eighty-ninth Anniversary of the Na
tional Intlependenee Of America, we are glad
to say, was celebrated in a patriotic tearmen r
and not an accident scarcely worthy of a
special notice, nor a large Are occurred. The
day was clear, and a bracing breeze from the
southwest ; made the atmosphere delightful.
At dawn, salutes were fired in different parts
of the city, bells were rung, and the stars and
stripes unfolded their glory in the radiance of
the rising
A more pleasant morning had not been ex
pericticed this season. As the day passed on,
excursion parties started for different resorts,
and, so far as we have learned, no serious ac
cident occurred to mar the pleasures of the
day.
in the afternoon, Fairmount and the - Park
adjoining presented immense masses of citi
zens, lc igtillTly strolling amid the shades of
the wide-Spread branches of the trees, and
their happiness was contributed to by the mu
sic of the bands.
The regatta on the Schuylkill was interest
ing, and attracted universal attention. The
nquat te scene was lively.
It :was supposed that not less than fifty thou:
sand people were presentin the delightf9lal4,
romantic section of the city, and all passed off
Pleasantly.
The passenger railroad ears rim fulloOrriii

to walk to their homes, there not being suffi

A ITITMSDAY., KLY 6. ISCS:
All the names: were in letterS six inches in
lcpgtly exeept those on the front of Inde
pundenec Hall, which wore twenty inched.
'Between each name was a blazing star, cor
responding in size to the length of the
letters composing the names. The range
sf gas jets was about twenty feet from
he pavement. The effect was beautiful. The
hull was opened at ten minutes before 8
o'clock in th e morning, and wat closed between
band 7 o , cloet: in the evening. it was thronged
during the day with citizens, many of theta
from the country. The two large specimens of
British neutrality on the steps of the Hall in
the square, were objects of peculiar attraction
and elicit ed many a remark not very compli
mentary to the seeesh sympathisers across the
water.
Rho itjsphi yilinete by the 'Union League tcas
'equal, if - it did not excel every other. The
style of architecture of the building well
adapted it for the purpose of tbsplay,
and this advantage was well improved
in the designer of the gas jets. On the
Inghest part of the building . was the word
"Yietory,” flanhed on each sale by eighteen
stars; below in a semi-circle were the words,
"July, 4 - th,n and, on each of the lower side
wings, "1776,7 , and "/Seli. ,, On the right hand
side of the words "July, 4th, ,, was the word
ttlYnAlington.” and on the left hand side
46- Lincoln." On top of the balcony were,
"'Union," "Fence," and thirqen stars in a
semi-circle. The effect of so much light wnd
so beautifully arranged may he imagined.
The star, which - it was in - tended to place at
the tog of the - flag staff, - owing to the wind
winch prevailed would not barn. The effect,
however, was not materially diminished by
this Ptilure.
The National Union Clubhouse, on Chest
nut street, above :Eleventh, was bril
liantly iThnuhmi. ea. Every by,ht in the
first, third, and fourth stories of the two
houses had a lighted candle - NNW it, The
whole or the second story was taken np with
it beaut lint device in gas jets. It was a large
outspread eagle with talons. The eagle
measured probable sixteen feet between the
tips of its wings. Prom its beak floated a rib
bon of gas jets with the words " E Pluribits
ItnimM inscribed thereon. Below the eagle
11115 on one side an anchor, on the other a
plongh. To the right of the gas jet tit Splay
was a marble - bust of 'Washington, and to the
- left a similar one of. Lincoln. Below Was a
festooned American flag.
THE CHESS OFFICE
To Mr. Charles McClintock was delegated
the ileasing duty of supervising the arrange
ments for dlummating this (Mice. The entire
affair was creditable to his Taste and skill its
an artist, keeping in view some idea of archi
tectural design. lYe merely reiterate the
opinion of tbousands—we may truly say
tens of thousands—of the promiscuous mass
of the people, Wile pronounced it de
cidedly the best of all the 111uminationS. It
was thought, from the arrangementS made
at the Ledger Milee ' that that exhibition
would surpass all (lie newspaper offices
combined. The Ledger display was credit-
able, but it must pale its ineffectual rays
before. those of The Press, as the moon
must give way to the superior light of the sun:
As the carpenter must make Ins foundation
first, whereon to erect his fabric, so shall be
our attempt at description of The Press ilbuni
mtion. ithin the front window on the first
doer stood a 'white pedestal,' decorated with
an American flag. On the front of %he pedes
tal VMS it galaxy, containing thirty-lsix Stan,
the centre one being large, the others smaller,
and surrounding it in a true circle. This con
stellation Was labelled "Uncle Sam's Jewels."
Items made by 11. N. Stewart, No. 10 North
Eighth street. Upon the top of the pedes
tal was it bust of the late President of the
United Stites, ABRATIATI TADICOLN, which
presented all the features of that great Mar
tyr, taken Shortly after his death. Tile
lilcenecs is much better than any photograph,
painted portrait, or engraving, that we have
yet seen.. There is a peculiar melancholy,
thbugh a cheerful sort of a smile, upon the
dice. It seems to speak—" Peace and good will
to all Men." The bust was lighted through the
medium of tri-colored silk-paper lanterns, and
thus, in a subdued or mellowed light that east
no shadow, the bust presented a fine effect,
and elicit ed the admiration of all beholders.
_Above and in front of this beautiful pic
ture were two American flags

fully festooned, the fields or "lil110"UnionOkS"
being fastened together, incorporating with
in their folds a likeness of Washington.
The spacious hinging. WaRTOW glass, covered
with pure white paper, formed Um background

Over all this there were arranged along the
cornice of the building red, w mid blue

colors. Above all, from the main, staff of the
establishment, floated sixty-feet American
flag that unfurled its beauty in the ‘yestern

The club-room, on Chestnut street, above

somely done up with a canopy of A1111:1'1Cila

the haleoniy. Tile goddess, Irons Iron%la r position,
seamed to be looking at the name of Hawks
worth, tlic Major of ihe Scott Legion, who fell
at the battle of Fredericksburg, la. There is a
joke connected with this paintim; worthy of a
passing notice.. The goddess was painted with
the sword in her left'hand. This was dis
covered by a critical member of the club, who
said to the artistic painter
"Wlir, my dear sit, you Lace placed the
sword in the left bond' of the Goddess." It
was evident that the painter had not observed
that before.
"Is that right 1" continued the critic.
" Is it %%Tong?" responded the painter.
"I think it ts entirely wrovg, ,, replied the
gentleman of the press. • .
" Mow so," said the painter; "do you know
whether the Goddess was right or left
h:vieled?" •
This 'was not a poser. for the critic, who in
stantly replied, "she was right—he was
right—the Goddess of Liberty is al ways right."
The painter scratched his head—the critic
looked around for a "Ilinney,” but not seeing
one kicked a chair. •
The painter, however, was equally good in
his reply. Net at all abashed, in, said: "Well,
KOllllOllOl. O f 111 0 ...lithe, I thought the

A laugh emmed, and - the party retired to in-
Tot igate the virtues of lemonade or------sarsa

The display at the Leal/Cr alike was exten
sive and attracted great attention. There are
two fronts to this building. A deseription of
one will suthee to give an idea of the whole, as
they it ere' both alike. On the centre of the
front is a Ore - icor globes, of round glass, each

of the Slates of the unbroken united Ameri

to humanity and patriotism, rI:ACE—UNION.
Every window in the large building was
embellished with a flag that presented a
a graphic picture-in the rays of arttlieial light
and catlyi»g breeze- To add to the plan
resonenes: o'itthe display , a broad * - 1)41:t of
thirty-cent islin was stretched across the
Building on the opposite corner, for the pur

of WI interesting character, connected with
long passed anti recent events of a pntriotie
nature. This display, though well intended,
did not give entire'satistitetion in the lirst
place, and,. therefore, the lights on the north

give more tone or cifeet to the phantom pk

it is needless to say the street was blocked up

THE INQUIRER OFFICE
The tall building used as the .fillairer office
was decorated with an immense; though not
weil-exeauted transparency, that attracted
considerable attention. On the bulk-head - of
the windows of the lower story were three re
„fleeting-lights, which shed such brilliant rays
IS - to dazzle the optics of all who chanced to
turn their visual organs within the scope, of
their. power. The transparency represented
the surrender of Lee to General Grant, on
April 12th, 1851. General Grant is represented
as partly leaning on a table, with one of his
legs in advance of the otber, and one hand
upon the hilt of his sword—the otherbeing ex
tended to receive that of Lee. To his right
st r ums a figure, supposed to represent the
officer of the day. In front of General Grant
stands Lee, in his gray uniform, his glove and
slouch but lying on the iloor,near a table. Lee
appears to have it pretty stilt back—a sort of
halt in bis locomotive power. Ile is in the act
of relieving himself of his sheathed sword.
:11is head is bowed down to so great an inclina
tion that he appears to be looking at the feet
of his brave captor, or wondering at his mag
nimitnity. Perhaps he seett a pending halter,
like Alaebeth whose ideality was somewhat
discomposed ' by the vision of a dagger. In
the rear of Lee is the figure of a rebel - in a full
suit of butternut. This miserable fellow is
crying, ; his face is buried in his hands ;,no hat
is near, and, therefore, it is reasonable to sup
pose that ii represents Early, after getting the
last thrashing from the heroic Sheridan or
Wright. On that memorable occasion Early
14:edaddled so fast, that, like Johnny Gilpin,
lie left. his hat behind. The entertainment NVIIS
enlivened by the music of a loud hand, the
n!
members of which, or some of the, had evi
dently been indulging In Fourth of July les
t iVities.
TR& DAILY ADD:
This building did not display any fots jets,

In front of the building the American nag was
displayed.
The office of The Programme, Mr. Hillier's
I heat rival paper, was illuminated with an arc
of globes, each one containing on its front a
letter, the whole forming - the word Pro
wwwepne. The appearance was lively.
THE sornsn's cAsauT.
On the opposite side of Third street to the
ai,ove is the once of e. W. Alexader, the
proprietor of The.Botclier's Casket. This place
saes very beautifully illuminated. In each
window was a large pyramid of candles repre
senting a beehive, as indicative of industry.

This building was decorated in a very pleas
ing and elaborate manner, with festoonings
of rid, White, and Mac, grouped up front
window to Window with national shields. All
this arrangement was above a, large trans
parency, representing the captUre of Rich
mond. In the background the outlines of
steeples and buildings iudieated the presence
of the rescued city. In the foreground the
colored troops, who " fought bravely," are ad
vancing, while they arc about to be received
in the outstretched arms of contrabands,
nude and female. Prominent, also, is the
representation of President Lincoln on a
horse, of a peculiar appearance. It is a war-
Chareer—a thoroughbred Arabian steed—his
right foreshoulder swelled, .1
though having been punctured with a Whit
worth shell. The picture, as such, is not very
well executed, excepting, that it hangs over
the second story in front of the building. Im
mediately on the top of the transparency is
a natural eagle, stuffed, the wings being partly
extended. A series of groupings of American
nags:around tho noble bird makes a very pretty
appearance.

THE DAY XLSEWHEIVE.

The celebration of the day of our National
Independence in llarrlsburg was of the most
enthusiastic character. During the morning
and afternoon the usual firing of guns, pistols,
cannons and crackers took place, causing Har
risburg to re-echo with the universal din. The
day was pleasant, though on the whole some
what too warm. In the evening the city was
generally illtuainateil, The hotels and resi
dences all united in a desire io make the State
capital brilliant with the artificial light, and
well they succeeded. A fireman's procession
took place. They paraded through the princi
pal streets, setting oil' rockets, Roman can
dles, etc:, as they proceeded. About half-past
len the sky became clouded, mid rain was
threatened, but a shower of only about lire
minutes—not sufficient to damp the ardor of
tbe, Harrighurff ' ers—Was all that came. The
Capitol was lainds.oniely illuminated. The
bars were all closed.
