DECLARATION OF
insriDEFEKriDEiNrcJ.
In Congress, July 4, 1778 1
The Unanimoui Declaration of fat Thirteen
... Vnited&aiu a Jnuriem. '
Wdbit,' to tbe coarse of human events, It
becomes necessary for one people to dissolve
tbe political bonds which have, connected
tbem with another, and to assome among the
powere of tbe earth the separate and equal
station to wbich tbe laws of nature and na
ture's Uod eotitle tbem, s decent respect to
the opinions of mankind requires that they
sbonld declare the causes which impel tbem
to the separation.
We bold these truths to be self evident,
tbat all men are created equal, tbat they are
endowed by their ererator with certain una
lienable rights; tbat among these are lire,
liberty, and the-pursuit of happiness. That
to secure these rights, governments are Insti
tuted among men, deriving tbeir just powers
from tbe consent of the governed ; that when
ever any form of government becomes de
structive of these ends, it is the right of the
people to alter or abolish it, and to institute
a oew government, laying its foundation on
snch principles, and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most likely
to effect tbeir safety and happiness. Pro
dence, indeed, will dictate, that governments
long established should not be changed for
light and transient canses j and, accordingly,
all eiperieoce batb shown, that mankind
are more disposed to suffer while evils are
sufferable, than to right themselves by abol
isbing tbe forms to which tbey are accustom
ed. But when a long train of abuses and
nsnrpations, pursuing invariably tbe same
object, evinces a design to reduce tbem under
absolute despotism, it is their duty to throw
off such government and to -provide new
guards for tbeir future security. Such has
been tbe patient snfTerance of these colonies j
and such is now the necessity wbich con
strains tbem to alter the former system of
government. Tbe history of the present
king of Hi eat Britain is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpations, ell having in direct
object, tbe establishment of ao absolute ty
ranny over these states. To prove this, let
facts be submitted to a candid world :
He has refused his assent to laws tbe most
wholesome aod necessary for the public good.
He baa forbidden bis governors to pass
laws of immediate end pressing importance,
onleta suspended in tbeir operation, till his
assent should be obtained ; and when so ins
pended, he has utterly neglected to attend to
tbem. He has refused to pass other laws for
the accommodation of large districts of peo
ple, unless these people would relinquish tbe
right of representation in the legislature a
right inestimable to tbem, and formidable to
tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies
at places onosoal nucdnifortable, and distant
from the repository of their poblio records,
for the sole purpose of fatigoing tbem into a
compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses re
pante Jly,- for opposing, ilb.muly Simoess,
bis invasions on the rights of tbe people.
He has refused, for a long time after such
dissolutions, to cause others to be elected ;
whereby the legislative powers, incapable of
annihilation, bave returned to tbe people at
large for their exercise, the state remaining
in the meantime exposed to all the dangers
of invasion from without aod convulsions
within.
He has endeavored to prevent tbe popula
tion of these states : for that purpose ob
structing tbe laws for naturalization of for
eigners; refusing to pess others to encoorage
their migration hitber, and raisiug the condi
tions of new appropriations of land.
He has obstructed the admiaislratiori of
justice, by refusing his assent to lavs for
establibhiDg judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will
alone, for the tenure of tbeir offices and tbe
amount and payment of tbeir salaries.
He has erected a multitude or offices, and
sent bitber swarms of officers, So bartes our
people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among ns in times of peace
standing armies, without tbe consent of our
legislatures.
He bas aQectnd to render tbe military in
dependent of, and superior to, th) civil power.
lie bas combined witb others to subject os
to a jurisdiction foreign to oor constitution.
aod unacknowledged by our laws; giving his
assent to tbeir acts or pretended legislation :
For quartering large bodies of armed troops
among us
For protecting tbem, by a mock trial from
ponisbmeot, for any mnrdere wbich they
should commit on tbe inhabitants of these
states :
For cutting off oor trade witb all parts of
the world :
For imposing taxes on os without our con
sent t
For depriving os, in many cases, of tbe
benefit of trial by jury
not transporting ns beyond seas, to be
tried for pretended offences s
For abolishing tbe free system of English
raws is neighboring province, establishing
therein an arbitrary government, and enlarge,
ing its boundaries so as to render it at ooce
ao example and Cl instrument for introducing
tne same absolute rule into these colonies :
For taking away our sbarters, abolisbiog
our most valuable laws, nod altering fun da-
mentally, tbe forms of our government :
For suspending our own legislatures and
declaring themselves invested with power to
legislate for os In all cases whatsoever:
He bas abdicated government bere, bv de
daring us out of bis protection, and waging
war against os..

eoasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the
lives ot our people.
tie is at this time transporting large er
mies of foreign mercenaries, to complete tbe
works of deatb, desolalioo aod tyranny el-
ready begun, with circumstances of cruelty
aod perfidy, scarcely paralleled in tbe most
barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the
bead of a civilized nation.
He bas constrained our fellow citizens, t
ken captive oa tbe high seas, to bear arms
against tbeir country, to become tbe execo
tiotere of their friends and brethren, or to
fall tbemaelvee by tbeir bands.
lie bas excited domestio Insurrections
against ns, and has endeavored to bring on
tbe inhabitants of oar frontiers, tbe merciless
ludiao savages, whose known role of warfare
is an ondistinguished destruction of all ages,
sexes end eonditinns.
- In every stage of thtse oppression, we have
petitioned for redress in the most humble
terms j our repeated petitions bave been an
swered only by repeated injury.
A prince, whose character la thus marked
by every act whioh may define a tyrant,
unfit to be tbe ruler of a free oeooie.
Nor have we been venting in attention to
oar British brethren. We have warned tbem
from time to Urns of attempts by tbeir legis
latere to extend so wewarraoubl juriadie
tvo ever m. We have ismluded theas of
the circumstances of emigration and settle
men! hare. We bave annealed to their native
justice and magnanimity and we have conjured
them, by the lies or our common Kinorea to
disavaw these usurpations,- which would in
evitably Interrupt oor connexions and corres
pondence, They too have been dear id tne
voice of Justice aod of consanguinity. We
must therefore acquiesce iu the necersity
which denounces our separation, and bold
them as hold tbe rest of mankind, enemtrsin
war in peace, Jriendi.
We, therefore, the representatives of the
United States of America, in general con-
Sress eesmbled, appealing to the supreme
udge of the world, for tbe rectitude of
oor iotentioni, do in tbe name and by the
authority of tbe good people of these colonies,
solemnly publish and declare that there Uni
ted Colonies, are, and of right ought to be,
free and Independent states; that tbey er
absolved from all allegiance to tbe British
crown, and that all political connexion be
tween them find tbe state of Uteat Britain,
is, and ought to be, totally dissolved ; and
tbat. ae free end Independent states, they
have full power to levy war, conclude peace,
contract alliances, establish commerce, and
to do all other acts and things which inde
pendent states may of right do. And for the
support of this declaration, witb a firm reli
aoce an the protection of Divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other oca livrs,

The True Spirit of '76.
On the day succeeding the adoption of tbe
Declaration of ludepeuJeuf.e.-y .ni Auams,
exulting in tbat glorious eveut, addressed a
letter to Mrs. Aduuis in which may be found
tbe following spirited, patriotic and prophet
io paragraph :
Yesterday the greatest question vtas deci- :
ded tbat was ever debated io America j aud
greater, greater, perhaps, nevtr was or Willi
be decided among men. A resolution was
passer), without one dissenting coloov. "that
these United States are, and of right ought
to be, free and Independent Stales." Tbe
day is passed. Tbe fourth of July 1776. will
be a memorable epoch in tbe history of Ame
rica. I am apt to believe it will be celebrated
by succeeding generations, as the great anniver'
sary festival. It tught to be commemorated
as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of
devotion to Almighty God. It oogbt to be
solemnized witb pomM. shows, games, sports,
guns, bon fires und illuminations, from one
end of the continent to the other, from this ttme
forward foreotr. Yon will think me trans.
ported witb enthusiasm, but 1 am not, 1 am
well aware of the toil, aod blood, aod trea
sure, that it will cost to maintain this declar
ation, and support and defend these states :
yet, through all the gloom, lean see the rays of

may rn, which 1 hope we sbali not."
General Scott's age is a subject of frequent
inquiry, and we bave heard it alleged in bis
case, as in that or ex-President Buchanan,
tbst tbe ladies privilege of curtailing Time
has been exercised ; but the worthy Cant.
Pratt, wbo venerates General Scott, and is
well posted, informs us tbst tbe bero was
bora on the 13tb of June, 1786. He will
consequently be but sevecty-five on Thurs
day, Judo 13, 1661, and may hope to live ten
years yet, with such a constitution as be bss.
The famous Austrian field marshal Radetzky
was past eighty when be defeated tbe youth
ful hero of Sardinia, Charles Albert, father
of Victor Kmmaouel, and lived, we think, to
tne age of ninety.
General Harney was displaced from tbe
command of tbe troops in Missouri, io conse
quence or having enterud into a sort or ar
rangement with tbe commander of tbe State
troops. This was much disapproved of by
the Government, as it was a sort of quasi re
cognition of the Southern military as a sepa
rate eutity. Also bis refusal to protect tbe
Union men in venous parts of tbe state, rrom
the cruelties of tbe Seeessioo fiends, or of al
lowing tbem to form Home Guards for tbeir
own protection. 1 be Government baa not
removed Harney from the command of the
Western Military Department; but simply
detatcbed Missouri from that Department,
and connected it with tbe command of Uen.
McLellac.
Wben Gen. Butler moved the Massachu
setts Sixth Regiment from tbe Relay station
ioto Baltimore, the rebel spies supposed the
troops were bound to Harper's Ferry, aod
killed two horses in expressing the informa
tion to tbat point. The General fairly palled
the wool over tbeir eyes. Tbe locomotives
that were to draw the train were placed upon
tbe track beading towards Harper's Ferry,
and backed tbe cars down tbe other way,
toward Baltimore, so that tba spies tbat trot,
ted oCT with the oews tbat tbey were bona!
for the Ferry, were thoroughly misled.
Tub Peons of Pennsylvania have taken,
at par, the three million loan, authorized by
tbe late Legislature for arming tbe State and
sustaining tbe Geneaal Government. No faet
could be more honorable to the patriotism
and liberality ef our fellow-citizens. Now
that tbe people bav so abundantly furtrisbad
tbe Government with means, do time meet be
lost in applying tbose means to tbe accom.
plisbmeot of tbe purposes contemplated by
Legislature. Let tbe work of arming the
Stats be prosecuted with ptomptoets an! b

When smiled npon by woman,
For those wbo brave the miffbtv deep,
Aod scorn'the miahtf threat ordapper;
We've smiles to cheer, and tears to weep
For every ocean ranger. .
Oor hearts are vrith our native land,
Our inngfe for ber freedom ;

Wbo strike where bonor'll lead 'em.' "

We'll twine for bim an endless wreath,
Wbo scorns a tyrant's power.

Of Italy's proud daughters,
Of Scotland's lasses England's fair,
And nympby's of Sbsnnon's waters;
We need not all tbeir boasted charms,
- Though lords around them hover ,
Our glory lies in Freedom's arms,
A freeman for a lover,
A TOAST FOR THE 4th OF JULY,
Ood bless the good old thirteen States ;
Uod bless the young ones too ;
Who cares for musty birthday dates
Uod bless them Old and New.

Tbe young ones bave our rights maintained

Wilson formerly resident witb her sister-in-law
in the Fourteenth ward, K, D, has been
missing from her homo, and all attempts to
discover her whereabouts bave been unsuc
cessful. Tuesday, however, information Was
received by her friends that Maggie bad
actually gone to the war in the capacity of
au able bodied private io Copt. Smith's com
pany of Col. Townsend's regiment.
It will be remembered that upon the first
breaking oat of hostilities, Capt, Smith was
active in getting up a company at Williams

Remarkable Cure of a Rattlesnake
George W. Kendall, !o a letter to tbe
New Orleans PtVaitiW, tevs f
Before I forget it, let me Inform yoa tfcat
tbe medicine cbrst arrived iq due seaeon, aod
lliat just as 1 opeued ill Tad prewing use
for one of the krticles it coutaioed. 1 was
lucking over the buttles, wlieo one of my men
came running 1n,sayltrg that be had been
bitten by a rattlesnake! He was bnldinf
fust bis left wrist, while two streams of blood
were running from one of bis Sogers, whore
tbe faugs of the snake bad entered. As the
man did not use tobacco, I told bim to fill bis
mc-uth.wilh salt and suck as bard as be could
at his woonds. I next kept a rsg well satu
rated witb hartshorn on the wonnd, to conn
teract the poison. 1 then put thirty drop!
of hartshorn io a teacopful of whiskey, and
poured It down bis throat. Iu five minutes
1 repeated this dose, aod in . fire minutes
more I gave him another just like it. By
this time I bad given bim a full quart or
strong whiskey and ninety drops of hartshorn,
and thought the load was sufficient. Tbe
man Was so Irishman, an old soldier, and
took tbe matter quite cool'y. It was a great
satisfaction to bim to know ibat another man
bad killed tbe snake, wbiob was coiled nuder
rail he was moving in tbe yard, not ten
eteps from tbe bouse. For three quarters of
an nour be sat quietly, and talked soberly
and coolly, while 1 kept renewing tbe harts
boro to tbe wounds, where tbe fangs of tbe
snake had entered bis finger. He said it was
too bad to die from tbe bite of a "piseo ear
pint," wbile I was astonished be should keep
so sober witb such a load ot raw whiskey in
bis stomach. Io about an hour be com
meocod to laugb, then to whistle, uext to
siog, and finally tried to ounce. I had all
right then ; I knew that tbe whiskey got
head of the poison, and bad reached bis
vitals first. In five minutes more be was as
drunk as Bacchus, sprawled oat on the floor,
slept half a day, and next morning was at
work as well as ever. So much for the first
case 1 ever cured , with tbe contents of a
medicine chest I Tbe bartsboro, combined

Fay and Pension of our Volunteers.
Tbe following recapitulation affords useful
information to volunteers and tbeir families
1st. After being mustered into tbe service
oftbeUuitcd btates, volunteers are entitled
to tbe same pay as regular troops.
2d. If disabled by wounds received io the
service or by disease contracted in tbe service,
tbey are eBtitled to an invalid pension during
Imp, or so long as tbo disability continues.
3d. If any are killed or die in the service of
tbe united btates, leaving a widow, she Is en
titled to what pay was due ber husband and a
pension. It there is no widow, the children
of such volunteer are entitled to the pay and
pension until tbey are sixteen years of age.
4th. If there is no widow or child under six
teen years of age, the other beiis of decent
are entitled to tbe pay due tbe volunteer al
tbe time of bis deatb no pension. At this
time neither the volunteer nor any beir is en
tilled td land-warrants, but there is no doubt
ao act of Congeess will be passed early in Ju
ly, granting one Hundred uud sixty acres to
every volunteer wbo shall serve fourteen days,
or engage in battle and be honorably dis
charged nrst the w.dow, second to the cbil
dren, third to the mother, fourth to tbe fath-
er : and iiail tbo foregoing beirs be dead, u'tu
to tbo brothers and sisters of those wbo may
so serve and die without receiving a warrant,
in like manner as tbe volunteers wbo served
in Mexico are now rewarded. Seamen and
others who take prizes, and tbose performing
meritorious feats, will undoubtedly be reward
ed witb tbe froits of their valor. Those pstri- j
otic men and women who suffer from robbery
in tbe slave Btates, under tbe name of coons-
cation, will almost certainly be rowarded, ac
cording to tbe scripture rule, four-fold from
tne property or tbe rebels all 'state contuca
tions being wholiy illegal and mere orgaoiz
ed piracy will be punished, and Congross will
undoubtedly past a proper and enectual act
whereby tbe United Stales Courts will take
from tbe unfaithful and onjut-l stewards what
property they may bave, uod give it to the
faithful and true servants.
5th. In addition to what lbs volunteers
and heirs aro entitled to uud may become
entitled to from tbe United Slates, tbe
several States bave passed, and will pass acts
granting pay rrom tbe state Treasury.
Seizure of the Telegraph Despatches
A Disclosure.
The Richmond Examiner, referring to the
seizure of all the telegraphio despatches iu
tbe North for tbe last twelve uioutbs, makes
the revelation of tbe way in which a tele
graphio operator in Washington City worked
out tbe schemes of tbe bootbern traitors :
When it became necessary for the south
Caroline Commissioners to seud tbeir first
despatch aunoaociog the perfidy of Buchanan
and Holt, tbe intention or Ibd former to rein

to tbis city to send it with certainty and se

uary. But soon after it was found that there
was one man in tbe Washington onice wbo
could be trusted Implicitly by our people, and
we are glad to record that it was a yeung
Virginian, William Cowell by name. Tbis
young man, by private arrangement, received
the Southern despatches, sent tbem himself,
and filed them away io a private safe. No
one saw them but himself and tbe parties to
wbom tbey were addressed. All throngb

PotatOPs.
In a lata" nun' ber of th. Country Gentleman,
an old and succeasfuf farmer communicates bi
experience in cultivating different vaiictic of po'
tatoes. l tils is tbe only way to get at reliable
facts on this, td producers and consumers, im
porlant subject. A bad potaloe is execrable,
but where is there a vegetable more deairabla,
more nutritious, or more wholesome than a well
cooked good potaloe 1 Mr. T. saj s :
Tbe different varieties cultivated wore tba
Prince Albert, the DaviB' seedling, tbe Jersey
peach blow, end Garnet Chili also fetf
black mercers, acd tbe Jackson white and
New Hartford. They wete plaotud, about
one and a half acres, on sod land, and about
tbe same amount of land tbat had been cul
tivated tbe year preceding. The result is in
favor of the Prince Albert as the best yielder,
also lees liable to rot, atid tbe best potato to)
eat wben raised. Davis' eeedliog 1 do not
consider worthy of cultivation, on my farm at
least ; and how it could attain its popularity
1 do not see, nnlesB those persons engaged iu
its culture praised it too highly, as 1 think
tbey bave done, for tbeir interest no doubt,
but to tbe detriment of tbose purchasing it,
as in my owo case it yields no better than tbs
Prince Albert, and on the same soil nod
situation it rots badly, having lost about one
half tbe crop, either before or after putting
ioto tbe cellar, and then not noar as good a
potato to eat. Tbe peach blow has proved
tender witb me, aod Garnet Cbili has too
deep eyes, and is watery witb me. Tbat
potato I think mnch of, however, and shall
try it again this year, and hope it will prove
itself belter than last. Tbe Alberta I bave
bad in cultivation for three years, and it bas
uniformly been good, and a great yielder.
The Davis seedling for two years bas proved
poor on some soil ; tbut, with its deep eyes
and rank taste, causes me to condemn it.
Tbo peach blow, only one year on trial, it
bas disappoiuted me, but shall try it again.
The New Hartford is a very good potato,
yielding well, and of fine quality. The Jack
son white docs not yiuld well with me, but is
good early potato : its deep eye is an ol joc
tion to it. Tka Prince Albert t.taods pre

Tbo idea tbat potatoes of different varieties"
(as advocated by some of your correspond-
ents,) will mix by being planted together,
does not agree with my experience; conse
quently I cannot believe that they will do so,
as 1 have bad repeated opportunity to
observe such cases, but never cSuld discover
a single case of mixture. ,
Wash for Applfl and Other Fruit
Trees.
One of the beet methods for preserving
tbe health aod promotion the vigor and fruit
fulness of fruit trees, is to wash tbem fre'
queotly witb somo liquid capable of destroy
ing tbe parisitical piants and in.teots which
adhere to the surface of the bark, sod sap the
vital energies by a constant drain of tba
circulating current. A liquor formed of one
pound cf whale oil soap to n bucket of water
is now generally used for this purpose. A
ley of wood ashes, rather dilate is also excel
lent. The liquid should be applied with a
coarse rag, which will remove the moss, and
dislodge the insects which may have obtsiued
a lodgement on tbe bark, By giving tba
trees iu your orchards and gardens, two or
three gooil washings during tbe season, care
being bad to wet every part of tbe surface of
the trunks, tbe iusecls es wsll as tbe mosses
will be effeotaally removed, acd the bark left
iu a beautiful and healthy condition- April
June aod August are the months io which
washing may be practiced with tbe best
results, though when one csa afford time a
good thorough scrubbing every mooih daring
tbe growing season, would be still better. If
the trees ate old aod thickly iocrufted witb
moss, it should be scraped off carefully befor
applying tbe wash. A coarse piece of coffee
or cotton bag may be used for scrubbing, and
coarser it is Ihe better. Brush brooms par
tially worn, may answer well, where the sur
face is rough and very mossy ; but oa young
trees, the bagging is preferable, and used
with much greater efficiency and case. Boz.
