On the 7th of June, 1776, Richard Henry Lee, of Vir ginb, mo_l_red that " these UNITED CoLoNtEs are and of right ought to be free and independent States." Thos. .Jefferson, of Vs.; John Adams, of Mass.; Benj. Franklin, of Anna.: Rodger Sher man, of Conn., and Robert R Livingston, of New York, Wei" appointed a committee to draft a • Declaration of Independence. Jefferson,as chair - loan, prepared the document. This Declaration, after being discussed sev oral days and slightly amended was adopted at 2 o'clock on the 4TH OF JULY, 177_6. The aforesaid' dimunent contained the following: " We hold these truths to be self " evident, that all men are created equal; that " they are • by their Creator with -cer tain inalienable rights ; that among these, are "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."— flow the - Confederined States, having become 'a government under the title of UNITED STATES, lived up to these bold words, let history shew. If Mr. Jefferson's writings do not exhibit that he, at least, thought_slavery an evil, to be gotten rid of as soon as possible, depending upon the very spirit that actuated the " Declaration," and upon the abhorrence that the signers of the same had for injustice—if such was not the ease, then there is no use in writing one's thoughts at all. This same Mr. Jefferson, the great exponent of lko ocracy, " trembled when he reflected that was just," and well might he tremble. But thank God, the day for trembling has-pried by. 'We harti received our punishment. The whole coun try has been scourged - We had not, like King David, the - choioe of war, famine or pestilence; put war, civil war. a tearful fratricidal war %%as threed upon us, with the unexpected and wonder ful result—the freedom of the -negro. The Re publican party can lay little moll , claim to this than the Democratic., ,God did it. Let us sub mit. . Alas, your Gossip has been led outside of his track, and now returns with due humility to that with which he is familiar. The war has lasted ti ur years. How Well do we all remember the celebrated Patterson campaign of '6l, when the 'three-mouths' men rendered our town so gay, when we used to have parades in' the Diamond, when iNe looked with awe upon a Colonel, and when we wilted at the sight of the first Briga dierovhen we looked confidently fir the early destruction of Stonewall Jackson and his men. These were the primitive days of innocence, and then followed '62,. when McClellan was "our young Napoleon," when the nine-mouths' men werit.ftirth to battle at Autietana and Fredericks burg. and when Stuart came-upon us, like a thief 'in the night, setting fire to the Railroad buildings, and frighteuiug us out of our wits. After that. in due ehronological 'order came 'CM, with Lie . s invasion of Pennsyliania. What an exodus was there, 1113 countrymen! What a carry hig busi vess the Cumber land Valley Railroad did what a scarcity tnere was of colored population and horses, and haw, ou the instant, eviry retail store enlarged its business and becaufv. whole sale! How our hearts sank within us as we watched the long line Of the invading army march through our streets and past our doors, for eight long weary- day s. Three mortal weeks were we then in the enemy's lines, (and they were not pleasnut places either,) during which time our nevls cams/ from Richmond, and -"we knew nu more what was going on outside than if we had been dead and buried, uutil we heard of GETTYS a rm. - the glorious: 'll-1 succeeded, and with it the destruction of our homes, the wanton, wick bunting of a whole town of unarmed citizens. The flames rise high bethre us now, and again we see the dhow& of -homeless fugitives clustering around the ruins 'of their homesteads like bees about an upturried 'hive, and once' again we hear Htirace Greely, the merciful, laugh, "Served them' right." '65 is here, and " our tag is.there." Go look at -- it waving and flapping in the breeze. The stripes no longer typical of the bloody backs of.the negro slave, but the stars, every one, meaning E Pluribas Unum. How differently this 4th of July from the four preceding.

NEW ENGLAND GOLDEN WEDDING We copy from the Hartford (Conn.) Christian Secretary the following account of a New England Golden Wedding. Deacon Sumfierris the father imluw of Col. 0. N. ;mil, of this place. the Super intendent of the Cumberland Vulle) Railroad, and the Out el-child referred this the wile of W. B. Gilmore, Esq., in charge of the telegraph in this Awe : On Tuesday, the 13th of dune, Dea. William A. Sumner, of the Baptist church in Tolland, and his wile, Mrs. Anna Washburn Sumner, celebra ted their "Golden Wedding." They were sur rounded on the occasion by their eight children, all they, have ever had, except one daughter who died many years ago. Of their surviving eight, tau are sons, and four are daughters—all are married, and their companions were also 'pres ent, except the -wife of their youngest son, who was detained by illness. Of their ten grand-chil dren. nine were present, the tenth being the in thitt child of-the wife of their youngest son, above mentioned. - Their eldest grand-child is married, and her linsblind was also present on this occa sion. •So, of their family stock, there were pres ent the goodly number of twenty-seven persons, iz. Dea. S. and wife, 2—children, tz—miirried companions of the same, 7—grand-children, 9 husband of one grand-child, I—total 27: Several of the children reside in remote arts; one son in St. Louis, Mo.. two eons in the State of Ohio, and one daughter in southern Pennsylvania.— Still, in the good Providence of God, all the family were perinittf , „d to be gathered in the dear pater nal domain on this occasion, with the single ex ceptions of one daughtermi-law and her child above-mentioned. One of the sous made a cal culation, that the travel of all the individuals in coining to the place of meeting and returning, o ould be homething more than 20,000 miles ! Besides these, other family relatives, also friends, were present' , making a company of nearly fifty persons. The compantwere bounteously fed from the full stores of our - venerable friends, and the whole occasion was one of much, very much, en joyment. Remarks we made on the occasion by Dea. Geo. 0. Sumner, M. D., of New Haven, brother to Den. W. A. S., by Rev. E. Palmer, a brother-in-law, and by Rev. Messrs. Gale and Marsh, Baptist and Congregational pastors at Tolland. Dr. Sumner was the only person pre •-ent, except the married parties, who was also present at the or iginal sledding, and gave some interesting and pleasant reminiscences of that oc casion of the 13th of June. 1815.- Melodeon and ,4vce,t vocal mimic were had on theoceasion, and the joyous and pleasant scenes closed by solemn pr ,yer and thanksgiving to God, by the Rev. Mr. Marsh. In conclusion, it may be remarked Oita very few parents base more occasion to be felicitated upon their children than these our friends.— Their children have all dune remarkably well, mid are both a comfort and a credit to their pa rests: and most or all of them, it is believed, in addition to worldly prosperity, have chosen the '•good part which shall not be taken from them." Then as to the '•little people," the grand-children, a more pleasant mid promising group, it is belie ved, are very seldom brought-together. WHAT THE WAR HAS COST THE SOL7TII. The New York Times figures up the pecuniary loss of the South in good money as follows: In blase property ..._.52,500,000,0(X) By the ravages of war 900,0.10,000 Four crops of cotton 901000,000 Four crops of tothavo . 150,000,000 Rice and sugar 160,000,000 Confederate debt , iworth iu gold $300,000,000) - 4,000,000,000 The proper pripoition of the Na tional War Debi. .... Of the subject ginerally it i; said, the South of INiO had about one-third of the property in the Union, and had the South the same proportion now, their contribution to meet the national debt would be one thousand millions of dollars. We quote: "At the present time they have not one-sixth; probably not oipeighth, so much property as the North ; and thelaxation upon them, if levied now, to pay the debt, would be correspondingly limi ted. But not fur manyyears to come will this debt be paid. The taxes levied upon the South to meet its proportion of the current interest of the debt will, in the aggregate, sun may safely as sume, make up the difference: so that inthe run the debt Will cost the Sbuth one thousand millions at least, little or no part of which will go to its own people. " We have enumerated Southern losses, in con sequence of the war, to the amount of five thous and eight hundred millions of dollars, namely: twenty-five hundred millions by loss of what was called slave property, nine hundred millions by ravages of war, nine hundred millions by loss of staple crops, five hundred millions of property sunk in Coniederate debt, and ono thousand mil lions by what must hereafter be paid by the South to liqindate principal and interest of the national debt. This, of course, is a very rough estimate. We might have included- many other items, in volving indirect, though not less certain, losses. "Seldom have any people paid such a penalty for fully and wickedness. It ought to be enough to propitiate the worst enmity. Though perhaps certain of the authors of all this calamity have not yet suffered to the extent of their deserts, this certain!) cannot he mid of the great body of the Southern people—especially when regard is had to their sacrifice not only of property, but of life. So far as they are concerned, none but hearts cal lous to every feeling of humanity could demand the infliction upon them of any further punish ment." STARVATION AT THE SOUT 11—SHOCKING SCESE,.—The Augusta (Ga.,) Transcript thus describes a scene which recently took place at Columbia, the capital of South Carolina:— We recently mentioned the sad condition of the people of Camden, whose houses were sub ject to isitation by an armed mob, and who u. ere aliowed to have nothing saved by the suf ferance of abandoned and lass less men. Now Ise learn that the . people ut Columbia have been sub jected to the like terrible visitation. It appears that the mob began With attacks upon the public stores ; then private stables were sacked; then the supplies gathered at the depots for the suffer ing and starting poor of that city, were carried oil; then the wagons which conveyed there, the charities of other cities, were emptied. Two the mules attached to those wagons, and the cows 1111011 which poor widows and orphans depended for their support, were not spared. The Phre nix declares that there is no other prospect be fore the people bat absolute famine and starva tion It says: There are no less than 10,000 people here daily receiving rations, who have no other ilff:ans of getting bread for themselves and children. See these unleippy destitutes at the ration-house, daily clingAto its porches, eager ly waiting for th, doors fa open and give them that daily bread for which they are authorized and required to pay. The Executive Commit • tee of:Relief has given notice that their resources areilearly at an end; that they will, in a short rime,ffie compelled to close their doors—all sup pi's exhausted and no means left them any iongerto supply the citizens with food. What remains The prospect before us is too terrible for c(intemplation. We shall have need to make away from a community, which, thus plundered by man may be fairly assumed to be abandoned of Gqd. IT is stated that the parties who own the house WashingtOsiiin which President Lincoln died have put in Milli, in the office of the Auditor of the Treasury, for losses incur red by the damag ing of "sheets,pillow•esses and carpets," caused by the ebbing or . the lifeblood of the great Amer ican martyr. The bill amounts to $550. The (milers kept the house open for exhibition, at fifty cents a visitor, for some tittle after the President's death. HOME Asp FAMILY OF HENRY CLAY.—A correspondent, of the Cincinnati 'Commercial tells a melancholy storyof Ashland, the late homeitend of Henry Clay, and gives the history of bis de .kcendants The oldhomestead of Henry Clay, it seems, is now ocentied by the family of Hon. Thomas Clay, one of his sons, and present Min ister to one of the South. American governments. It is owned by the heirs of James B Clay, who, it will be remembered, died in Canada about a year ago. The house in which Mr. Clay lived when at home, was torn down some sears since byPJames, and a magnificent structure erected on its site, and ,there is nothing now about the place to remind one of him who once on ned and honored it, except the family buggy in,Which the old man and his wife used to drive about, and the oak trees in front of the house,beneatli which he used to sit and talk with his family and friends. Mr. Ctay had five sons. Four of them survived him. One, who bore his father's name, was kil led in the Mexican war. Thomas, as I have said, is now a g vernment minister: .John is living on one-half o °lola homestead, now divided into two farms. es died a fugitive in a foreign land, and The ore (the oldest of the family) is, and has been, for twenty-five sears, an inmate of an iniane asylum, still avowing to every one with whom he converses that he is the origigal George Washington. and refusing to respond to call by any other name. Mr. Clay-had no possessions of any kind at the time of his death, with the excep tion of Ashland, which was, of course, worth a considerable sum; but wen that was heavily mort gaged, and he thought at one time 'he would be compelled to abandon it to his creditors, until, one ddy, when he entered the bank to pay one of his notes, he was told that he did not owe a cent. Kind and generics friends had taken his case in hand, and lifted-the pecuniary burden from his shoulders. GEN. GRANT IN CIIIIRCII.—Among the inter. esting ineidents . of the dedication of Spring Gar den Street M. E. Church, on Sunday week, was the visit sf the Lieutenant-General. Very unex pectedly to the congregation, at about the hour of service commencing. Gen: Grant, with two of his children, accompanied by two of his Staff and George H Stuart, esuisentered - the church, which was densely crowdtV.‘ The Rev. James Neill took the party in charge, and furnished them with seats within the altar. The Generahap pe fired much impressed with the eloquence of Bishop Simpson, and when, after the sermon, the subscriptions were being made, he beckoned to one of the officers, who, after conferring with him, announced that Gen. Grant desired to con tribute $5OO for himself and $lOO for Mrs. Grant, toward the erection of the church. At the close of the services he was formally introduced by the Rev. Mr. Cookman, the pastor, to the audience who all arose to their feet as the General stood before them. Very soon he was completely sur rounded by those who were anxious to grasp his hand, and finally made his exit at the rear of the church. In the evening, in order to show their appreciation of the General's liberality, a propo sition was made to contribute $l,OOO fer a pew for himself and family. In a very few minutes the sum was raised, and the pew was set apart on Wednesday evening. A SHORT time since an exchange paper in the interior of the State published a communication presenting the name of General W. W. Irwin as a candidate for the office of Auditor General, and urging his nomination. It will be seen 'by the following card that Gen. I. declines the intended honor: NEW BRIGHTON, Beaver count)', Pa.—Editor Telegraph: Some - kind friend has written a let ler, which you have given a place in your most excellent paper, recommending to the people - of Penbsylcama your humble servant as a suitable candidate for the office of Auditor General, and while I so highly appreciate the confidence repoSed in me by " Veteran Reserve," and many other kind friends, must peremptorily but respectfully decline being a LuindidatC, and at the same time thank my friends, and especially " Veteran Re. serve," for their kind and thvorable recommenda tion. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. W. IRWIN. -Tae Russw' PLAGIT.—The following copy of a letter addressed to the Acting Secretary of State has been received at the Cnstom House in New York : UNITED STATES CONSULATE, PORT MAHON, May 31, 1665.—H0n. W. Hunter, Acting _Secre tary of State to the United States.—Sr:—l have the honor to inform the Department that, from carious sources information has been received here that the Russian plague is extending west waAt more rapidly than is Onerally supposed. Some of the faculty call it contagious, others do not. I would respectfully suggest that all cargoes arriving in the United States from Russian or Turkish Ports subjected to a rigid serfitin} - before landing o especially bedding, clothing, rags, &c. The deatse is said to be'the same as that which visited London over a century ago. I have the honor to be your obedient servant, H. B. RoptNsos, Consul. SLAVERY.—The ouly States of the Union in which starcit now has an existence are Kentucky and Delaware, and the institution is in a fright fully moribund condition in each of them. In Delaware it is an absurdity, in its character as well as in its magnitude, and the people ought to nboliih what there is of it, if only for the name of the .thing. In Kentucky nearly all the able bodied blacks have done service in our army, and are therefore free; and the fact that these -men have done military service makes all their wives and childretf - free. So that what remains of ne 'gro slavery in Old Kentucky is the merest skele ton. Disjointed, lifeless, hopeless, with no pres ent value and no prospect in the future. The ac tion of the States on the Constitutional Amend ment will wipe out the institution clean ; and in favor of this amendment we expect that both Kentucky and Delaware will vote, tholigh both of them have once rejected it. A CORRESPONDENT has recently made a trip across South Carolina in the track of Sherman march, and describes the havoc and desolation as most complete. The route of the avenging army is marked by burned chimneys, obliterated rail roads and a country pretty well cleaned of ani mals, forage and surplus provisions. The white people in the interior, while admitting that they are conquered for the present, still maintain and give expression to their Secession hi-resies, and entertain an intense hatred for the Yankees and the negroes. Notwithebindin, this, the planters say that they will be better off without Slavery. There is considerable cotton still scattered through out the State ; but the greater part of the crop has been destroyed. The colored people of Col umbia have held meetings and raised money for the purpose of celebrating the Fourth of July by giving a dinner to the National soldiers stationer) there. HOWELL COBB REPENTANT.-The Macon (Ga) Tdcgraph says Howell Cobb was in Ma con recently, and it " is pleased to know he coun sels on the part of the people• a cheerful and prompt obedience, to the Constitution and laws of the country. He believes that slavery is for ever dead, but he isinot nt all despondent assn.- cards flit! future of the South; on the contrary, he believes that a blight future is alasrd, and thinks it only remains tar the people to put forth their best energiestowards developing the resourc es of-the country, to insure commercial prosperi ty and success. When asked his probable kite, he replied that he thought it would he the same no that of all original seeesjonists before the is ar, and those who had occupied the same position with him since. He expressed confidence in the ability and integrity of Piesident Johnson. and thought his CUUrfie towards us ispllid .be euurilia tory:' "RecossutectieN" seems to he working sat isfactorily in North Carolina. Governor Holden is rapidly appointing civil officers fur all the coun ties, cities nail towns, selecting only men known fir their adherence to the Union. Enrolling Boards are to be appointed in the various MUD ties, whose duty it will be to administer the Am nesty oath to such as-may be entitled to tak• it, excluding the disloyal and those mentioned in the fourteen classes of 111.-President's Amnesty Pro clamation, unless special pardthis shall be exhib ited from the President by the latter. This, says the Raleigh Standard, will silt the chaff from the wheat, and put it in the power of the loyal men alone to 'reconstruct' the Government. Only the real friends of the Union. No one will be allowed to vote or _be a candidate for Office who has not passed these Enrolling Boards - and received a certificate of loyalty. INTERNAL REVENUE OFFICERS have been ap pointed for Virginih, Louisiana, Alabarda and Georgia. and the organization of these depart ments is to be effected as soon es possible. The idea of placing the burdens of the Government equally on the shouldersof those who sought to destroy as well as those who fought to preserve it is to be made -a practical matter as soon as possible, and the South will yet learn that the effort to destroy a good government was very un prnfitrble. the franktirt ittpositatil, ilictmbtrebutg, Pa. A CORRESPOICI of the Milwaukee Wis consin recently visited the rebel Gen. Pillow, at his residence hear Columbia, Tenn. The large Mate is leased out by the Government, but the General is permitted to use the house and ad joining grounds. The General professes to be thoroughly subjugated, but not profoundly repen tant. He talks in substance, if not in exact words, like this: "We are conquered; you Yan kees are our masters; we give it up; we are at your mercy: we only ask a chance now to get a living for our families, and we ask it as a favor t we have got through with the fight, and though the South didn't make is good a fight as she could have done, still it is over now, and we want peace." The General says he isn't guilty of treason. He is willing to be tried by a jury of our Generals, except that General Curtis must not be on it. He couldn't trust him. ALBERT PIKE. the Arkansas poet, painter and ex-rebel General has gone to Washington to settle up his Indian affairs. He says he went into the war reluctantly, having no doubt of the ultimate defeat of the rebels, and is only surprised that the catastrophe was deferredso long. Being a South ern man, he could not avoid being dram into it. Mr. Pike indignantly denies having countenanced the atrocities with which he is charged at Pea Ridge. and is confident of his ability to exculpate himself. He has lost nothing of flesh or hair since the rebellion, and has evidently managed to se cure his regular rations, both solid and fluid, even in times of the greatest scarcity. THE rebel General Ewell, in a letter written from Fort Wairen, his present abiding place, to a friend, furnishes his statement of how he be , came engulfed in the miielstrom of the rebellion. The reasons are somewhat similar to those given by Alexandria 11. Stephens for the same misfor tune. Ewell said he saw prominent Northern men in and out of Congress advocating secession and declaring that the rebels were right, and he was thus led to believe 'that a dissolution of the I7iiion was inevitable, and therefore, though very reluctantly, resigned his commission •in the na tional army and entered thatafJeff.Davis. FLATAiYCE AND TRADE. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has deliv ered an opinion which is of much importance to the holders of loans and bonds issued by various cities, boroughs, toivns and counties in the State, and which settles beyond cavil the halite of such classes of creditors. The Legislature, by act of April 25, 1564, authorized such communities to issue bonds and negotiate loans for the purpose of paying bounties to encourage volunteering, and to relieve their citizens from the burdens of the draft, giving power also to levy taxes to pay the principal and interest of such loans. he borough of Blairsville having proposed to borrow $5OOO for such a purpose, some citizens of that place made application to the Common - Pleas of Indiana county to restrain the borough from pro ceeding in that negotiation. The ground taken oppoiltion was, that the act was unconstitu tional, and that the Legislature had no power to pass it. The Court of Indiana county did not accept this view, and the injunction was refused. The case was then taken to the Supreme Court, where it was twice argied—once in Pittsburg and once at Harrisburg. The, question seems to have been carefully con sidered by the fire judges, and at length we have their decision: The Court, by Justice Agnew (Justice Read mid Strong concurring,) decide that the act was constitutional, and that all loans negotiated by virtue of its•provihions are Chief Justice Woodward and Justice Thompson dissented. The mattes is of considerable interest as some millions of dollars' worth of these loans, issued for military pur - poses, are held. The doubt which_eXisted while the Blairsville case was yet undetermined exercised a depressing influence upon those securities. Now that all objections are removed, they will advance to the rate held by other loans. The expenses of the Goternment during the paSt year amount to $1,200,000,000. The bogus oil companies which are numerous in the cities, and particularly in New York, are at length being unmasked. Warrants were is sued on Wednesday last for the parties engaged in a swindling concern in New York, called the First National Petroleum - Company, an institu tion w filch had stolen the name of a genuine com pany, recently organized with that title, which, it is alleged, received some forty thousand dol lars in remittances belonging to its namesake. The police found but a'single person in the office, who claimed to he a clerk. The officers of the States Service Petroleum and Mining Company, another bogus concern, were before the Police Court, MI Monday, charged with defrauding dif ferent persons of large amounts of money. Two of the officers were committed to prison. When these swindling institutions are all weeded out, the stock of the really good companies will com mand fair prices, and the oil business will be come legitimate. —The Rowing are the latest quotations of the sales of stocks and bonds in Philadelphia: CORRECTED WEEKLY BY JOS.
