TIIURSDAY::::::::::::::::::::::::::::JHLY 4.
TIie JVulionul Anniversary.
From the New York World.
The . Fourth of July is at hand the
righty -fifth anniversary of our nationality.
What shall we do with it? Is John Ad
ams' glowing prophecy to prove false, after
60 many years, and, instead of bonfires,
bell-ringing, processions and universal hi
larity, are freemen to- hang their heads
and hide themselves? God forbid.
"We are indeed upon tempestuous time?.
Our horizon is black and impenetrable.
Some are discouraged and say that freedom
is lost. They are "bowed down like a
bulrush." They think that the God of
otrr fathers who stood by the conquered
victors at Bunker Hill, by the bare-footed
sentinel at Valley Forge, by Marion's acorn
fed troopers is now shorn of His resour
ces. There arc others who are angry, and
intend to pass by the glorious time-mark
with sullen Precognition. There are those,
too, who have blasphemed the day, when
they deseojrated its emblem, and trampled
the blessed stars under their feet.
For all this, let no patriot think for a
moment that the Fourth of July will ever
grow old or be forgotten. Especially it
will be kept this year a3 it has not been
kept since the time that its adventurous
Declaration was crowned with peace, and
the founders of the republic saw it stretch
ing its unmanacled hands on high. Never
had we so much reason a3 now to trust the
principles on which that great issue was
joined, or to believe in the permanency of
the institutions which its result has estab
lished. Legitimists and monarchists exult
because they think the experiment, whose
success has undermined absolutism every
where, is about to fail. Never wa3 exul
tation more premature never were free
institutions so far from failure. "What
was the conflict of our fathers to that in
which we are engaged? It was the alpha
bet of the book whose pages we arc now
turning, and not we alone but every awa
kened nation pressing to gcr sight of the
life-giving inscriptions. In the land of
Washington and Franklin the spirit of
liberty has waxed so great that her sons
have not hesitated to turn all the accumu
lated resources of their years of peace
against their domestic foes, alike disregard
ing relationship and material interests at
her behest. Nothing can be more sacred
than the contest. It is inspired neither
by ambition, revenge nor greed. On the
contrary, at incalculable expense and loss,
and after unexampled forbearance, have
we gone forth only to maintain the insti
tutions of our fathers, and to justify the
hopes and expectations of the world.
These hopes and expectations are not
to be disappointed. Our glorious flag
emblem of universal liberty is unfurled
for all the tribes of men, and for the re
motest stretch of time. Its enemies are
the enemies of human rights, and they
will be swept before itas dust in the whirl
wind. We have found that the blood of
freedom, after all, does not yet run pure
iu our borders. The spirit of sycophancy,
of ignoble servility, which gave our fath
ers so much trouble in the revolutionary
times, was not then eradicated. There
are those remaining, even in the old thir
teen, who avow that they were never re
publicans at heart, though they have
shared the blessings of republican institu
tions. They cry out for 4':i king." But
this cry is not the knell of constitutional
liberty. Our fathers heard it, overawed
it, conquered iu ppitc of it. Their .'-ons
will da more, for it is not incredible tli;:t
the event of the present conflict will bo to
f-ilence it forever. It only needs to that
result that those who love the Hud, and.
hold its many blessings dear," keep to
gether, and keep their faith in God and
in the great standards of the Dt cLv.ittioii
and the Constitution. These not with
out human imperfection indeed, and not
without a possibility of amendment from
the experiences or eighty years embody
the essential principles of free, constitu
tional government.
By these, therefore, v?c will abide, and
holding thes3 aloft we will steal tho sedi
tious torrent. The Fourth of July to
y.n o-Tfitpet. -;itlierini? the noblest
anniversary of all. At least there will be
but one greater, and that is when all the
children come home again. Some per
sons talk of saving the usual appropriations
for its observance. It would be the worst
possible economy. Money is not all that
we need. We need every encouragement
to tho patriotic spirit. Not that we fear
it will die. But it must be large, cheer
ful, efficient. It mut have sympathy.
It mu.st call up tho memories of past glo
ries. It must bs reminded continually ot
the price of liberty. It must be energized
by prophecy. The minstrel and the seer
must taiul forth, with historic memories
and divine pre-iutimations. Let the en
suing anniversary, thcu, be celebrated so
that old John Adams may look forth
from his resting place to see what his
children are doing. Bit the earth ring
with the acclamations of freemen, armed
once more, and let us hope for the last
fight with the foes of the Constitutional
freedom. Let the altars of Liberty be
renovated and decked with votive gar
lands. Let the aired survivors of our ear
lier wars be cheered by the outpourings of
a spirit fit to assure theni that their trusts
will not be committed to feeble or unworthy
hands. And above all, let a devout rec
ognition of the great Leader of Armies
and an intelligent trust in God purify and
confirm every patriotic impulse.

SKIRMISH AT MATIIIAS POINT.
Washington, June 28. The steamer
Pawnee arrived at the Navy Yard this
morning, bringing interesting but painful
intelligence from Jlathias 1 oint.
According to the statements of persons
in the expedition, Capt. ard of the Tree
born, yesterday obtained from Capt. How
:n. of the Pawnee, a reinforcement of
twenty men, and, united with others from
his own vessel, comprising between thirty
and forty in all, btarted in several cutters
for Alathias Point, taking with them about
two hundred and fifty bags, which were
tilled with sand on shore, and with which
breastworks were soon erected, the pro
ceedings beinir under the direction of
Lieut. Chanlain. While in the act of re
turning to the Freeborn, for the purpose,
it H stated, of obtaining cannon for the
battery, n force of Confederates, variously
estimated at from oOU to suddenly
emerged from a thick wood in which they
had been concealed, and poured a olley
of shot into the Federal party, who made
a hasty retreat, .several of the meu by
swimming to the r reeborn.
Capt. Ward, of the Freeborn, protected
his men as far as possible with his guns,
and fired twelve or htteen shots among the
rebels, with what effect could not be ascer
taincd. While iu the act of righting s
prun after, it is said, the gunner had been
wounded, Capt. Ward was struck in the
breast by a bullet, and in the course of au
hour thereafter, died from internal hemor
rhage. A sailor named u. J. Bess was
wounded in fcur places, it is feared mor
tally. Several others were also wounded,
among them Jack Williams, the coxwain,
a ball enteriufr his thih. The flag he
carried was completely riddled. The men
all reached the vessel without further
damage. Capt. Ward's body was brought
here to-day by tho Pawnee. In the funeral
procession which accompanied it from the
wharf to a place of temporary deposit in
the Navy lard, was displayed the riddled
banner. The gloom which prevailed in
this locality was oppressive. The remains
will be transported North. It is said that
after the Federal forces retreated from
Alathias Point, the breastworks were im
mediately occupied by the Confederates
The information had, early iu the day,
been communicated by a negro belonging
to Dr. Howe, whose house had been burned
011 Tuesday, by a party from the Kesolute,
that the enemy were in the neighborhood
at least 1000 strong. The negro approach
ed tho rcderal party a fugitive, with his
shirt on a pole, as a kind ot a flag of truce.
He has been brought to Washington quite
happy at his escape from the rebel neigh
borhood.

Tt'Iiat Gov. L';ia-lIi is Siolug,
In a late letter to Judge Smyser, Gov.
"Curtin says:
'We have clothed almost entirely 23
regiments; much of the clothing is very
good, some of it of indifferent quality, and
that of the two Regiments referred to ut
terly unfit for use. This clothing is nei
ther of the standard uor quality of the
samples. Imposition and fraud have been
practiced somewhere, and as soon as I can
get a little relief from the pressure now
upon me, I will turn the industry and en
ergy which, whether for good or evil, for
more than a month I have given to the
service of my couutry, to the detection aud
punishment of the guilty, whether it may
fall on officials, agents or contractors."
The Washington correspondent of the
Pittsburg Pott in speaking of his visit to
Ilarrisburg, says :
"I arrived at Ilarrisburg on Friday
"morning, and 011 Saturday called on the
Governor, whom I found closeted with
Attorney General Meredith. The Gov
ernor was very courteous, and I understand
that he intends to use every effort to have
our volunteers clothed and equipped prop
erly, and he intends also to have the
parties exposed and brought to justice
who have so unmercifully robbed our
brave volunteers, and swindled our glori
ous old Commonwealth. The appointment
of Meredith gives universal satisfaction, I
understand, all over the State, and the
change is thought to be a very happy one
both for the Governor and the interest of
the State. That the Governor intends to
do his duty honestly and impartially, I
have no doubt, and I understand that
Bucky Neal, Martin, A. K. M'C, and
geutlemen of the same cloth will have to
seek some other interest than that of the
State to take care of, as the Governor in
tends to spare neither friend nor foe, who
has been guilty of fraudulent acts in regard
to equipping our volunteers."
Government Resources for the
War. The Secretary of War has informed
the President that there are now 225,000
men enrolled in the service of the United
States.
Commodore Vandcrbilt lias offered all
the steamships of the Atlantic and Pacific
Steamship Company to the Government,
including the Vanderbilt, Ocean Queen,
Ariel, Champion and Daniel Webster, to
be paid for at such rates as any two com
modores of the United States Navy and
ex-commodore Stockton may decide upon
as a proper valuation. If the Government
is not willing to purchase the Vanderbilt
on these terms, the Commodore expresses
his readiness to hand her over to the
country as a gift.
There are now in Washington and im
mediate vicinity at least sixty thousand
troops. It is believed that Gen. Scott will
increase this number to seventy thousand
men before making any offensive move
ments. The ten additional Massachusetts regi
ments which have beeu called for by the
President, will be iu Virginia in less than
forty da3's, armed and equipped with ev
erything necessary for a campaign. Each
regiment will have twenty-five wagons, in
stead of fifteen, the usual number, and
those wagons are now made at tho rate of!

To the Editor of The Allcjhaniun :
The Annual Exhibition and Distribution of
Premiums of St. Aloyius' Academy, located
at Loretto, in this county, took place at the
old church in that place, on Thursday after
noon last, June 27th. The Institution is con
d acted "by five of the Sisters of Mercy, and it
is uuder the special patronage of the Catholic
Church. Its object is, to impart a religious
nud academical education to young ladies, of
whom forty were in attendance during the
past year. A large number of spectators hon
ored the occasion with their presence, inclu
ding Dishop Dominic of Pittsburg. The beauty
and manhood of the village, aud of all the re
gion round about, were largely represented.
A lahje stage was tastefully decorated with
evergreens, and appropriately draped and car
peted. Upon this, when we entered the room
at two o'clock, we found seated the pupils, the
teachers, the Bishop, and several clergymen.
The voiinor Indies were dressed in white, with
blue sashes, and seated upon benches arranged
in tiers the smaller girls at the top the
whole presenting a most picturesque appear
ance. One end ol the stage wu3 occupied uy
a piauo and melodeou.
The exercises were mainly composed of mu
sical and dramatic representations, the reading
of essays, and the distribution of prizes. A
portion of the programme, embracing exer
cises iu many of the branches of study taught
at tho institution, was unavoidably omitted,
owing to the protracted duration of the otlfer
exercises, and the necessity which compelled
the Bishon to leave at an early hour in the
evening. We afterwards learned from one of
the Sisters that the examination proper in the
languages and sciences had previously taken
place in the school-room.
Of the music and dialogues and essays, we
are not competent to speak with justice. The
vocal and instrumental music we have seldom,
if ever, heard excelled at at an educational
exhibition. It was sacred, patriotic ami oper
atic entrancing the vast assembly with a
succession of sweet and lofty symphonies,
which would have elicited the praise of a La
Cranare. or Jenny Lind. The "Mar hpangled
Banner" was sung with much spirit to au ad
mirable aceoiupauinic'al, amid the most enthu
siastic applause. The pupils of St. Aloysius'
Academy have certainly been favore'd with the
instruction of a music teacher of correct taste
and i.rof'ossional skill of the first order. The
dialogues, one of which was in French, were
well acted, requiring a large degree of self-
reliance, a .aithtal memory an t considerable
dramatic talent. The "Twin Sisters," an op-
cratta iu two acts, was superbly reudered.
The essavs were well read, and had the sem
blance of originality. To be a good reader is
no mean accomplishment, and we are glad to
know that the pupils of St. Aloysius' appre
ciate the fact. In'tho reading of their essays
and the recitation of their dialogues, they
manifested a knowledge of the rules of elocu
tion which is really praiseworthy.
The distribution of Premiums was an inter
esting ceremony. Wc believe every young
ladv in the institution received a handsome
volume, or other gift, from the hands of the
Bishop, the continual smile upon whose be
nevolent countenance lent an additional value
to every gift. The following young ladies re
ceived crowns for good conduct, and we have
no doubt deserved them:
Mis3 Mary Anne Kieruan, New York.
Miss Mary Gwinn, Loretto. ,
Miss Frances Ivory, Loretto.
Miss Mary Eliza Finley, Baltimore.
Miss Mary O'Friel, Loretto.
The exercises of the afteruooon closed with
a few pertinent remarks by the Bishop, after
which the audience retired, apxarentiy well
pleased with what it had seen and heard.
My thanks are due to the Lady Superior for
the honor of an invitation to atteud the Ex
hibition. The institution under her control"
and that of her accomplished colleagues is
doin- a food work among our Catholic friends,
and is worthy of their continue 1 support.
With Sectarian schools Catholic, 1 resbyte-
rian, Lutheran, or Methodist I have officially
nothing to do: but mv best wishes will anvavs
attend those which are as well conducted as
St. Aloysius' Academy.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
Johnstown", July 1, 1S61.
Political. 'Ion' writing from Wash
ington to the Baltimore S'n, saj's:
The President's message to the coming
Congress is said to be completed in regard
to its essential points. Humors agree that
it recommends aud promises "a vigorous
prosecution of the objects of the war: that
for this purpose it calls for two hundred
and fifty thousand soldiers in addition to
the force heretofore and now authorized:
and that it proposes to borrow a sufficient
sum to meet the estimated expenses of the
war for the next fiscal 3'ear, in addition to
the ordinary expenses of the government
provided for at the late session.
It was supposed, some weeks ago, that
the message would contain some concilia
lory suggestions, and afford some hope or
chance for an early and pacific solution of
our domestic difficulties, but it is now said
that this is not so.
The hostile attitude of Virginia toward
the United States government, and also
toward the Union men of V lrginia, is said
to have militated against any suggestions
of peace from this quarter. It is believed
by the administration, as I learn, that the
Virginia Convention, at Hichmond, have,
in secret session, passed an ordinance out
lawing every citizen who shall take a scat
in the federal Congress, cr any commission
in the military, naval or civil service of
the United States. The same ordinance
provides also for tho confiscation of the
estates of citizens thus outlawed. Western
Virginia will be represented both in the
Senate and House. It is supposed that
Senator Powell, of Ky., may resume his
seat in the Senate, but that Mr. Breckin
ridge will net. Neither of the Missouri
Senators will attend Congress at the com
ing session. Senator Johnson, of Tenn.,
and three of the llcprecentativcs of that
State will be in attendance.
Kven the newspaper press is puzzled to
account fox the fact that the federal troops
under General Patterson, did not enter
Harper's Ferry after General Johnson
evacuated it. The reason is now explained
to be a suspicion that the place is mined.
For the same reason it is said that Colonel
Stono is not going to that place.
JESfThe Presbytery of Memphis have
unanimously passed an ordiuance of seces
sion from tho O. S. Pre, of the U. i
I J( irtiMI Jill
fori l!cliens.
A correspondent ot tho .New lork Jri'ib-
une, writing from Fort Pickens under date
of June 14, gives tho lollowinguescnp-
tion of that interesting point, xr it is
correct and tnere is no uouoi out 11 is
Pickens is a gay and happy spot, and no
mistake. Head :
There is no doubt about it lort Pick
ens is a dreary place. It has all the ele
ments of discomfort, and net a solitary
attraction. The island on which it is lo
cated is all sand every bit of it. Not a
"rain of corn or blade ot grass will grow
0 it nothing vegetable, not even a thistle.
Not an animal could live on the native
productions of the soil, excepting perhaps
the hog, which they say cats rattlesnakes.
Dig down into the earth as deep as you
please and you get saud. Let the wind
blow, aud your eyes and cars, your nos
trils, and the vacuities of your teeth, are
filled with sand. Take an evening prom
enade on the ramparts, or walk ten rods
on the beach, and your boots and your
stockings, even unto your toe-nails, are
all filled with sand, lou cannot escape
from this into the water for a ten-minutes
sea-bath without running the risk of being
devoured by sharks. If it is calm, the air
is impregnated with fever and alive with
ticks. To escape the burning hot sun, go
into the damp casemates and acquire
rheumatism. Whether it rains or shiucs,
vou have flies by day aud muskctoes by
night fleas all the time. There is only
one species of the animalcule vindictive
tit
which does not prevail here, namely, teu
bugs ; aud this rs a dcQcieney which can
easily be provided for.
" The heat is intense and almost intolera
ble. It scorches the few tufts of
jrrass
that aspire to grow on the desert soil, and
bakes the moistened sand as solid as
brick. It is steady aud persistent. It
continues all day long, and all night, and
thereby gains accumulative furce,and adds
to its next day's intensity. If you put a
niusketo-bur over you, you roast if you
don't do it, you pestered by flics, bitten by
muskctoes, become nervous, and irritable,
and swear like a stage-driver unless you
are pious. It is 111 y opinion that you swear
anyhow.
Beside all this the water is bad. No
body can wash in it without adding the
fragrance of i-aii-i1:oixfiie, or drink it
without first disguising its flavor with
otto of whiskey. Its taste is indescribable.
But its smell is that of sulphur aud hy-
droiren, chemically mixed. We have the
consolation of knowing that it is daily get
ting worse. The reason is, the air is shut
out of the cisterns by impenetrable face
covers, which were necessary to protect
them from the enemy's fire, aud give se
curity to the casemates.
A Disgustkd Bully. Au English
gentleman who has just returned from
the South relates that he was detained at
Hichmond, aud thought it expedient to
apply for a passport to get beyond the
bounds over which the rebels claim sov-
creigut Of course he made his appli
cation to the person who bears the title of
Mr. Davis s Secretary of Mate none other
than ex-United States Senator llobert
Toombs.
Poor Toombs, who is a mere puppet in
his master's hands, and who evidently
dares not sign even the most trifling doc
ument without Davis's permission, made
reply: "I dou't care whether ou goto
Ileaen or to hell I can not give you
pass ; go to those military men I"
Poor Toombs ! - lie was among the
foremost of the traitors in Consrress. It
was his part to do the bullying there and
he did it so well that he established ;
kind of claim on Davis. But the rebel
have small use for any but fighting bul
lies; and as that is not Toombs' complex
ion who is bilious but not sanguine he
has received the empty honor of the Sec
retaryship of State.
Poor Toombs ! lie was not up to the
times. Even Floyd was sharper than he
though that was to be expected, a tine
being generally shrewder than a mere bra
zen buliy. I loyd awaited his opportunity
anu is now irigauier-ucnerai, and aaver
tises urgently for another supply of guns
which he promises to return as thougl
anybody who knows his career wouh
believe him capable of returning any
thing which he once lays Ins hand
on.
If Toombs dared to speak, any more
than he dares to sign a passport, we should
hear a mournful story of illusions dispelled
ot a bully used and then ah but cast off
of a political gambler who has been
cheated with his own loaded dice. JJccn

The Tiiukk Months' Men. Letters
from the Pennsylvania volunteers, near
the Maryland line, and those in Baltimore
enlisted for three months, say that very
few ot these men will be disposed to re
main when their term expires, because of
the manner iu which they have been treat
ed. The clothing of muuy of them is
worn out, aud their food is not as good as
they expected, or is might easily be fur
nished. If these matters were remedied
in time, the writers think tho soldiers
would yet resolve to remain, and certainly
it would be to the advautagc of the CJov
eruiueut to have them do so, now that
they have become familiar with arms, and
are properly disciplined.
