The Military Parade Un Thursday last was a brilliant affair and passed off quite pleasantly and agreeably to all concerned, and elicited much admiration from the large crowd of people who had assembled to witness it. Five of the Volunteer Companies of the county, numbering about 150 officers and men were in attendance for parade and inspec tion, and it was a subject of general remark that both officers and men presented a soldier like appearance, a knowledge of military tactics and drill that was quite creditable, and conduc tea tnemseives throughout with that bearing and dignity which characterizes the true soldier.

The Brigade formed In the pubfic square, - marched to the field, and reclined on their arms preparatory to inspection. Their arms and accoutrements were then inspected by Brigade Inspector, John Linton, accompanied by Brig. Gen. Joseph M'Donald, Maj. John M'Laughlin, Quartermas ter, John S. Buchanan and Adjutant, pro tern. A. J. Rhey. After the inspection Gen. McDon ald in a neat speech informed the Brigade that an election for Lieut. CoL to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Col. A. Todd, would be held at the parade ground of the va rious companies on the 4th of July. Major Oen. John Humphreys, was in command of his company and therefore did not appear on horseback. The following companies composed the Bri gade: "Cambria Guards," Cpt. Heyer; "Junior American Highlanders," Capt. Humphreys; Quitman Guards," Capt Alexander; "Alle rheny Infantry," Capt. Schnetoerg; and the "Washington Guards," Capt Dick White. We wfuM say much more concerning the parade, but roou is not allowed us this week, but certain ly It was the very best military diplay that eTer tk plate here, and evinces a military furor and pirit (hat i alike a credit ioour volunteer sol- uiery awl an honor to the gallant Cambria. county of The Tour Hi of July la a day aacred and dear to the heart of every lover-of our free and happy country.

I tal Jeffersos, places it far above any paper that ever preceded it, and we look in vain to the future to produce anything so wonderful in itself, so beneficial to the world. The 75tfc 'anniversary of that day will soon arrive and we ask what is to be done by tha people f Ebens- burg? Have we no desire ta celebrate it in ft becoming and proper manner? Certainly we have, and we suggest the idea of an immediate attention to this matter, and as all the different villages of our county are about doing some thing to remember it, let us go to work and liave a dinner, a parade, a pic-nic, or anything, so as it will enable us to give one day for ur country.

GIVE EVERY ONE HIS DUE. We think this proverb very appropriate to be laid before the citizen soldiery of the Cambria Brigade, at the approaching election of a Lieu tenant Colonel. It is the duty of every 6oldier to choose a man who is not only in every re spect qualified, but also deserving of that office by preceeding acts of valor. , We therefore wish to draw the attention of all our fellow soldiers, to a man, who in the Mexican war, combined with a strict moral conduct, a courage and bravery which although equalled, was not surpassed. Mr. Peter Kay lor, jr., though but a youth at that time, was superior to many a man in real bravery as is known to every unprejudiced man of the 2nd Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. kjo. me iitn or Beptember, 1847, the eve of the memorable day, when the apparently invin cible Castle and" Military College of Chapulte pecwastobe attacked, he yolunleered inta a storming party, (forlor bop) On the 13 th he braved the dangers with the heroism of an old long tried veteran, the position of this brave band, (with a well fortified enemy in front, per haps ten or twelve times their own number, and a concealed battery of two pieces of artillery on the left, exposed to a galling cross fire from those batteries,) can be better imagined than aeaenbed. When in a few moments the roads were strewn with wounded, dying and dead, wnero ut orave leader of that party, Major igg. . Kaylor chose a position where bv the aid of his good Musket, he was the avenger of his fallen comrades, and a terror to the Mexicans during the sanguinary conflict His conduct throughout the campaign was noble. After the revisal of the military law ia 1849. he endeavored to arouse a military spirit among uis leuow ciuxens, and joined, unaspiring to any office, a new company, was taken up as a candidate lor lieutenant, and elected. Tha Allegheny Infantry desires " Lieut Peter Kaylor to be a candidate for the vacant office, and therefore call upon every soldier to sustain true honor, and by his vote support ours to elect so noble and valiant a young man, who is a practical soldier, and will do his duty towards his fellow soldiers and our beloved country. . The Cambria Brigade has honored the valiant John M'Laughlin, of the storming party, with the office of Major, therefore let us elect the companion of J. M'Laughlin, the gallant Peter Kaylor, to the office of Lieutenant Colonel. MANY SOLDIERS.

We copy with pleasure the following in rela tion to this venerable Democrat, from the last Genius of Liberty., ' Hon. William Wilkins, the President of the Judicial Convention, before "putting the motion to adjourn, 6aid that upon the permanent or ganization of the Convention and accepting the position which he then occupied, he had ex pressed fears as to the successful operation of the experiment which they were about trying. With a heart full of pleasure he could now say that those fears had passed away. The charac ter and standing of the members of the Con vention, the dignified deportment exhibited in all the proceedings, the singular unanimity in the balloting for the candidates had entirely dispelled them. He confessed that these fears had been created by conversation anu associa tion with his professional friends, but he was exceedingly gratified to find that the Convention, throwing away all narrow prejudices against lawyers, were willing to . repose in them that confidence which, from years of personal inti macy with many of them, he knew they were justly, entitled to. Had anything gone wrong In the deliberations or acts of the Convention, heahould have been greatly mortified.: But It wanoo- . He .had the fullest confidence in the selections they had made. He trusted that the, public would sustain the acts of the Con vention. - He was certain that all who desired the success of the Democratic party that all who owed allegiance to that party, would unan imously sustain them, and that the result . of the contest upon which it was about entering, would be a vindication of its principles, and a crowning triumph to the cause. Repeating his thanks for the honor which had been conferred upon him, he said, "Gentlemen, I now bid you farewell. May God bless you and your families." Worthy or Imitation I Three years since, Judge Black and Colonel Bigler were both candidates for Governor, and defeated for nomination. They neither com plained nor found fault with the action of the Convention, but expressed themselves entirely satisfied. How have they been rewarded for their" devotion to Principle? The lapse of a very short period has elevated both to trusts equally high and responsible, the most exalted ia the gift of the people. How full of admoni tion this to aspirants to "bide their time." Bedford Gazette. There is a great deal of practical philosophy in this paragraph. All history abounds with evidences of the disasters that selfish men bring upon themselves by trying to avenge their dis appointments upon others. The disinterested Democrat or rather the Democrat who sub mits to the majority of his party,, and gives his support to those who have fairly defeated him, is subsequently sought out and honored. But if he takes the course of a disorganizer, and tries to foment dissensions, no matter how he may succeed in doing harm to his party, he is sure to be a doomed man himself. Nothing so. wins upon the people nothing is more in accord ance with our political creed than a manly submission to the decree of the majority; and we never see a disappointed politician making himself ridiculous, without pitying his selfish ness and his blindness. Pennrylcanian. CoL Jilgter'a Popularity at Home. We had the pleasure of conversing, a few days since, with an old acquaintance from Clearfield county, whom we had always known as a "true blue" Whig, dyed in the wooL" In the course of conversation, we enquired wheth er CoL Bigler was popular at home. .'Popu lar?" said he, as though he was surprised that we should ask such a question, "Popular? yes, I should rather think he was. . He has been a father to the poor of our county. I have known him payoff mortgage after mortgage on lumber lying in the river waiting for a freshet, and in numerous other instances have I seen him rove himself the poor man's friend. The people of our county, Whigs and Democrats, will au support Col. Bigler, although I, for one, would not vote for any other Democrat living." Such evidence of the real worth of our can didate, from such a source, will outweigh all the falsehoods that may emanate from the com bined efforts of the Federal press from "June to Eternity."

We were no little astonished, says the Pitts burg Post of the 17th inst, in taking a walk yesterday through the Fifth Ward to find the workmen engaged in laying the Rails on the track' of the Pennsylvania Railroad, commen cing, at the Canal Bridge , on Liberty street, running eastward. In some places the street has been raised nearly two feet above"the form er elevation, which of course will somewhat injure the adjacent property. A double track has been put down, which barely leaves room for drays and other vehicles to pass on either side next the curb stones. Between the tracks heavy oak plank are being place, bo as to make the surface of the street more even, if any thing, than formerly. A car is used on the track already laid in carrying rails from the Canal Basra along the line of tbe road. The rails are of the T pattern, and are very heavy. weigrung aoout ow pound3 each. They were manufactured, we believe, at the Montour Works, at Danville, Pa. It is proper to add that the work on the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad, on the other side of the Allegheny, ia progressing . with great rapidity. ; The rails are laid for several miles below Allegheny City; and -there is every pros pect that the cars will be running to Beaver in the month of July. ' 1 , ' '" - ATloUit Attachment to tbe Piano. Dr. Smith is writing" letters to the Boston Transcript descriptive of the curiosities exhibi ted in the Glass Palace at London. In his letter of May 23d, the following paragraph occurs: In the group- of musical instruments is an invention by T. S. Wood, of Virginia, that is never without a crowd about it, when the doors are opened. It is the attachment of a violin to a piano. It is a bona fide fiddle, played with four bows producing the softest vibrations of sound. Paganini oould not have excited more wonder in the meridian of his celebrity. If the performer is master of the piano, the horse hair runs to and fro on inclined planes with an activity that puts all common elbows at defiance It is an original idea, clearly an American one, to fiddle by machinery. Sir George Smart, the distinguished composer and onanist the choir taLn of the music jury, contemplated its move ments a long time with evident amusement If there could be invented some time-keeping attachment to the heel of ungraceful dancers, the American Eagle might flap his wings in triumph!" What Is Said Abroad. The Chicago Daily Argus, a spirited national Democratic paper, in publishing the Resolutions adopted by the Reading Convention; makes the following introductory remarks :' Pessstlvajtia all Right. The Democracy of glorious old Pennsylvania are all right. The following resolutions passed at the late State Convention, which nominated that sterling dem ocrat and upright man, CoL Bigler for Gover nor, are worthy of a party that has ever stood by the Union and the Constitution, with all their noble memories and compromises, and the country must, in future, look to he Democratic party, as the only true one to the Union, and the upholding of the laws of the land. With such a leader as Bigler, the Democracy of Pennsylvania will be triumphant in the coming contest. Late from the Sandwich islands. By the arrival of the U. S. Revenue Brig Lawrence we have received dates to the 9th of ApriL We have but little news to report except the subsiding of the French excitement We have it, however, on very good authority, that the Hawaiian Government has decided to apply to the Government of the United States for an nexation, and that an officer of our national government is now in our city, on his way to Washington entrusted with tbe miteioa.

Dreadful Mortality. The Louisville Courier of the Si inst says: We learn that the steamer Grand Turk, from New Orleans, with a large number of emigrants on board for St Louis, lost 25 or SO of her passengers by the cholera before the boat reached Cairo. Seventeen had died before the boat arrived at Napoleon, and the disease was then raging terribly on board. These unfortu nate creatures were transferred from an emi grant vessel at New Orleans, suffering from the ship fever, and most of them were in a deplora ble condition- The disease that proved so fatal must have been a combination of ship fever and cholera. The boat was very much crowded. which but added to the fatality. . Iand Reform In Vermont. The Democratic, State Convention,' held at Burlington, among other things, resolved : "7. That the free grant to actual settlers, in consideration of the expenses they incur in making settlements in the wilderness are usu ally fully equal to the actual costs, and of pub lic benefits resulting therefrom, of reasonable portions of the Public Lands, under suitable limitations, is a wise and just measure of public policy, which will promote in various ways, the interests of all States of the Union, and is en titled to the favorable consideration of the American people." - ' Dreadful. An Irish family, consisting of four persons, father, mother and two children, were burnt to death on Thursday last on the woaka. of the Union Canal, ten or twelve miles below Hum melstown, Daaphln epxy.-Xjey occupied a small tenement in which was stored a quantity of chips, &c, and as the fire occurred in day tune, it is supposed -that intoxication was the cause of their terrible death. The Harrisburg Telegraph says that the blackened and crisped remains of the unfortunate family were, brought to that place on Friday afternoon, and were interred in the burying ground of St. Patrick's Church. Massachusetts Democracy axd jus. Com- pbosusb. At a meeting of the Democratic State Committee of Massachusetts, held on the 16th inst., an elaborate report against the farther agitation of slavery, and in favor of sustaining the Compromise measures, was unanimously adopted.

Already, from. the. extremely favorable state of the weather in promoting vegetation, tie early sown crops have fully Recovered from tie effects of a late and harsh spring, anj tJ reports from the country give the moat ,M4J aging accounts of the prospect of an abundant harvest. It now appears that the land has beta far better and more extensively cropped tbM in anyyear since the famine, and that, not withstanding the enormous amount emign tion, much more land is under .tillage. wheat is now sown, than in former years, but it has come up vigorously.

About one o'clock on Friday morning a fire broke out in the Spade and Shovel Factory of Messrs. Kegley & Mohan, situated on Liberty street, about two squares above the canal bridge. The building was an old frame one, dry as a powder house, and before the firemen could reach the ground it was completely enveloped in flames, destroying it with all its machinery; a Planing machine adjoining, and three housti belonging to Mr. Ellis. We regret to learn that upon this property there was no insurance, and the loss will be most severely felt by the suffer ers. At this fire the firemen worked un.W every possible disadvantage the street is ia o almost impassable condition in consequence tf the grading and laying of the rails for the Cen tral railroad, and it was with the greatest di4 culty that the engines could be got u5cie&!! near to do any service, and when they wer there the supply of water was so trifling taat they were compelled to stand idle half ttar tinie.

The Dubling Evening Post states that official returns of the Commissioners, relative to tbe population of Ireland, have not been published; but from the returns from some localities, it is apprehended that the entire census will exhibit a decrease in the population of nearly two mill ions since 1841. The Post gives instances d the decrease. In the small city of Cashel in 1841 the population was 7036; now 4780; Lim erick in 1841 48,394; now in round numbers 44,000; in one of the Baronies of Queen's coun ties, Shenemarague, the population has dimin ished from 17,014 to 11,500; in CorlingforJ, county of Louth, the decrease has been from 1110 to 877.
