We have been shown a telegram of 20th inst., from New York, stating that the National Bank of the State of New York, which suspended on the 14'h inst., is now paying its depositors' checks in full. In the reorganization of its Board of Directors, August Belmont, of the firm of August Bel mont & Co., (the well known million aires of New York, and agents in the United States of the Rothschilds,) was made President, and it is believed by many that the action of the CLEaring House was hasty (to say the least of it) in forcing them to suspend. The National Independent Po litical Union. t This pretends to be an organization < of the colored people of the different E States to improve the political status I of the negro. Their indictment of k the Republican party is full of scath- i ing epithets; they pretend to be fret- t ting under the Badical party yoke and : desire to throw it off at once. Let i Democrats beware how they affiliate s with them; they are frauds upon the < face of their proclamation In the ( committee on resolutions there are re- I presented the following States by one 1 member each. The italics are our own: 1 North Carolina, Virginia, Rhodei Island,Massachusetts,PenslfYVania, District of Columbia, Arkansas, 11 linois. Can you find no representatives from Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louis iana ~and-last but not least-South Caroliina. We are braggiag that we< can . convert .negroes enough to the Democratic faith to -carry the election, I and there is not one to be found to.go I to that National Convention to serve 1 on that committee of impeachment of I the Republican party. Representatives of the colored race indeed ! Humbug ! 1 If we were to build our hopes of victory i upon their co-operation we might as well fold our banners. If the -News and C'ourier and the Register could 1 give us some further information in: reference to the movement, we wouldi be greatly obliged. Until then we< are inclined to consider it a trap. The Impeachment Court. The trial of Judge Moses has comea to a sudden and unexpected close. I The counsel for the defence have withdrawn from the case on the plea 1 that t-he Senate has not given theiri elientafirabowing. In the first in-< stance, The Senate refused to compel 1 the managers to make their charges 1 more specific ; they were certainly ex-< tremely vague ; in the next place it is complained that the Sena~te ruled all i points of law against the counsel for the defence, and showed unmistakeable signs of prejudice; and lastly, when the managers closed abruptly the Court 1 would allow the defendant no time to send for his witnesses to rebut the i evidence produced against him. We cannot avoid the impression that the f Senate acted unadvisedly in this mat ter; after it had refused to compel a< more specific statement of the charges, it was certainly incumbent upon then < to give the Defendant the means to rebut the charges after, throu~gh the< the testimony, be had been apprised of the c-harges. The Senate may havei desired to give the defendant a fair and impartial trial, but they certainly1 acted too hastily to make it appear so. I *It seem~s inexplicable that after re-1 fusing the defendant four dsys to pro cure his witnesses, and his counsel had1 retired from the case, the Senate ad. jourr ed for four days of its own accord. A conviction under such circumstances would lose all its wholesome effect. It matters little how overwhelming the evidence apparently may be, all fair minded men will iusist that it is neces sary to the security of the humblest citizen that the respondent be not de barred from being heard in his defence. There is likewise no doubt that the Chairman of the Committee of Mana gers acted too much as an advocate. It does not behoove the State to try to gain an advantage by mneans of technicalities, nor to object to any and every motion .coming from opposite con1l if fair it should not be op herefore, be adopted which are the everse of those adopted in strictly riwinal proceedings. It is a court no 2atter what you call it and must be onducted according to justice and quity. Common sense should teach s that much. We do not see what ther steps the counsel of the defense ould have taken, who certainly do not eserve the remarks which some of our eighbors of the Press have made in eference to them. They exhibited not nly a sense of duty but a great deal f self sacrifice by offering their ser ices without reward, not to shield the uilty-their character should Frotect hem from such accusation-but to ee that the defendant be tried by due >rocess of law. Whenever tho public oudemus attorneys for defending the riminally accused we may then close he halls of justice ; our liberties vould be at the mercy of every domi iant political faction. Our Edgefield Neighbors. We love them. They are blunt, iut they are whole-souled. They call a pade not only a spade, but if you con radict them they call it a "damned" pade and neither love nor 44wy can nake them pronounce it any other gricultural implement. But then an dgefield friend in need is a friend in eed; he will help you from a peanut Lp to a navy revolver. Our Edgefield riends, however-we are sorry to say -are no politicians, perhaps because hey are so blunt and honest. They on't think that a negro should have ,ny office. nor vote, nor sit in the jury >ox, and-strange enough-they say *o. We outside barbarians, although ve may be inclined that way, we hem o the right and haw to the left and d-accept the situation just like he poor hunter in the embrace of a rizzly bear accepts the situation -be ause he can't help it. He uses hon yed words because old grizzly likes ioney, but-he wants to get rid of im very bad indeed. Now here is he question-shall we accept the sit ation in good conscience and act ac ordingly, give the negro a full share >f government office as far as his num ers and intelligence entitle him, hal we under proper restriction ali ow him to be a voter and juror, or hall we like our Edgefield neighbors leclare him unfit-on general princi les-to have office or position ? Don't et us shirk the question. Let us be ionet; not because honesty is the >est policy, but because. honesty is ionesty. As far as we are concerned re endeavor to accept the situation in ruth and honesty. We have accepted t with all its unpleasant consequences, md all can now do is to be instra nental in educating the race so that hey may be fit to fill situations which iow-speaking gene rally-they are infit to occupy. Let us have an edu ational test for a voter and for a juror, nd let candidates for office be exam ned as to their capability. But we nust be honest in our assertions or we vill never gain the confidence of the iegro. He can snuff hypocrisy in the ias well as the white man, -and if here be any instinct-whe has the nstinct of suspicion. Let us do like >ur Eddefield neighbors, and if we are mreconstructed rebels, let us say so ut if we have gone through the fires if purification and have come out with a meek spirit, let us act accord ngly. The Cause or Corruption. We lift our hands in holy horror at he revelations at Washington, we our out indignation by the bottle full ipon the heads of the guilty party, re speak of the national disgrace and id no punishment too severe for the >erpetrators of those crimes. But we_ o not see that we ourselves are to a ;reat extent responsible for the state f things of which corruption is the ccessary consequence, and that in ird'er to bring about a national reform ye must commenee to reform individ An easy problem. you say. Vidocq, he great French detective, solved it oug ago: Ou est la femme ? where is he woman ? Of course the women are Lt the bottom of all evil, you think ; heir angel wings melt like wax when diamond necklace bears on them. SIrs. Sec:etary Belknap wants to rival SIrs. Secretary Fish, Mrs. Secretary Vish is anxious to outdo Mrs. Boss shepherd, MIrs. Boss Shepherd is un willing to be eclipsed by Mrs. Ambas adress Catskinsky, the representative if all the Russias, with the Ural gold nines at her back. What is a poor msband to do?

We are all guilty of this national disgrace, we the men of1 the country are the bottom facts. What has caused this national disgrace is the inordinate desire of gain, of making money rapidly, of accuula ting a fortune at the throw of a die, of thinking day and night of the al mighty dollar, of allowing a cotton speculation to interrupt our prayers, to strive, delve, hammer and lie for Mamtuon, unconscious of everything else, to finally gain a bag of gold for a dying pillow and a sheet of bank-notes for a shroud. This is not a sermon, but reader you may think ab*ut it. The Vanderbilts, the Astors, the Stew arts are our curse, not for what tbey have done, but what they cause others to do. A man should strive to make a comfortable competence and no more, and do so by moderate work, so that he may have suffi-ient time to develop his moral and intellectual nature by social and intellectual intercouse with his friends and by study. We are al most tempted to subscribe to the doc tritie of the Internationals that no pro perty should be left by will or heritance, but that it should revert to the State, to be used in ths establishment of schools. A large inheritance has been the bane of many a rich heir and-his friends. Having moralized sufficiently for this issue we will leave this subject to the consideration of our readers, if they can find time for such a task in the hurry of trying to make-a for tune. The Senate as a court of impeach ment adjourned on Monday last until the day following, and no vote has been reached on our going to press. Editorial Review. The Spencer investigation (Ala bama Senator) was commenced last week by the committee on elections. Many parts of France, Germany and Austria have been visited by al most unprecedented floods, and the distress caused by the inundations is very great. Th.e gilt sign of "R. H. Kirk, Trial Justice," is nailed upon the stable, gate of the Columbia city calaboose. A good place for his office if he could only be kept inside. Madame Beiknap seems to have been as important a political person age as Madame de Montenan or Mad ame de Pompadour ; the latter desired power t'ne former-money.

"Capers originally grew wild in Northern Africa." The descendants of the Africans are cutting now somie pretty wild ones-in the Legislature. The same stock and the samue e'apers. The more extended the investiga tions become the wore plainly it ap pears that Grant had a finger in the pie-probably a thumb. Would it not be well to apply the reconstruction acts to the whole Cabinet-the Boss included. R. M. Dana; although appointed Minister to England, stands but very little chance of being confirmed .by the Senate. The committee on foreign relations have instructed the chairino to report against confirmation. He is accused of having been guilty of some unrofessional conduct as a publicist. The resolut'ion to authoriza the gov einent to issue Spencer rifies to the Washington Light Infantry of Charles ton and to the Clinch Rifles of Au gusta, for use at the Centennial, passed the House. We think it would be more appropriate if they paraded with old Revolutionary muskets and in Con tinental uniforms. The Prince of Wales has started from Bombay ; they will give him a reception at Malta and Lisbon on his way home. His begging tour was quite successful; the English fur nised him with money to make pres-' ents to the Indian Princes, and the Indian Princes made him costly prnes en t-which he keeps. St. Patrick's day was celebrated with great eelat at Charleston. There was a splendid dinner by the Hiber nian Society~ (M. P. O'Connor, Presi dent.) From the- menu given in the Charleston News and Courier, we do not fear that Charleston will speedily starve, whatever might happen to us poor country folks. The usual toasts of the day we celebrate, Ireland, the United States, Charleston and Woman, were responded to with such eloquence and such effects as only Irishmen can produce upon their countrymen.

The Erosophic Society of the Wil liamston Female College, assisted by the Kindergarten Department of the same institution, propose to give an entertainment on the evenings of the 24th and 25th, the proceeds of which will be appropriated to furnishing the hall of -the society. That it will be an entertainment worthy of that excel lent iustitution and the young ladies interested, .there can be no question of doubt, and we hope they will realize their fondest hopes. Williainston Col lege is one of the best institutions in the land. Henry Middleton, of this State, a brother of Commodore Miidleton of the U. S. Navy, died last week at Wash ington ; he graduated at West Point but resigned and engaged in literary pursuits. "The Government and the Currency," and "The Government of India," were the most widely read of his books. His father was Gover nor of South Carolina, his grand-father one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence,his great-grand-father one of the Presidents. of the first Con gress, and his great-great-grand-father one of the first royal Governors of the Colony of South Carolina. Thompsou, the great murderer, house-burner, robber and horse thief. is scarce disposed of when the report of a triple crime, similar to that of the Pomaria horror, reaches us from Sumter County. John Murphy, who had lived alone for nearly teu years at the Lynchburg Depot, was on the 16th murdered, robbed and his store set on fire by which the body was nearly consumed. The trunk of the body was partly dressed and showed that the murdered man was about re tiring to bed. Fearful gashes on the back of the shoulders and on the skull gave evidence that they were inflicted with an axe. The murderers have not yet been caught.. It seems that the eharges against Judge Mackey were incited by the action of some officials in his Circuit whose conduct he was about to inves tigate judicially. 'It is the gerJeral impression that another impeachment trial would not be conducive to better administration of justice in Judge Mackey's Circuit. The Judge, al though an eccentric somebody, has shown a great deal of vim and inde pendence. We may excuse his ex travaganzas if we shall be convinced that he attempted to reach substantial justice ; the technicalities may go by the board and red tape may be t1orn to shreds. In this connection it is al most unnecessary for us to state that we know that Col. Hamilton in his arraignment was prompted by the best of motives; still we consider the move ill-timed. Thurlow Weed has been so much improved by the revivalism of Moody and Sankey that he attends the Hip podrome daily. 'He has also spoken about the meetings to Commodore Vanderbilt, who promised Mr. 'Weed that he would go to them. If the Commodore, in turn, should induce a few of his rich friends to go, and if they, in their turn, should* secure the company of their acquaintances, we might, in time, see some very interest ing scenes at the Hippodrome. Bro ther Moody told his hearers the other day that .they must be converted as the rich man, Zaccheus of Jericho, was converted, and that, after their conversion, they must prove its gen uineness by bringing forth such fruits as Zaceheus of Jericho brought forth. That was excellent preaching, with a practical turn to it, good for all men, but especilly for rich men. The Srintures contain some serious read ing for niillionaires.

The weather last Wednesday was not f a character to give one a relish for piscatorial sport, but as we were ex pected at Poinaria, and it was strongly suspected friend T. W. H. would be 'Imispit' if we failed to put in an appear ance, and that the King of Cohee, Mr. Hipp, the 'greatest fisherman in the Dutch Fork, would take it terribly to heart, the venture was made, and a landing effected at Pomaria under an angry looking sky, and the promise of a miserable drizzle. The prospect was not cieering just then, but the frolic was not to be nntil next day, and it might clear off by that time, and in the interval our host held out the CHEERFUL ALLUREMENT of a tramp over his fields, one of which was intended for corn, and from which several hundred bushels were looked for; another to be devoted to the hope of the country-cotton, all of which were reached over stubble fields and last year's corn and cotton rows, and then to the wheat field, which his neigh bors thought he had ruined by harrow ing, but which to our view was decidedly fine and vigorous, with the promise of innumerable bushels to be realized in the near future. AFTER THIS DIVERTISEMENT our friend obliqued towards the Acad emy, near which is the fine, new and commodious hall lately erected by the citizens of that.section, the upper story (60x25) of which is used by Pomaria Grange, the Knights of Jericho and the Masonic order. This ball is certainly a credit to that section, and is built on solid foundations of immense pieces of granite. The Academy near at hand was then entered, and seats being offer ed by the7 polite and accomplished prin cipal, young J. B, O'Neall Holloway, we rested and listened to a few recita tions, which were rendered in a man ner alike CREDITABLE TO TEACHER AND PUPILS. Pretty soon the welcome "dismissed" fell from the lips of the teacher, a sound always pleasant to pupils, when we turned out with the bright-eyed misses and mischievous looking lads, and al most felt disposed to join in the merry shouts of the young party. Travelling from there up the road that Thompson the murderer went on his hellish deed, and on the way to Mr. H.'s hospitable mansion, we learned that Thompson had been the SECRETARY OF THE UNION LEAGUE in that section, and that his body was brought to Pomaria and buried with honors by the Leaguers in the presence of an immense number of colored peo pe at St. James', near Bethlehem Church. This tramp and the visit to the house, with a look at the garden, and a view at the fine looking Essex shoats and breeding sows, satisfied us that our host was pretty well fixed and nnderstood the general management of farm matters. Passing over the night and its almost incessant rain, which was anything but encouraging in view of the morrow's fishing, day at length dawned heavy and dark. It was A DISMAL PROSPECT -no cat-fish would be drawn from Broad River by one unfortunate at least -the bucket of shad eggs, secured with so much labor, would be wasted, and the friends at home anxiously waiting for a mess of the fish, would be sadly disappointed. Now and then a bright piece of sky would be seen here and there in the murky, overcast sky, and T. W. H. would call out to get ready, and ask if the lunch was put up, but the next moment a quencher would put out the hope in a TORRENT OF RAfI-FALL. Then came word from Hipp to meet him at Hope's-he bad gone on round a near way. We .could not see it, how ever, the King of Cohee looked on it with a professional eye-not so with us. To sit in a leaky batteau for mortal hours, and under drenching showers, the wind howling and whistling and shaking the frail bark about like a cockle shell, varied perhaps by a souse in the cold and muddy stream had no attractions for us. And from a LITTLE ACCIDENTAL LEAK in the conversation, in which a humor ous recital was given of a long time ago plot to upset some one in the river, at the bottom of which-not the river but the plot-was Mr. Burr J. R., we concluded that it might be as well to decline the sport, lose the shad eggs, miss the lunch, avoid the rain and may be the accidental (?) capsizing of the battea, and return uome to our busi ness with dry clothes, which we did af ter promising to go back when the weather was more settled. A SHOWER OF FLESH.-A special dispatch to the Louisville, Ky., Cou rierJournal, from Mount Sterling, Ky., conveys the intelligence that du ring yesterday a most wonderful phe uomon transpired in that section. The correspondent says that during the sunshine and clear sky there fell from the heavens quivering flesh, which camne down in large quantities and flled mnany acres of the territory. Hogs and chickens eagerly devoured the fesh, specimens of which have been sent to this city for scientific examination. Captain J. M. Bent, of Mount Ster ling,.Ky., arrived in Louisville with pecimens of th~e flesh which fell last riday in Bath County. The fesh overed two a'cres of ground, resem bled mutton, and left traces of blood n trees and fences which were touched y falling flakes. The heavens were clear, the'sun shone, and only floating l visible at the time-2 P. FOR TH3 HIRAILD. .Temperance. The mighty stream Is swollen, and the slender bark must breast an overwhelmiug surge. The teftpest comes-the waves lift up their heads, and the angry elements conspire to burl destruction on the little ship. She struggles on with the unfeeling torrent, and would soon sink but for a strong hand that lends her aid, accompanied with the same voice that had so often warned her inmates of the dangers ahead, and implored them to turn back-but they heeded it not; now glad ly they accept the kind assistance, and are transplanted into smooth waters and go on. their way rejoicing. So may our efforts and warning voices against intemperance be to day. So much has already been said to stay the course of those who have taken passage in that ves-el of sin,and are rushing onward to the breakers wbich will shatter their frail bark, and plunge them into everlasting gloom and woe, we feel, unless immediate action and an earnest desire to help us in our efforts could be aroused in every true and honest heart, it would be mere babble to say more. Yet we can bat try-it may be that our voice will be heard in this boar of peril, as the one that saved the drowning ship, when none other is near. In consideration of what has, and is still being said and done to drive intemper ance from -our land, and yet admitting the lamentable fact that thousands are still be ing hurled into untimely graves from its fatal effects, we may honestly conclude that we have done comparatively nothing, and yet there remains a vast field before us in which to lavish all our strongest efforts and noblest exertions. The cry for aid is a universal one. The vineyard is before us! Why stand any idle! The weakest attempt will be rewarded. If we are too weak to Journey, Up the mountain, steep and high, We cap stand within the valley, While the multitudes go by; We can chant in happy measure As they slowly pass along; Though they may forget the singer, They will not forget the song. We know that there are many who speak in disparaging terms-nay, even ridicule our society; yet with a firm and determined pur pose, a resolute will, and the blessed assar ance of God's smile, we will yet rise above the voice of insult and caluny, and unfarl over all the banner bearing the emblems.of our sacred order, and its influence will extend from ocean to ocean! Time after time have the widow's tears and the orphan's sobs been pathetically portrayed as victims of an inebriate husband or father; and the low, sad moans and heart-rending cries of the drunkard's wife been echoed and re-echoed along the dusty arena of busy life for ages now past; yet it seems never to have occurred to any that these fair creatures have in a measure shaped their own sad destinies. Oh! Ioverty-stricken wife! Oh! miserable widow! does not memory carry you back, through the vista of by-gone days, to the time when your jeweled fingers lifted the sparkling wine cup to the lips of him whose name you now bear? Ah! even when you stood by his side encouraging him with your brightest smiles to partake again of the poisonous beverage! Methink some accusing spirit whispers it is in your ears, and you sigh, "It is too late now." If it is too late to change your own sad fate you can go forth as some sister of mercy, warning your fellow creatures of the sharp stones that lie beneath the smooth stirface over which they are now gliding, and which will ere long wreck all their earthly hopes and happiness, and cast them helpless on the cold, dark, billowy ocean of life to battle witheadversity's most chiling winds. Mothers, daughters, w ives, ye know not how, unconsciously, ye often sow the seed of your life-long sorrow, care and misery. O woman! 0 beauty! knew ye your power; and had ye the wisdom to use It aright, what a world of sorrow ye could re move from your lives! What bright flowers of Paradise would now cover ths moral desert!. Trly It is yours far more than ye have ever yet realized to correct the social disorders of the world, and relieve the manifold woes of sfering humanity. And will ye not strive to raise a barrier to the tide of vice and proligacy, which, in its maddening whirl, is sweeping away your own blighted hopes and dearest joys! Alas! the wine-cup sparkles to-day on thousands of tables adorned by your hands. Yet your sphere is limited, but keeping within the bonnds which custom and propriety have marked out for you, you can do much to stay tlie desolating flood. How often in your blindness here you receited on a social equality jthe young man whose breath is tainted by the obnoxious atmos phere of the bar-room, merely because be Is too much blessed with worldly goods to merit your contempt, whilst true inorality and honesty is passed by, without even the slightest symptoms of detection or recogni tion from you! 0 foolIsh, infatuated crea tures! may the dark curtain soon be lifted from your eyes that you may learn to honor and favor whom it is due. But while woman has her influence, not her's Is the greater power. The violet that blooms and sheds its fragrance beneath the shade of the oak, were it transplanted where there was no shield frongthe sun's rays, would soon perish from our sight. So it Is with *oman to-day in regard to the formation and advancement of the temperance societies-alone she can do nothing. It Is our brothers who can plant the vineyards in which all can find labor. It is man who sees the vile effects of the use of Alcohol in. all iti degrading and beastly forms. His word is law, on hi( lips hang the destinies of nations-and let us therefore assert that his is the power to stop the ex cursive sale and use of intoxicating drinks. In a little country over the sea some time ago there were laws-which we hope still exist-that were enforced with great rigor agaist intoxication. If Sweden could thus be crowned with honor and glory, why not our own down-trodden land? Oh! ye public rulers and leaders of our Sta2te, imitate their bright example, and thus spread beauty, gradur and plenty over a nation, now cursed with drunkenness, poverty and crime. WWrecffrom the lips of your fellow-being the glass that contains with all of its ills the grim tyrant, Death; stay his long bony fin gers ere he extends the latest draught, with his dart dipped in the rosy flood, whilst the poor intoxicated mortal, like the unconscious lamb, "licks the hand just raised to shed its blood" It is the voice n.ow of the weaker sex that begs yopr aid, and would fain arouse you, in the name of sympathy-that connecting link between all the human fami. ly-to action. 'Work for some good, be it ever so slowly; Cherish some flower, be It ever so lowly; Labor!-all labor is holy: Let thy good deeds be thy prayer to thy God."

Harper's Magazine for April, with eighty fave illustrations, contains a rich variety of matter, suited to all classes of readers. The end of the~Second Book of "Daniel Deronda," George Eliot's new novel, is given in this Number. In these cbapters the hero of the story appears, and the masterly sketch es of his youthful career are even more beau tiful than the pictures previously given of the "spoiled child," Gwendolen. Julian Hawthorne's "Garth" is continued, and few readers can resist the peculiar fasci nations of this remarkable novel. A story of considerable length, entitled "Old,Gsrdiston," is contributed by Constance Fenimore Woolson. It is a Southern story, and its characters are strongly drawn. Three excellent short stories are contriouted by Arthur Hastings, Anna C. Swasey and Mary R. Higham. Benson J. Lossing's opening article on "The Romance of the Hudson,' beautifully illustrated, is not confined to Revolutionary events, but deals also with lighter legends and matters of literary interest. Among the illustrations is one of the interior of Madame Jumel's mansion. In view of the Centennial Exposition, soon to be opened in Philadelphia, Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis' exceedingly entertaining pa per on "Old Philadelphia" will be read every where with the greatest interest. This paper, which is profgely illustrated, relates entire ly to the social life and customs of Ante revolutionary Philadelphians. A second pa per will follow, treating of the Revolutionary period. Professor Samuel Lockwood's second pa per on "The Microscope," amply illustrated, presents some very cnrious results of micro scopic investigation. The "First Century" paper this month, de voted to "Progress of the Fine Arts," is con tributed by S. S. Conant, and is illustrated with sixteen portraits, beginning with that of Paul Revere, of Revolutionary fame, and ending with that of John F. Kensett. Dr. Samuel Osgood contributes, in his char acteristic style, an illustrated paper on "St. Johnland," a beautiful charity conceived years ago by the Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg, and now in successful operation. A homely article, full of practical and im portant suggestions, is contributed by Dr. Robert Tomes, entitled "At, before, and after Meals." William R. Hooper gives, In a short arti cle, a very interesting account of the famous "Tulip Mania," early in the seventeenth cen tury. The poetry of the Number is contributed by Rose Terry Cooke, Lord Houghton, Cella Thaxter, and A. F. The Editor's Easy Chair pays a timely and appropriate tribute to Thomas Paine, as the author of Common Sense," and devotes con siderable space to Household Art. THa CENTENNIAL LEGION.-Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has been unanimously elected field officer of the Soutbern Battalion of the Centennial Legion. This was intended as a mark of respect to "Old Virgiuny," through a son who worthily bears an honored name iden tified with the foundation of the Re public. The New England Battalion has elected Gen. Burnside, of Rhode IL and, and the Middle States are in cor respondence with the distinguished soldier, Gen. W. S. Raucock,.as their field officer. The rank of these gen tlemen in the Fourth of Jaly Centen aal parade will be decided by thema selves.
