Ht Appointmbnts?A Singular Case.?TheBf appointment of the Navy Agent in the District? of Columbia is a singular specimen of the modeR pursued by the Cabinet. We believe General!!! Taylor to be an honest man, but this incident,E< which, from all the circumstances of the casegL ean he rin fiction, strikes us as a verv Queer il-flj lustration ol the manner in which Executive!" appointments are now made. The leading menH" of the party were zealous for the selection of aBa Mr. Linihicum as Navy Agent, but were start I led by the news that Mr. I.athrop was to re-B, Reive the place. The Mayor of Georgetown? waited on the President, who replied that heBe "could assure his friend Mr. Linthicum, that hoB? had received the appointment ol Navy Agent."Ill It isstnted that at that very time the commi*-g<. don of Mr. Latbrop had been signed, and was!; being recorded in the Navy Department! '^el, Whigs of Georgetown, again alarmpd, were! igaiu assured?this time by Col. Bliss?that!11 Mr. Linthicum hud been appointed. The offi-Ba cia! notice, however, of Mr. Lathrop's appoint-!,] rhent set the matter at rest. The corrospon-l.| lent of the Baltimore Clipper, an adminintra-B lion paper, confirms the above fuels, and saysgg hat a Mr. Addison stated that he hud an inltr-Bc view with the Presieent that morning, who toldln fiim Ilia* he had -preferred Mr. Linthicum, andB^ supposed ho had been appointed. *' 1ft If the above facts be correct, we lament suchll ri?-ks of political machinery among the CabitiPtln jf the President of the United States. It is0^ certainly indicative of the truth of the chargesgri nade, that President Taylor places too implicit :oufidonce in his Cabinet, and that be is in all ^ jreat measure the mere tool of its members. ?j South Carolinian.

On last Thursday evening, the Anniver Rxerciscs of the Waterec Division No. 9,5 P. took place nt the Presbyterian Church. Division moved from their Room, in I ight procession, lollowed by the Sectio Cadet*?-Mnjor MofTat and Capt, Belcher ac is Marshals.

It counted upon a gilded atajf, with flying str< i'gi" i' limimmmrni* i ' \ T *"???f colors emblematic of the principles ^'liipoii which the Order is based. The designs on the banner were happily conceived, and the paintings were well executed by Mr. Alexander IjtBof this place. On one side was an ark float^rpging on a wide cxpanso of water, and thej returning dove, bearing tho olive branch,?the, Edevice engraved upon the seal of the Division.' EOn the other side was a female, a full figure,' if-gresting against a giant oak, and pointing to a grushing cascade. She proffers n goblet of the, Kcooling beverage, with the invitation "Come I take the pieogr. Wm. M. Shannon Esq., upon receiving it on the part of the Division made a hands >me re. sponse. Not many months since the Ladies of the Town, evinced their appreciation of the Order, by presenting it with the most magnificent edition of the Holy Scriptures that could be procured, and now they have placed the Division under additional oblicatinns, and afforded the world another proof of their countenance and support of whatever tends to benefit he human family, by presenting an appropriate Banner, probably the richest and most beautiful jver before seen in our Town. After these interesting ceremonies Wm. M . shannon and J. B. Kershaw, the Anniversary 7 Orators for the occasion delivered Addresses, in vhich they eloquently depicted the awful conequences ol excessive drinking and brutal ndulgence in intemperance, and by well writ. I ton and able argumentation nnJ by statistic* 17 showing the quantity of liquor consumed?the amount of money annually expended, and the proportion of diseases contracted from the use of ardent spirits as gathered from the opinions of gome of the eminent members of the Med'rai Faculty all over the world,.they forcibly urged the claims of the Order upon the alien lion of the audience. The Division was congratulated upon the prosperous condition of the Order, at its first Anniversary Celebration. Rut 12 months since, 13 members with much na' doubt and hesitancy applied for a Charter, and avo now their members have swollen to about 140, ^ evidencing the most unparalleled success, quite Jt,c beyond the expectation of the most sanguine, on' and proving that many citizens of the Monuorn mental Town hare forever renounced the use e(** of alchoholic drinks.

Believing, from the interests so far evinced l?y the People of the United States in the erection of the great NationaT Monument id this city to the memory of the illustrious Father of his Country, that no occasion could be more appropriate fir a further manifestation of that interest than the approaching Birthday of our " - * ? - -1? ib i - c ?| z Maiionni independence, wie ixwru ui .?ianit?ri?

Would not each and every one be willing to devote the extra expenditure, usually incurred on this anniversary to so holy a purpose?" It is believed thai they would, and they are earnestly invited to! do so. The public Press, it is hoped, will aid the cause, and every where recommend thitf plan; and the Wives and Daughters of A me? rica are requested to lend their influence to the noble undertaking. Let ihe announcement ol such a purpose be given some days previous to the Fourth of July, and committees appointed to receive and transmit to the General Agent of the Society the collections which may then he made. For the information of the Public it may lie proper to state that, since the last Fourth of July, when the corner stone of the Monument was laid, the work has been steadily advancing, and has now reached un elevation of about twenty.six feet above the surface, with a fouu Idatiou of 6olid masonry 81 feet square at the bottom and 58 feel 10 inches square at the top. upon which the obelisk, cased with beautilu! white marble and elevated five hundred feet, is to be erected. The walls of gneiss and marlile are fifteen leet in thickness, leaving a cavity of twenty five feet square, in which the staircase of iion, ascending to the summit, will be placed ; and the whole structure, when finish ed, will be, it is believed, the greatest work of the age, reflecting imperishable honor on the patriotism and gratitude of th4 American People, by whose contributions alone it is expected d to he completed. s Geo.
