 MIR. EDIrcR Our siXty-ninth anniyer- sary,-the great day of our national jubilee, IS just closing; and the sound of a Nations Joy rushing from our cities, ringing from our valleys, and echoihg from ouf hills,n is faint ly dNmg on the ear, and will soon be mum bered among the days and things that are past. And even he9e in this remote part of our Siatc--ln this obscure corner of our na- ton, the citizens of the county of Poinsett have honored this glorious, this immortal day, III a manner that eynces deep, live y sense of their gratitude 10 q benifeent Providence, and their patriotic fathers, for the blessings of q free Government. At q preliminary meeting of our citizens the fol- lowing gentlemen were appointed the com mlttee ol arrangements 10 conduct the cele- bration; viz:--Robert II. Stone, P. ". Fur nIsh, T. Griffin, 5. Reed, and l.. II. Sntlin.- About seven o'clock this morning the people from the country began 10 come in, and by the honr of ten o'clock, our little village numbered some i've hundred souls. The ladies aud gentlemen, according to the or ders ol the day, assembled under beautiful grove, soaih-east of the public square, where the celebration was opened'by an appropriate and lervent prayer for the pcrpctuity of our Republican institutions and national prosper fly, by Rev. r. Brown.

 The Declaration ol our Independence was then read by L. c. Simpson, followed by W M. M. Owen, who pronounced very ap- propnate and eloquent oration, recountna scenes of our revolutionary struggle with much pathetic force. After which the ladies and gentlemen formed a procession, the la dies Tn front, headed by Bro r. Brown and r. ". Furnish, the gentlemen in the rear, conducted by two of the committee of ar engagements, viz: Robert Ii. Stone and L. Il. Sutiln, the whole preceded aud conducted by Capt. James Davidsoh's Volunteer Company 10 the dinnor table; where we found most ample feast awaiting our arrival, prepared or served np i'll such admirable style by the committee of arrangements as, to elicit ex- pressloas of entire satisfaction, ard even ap- plause from the wholee company.

 The day is passing oa and all has been peace and harmony; the celebration having been conducted to the apparent satisfaction of all. The use and presence of that often distHrbeF of the general peace, viz; WhisIiey, was by the committee of arrangements very Prudently prohibited. and nothing seems 10 have ntederred to disturb the good feeling of thp entire company on this festive occa- sion.

 And so long as the people of these Uni ted States continue with such uuanmity and enthusiasm to honor the day of our nation al birth, no matter what aspiring dcmagogtes and political laetionists may say from the stump or even in, the halls of Congress to the contrary, we need apprehend no danger for the safety of cur political Union.
