The sixtieth anniversary Of our national
independence was celebrated in this place
in manner highly creditable to its citizens.


The day was quite unfavorable, but, ne
vertheless, the celebration went off in a very
pleasant and harmonious manner.


At the break Of day, the roll of the


"spirit-stirring drum and ear-piercing ffe,"
was heard, and the Rodney Guards . prompt
at the summons, (as we hope they may ever
be) assembled, and ushered in the natal day
Of our independence with a national salute.


AT noon, the company assembled at the
Union Hotel, where the Declaration of In
dependence was read by Mr.. A. L. RUSSELL,
and a very neatand appropriate address de-
liveFedbyG. Fl. Wilcox, Esq, both of which
brought forth with great enthusiasm the
heartfelt plaudits of the audience.


Nay the same holy spirit Ofliberty which
animated the bosoms of those present on that
day, and which burst forth mvoluntarily in
shouts of joy, be gamered up and treasured
there, until time shall be no more.


We learn, by the New Orleans CONNER.
cial Bulletin Of the I'd inst, that force Of
about 1000 Mexicans were on their march
to Texas to quell the "saucy rebels" who
dared TO make prisoner their president and
commander-in-chief. 1t is said, they feel
very sanguine of success. Poor dis! they
would find it more to their advantage and
comfort to remain at home, and pay the
priesthood who control them, than to wage
a war against the "Texasians." There
may be much contention for time; but
nevertheless, Texas must and riU be free!
