Yours, &o., Ferxanpez pe Taos. n by the brass band of Col. Fauntleroy’s regi- ment, they marched from the lodge room to the Plaza, in front of the Governor's ace. The band made the welkia ring with rich notes of sweet harmony; and as we looked aloft and saw the stars and stripes fluttering in the breeze at the top of the flag-staff, we felt that we had acountry, a matchless republican, free ecuntry! A handful of Americans as we ure in the midst of seventy thousand Mexicams, as yet unfamiliar with our history and institu- tions—surrounded by hostile and plundering tribes of untrained savages, aud seemingly forgotten in our interests and welfare by the Government of the United States—yet on this day the glorious reminiscences of the past and blessed fee of the future came thronging upon us with redoubled vigor. The procession was formed a few minutes before twelve o’clock, under the direction of Mr. Elias Brevort, marshal of the day, and consisted of Hon. David Meriwether, Gover- nor; Hon. Wm. M. H. Davis, Secretary of the Territory ; Hon. —— Deavenport, and Hon. Perry E. Brocchus; the members of the Ma- sonic lodge, and the military officers from ya- rious parts of the Territory; the speaker of the day, and the citizens genera!ly—Awmeri- cans and Mexicans. At 12 o'clock, m., the procession marched around the Public Plaza, and the usual salute was fired; after which the whole body entered the court-house, where the en ed sey- eral national airsin fine style. The Declara- tion of Independence was then read in the Spanish language by Mr. Charles P. Ciever, and a neat, elegant and —_ speech was delivered in the Spanish by a native New Mexican, Don Nicholas Quintana; after which the Declaration of Independence was read in English by the Hon. Perry E. Brocehus, who prefaced it with a few beautiful, eloquent, and appropriate remarks, a copy of which, through the politeness of Judge Brocchus, I enclose for publication. Remarks of the Hon. Perry E. Brocchus, before reading the Declaration of Inde- Temes his day seventy-nine years ago. the sun which now shines upon & happy nation of American freemen, emitted its rays upon ap injured and oppressed people—a Spartan few, who, resigning for a season, the pursuits of peace for those of war, determined to write with their blood the charter of their liberties. What the holy Scriptures were to the spir- itual salvation of a fallen world, in the mana- eles of human depravity, such was the Decla- ration of American Independence to the tem- poral salvation of mankind in the chains of political boudage. Both were consecrated by precious blood—the one by streams drawn from the veins of a crucified Redeemer—the other by a crimson flood from the hearts of martyrs in the cause of human rights. The one points, with the finger of faith, to a fairer land and brighter clime beyond these subluna- ry ecenes—the other, by the light of hope, guides the patriot’s eye to the distant future to luxuriate in the countless, priceless bless- ings to be enjoyed by the remote posterity of the free. The one has eternity for the dura- tion of its benefactions—the other, in its be- nignant influence on the human race, will be bounded only by cternity, and have its end only when time shall be no more. The cne, written by the inspiration of divinity, has God for its author—the other, written by the inspiration of liberty, has for its author the genius of universal freedom. Assembled as we are to commemorate the day on which the morn of freedom dawned upon our land; it is well for us to turn our eyes, our minds, our hearts to this sacred de- claration of the free—to this illustrious and enduring charter of a glorious and inalienable inheritance. From every line, and every word, we may imbibe the sweet and ennobiing inspirations of wisdom, justice, moderation, and virtue. At each annual return of the day, which declared for us @ station and a name eS the nations of the earth, let us press it fondly to our bosoms. While we admire and revere its great and holy precepts, let us imitate and rival the sublime example of its immortal framers. Then, the freemen of America, whether upon the ocean-shore where their banner was unfurled, or here, where it now proudly floats in the midst of the wilder- nes3, will have the proud satisfaction of seeing the American eagle not only shadow and pro- gE i USING A WHOLE EGG.

Though silver hairs fall over a brow all wrinkled and a cheek all furrowed, yet I am a lover still. I love the beauty of the maiden’s blush, the soft tint of flowers, the singing of birds, and, above all, the silvery laugh of a child. I love the star-like mea- dows where the buttercups grow, with almost the same enthusizsm as when, with my ring- lets flying loose in the wind and my cap hand, — ago, I chased the painted butter- fly.

Surr on the charge of indecently assault- ing « little girl, aged thirteen years, named ¢ les. trial with an oration from the Hon. J. Houghton, renal peg Cclesinal Hse in Sakae when which done hosor to the speaker and the oc- | tle prosecutrix stated the facts as they oc- curred. She stated that che was at the house of a man named Berry, from whom she had been taking lessons on the piano, and that Surr, who boarded in the house of Borry, entered the parlor where she was alone, and took liberties of a di al char- acter with her. While givin, testimony she was much affected and had the sympathy of nearly every personin the courtroom. An effort was made to prove that she was a of equivocal character, but it utterly |, a8 the witness summoned for that stated that he never knew an impropriety of which she was guilty. Upon tho whole statement of the case the court ordered him to be impris- easion. The speaker was frequently inter- rupted with bursts of applause, but tho length of the oration forbids us copying the whole of it; but as a specimen of its eloquence and beauty, we give you a few passages, which impressed themselves upon our memory with unusual foree. The speaker said, speaking of the Constitution : “Progress, prosperity, greatness—all that we are, all that we sat ‘to be, we owe to that great gift of our fathers, that great band of union and compromise—the constitution. Our gratitude for it should be heartfelt and endu- ring.
