ANCE OF THE DAY BY THE VETERANS OF 1812—THRE SPLIT IN THE VETERANS—DINNERS OF TBR RIVAL OBGANIZATIONS AT THE STAR HOTEL AND MERCER HOUSE—ORATION OF JOBN 3B. BOOLES, ET. ‘The Veterans of 1812 observed the return of Indepen dence Day with a great deal of spirit, They fired off salutes, paraded, eat dinners, made speeches, and alto- gether bad a very pleasant time, The Veterans have within @ year had some trouble in their rasks, aud re cently they have split into two organizations, one calling themselves the senior, being under the leadership of Ool. Raymond, and the other un¢ er the command of Col. 4. W. Jones. Notwithetanding this apparent rivalry, the utmost good feeling prevails bet ween the members of the two or ganizations, and the difficulty is @ sourse of much regret to the friends of the Veterans. To enable the old men to spend the day property the Committee of the Common Counc appropriated $225 to each organization, with the understanding that they should spend the money for band, dianer, &c. SENIOR VETERAN CORPS OF 1812. ‘This corps, under the command of Colonel Raymond, met im uniform at the Mercer House, early im the morning, and marched to the Battery, where they fired a national ealute. They numbered somo eighty men, and were accompanied by Cannell’s band. The feature of the parade was the presence of an old Revo Jutionary patriot, Mr. Isaac Daniels, 102 years of age This ancient soldier served in the Revolutionary war, aad atao im the war of 1812 He lives in Bedford, Westchester county, The old man ooked hearty and ‘ikely to hve many years yet ; his bair is well preserved, though very white, the top of his head alone bsing bald. ' He has eight ebildren living, four sons \nd four daughters. Que of his sons, an old man of 70, was with him, and looked as old ae the father. Mr. Daniels and a number of the bliad and infirm soldiers were in barouches, from one of which hung ® banner with this Inscription :— ANNAN OOOCOROODADE DEE DANONE PEED D VETERAN OF 1776, AGKD 102 YRARS, ATTENDED THE VETBRANS OF 192. eens nnnnoonees worooe Shortly after twelve o’closk the Veterans paraded through the Park, where they were reviewed by Governor King. They {then marched to the Mercer Houre and partook of @ cold collation, and then lisenod to speeches from Colonel Raymond, Rey. Mr. Taylor, of the Five Points Mission Mr. Van Zandt and Alder nan Wilkon. ‘Toasts were given in honor of the day, and alto gether the Veterans ev) ,yed themselves remarkably well THE OTHER VETERANS met at the Star House, in Lispenard street, whero they partook of a collation, to which some forty persons sat - disposing of the good things toasts were few speeches made. In response to one of the toasts Jou B. Sones, Fsq., spoke as follows:— Fri.ow-Cmzexs—We have met together to celebrate the eigbty-tirst anoiversary of American independence. Each revolving year imparts an increased interest and my ce to the event we this day celebrate, for it far- piebes additional proof of the etability of the republic When the thirteen colonies revolted against the m thor country the question was whether they could achiove their independence. They did achieve their independence because they were united as well as devoted in their ef forts, and stood shoulder to shonider in the great conflict It was aunion of mind and “hear; and physical energy that could not be broken o* weakened. ok at that oo. ble body of men, the Continental Congres. Purer and more eniightened patriois never were assembled together. Each member of bat iUuatrions band felt that he was not the representative of the particular section of country that sent him, but the representative of the wh country The rights, the interests, the honor and prosperity of his whole courtry were bis absorbing object, his exclusive fim. It was the man of the North—Jobn Adams, of Mas sachusette—who named as the leader of the armies of (ne Revolution, the man of the South, George W. gt on, of Virginia, and tbat uemioation war bailed with enthusiastic accamatitn by all, from tbe North and the Soa.b, th Fast and the Wert The battle was fooght and the victor was won by a united army. Warren and Huino diet martyrs in the rame great cause, although one fell upon the battle field at Bunker Hill, and the other yielded up his life upon a seatfod in Syath Carolina. The fame historic page will tranrmit to the | admiration of distant pesterity the heroic valor and pa. triotic worth of'a Greene, a Lincoln and a Wayne. By the blessing of Providence, and the guidence of our own im mortal Warbington, our independence was accomplished The thirteen univd colonies became thirteen intepondent States. The question then was, shall we preserve our ia dependence? With true wisdom, to e that indepen- dence, our fathers framed the feceral constituli 2—the | bond of our rnion—the sheet anchor of our political safety. That constitution was framed in the eptrit of frateroal com promise—with reference to the conflicting optaions and | {nteresta of the different sectirms of a common country; ‘and it can only be preserved tn the same spirit which gave it birth, By that constitution the rights of every on of oor country aregecure. Under thet conati utio. we have increased and prospered, and become one of : ie reatest nations of the earth Let us cherish itns the Eeecy of a patriotic ancestry, Le} us cliog to it as our strength and security, whatever threateuing clouds may darken our horizon. ‘That constitation has been our pro tection in time of peace—it has beem our sapport 'n ime of war. And now let me say a few words aboattne war of 1%12—and I will say nothing to which the heart of overy true American will not respoad, whatever may be bis | opinion in regard to the causes of that war 1 koow that many an bonest and patriotic man waa opposed t» that war; but when the flag of bis country was unfurled, aud the fost of the invader was uoon bis soil, he buckled on his sword, and struck valiantly “for her altars and Lor fires.’ That war is a glorious era in the history of our country. It presents an instance of high daring aad bold self re iance rare in the history of nations. By the two great Powers that were contending for supremesy—the ‘one the mightiest on the land, the other the mightiest on the vea—our neutral rights were trampled down. tn scorn of our youth and w ed weakness. This repaol'c, then, as it were, “in the gritle, and not yet hardened int the bone of manbood,’’ declared war against the power which could do ber the most harm—tho Power mighties: on the sen. Here was a fearless courage that en'orces respect. How bravely and how well she maintained the unequal conflict is shown by the victories she won on tho rea and ‘op the lak: here a Hull, a Bainbridge, a Decatur, a Perry and sdonough covered themselves wih glory. And op the land, shall we ever Chippeway, and Lundy’s Lane, and Tippecanoe, and New Orleans—forever to be asroeiated with the names of a Harrison, « Soott and a Jackson? That war drew upon us the attention of the world, It prociaimed to every pa‘lon the determination of the American people, It said by decisive actioa, speak ing louder than words, “We know our righ's, aud kaow ing dare maioiin them,” 1 rejoioe that wo are at poace with the great nation with which we then contended rejoice at the kind aod respootful feeling whica now exirts betweea us.

Our Kentucky Correspondence. Laxincton, Ky., July 4, 1867, Corner Stone Consecration of Clay’s Monument at Lexingion: Ky., July 4, 1867. Your columns will not be disgraced, Iam contidint, by a skeich ofthe proceedings of this, one of the greateit days in the history of Kentucky. Fifty thousand persom have assembled here in honor of the deceased statesman—have patiently endured the fatigue, heat and dust incident io great public ceremonialsesbave listened to a masterpiece of eloquence from the lips of one who is bimself a breath. ing type of oratory—have returned home with enlarged love and respect for Henry Clay. May I ask space, then, for the consecration of the corner stone of the monament to whose erection #0 many of your readers have in years past con'ributed? ‘The pian of the Clay monument is by Mr. J.

I wok aavantege of the firat o portunity after the arri val of ihe Niagara to visit the factory at Birkeuhead, in which, as I informed you in a previous letter, the cabio war completed long be’ore the time of the contract bad expired. The portion of it which is nteaded fur the xbores of Newfoondiand and |'«land is to be manufac.ured at Greenwich, and will be altogether ab ut forty miles in length. Of this twenty five miles are intended for the Trish coast, and the remaining fifteen for the Newfound Jand tide. This part—that is the forty miles of coast sab'e, ar itshould properly be termed—will be pru‘ected by a heavier armor of iron w: to enable it the better to with stand the action of the water, or any abrading pro eas to which it may be subjected by contact with stoves, rocks or gravel. On foundiand side the company bave been favored to a great extent by the natural a lapta tion of the coast to the great work ia which they have em. barked. Trinity bay, the point which has been scleced for the landing of the cable, has a depth of witer varying from one hundred to one hundred and @fty ‘athoms, aad is protected by bold headiands, which act as barriers ageinet the hvge icebergs that are brought do rn every @ummer ino this part of the ecean by the strong northerly currents, Once inside of there headlands, an’ free from the uncertainties which attend ocean navigation at all ae tops of the car off the Banks, the great work of laying the cable may be said to be accomplished. Oa the other hand the difficulties to be encoun‘ered in approaching the coast must not be under estimated, for afier al they are of a rerious character. It in probable we shall have wost erly winds, interspersed occasionally with a gale by way of variety, and in addition t» this #¢ may meet with «tow unwelcome customers in the shape of bergs and fields of tee, so that all things considered oor portion of the task is really the most dificult Tne westerly winds which the Niagara will meet on her approach to the terminus of the lise oa the Newfoundlaod side will be favorable to the Agamemnon, which wiil also be clear of thoee unpleasant vi-iiers from the arctic re gions that are generally to be seen tn the month of August on and around the Banks Valentia bay is not so well protected as Trinity, and is more open to the ocean, but those bold headlan ts which are #0 arcessary on the other side are not required here, as the Irish coast is out of the rane of both icebergs and ice felds. From these few facts you can fo-m some idea of the difficulties attending this undertaking, and of the hazard. ous nature of the whole enterprise. If \t succeeds—and the chanees of ita svccess, judging from preseat ap ear ances, are very favorable— it #ill be the most profiiable enterprise ever started, aud log tne most ean guipe expectations; bat then if it should fail, its failure will be attended with a loss of nearly two millions of dollars. such a failure would po tpone the accomplishment of it perhaps for a whole gevera tion, for men are genera ly very caiftious about eugagiog in kK which requirer sucb a0 immen-e ex en Liture, and ery name of which is couplet with defeat been told, however, that sceed on the first attemp!, the present stock hoiders will reinvest fur @ fresh start, that © pew cable wid b immediately manufactured, and that ruch precaudons Will be taken on this second attempt as to ecure iin suc ceasfal accomplishment.

RS Newall & Co., of Birkenhead, is concerned, was celebrated yesterday by a banquet, given in one of tre transit sbeds of the Birkenhead Dock Estate Station, which bad béen converted fur the ovcasion into a splendid banqueting salom. The hall was beautifully docnrated with flags and banoers, inter sperted with ivy aud otberevergreen wreaths. Fes- toons of baoneretts were stretched across ia four ranges, and decorated with oak, sycamore and laa- rel. Tep chandeliers, ornamented in a similar man- ner, gave abundance of light, aud condaced, in a high degree, to the general beauty of the scene. Covers were lvid tor 700 on twelve rows of trans- verre tables; the chairman's table, elevated about a foot above ‘he general level, ovenpied the whole of the east side of the shed, 120 feet in leagth, the breadth of the shed being 16 fect. m * Mr. Newan reponded. He said—Gentlemen, for wiser partners 1 thank you most beartily. [ am deligoted to see you all here—the workmen who assisted us 80 materially during the last three or four months. (Hear, hear.) 1 hope, as Mr. Picker- ing suggested. we shall, in the courseof a few months have another cable to make ‘or :te Atlantic; in a ebort time we shall havea Mediterranean, so that I may hove the work kenbead will be continued.

Ou Christmas day th place now fil'ed sith machinery, was filled to th roof with bones—since then, the whole machi with a trifling exception, has been made; aud look- ing at the resnits today, you will gree #itn me our success has been unprecedented. We have kept our undertaking almost to the day. Four mouths »go we fixed upon the 6th of Jae for the completion.

I hope this will induce them to con- fide all the r fatare cables to Birkeahead. (Cheers. ) aa) Mr. Newsns again rose and said—In carrying on the important work on which for tne lost ‘ew months we have been engaged, wo have been ably assisted by Mr. Reid, one of the oldest electricians in the country. Nearly all who are here are aware of the great assistance we have received from the very great and efficient services he rendered to us as superintendent. He has been diligent and care‘ul in his repeated experiments, to aecectain that ali was corre t in our proveedings. It has been a matter of regret thas we have not gene with us Mr. Bright, the eogincer, aod Mr. ‘ hitehonse, the electrician to the company. In con- cluson, let me propose the healths of Messrs.

(Cheers.) I have much satis- faction in bearing testimony to their enterprise, in- dustry, and inte:ligence, and on their vehalf, as well a8 on my own, I toank you. fCheera.) Before concluding the report of these interesting proceedings, we may be permitted to add a few fects relative to the progress of the work. On the 18th of November last, Mesary. Newell & Co. sent in a tender, offering to execute the half of the cable, but aiso stating that they were willing to contract for the whole, and t» have it all. or the half, as the case might be, ready before the 30th of Jane instant. On or about the Sth of December last received ap acceptance of their tender for the half, or 1,260 miles, of the cable, to be finished at tie time stated above. At the time this con’ract #us taken Merete. Newell & Co. had t> look out for prerawes ip-which to carry on the important and lavorious undertaking. They were fortunate in beiog able to complete a negotation with the corporation of Liv- erpool for the use of premises in which to execute t.eir work. This done, the premises had to be cleared out and fittedup., The iene? had to be derigned, patterns bad to he made, and 9 hundred machires cast and fitted up tor covering the gutta purcha casing of the telegraphic wires, and spianing them into strands. For the iron wire, of which 175,000 miles {g used, they contracted with Messra. Richard Johnson & Brothers, of Manchester, and for the gutta percha coating they contracted with the Gutts Percha Company; acd all of these sub- contracts were most punctaally fulfilled. When commeucing their work, Mesars. Newell & Co. expressed their intention of having it comoleted op the 6th of June, and such was their diligence, celerity and accuracy of working, that they had the whole completed on the 8th, orly one working day bebind the time originally intended by them. This punetnal y becomes the more singular and praise- worthy trom the fact that they did not commence spinning the cable till the 18th of Februsry, and even ‘hen only in an experimental menner, as on the Ist of Murch they had only completed a few miles of the coil; and tae nive adjustment of the apparatus may be guessed from the fact that the machinery had to make 735,000,000 revolutions in spinning the strand. : * * * * We are glad to learn that Messrs. Newall & Co, have just concluded a contract for 1000 miles of more cable, to be laid down in connection with Sar- dinia, Malta and Corfu before October 31, Catholic School Kxbtbt ton in Boston, PERFORMANCE OF AN OPERATIC DRAMA BY THE YOUNG LADIES—LIST OF CHARACTERS —PROMINENT BORNES.
