The Centennial year of American In dstM-ndence has opened with tin- promise of an eventful period. The mighty Sp-r --it of Change broods over the world, and everything indicates the near approach of gigantic revolutions in rdjgion, in politics and in society. The decTmc of Inn* trial intel kctu.il a country as Otrniany : the bold and aggressive warfare waged against infidel scientists by our ablest divines, and the wonderful revivals in England, Scotland' "lid America are all calculated to encourage the hearts of Christian worker#. In secular affairs, progress is still the order of the day. The world's politics are keeping pace w ith the demands of the age. The French Republic has stir vivetl the intrigues of Hoiinpartists and Orleanista, anti'to day presents a more substantial front than at any time since its birth.

But if misgovern meat is to continue wo can expect noth ing but general bankruptcy. The good sense-and marvelous energy of our peo ple fortunately repel all such gloomy apprehensions. We believe our country will hold its owu in peace and in war. In society it is to bo noted that every thing is settling to its proper level. Our surplus population is pushing out to the far West; w\ men arc becoming selt tmpporiing; the sons of our best fain - liis are receiving a more prnot’cal edu cation, and in all circles, among the wealthy as well as among the pooiyhcre is a mauitest tendency to retrenchment and reform. When families begin to set their faces against extravagance ; when a wise policy originates among the peo ple, then and not till then may we ex pect to see a similar course p ursued by our rulers. The people nro to day ahead of their leaders, and this fact will tjoon impress itself upon the policy of .tin country.

Its two best points were brevity and line writing. The brevity was original with the author, arid tho fine writing •was borrowed, with ..ut credit, from Mac an lay.

The difli.-ulty originated In a dispute about the possession of a chair.” A very provoking thing to hap pen at a holiday entertainment, but tlu-ic are regions in this broad land of social freedom where it takes a good dial to break up a party or impair its sociabili ty. While we would hardly like to von t are on the statement that the “social party” went on as before, we confess our curiosity as to that dispute overUi’eown ership of a-chair. To the coming nov elist it would be an invaluable incident in the delineation of border beauty and ruffianism. A lenifi : tornado passed twelve miles east, ot IHckman on Sunday evening, ■Sweeping down the whole fore t in its pathway. The force of the wind was so great that persons can now walk ov r the trunks of trees where bd re was a douse of woods.

At Mayfield two persons were'crushed to death under the niius of their houses, and a negro killed outright. At another point a man named Chuoks.and a Miss Searcy were killed, while her sister was badly crip pled. A hotel nt lieelfoot lake was blown down, the guests barely escaping. Some were badly bruised by the falling timber. Death and destruction left their trace along the entire tiack of the tornado, which made a noise that could be heard for miles. Richmond, Virginia has fifty churches, of which nearly one half the population of the city are members. 'I ho Sunday schools have over 15,0 )() scholars.

Laura Ileam, in a recent letter to the Cincinnati Commercial, asserts that President Grant has lost ail his money in speculation and is yery pom-. No body believes that, but the President may he foolish enough to start such a story to stir up his friends to renewed efforts to put him into a third term with the emoluments thereof. One hundred Georgia newspapers and seven Georgia grand jurors want a shortening of crlrnn and tiia's, on tie score of economy ; good wagon road s ; a dog law, as a protection to sheep rak ing; and consolidation of comity offices, for the purpose of effectin economy in pgb'ic expenditures. The latter’ propo sition is one seriously to be considered by statesmen, as is also an additional one to consolidate weak counties terri torially.—[N, V. Herald.

Gold is one of those Unknown and uncertain qualities to build upon which, subject to the laws of trade, is building a house upon sand. We ha lt upon it hi fore the war. We were constantly being ctranded and swept away. With the greenback as the only money receiv able for all public taxes and all private debts, there can be no such thing as a i financial panic.—[Cincinnati Enquirer (Dcm.) # Bishop Haven has been talking about the third term, away out in Omaha. He thinks Grant is going to ‘bo .reelected, and that Mr. Blaine will defeat himself by trying to’ imitate Grant too closely. The most importutnt bill for the South which has been introduced in Congress at this session is one directing the Sec retary of the Treasury to pay to the owm rs, or their heirs or assigns, with out interest, the amount of the proceeds [of sale of anv land for direct taxes made by the United States in the late insurrectionary States.
