THE WASHIN6TON GAZETTE. Wuhingtes, Wilkes County, Qa. The Fourth of July. This anniversary paseed, wo far at we know, without eny attention so the part of the people. Tbit neglect of the Jay waa probably not partic ularly owing to any disposition to undervalue tli# importance of the event it commemorates, bat from the fart that (or yews its observance had fallen info disuse—in fact, the “fourth of July” had gone out of fashion. Besides there teas a growing suspicion in the minds of many That after ali the commotion made about it, tbe "fourth of July” might have commemorated a great mistake, fiftd that the true history of the American llevdntion and its causes bad never lieen written and might not be to meritorious af ter all. It is true that American historians glo rified it with their customary grandiloquence as ons of the greatest events in the annale of Ibe world, but on the pages of those annals written by other than American historians, the separa tion of the colonies from the mother country oc cuptot so insignificant a space that we cannot help thinking that it was regarded with corres ponding indiference by the world. True the poor, pygmy,colonics grew up into a great nation but it may be a question w lielher their growth was not in spite of rather than because of the separation. Although it seems little short of blasphemy, yet the justice of the esmee which led to the American Revolution trill not bear a candid ex amination. 'lt Was not taxation without repre sent at mass is commonly asserted, for the Brit ish government 1 removed the obnoxious taxes with the reasonable expectation that when the alleged causes wore nrftoved the commotion would cense. It did not, ho sever, and the fact that it continued and burnt out into a bloody and prolonged war ia conclusive evidence that other and undeclared causes prompted the Revolution. Our forefathers, with reverence be it said, were as fund of office and political honors as their put terily and we are inclined to think that the gfand motirb for the Revolution was their ox elusion, as coloniste, from the honors and emolu merits Os a participation in the Government. Taxation alone never iastigatea re billion—the people who are, taxed the heaviest are usually the most quiet, they generally consider that it is more economical to give up a part than to risk all by rebellion. It is ecminouly those who ■ never tccl (lie tuxes they pay for (he support of tlietr government, who "wax fat and kick.” Tbe magnificent tone in which American Ills terians speak of the revolution may be owing ia part to the fact that they are mostly New England men, and are not indisposed to magnify the merits of any thing originating in their own section. It was a “Vankeo Notion” gotten np in Maasnrhu totle the other eohjiiies only followed her lead) and culminating in that ninbilient of the (inverse, Boston. It is natural then that they should not wish to depreciate their own Inven tions and should write ponderous volumes about an event that in uuivcrsnl history occupies scarcely half a page. These volumes condensed are (ought in our schools ami their boasts form Ore staple of fourth of July orations which used to be deli rerod by unfledged lawyers. What wonder then that in all this country there nevor has beeu th > man bold enough lo question the wisdom, poliey,justice or glory of 'the American Revolution. One would think however that tiro Boston his torians in glorifying their own revolution would lre.willing to give some credit to the originators of the late war and not be so ready to denounce them as traitors. The declared causes of the war were just os specious, whatever the real «aus« might have been. Substitute South Caro lina torSlassachusetU, Charleston for Boston and Fort Sampler for Bunker'# Hill and tiro general history of the one war will do for the other. In deed there are a good many very singular par allels In the two "rebellions" which the future historian will not.fail lo discover and comment upon. gar The American citizens of African descent celebrated tbe anniversary of our independence on Wednesday with abarbeetie. They siy they' had plenty to eat but the smart onsa grabbed more titan their share of the provender, leaving the simple ones diunerless. In consequence of this misappropriation of tjie viands a general row ensued, in which some blows were exchang ed. One fellow, wo hear, was struck over the skull with a gun, resulting in an alarming com minuted fracture—of the gun. Owing to the solidity of his head the recipient of (he blow nev er knew lie was hit. Sosas Ibscnex.—A thief a few days since managed to skulk into the National Bank of At lanta and while the Cssjiier's back was tumod, threw out Os a window packages of Greenbacks amount ing to several thousand dollars, bnt in at tempting to follow the money through the win dow, waa grabbed by the Cashier just in the nick of time. The money was recovered. M* A National Convention, jto be composed of delegates from all the Statea, has been called to meet in Philadelphia on the 14th day of Au gust. The gentlemen who sign the call are said to be of the conservative stripe of politics. A Conservative is, we believe, a sort of half breed between a Democrat and Radical. A special to the Tribonc from St. A (bans says that the report of a skirmish on Pigeon Mill w as caused by the votunter pickets mistaking some cows for an advance guard of Fenians. Tusocxmoitox, the conservative candidate for Gnveanor tis Texas, received a large majority in Galveeton on Monday at the election, and "will •rot probably be elected.

Athociocs Musdks—On Wednesday afternoon a moat atrocious murder was committed on tbe person of Mr«. Rollins, wife of John Rollins, near station No. 15, Central nond, Wilkinson county, Oa» by two negro men, Pomp O'Bannuu mid William, who entered tha house in the absence of the huslmnd, and demanded something to eat. Mrs. 1L rose to comply with their demands when she was assaulted with chibs and literally beaten to doth- An infant child and little girl, three years of age. were treated in the spine way and left for dead. One of the scoundrels, Pomp, is now iojail in this city, while liot pursuit is made after Wil liatn, who ia surrounded in the swamp, and will probably he caught to day. Money it ia thought was the object of the foul deed. The ItoLLtxa Tasoxov—As Pomp O'Braimon, one of the negroes ar.-eated on a rharge of being concerned in the murder, last week, of Mrs. Rol lins, near No. 15, Central Railroad, was being re moved from Macon on Saturday to Wilkinson Cos., for safe keeping and trial, the officers who had him in keeping were compelled to yield him to the stern demands of an excited populace iu the neighborhood of the murder, and he was then and there, summarily executed by/ re. The vic tim, we learn was chained to a stump, ligbtwoed heaped around him and set ablaae, by which he was tortured to death. This is horrible enough, ami a bad |>rocedent to set, now we have the ad ministration of civil law restored, partially, to ua. This law should prevail and we regret that there should luwc been any occasion for such exercise of vengeance. True, the rascal deserv ed the severest p um-hmeut,provided heVaa*guil ty of the cruel murder, of which We suppose there is no doubt, but that was not the way to vindicate the law or sustain the Conrta of Jus tice. The other and principal culprit is, we believe, yet at large, but it will be utterly impossible for him to escape much longer. —Macon CitUen. Death or Mas. Gilmkb—Richmond papers records the death, on the 21st inst, of Mrs. ljixa F. Gilmer, widow of the late Gov. George R. Gilmer of Georgia. She died at the residence of Dr. G. W.

During the first day of the panic in London the Submarine Telegraph Company transmitted and received two thousand one hundred and fifty five messages to and from the continent. Wasiukctox, June 28—The President to day *ent a message to the Hews# in reply to a reso lution requesting informal inn as to "whether any of thecivvl or military employes* of the Govern ment haveysaisted in the rendition of public honor to th# rebel firing or dead.

According to a telegram from Mon treal, a skirmish occurred on Friday evening, near Pigeon Hill, With a party of Fenians, who are said to have been on a rcconnoisance. A re port, evidently exonerated, was current that a large detachment of the Fenian army was in the adjoining woods. Tire skirmish does not appear to have lasted long. The Fenians. or those who were taken for Feafans, retreated after some twenty shots were ejfchanged, and nobody ap pears to have been hurt. The Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, according to the Paris Pmse, has requested financial ire sistaiico from Frat.ee, and lias declared his inten tion to abdicate ifinch Assistance is not accorded him.

It is proposed to purchase tire three Mexican States of Lower California, Sonora and Chihua hua, with the ultimate view of admitting them into tbe Union as Slates, at no distant day. The price naked for there three Stntes is *20,000,000, and ths persons who bring them into market and offsr to sell them are vx President Juarez, Senor Romero, and John C.

AaxaxsAs—A cotemporary stales that some excitement was breallied in tlie neighborhood of Mrs. llabb’s opposite Friar's Point, a week, ago, by the repeated assertion of one of the negroes that a mills had spoken to him—-a fact which the negro’* action seemed to corroborate The cir cumstances ns related to us by -good authority arc as follow*: The negro was plowing with the mule, when he lieeame cxaapoftjfel at its slowness aud began to wbiAi ih,u*ms»s®Hy; whereupon the mule shook (he harness off, Mil confronting the negro, order ed him to “ces*eVhipping him, and go home and pre|«re himself, far tlie Day of Judgment waa soon coming, when he would meet his just re ward." The negro immdiatcly fled to the house and re lated thooecutrenco, laboring the whilo under the moat inteuse excitement, lie is now a raving maniac, and has to be confined; but, before the attack of the malady, lie couldnot, under any cir cumstances, be induced to go near the wonderful, prophesying mule. An ingenious Yankee in New Orleans lias been engaged In making thread from the stalks of the cotton plant. It is very fine and strong, and looks very much like flax, being very soft and pliable He proposes to make this thread into cloth, which he says w ill be aa atrong and dura ble as that made from cotton itself. Forty pounds of thread can be made from one hundred tmd twenty pounds of stalks. Anew factory will soon be established for lire manufacture of cloth from this substance. This discovery is not anew one. It has been known for several years that there was a a fibrous substance in the cot ton stalk which very much resembles flax, but it has never before been put to practical use.— Should Ibis prove successful, it will double the value of the cotton plantations of the South, Hie next invention in onler for the development of the South ie, s method ol making paper from sugar eano stalks. Whoever doe* lias ought to make a fortune. Let as a Colisoe Fsksjdkxt— A correspondent "ofthe Baltimore Bun, writing from Lexington, V n-, gives the following account of Oen. Lee: Gen. Leo Is in all respects a real, active, working and most effective President. Besides attending to tlie general interests and administration of the institution, he visits, from time to time, the different lecture rooms, attends recitations, and receives weekly reports of the standing and prog ress of all the students in the several schools, Ac 1 have been informed, bv good authority, that the General keeps such constant and attentive super vision over the affairs of tlie college, that he ia always familiar with the relative standing in liis classes held by each of the hundred aud fifty students now in attendance. The New York Nation takes tire ground that we need ageneral marriage law for the whole Un ion as much and more than we need a general system of coiasge. “All American men and, wo men,” it says, “ought to be married, anti an A merienn children to be born tinder the same law. It may lie added that so lax are the laws of dr vorce in some of the Stales, that tire reverend Doctor, llorey, of Newton, has lately published a little volume in which the Christian law of di vorce is made obligatory on all Christiana, any thing in the laws of the States contrary notwithstanding. By this rulu crime or death can alone dissolve the marriage relation. Five years ago a man in the Ohio State prison succeeded iu making his escape. A few days ago he returned and expressed a desire to serve ouihis term. Theeniy explanation given is that while out of prison he got married —it would be ungkllant to say anything more. A case of murder, too horrid for recital, oc curred near Medina. New York, on the ISth in stant. A clergyman, named Lindsley, whipped his son a child, three years old, so savagely that it died under the infliction. In the state ment before The coroner's jury, the father con fessess to have continued tbe chastisement for more than two hours. Ob the 16tli uIL. a Mr. Woodwasd, while riding to Edenton, S.

Mr. Woodward recover ing so far aato return home, related the circumstances to the proper authorities, and the ne|ro was soon after arrested and loJged in A parly of New Orleans youths, just bursting into manhood, went up town a few nights ago to compliment a young lady friend of one of the Eig gentlemen by a serenade. They hid bare tue to execute one plaintive air, when a win opened and a masculine voice good naturod ly inquired. How many of are there!” “Four,” returned tbe serenaiters, thinking the inquiry had probable reference to refreehmeote. “Divide that among you, then, ” returned tbe individual at lire window, as he emptied the fluid contents of a water pail over the beads just then massed ( together. General Fisk rent recent! v a Corporal and a squad of troops to Jackson county, Terra, to lib erate a colored boy, about 16 years old, whom a white man persists in holding in slavery. This man maintains that since the abolition of tbs Freedmen’s Court slavery lias beeu restored in Tcnneesee. Tlie order relative to the appointment of dis charged soldiers as clerks and mease ngers in preference to civilians has been closely observed in tbe Interior department of the Government. The position heretofore filled bv nearly two hun dred clerks are'now occupied !>v an equal num ber of discharged soldiers, and the applications of any who have not served in either the army or navy will Hot receive favorable notice. Tire following is a somewhat ludicrous calcn lotion, on lire idea that there is one rat and ten mice per-acre in the country.

Tlie Washington stir,in stating that published income# were not alwaye reliable, speaks of a smart young nun who, on the strength ofa big income return made by him, married an betrcss, with the blessings of the fond parents, which blessings soared somewhat suddenly into “cusses” when !l was discovered that the income return was logos and not at all ‘.'conclusive,” though of course appearing as the official return of the collectors and published as such in tire news papers amongst tbe big incomes. Some negroes of Mobile lately entered into a plot, the object of which waa to entice a mem ber of Hie banking firm of James Tail A Cos, to tbe edge of tire city, murder him and then pos sess themselves of bn keys to enter and rob lire bank. Th', scheme was betrayed by an honest negro, wire pretended to be acting in concert. Several negroes iu (lie vicinity of Tlroraastou, Ga, violate htheir contracts recently, and lining arrested, resisted incarceration in tlie jail, which created great excitement, eudingin.a riot, which resulted in the death oftbeveral persons, white and black. Tlie negroes were finally over pow ered WMqycd. A murder, almost ns tragical as the late Deer tng murder in Philadelphia, occurred in Grange county, Ind, on tbe 19tb inst. A man bv tbe name of Bnmide/o. having been indicted for the crime of arson, swore vengeance oa a family who were to oppenra* witnesses against him, and succeeded m muttering every one of them—a father, mother, daughter and grandmother.
