On Saturday, the 20th of May, Father athfv Division celebrated its first Anni ,‘rsaty by a series of public exercises; af r which, the members, and numerous test* from other Divisions, partook of a impious dinner, provided by the ladies of j thens. At half past nine, A. M., the Hall of the : ivision was thronged by the members and ; nests, | when some preliminary measures J ere id pted. About ten, a procession I as forfned, embracing nearly two hundred I Beers [and members, decked in their np- i roprint. regalia. Preceded by a Band of | lusic, it marched through several streets I i thlPresbyterian Church, which was soon | ‘owd< and in every part. Thl exercises were opened with a fine j Ic, slug by the Church-choir ; after which, in R*v. Dr. Church, President of Franklin ulUff, and acting Chaplain of the Divis- j , n 3pvoked the blessing of God upon the ay, im l upon the great cause to which it ,-as devoted. He gave thanks for its past j access, and for the efficiency of the new ! leMurcs adopted for its furtherance. Another ode was then sung by the Choir, o the thrilling air of “ God save the King, ’ j ommeucing— “ My pledge 1 it is of live, Sweet vow of liberty, Os thee I sing!” BSpidrcds of glad voices were raised in isiSSu with tliose of the Choir, and swelled n rjli lmnnony with the noble sentiments if tH song. Tl > “ Orator of the Day,” Dr. Osborne . I (chrane, was then announced ; and a voui : man, whose ruddy cheeks and kind ling ye bespoke bis Milesian origin, arose ind egan an address, not the least admira ble liaractcristic of which was its enthu siasm tVe would not, however, do the yonap speaker the injustice to make bis en thusii *in the chief merit of liis oratory. It was lot lacking in the more solid qualities of the Art. Without attempting a sketch, hewlrcr brief, of the Address, we may de scribe it as replete with vivid fancies, spark lingHllustrations, unique metaphors, and glowing appeals. The manner of the speak er, and the accents of his voice, not less than liis ruii ly cheeks and kindling eye, pro claimed him a countryman of Phillips, of Kmmet, and of Curran. The Oration was receled with long-continued applause, at test#;; its impression on the large auditory. After its close, tlic Choir sung, with excel lentlifect, the following verses, to an ex quisite air, first wedded to a bacchanalian song: SPARKLING AND BRIGHT. Sparkling and bright in its liquid light, Is the water in our glasses ; ’Twill give you health, ’twill give you wealth, Ye 1 ids and rosy lasses. O, then resign your ruby wine, Ewcli smiling son and daughter ; There's nothing so good for the youthful blood, Or so sweet as the sparkling water. Bette; than gold is the water cold, From the crystal fountain flowing— A Oftlm delight, both day and night, To happy homes bestowing.

O, then resign, &e. a fervent thanksgiving by the Chap- j laifc, and the fine anthem —“ Praise God, frfllii whom all blessings flow,” —by the CMir, the Benediction was pronounced, and thJ public exercises of the day were closed. • jß u hour afterwards, the members of the Orlcr repaired, in procession, to the Town V, which had been beautifully decorated occasion, with evergreens, flowers, “letices and mottoes. Upon the wall in fr*it, were the significant questions of Holy Writ : “ Who hath woe ? who hath sorrow ? wfyi hath contentions ? who hath wounds, ■without cause ?”■—and the no less significant dlgponses: “ They that tarry long at the ‘ ‘Win s they that seek strong drink!” Grace ful festoons of intertwining cedar and holly, raliant with flowers, hung around the spa -ci(JU3 llall, and lent their sweet perfumes to the summer air. dinner was spread out upon three tildes, extending the whole length of the Tempting, indeed, was the display of rich viands, prepared so lavishly by the bounty of the Indies. We pay no undeserved tribute to the ladies of Athens, when we them unsurpassed in taste on •uch occasions ; but it really seemed as if they had now, for once, surpassed them- IBlves. Under the direction of Marshal Bunns, the large company was soon scat- M. the ITon. Judge Lumpkin presiding, Ji* 1 aided by the following Vice-Presidents : J. S. Linton, P. W. P. ; Wm. Phillips, ; Kcv. Dps. Church & Hoyt ; ■>. A shua y Hcll, and E. L. Newton, I#”!-- P. W. P. ■At the request, of the President, Ur. Hoyt a blessing upon the bountiful feast; for the next half hour, there was more faet than fancy—more of prose than poet —in the proceedings of the guests. The autifully decorated hams, the garnished the tempting pyramids of cake, the forms of jelly, all underwent a of mutilation. Fruits, pastry, ice c cams, and the other etceteras of a luxu- feast, were there in profusion; and it was not the lcnst luxury of the occasion, to see men, sitting at that festal board, surpri sed with viands such as tlicy bad never seen before, since tlicy were rescued by tlic Sons of Temperance, under God's blessing, from the paths of vice. The heart of the philan thropist could not he unmoved, to behold there —the honored guests of gentle, lovely woman—men who had, crewhilc.bccnspurn ed as outcasts from society. When the dinner was ended, a number of ladies —would there had been many more ! honored the Hall with their presence, and were seated on the left of the President, to hear the toasts and speeches which were to follow. And now commenced, indeed, “ The feast of reason and the flow of soul.” Wm. C. Richards, Esq., as Chairman of the Committee, appointed to prepare a scries of appropriate sentiments, announced, as the first in order, The Temperance Reformation. —Noble in its object, philanthropic in its mea sures, and glorious in its results —may it be universal in its triumphs. When the applause with which this senti ment was received had ceased, the Presi dent called on one of the Vice-Presidents, Hon. A. Hull, who responded in a brief but eloquent tribute to the excellence of the great cause. A playful query from the President then called out the Rev. Mr. Benning, of Savannah, in a brief reply. The second toast was now drank with enthusiasm: The Total Abstinence Pledge. —May eve ry one say, in the language of Sliaks pcare: “ My heart is thirsting for that noble pledge !” It was followed by the third: The Sons of Temperance. —A broth erhood, whose arms shall yet embrace tlic whole human family. When this sentiment was announced, there were numerous calls for the distin guished President of tlid Day; who, having for liis motto “ semper paratus,” promptly responded to the call, and paid a fervent tribute to the Order, lie said that lie had watched its progress from its cradle, and that he regarded it as a plan of God’s own ordaining, anew revelation in the great work of Temperance, appointed to succeed “ dispensations” that had accomplished their object, and were now passing away. His eloquence was never more fitly or happily employed. The fourth regular toast was then read: The First Anniversary of Father .Mat thew Division. —May its last be celebrated with the final extinction of Intemperance. This was received with three hearty cheers, and long-continued applause. The fifth sentiment was as follows : Oar Illustrious Godfather, the Apostle of Temperance. —A large family of Sons will welcome him to the shores of Freedom. The sixth : The Motto of our Order — Love, Purity and Fidelity. —A tlirce-foid cord that is not easily broken. The seventh regular toast was then an nounced : The Press. —The great moral lever which moves the world. Our cause acknowledges its power. To this sentiment, at the call of the Presi dent, Wm. C. Richards, Esq., briefly-re sponded, rejoicing that it was his happiness to further the great work, and pledging himself, and many of liis brethren of the press, for more zealous effort in the future. The eighth toast was then announced : The Reverend Clergy.—- Ready for every good word and work. Our cause finds in them unflinching advocates. The President called on Dr. Hoyt to ae j knowledge this sentiment, which he did in a I very felicitous manner, repeatedly provok j ing the rapturous plaudits of the whole as ! sembly. We regret that we have no space i to record liis mirth-moving anecuotes. The .venerable President Church, al- I so obeyed the call of the Chair, and pledged himself and his clerical brethren for con j tinned and increasing devotion to the good I work. The ninth regular toast was : The Bar. —While we would not divorce Spirit from the Bar, we desire that its Spir it may be that of Temperance. The Chair commended this sentiment to the notice of C. Prepi.es, Esq., who treated it in a most spirited manner, amid loud ap plause ; which was followed by the an nouncement of the tenth regular toast: The Medical Profession —The only pro per guardians ami administrators of Alco hol. We commend it to their safe-keeping. The eleventh regular toast was then read: Mechanics —The sinews of Society ; may they not be unstrung by Intemperance. To this sentiment, at the call of the Chair, Mr. C. S. Oliver made a very appropriate response. lie suggested that none could more eloquently reply to such a toast than the wives and children of reformed drunk ards. The twelfth regular toast was: Temperance Hotels. — “ Are not good wells And crystal springs The very things For our hotels 1” To this, after loud and repeated calls, Marshal Thomas pertinently responded, that he was no speaker, but if his friends would visit him at the Newton House, he would shew them how a Temperance Hotel could be kept! The thirteenth regular toast was then read : Our Fair Entertainers. —God bless them! This w r as received by the whole company standing, and with “ three times three,” most rapturously given. As soon as silence was obtained, the President called on Thos. R. K. Cobb, Esq. ; “ if ho had any thing in him, to say it now.” Mr. Cobb said—pointing to the Motto of the Division—that he would not answer for the Purity and Fidelity, hut that he had a great ileal of Love. He could respond to the toast with all his heart. But we may not report his speeeh, which called Mr. Pee ples to his feet in jdayful response, and might havc-*- “ Created laughter beneath the ribs of death !” Our limits will not allow us to record all id®EHanD© 8 the volunteer toasts which followed, and which, otherwise, it would give us pleasure to embrace in this notice. We must, how ever, find room for a few. The following was offered by the President: The Orator of the Day —A worthy rep resentative of the Emerald Isle, liis bril liant address has rekindled in our recollec tion the eloquence of Curran and Phillips. We welcome him, cordially, to this “ hand of the free and home of the brave I” Dr. Lochrane rose to reply, and, though evidently laboring under much embarrass ment, gave play to liis exuberant fancy in sparkling words. By W C. Richards, Esq.: The Order of the Sons of Temperance — An order for the extermination of Intem perance, which must and shall be obeyed. By John W. Burke, Esq., of Cassville, and a member of the Grand Division : Rev. Dabney P. Jones, our State Tem perance Lecturer. —May his efforts in the great cause of Temperance be crowned with continued success, until he shall strip King Alcohol of liis entire retinue. By C. Peeples, Esq. : The Hon. Joseph H. Lumpkin —Beloved alike for his frank and gentlemanly bear ing, and liis integrity and purity of charac ter. May lie long enjoy his exalted position and his blushing honors. By Thomas A. Burke : The Orator of the Day. — “Thy words had such a melting flow, And spoke of truth so sweetly well, They dropped like heaven’s serenest snow, And all was brightness where they fell.” By Jas. A. Sledge : The Ladies —who have encouraged us by their smiles : *■ May purity's white robe be spread In ample fullness round their fjrm ; Earth's choicest blessings on them shed, Life’s sunshine theirs, without its storm!” During the whole afternoon, the warmest enthusiasm prevailed, proving conclusively to every participant, that the spirit oj wine is not an essential element of social festivi ty, but that there is a far better spirit to promote and secure happiness on such occa sions—the spirit of love —love for our breth ren. Many an eye glistened with joy on this occasion, that had once been heavy with the stupor of inebriation ; many a head was lift ed up with grateful pleasure, that had once bung down in shame ; many a heart beat lightly, that once throbbed with feverish and unhallowed excitement; many a lip kissed with delight the cool, pure, and sparkling water, that once was parched with the liquid fires of deatli and destruction ! “ It is a day to be remembered,” said a friend to us, as we left tlic festive hall— grateful to woman, our lovely and loving entertainer—grateful still more to God, for life, health and Temperance! {jtj- Our Gossip is unavoidably excluded, this week, by the length of the leading arti cle in our department. £ljc tlcligtoufl lUorlb. The Baptist Triennial Convention. The rccont session of this body in Charles ton was largely attended and full of inter est. We have barely room for a glance at its proceedings. This is the second meet ing only 7, since tlic separate Southern organ ization, and was to have been held in Nash ville ; but the prevalence of the Cholera there, in April, rendered it advisable to change the place of meeting. The Conven tion met in Charleston on the 23d ult., at the first Baptist Church, the Rev. Dr. John son presiding. The most interesting topics discussed by the Convention, were the pro posed establishment of a Central Theologi cal Institution —the Instruction of the Col ored Population —and the opening of new fields of Missionary labour. A spirit of ex tended Christian benevolence characterized the measures adopted. On the Lord's Day, the Clerical Delegates to the Convention oc cupied many of tlic evangelical pulpits in j the City. Tlic session continued until the : noon of Monday, the 28th ult., when it ad- I journed to meet in Nashville, in 1852. Catholic Archbishops.

The principal news is, the passage of j the Bill for the Modification of the Naviga-; tion Laws, by 10 majority, in the Lords. — j This modification is almost a repeal, and its passage increases the security of the Whig ministry.

The complexion of the news by ( last Steamer is now entirely altered. The j French troops under General Oudinot, sol confident of a triumphant entry into Rome, j have been repulsed under its walls, and j compelled to take a remote position of de- j fence. His loss in the conflict is stated, at 200 killed, by the French official reports, but a letter-writer in Rome makes it 600, and nearly as many wounded. Gen.

It had contin ued, at intervals, for three days, and was still raging on tlic 7th ult.—generally to the disadvantage of the insurgents. Denmark.

The water has penetra ted beyond the centre of the City in one di rection, and all tlic streets from the Com mon to the Canal are overflowed. The Sauve Crevasse is said to be 300 feet wide, and the work of stopping it, a gigantic, if not hope less undertaking. Apprehensions nre min gled with hope that the continued fall of the river may prevent further disaster. Homeopathy and the Cholera. From our Western exchanges we learn that, in the City of Cincinnati, the Homeopathic prac titioners have treated a large number of Cholera patients with unprecedented suc cess. Out of 150 cases reported by them, only one resulted in death. Seven physi cians in Milwaukie, publicly advise the peo ple to adopt the Homeopathic treatment, in the event of a visitation from Cholera. Korecution of Goode. The execution of Washington Goode, for the murder of Thom as Harding, took place in Boston on the 25th ult. He was hung in the y 7 ard of the prison, a few witnesses only being present, though the scene was witnessed by many from the windows of the contiguous houses. The unhappy criminal attempted to commit suicide just before the hour appointed for his execution. lie lacerated himself with a piece of window glass, and lost much blood. Indian Depredations. Late arrivals from the Brazos bring news of an irruption of, the Camanches, and their descent upon Palo Alto, resulting in the dcstruation of life, and the captivity of numerous families, accompanied with many acts of savage bru tality. The aid of the Mexicans had been invoked and promptly granted. A meagre outline only of the affair has yet been com municated, but it is sad enough to excite our deepest sympathies with the sufferers, and our sincere regret that there is no effi cient military force in that vicinity.

Tributes from the North.— lt lias been frequently said, that the North sneers at Southern literary effort, and is ever un willing to acknowledge the merit, or scarce ly the existence of it. Our own experience in previous efforts, as in the case of the Ga zette, is exactly the reverse of this. No Journals in the South have bestowed more cordial praise upon our humble efforts, than many in the North. Let them speak for themselves. The Mammoth (Neal's) Gazette says: Richards’ Wekkky Gazette. —lt is a j’ear since the establishment of this paper, in a quarto form, and under the title of the “ Southern Lit erary Gazette.’* It has now entered on its new year enlarged and very much improved. No 1 of the new volume contains the first of the prize poems, “ Wachulla,” by .Mrs. C. H. Dubose, and a chapter of the first prize tale, by Mrs. Lee IKntz, a well known and popular Southern au thoress. Mr. R L-hards’ liberal offer has certainly resulted in securing gome most valuable articles for his readers. The poem by Mrs. Dubose is full of beautiful descriptions aud graceful fancy. As this is the only paper devoted exclusively to Southern interests, it ought to be most liberally patrouized by those for whom it is intended.
