The Celebration at Adairsville.
On Friday last, 24th inst, the Masonic
Fraternity of Adairsville Lodge, with a
number of visiting brethren of the order
from adjacent Lodges, celebrated the
birth day of St. John—known among the
order as St. John's day. Early in the
day crowds of this ancient Order, and al-
so of outsiders, of which we were one,
poured in at the various thoroughfares
leading to the square of this pleasant vil
lage. At 11 o'clock A. M. the Fraternity
repaired to the Lodge room to arrange the i
procession. It was not long before the
procession made its appearance, marchin]

No one will deny that marriage is an

should not marry under all circumstances.
Men that do not feel a perpetual soul-flow

brightness of the sun as twilight, compar
ed to woman’s smiles, and the cries and
pratling of babes paramount to the sound
of an Afolian harp, should never marry.

erected, our eyes caught sight of a beaut i- j lived on it were from that State. \V c no-
ful arch made of evergreens, and flowers j ticed in passing along some beautiful res-
of various hues tsslcfully entwined. This
satisfied us that beauty’s hand had loaned
her aid to make the da_v and occasion in
teresting. The grove was beautiful, af
fording a dense shade, to protect us from
the rays of the sun ; while the rippling of
the stream near us, and the gushing of a
spring of pure cold water within a few
feet of the stand, lent an additional en
chantment to this lovely place.
The audience being seated, the exerci
ses of the day were opened by- the Chap

fanners were harvesting their oats, which
appear to be fine. So far as we could

the head, although it had to some extent
injured the blades. The country between
this and our destination is just sufficient

in which it was sung.
The orator of the day, President Ram-
baut, of Cassville, was then introduced,
who entertained the assemblage with one
of those learned and eloquent orations
which he is so competent to deliver. Wc
would do injustice to the orator and the
subject were wc to attempt to give even
an outline of his address. Suffice it to
say that he demonstrated clearly the an
tiquity of the order, even to ages the most
have seen in the county. Owning a large
body of very productive land, he has sur
rounded himself with all the comforts of
life. We dined with him, and though our
first visit, his social manners and gener
ous disposition very quickly made us easy
and comfortable. He has the best spring
of water we bare seen. There was not
much business in Court, and it was soon

1 have been unsuccessful in my super
ficial researches in the old Testament his
tory, and in the annals of Greece and
Rome, to find that such a thing as an an-
tedeluvian old maid or bachelor ever ex
isted. From the days of St. Paul’s elo
quent dissuasion from marriage, the num
ber commenced rapidly to increase. His
language stands pre-eminent, and speaks
for itself. “ It is better not to marry.”—
Since the time of St Paul, wc find men
to numerous to mention giving the same
admonition.

what time a man should marry, replied,

This article could be extended indefi-

advanced to settle the question that men
have the right to marry or not, and they
should not be censured by society as be

Lord Bacon observed unmarried men are

This is the nature of our bachelors—they
are cheerful and open-hearted, and at all
times ready to extend the generous rights
of hospitality to all. If I were to give
vent to my selfish proclivities, I should
prefer that they do not marry. If they
were to enter the matrimonial ranks then
their generosities would lie centered a-
round the family circle. Wa have the
right socially to demand of them to pre
pare themselves to play their parts in the
grand drama of human affairs. Those of

The following is an extract from a let
ter of Major General Wool, United States
Army, on the present aspect of affairs in
Europe. A letter from such a source, at

seen, it is a mere extract; but there is a
vein of philosophy running through it
which will repay a close attention:
Charleston Mercury.
Troy, May, 1859.
The war in behalf of the people of Italy
by the Emperor of France against Austria
portends anything but their “ civilization
and independence.” A million and a half
of men in arms can be of no benefit to It-
ally, Austria or Franca On the contrary,
they will only increase the power that al
ready overrides the down trodden-people
of Europe. The Emperors and Kings of
Europe have their feet on the necks of their j Emperors" succeed^
subjects, and they will keep them there
against all efforts to the contrary. Anv
attempt to relieve them will only increase
their burdens and tighten upon them the
chains of despotism. The people of France,
Germany, Italy and Hungary, have each
in turn struggled for liberty and indepen
dence; but what have they gained ? Noth
ing but oppression made more oppressive.
The monarchs of Europe are sustained by
large armies, which the people cannot get
rid of. This power, which is fastened up
on them, is the result of wars caused by
their efforts to substitute liberty and con
stitutional government for despotism and
tyrannical rule.
The Emperor of France proclaims his
intention to give “civilization and indepen
dence” to Italy. AVe might have confidence
in this declaration but from the fact that,
while he would release the people ofltaly
of the iron rule of despotism, we find a
national debt of nearly or quite two thou
sand millions of dollars oppressing the
wealth and industry rf his own people
which never can be cancelled, besides the
expense of an army of eight hundred thou
sand men. A similar declaration on the
part of Austria, which might be made with
equal propriety in regard to France, would
be considered rediculous. But does the
Emperor Napoleon include in his inten
tions all Italy, or only Lombardy and Ve
nice? With eight hundred thousand men
in arms, ready to obey his mandates, and
his enthusiastic adherents encouraging him
in his mission, will he be content with on
ly dispossessing Austria of her Italian de
pendencies ? Is there not something else
than the liberation of Lombardy and Ve
nice from Austrian oppression, some hid
den or secret cause, that has prompted
Napoleon to organize a military force un
paralleled for magnitude and efficiency in
the history of European wars ?
War is a great evil, and the greatest that
can befall any people or country, and has
ever bee- the curse of nations. It never
should be resorted to but in defence of
right and justice, and to prevent serious
injuries meditated by other powers, lj
was war that destroyed the ancient repub
lics of Greece and Borne. It has been the
cause of reducing Turkey, Sweden and
Spain from being first powers to little eb*
than dependencies of Russia and France-
and Austria, from the same cause, appears’
to be on the eve of being placed in a siini-
lar condition. War seldom promotes the
prosperity or civilization of nations. Com
pare the advancement of the people in Eu
rope in prosperity and civilization in the
last forty-four years of peace with that of
the two centuries preceding, it will be dis
covered that the advantages and benefits
of peace over war is beyond calculation
The people ofltaly are struggling for what
Louis Napoleon has promised them, “civ
ilization and independence.” When the
contest is over, no matter which of the
Te Deum will be
sung in all the churches in honor of the
glorious success of his Imperial Majesty;
but no Te Dcum will be sung in honor of
the people. Their glory will consist in
seeing their beautiful country laid waste
and themselves left destitute and helpless
—and thus it will be until another Empe
ror devastates the land of the Caesars—
whose word at one period was law to all
Europe—under the disguise of giving the
people “civilizationand independence."
Eights and Liberties of Naturalized
Citizens.
Department of State, )
Washington, June 14, 1859. j
Sir : In answer to your letter of the 6th
instant, I have to inform you that the brief
letter from this Department, to which you
refer, dated the 17th of May last, and ad
dressed to Mr. Felix Lc Ulerc, was in re
ply to an application for information, and
was principally intended to recommend
caution to our naturalized fellow-citizens,,
natives of France, in returning to that
country, as the operations of the French
conscription law were not precisely known
here, and might bear injuriously upon that
class of American citizens. Most of the
continental European nations have a sys
tem of military organization by which their
citizens arc compelled to serve in the ar
my, by conscription as in France, where
the duty is designated by lot, or by draft
as in Prussia, where every person is re
quired to take his turn as a soldier. The
condition of American naturalized citizens,
returning to their native country, where
the system of compulsory service prevails,
and who have left before performing such
service, has frequently been the subject of
discussion with some of the European pow
ers. Quite recently it lias arisen between
the United States and Prussia, and the

the past. Has not the unconquerable per-! attention of the Prussian government. In
severance of Austria, as w ell as England,
>n opposing the giant strides of Napoleon
the First to universal dominion over Eu-
the instructions which were sent to him,
dated May 12, 1859, it was explicitly sta
ted that this Government is opposed to
rope, something to do with the tender feel- j the doctrine of perpetual allegiance, and
ings of his Imperial Majesty so strongly
manifested towards Italy ? Does he not
as well as all France, hold in remembrance,
never to be forgotten, the treachery of Aus
tria and her abandonment of Napoleon the
First on his disastrous return from Mos
cow, which sent him to Elba ; and his de
feat at Waterloo, which annihilated his
power and chained him to the rocks of St.
Helena ? Envy, hatred and revenge nev
er sleep. The conduct of Austria and Eng
land towards Napoleon I., and more espe
cially Austria after her marriage alliance
with the master mind of the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries, must be atoned
for. The veneration of the French people
for the character of the “ little corporal,”
who, though dead, still lives and reigns
in the hearts of all Frenchmen, prompts
maintains the right of expatriation and
the right to form new political tics else
where. Upon this subject it is observed
that, “ in this age of the world, the idea
of controlling the citizen in the choice of
a home, and binding him by a mere polit
ical theory to inhabit for his lifetime a
country which he constantly desires to
leave, can hardly be entertained by any
government whatever.” The position of
the United States, as communicated to the
minister of Berlin for the information of
the Prussian government, is, that native-
born Prussians, naturalized to the United
States and returning to the country of
their birth, are not liable to any duties or
penalties except such as were existing at
the period of their emigration. If at that
time they were in the army, or actually

penalty which they incurred by their de
sertion ; but this penalty may be enforced
against them whether they shall volunta
rily place themselves within the local ju
risdiction of their native country, and shall
be proceeded against according to law.—
But when no present liabilities exist a-
gainst them, at the period of their emigra
tion, the law of nations, in the opinion of
this government, gives no right to any
country to interfere with naturalized A-
merican citizens, and the attempt to do so
would be considered an act unjust in itself
and unfriendly to the United States. This
question cannot, of course, arise in the
case of a naturalized citizen who remains
in the United States, It is only when he
voluntarily returns to his native country
that its local laws can be enforced against
him. LEWIS CASS.
