We publish, by request, the celebration of the 4th fu!y| at Columbia, So. Ca., which, it will. be perceived, was con ducted in the trite Washingtonian order. From the S4C. Temperance Advocate. Celebration of tho 4th July. According to 'previous appointment, our citizens of all classes began to assem ble in front of the Court House, at half past 8 o’clock. At about 9 o’clock, the procession began to form, under the direc tion of Cant. M. C. Shaffer, and Maj. A. H. Gladden. * First in the procession, was the Richland Rifle Company, under the command of Capt. Douglass, all in full uniform; and their fine flag floating gently in the breeze above their heads. Next were the Richland Light Dragoons, Capt. Taylor, their armour glittering in the sun, and their colour waving in the air. Next a long train of little boys, •‘the hope of the country,” dli marching in order; one of them bearing a beauti ful little flag, with only this inscription upon it—“ Sign the Pledge.” Another carried a plain banner, inscribed with the appropriate motto —“Just as the twig is bent, the tree’s inclinedand another still of the same kind, inscribed, “Our Mothers know we’re out.” Then came the Officers and Members of the Wash ington Temperance Society of Columbia, all wearing the appropriate badge of the Society, a plain blue ribbon, with a head of Washington, and the words “ Wash ' ington Total Abstinence Society,” prin ted thereon. At the head of the Society, \ was borne, a fine large portrait of Wash- j irigtoni painted on silk, beautifully frin ged and edged with gold. Next wa3 a small plain banner, with this necessary cautiont inscribed upon it —“ Beware of the first glass.” Fartheron, was another j of tho same kind, inscribed, “ Millions for Water—not one cent for Rum.” Still farther .on, was a fine painting of Moses; smiting the Rock for water, and the clear stream running down the rugged cliff: and last of all, was a large bottle, and the appropriate insertion, “The last link: is broken, that bound me to tbee !” This! Inst was carried by our zealous brother ■ Washingtonian, Mr. Sheppard. We are informed that it was the one of his own choosing, and carried by him at his own request, and wo thought there was a pe culiar expression of pride and pleasure in his countenance as he bore it along, and as it floated in the breeze above his head. The rest of the procession, was made up of the Rev. Clergy, and Citizens gener ally. The whole being thus formed,! marched up Main-street to the Comrner- j cial Bank, and from there to the Metho dist Church. At tho Church, tho exercises were commenced by Rev. S. W. Capers, with j a fervent and very appropriate prayer, j The Declaration of Independence was; then read by Henry Muller, Jr., Esq., and then came the Oration by B. F. Rawls, Esq., a chaste, well written, and appropriate Oration, which did honor both to the Speaker and to the Society he rep resented. After the Benediction was pronounced, all retired from the Church, well pleased with what they had seen and heard. At about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, a J very large number of ladies and gentle- 1 men, assembled at the place appointed, j to partake of the collation prepared for I the occasion, and the manner in which! the ladies partook of the refreshments, i * the sociableness that seemed to exist j among them, and the pleasing satisfac- j •tion that they manifested, showed that j the time has come, when they too can ! unite with their husbands and brothers in 1 the celebration of this day, without being disturbed with the revelry of the intem perate. When dinner was concluded, the fob lowing Regular and Volunteer Toasts were given, and received with that enthu siasm which the occasion was calculated to inspire. REGULAR TOASTS. 1.

By A. Williams. The Ladies —They can play cards to great advantage when the Washington Pledge is on them. J. C. Thqrxton, Chairman, Committee of Arrangements. The Great Reform. Among the interesting facts stated in the Report of the American Temperance Union, as read at the recent meeting of the Society in New York, were the fol lowing : In New York, 13,000 seamen have signed the pledge; no merchant ship sails from our shores with spirits, except in the medicine chest. American ships have, on account of their temperate char acter, the preference given them in the foreign carrying trade. Temperance has made much progress among officers and seamen of the Navy, notwithstand ing that plague spot, the spirit ration.— Also at the various forts. Dr. John i Warren of Boston, was quoted as compu ting that the temperance movements of the last year had added one sixth to the ! moral power and wealth of Massachu setts. Improvement is felt in every de partment of human industry, and the 4th of July is celebrated with rejoicings throughout the country as much for the j triumphs of temperance as for national ( independence. And the most blessed re- j | suit of aTI is, that multitudes of the re-! ■formed men have become consistent ! members of the Christian Churches. The report gave a rapid sketch of the I progress of temperance in foreign coun j tries; in Ireland, where six millions have signed the pledge, and the consumption j i of spirits has decreased one-half in three years; in England and Scotland, where it 13 gaining strong hold of the public i mind ; in Sweeden, where 50,000 distil leries have been broken up; in the Sand wich Islands, where the King and all his principle chiefs have signed the Pledge; also in Africa, and at nearly all the mili tary posts in India. ' | The report deprecated ‘he limitation of the movement to the mere reformation of drunkards, of which there was danger, : and called upon the wealthy, the educa ted, and the Christian community to come j forward to its support. The Truth Told. We do not know the paternity of the following paragraph, but it is welcome to j a home in our columns: “It is amazing with what tenacity j men will cling to the rum trade. Such . is the demoralizing effect of this traffic upon the minds and hearts of those who have been once engaged in it, that they ; will outbrave the law, laugh at public opinion, and contemn the highest author ! ity in the land, in order to make gain by a business which is at once a disgrace and a curse to human nature. We chal lenge all the rumsellers in the land to 1 show that they have conferred a single ! benefit upon society by all the rum they j have sold as drink during the last one ! hundred years, while they have destroyed more lives than war, pestilence and fa- J mine, sent thousands of souls to the cham bers of eternal night, covered the nation I with sackcloth, and caused weeping and i lamentation arid wo to resound through all her families.”— Temp. Stand. Respectability of Licensed Rumsellers. | Not long since, in this city, the con tents of a licensed rum shop being sold out at auction, among the numerous arti cles which had been pawned for rum, j nearly a barrel full of Bibles were found 1 under the counter, markad as the gift of! different Bible Societies, all of which had 1 been taken in payment of grog hills, or in barter for rum. And such is the in fatuation of drunken parents, that they have been known to take a loaf given bv charity, from their famishing children, | and exchange it for rum ; and, incredi ! ble as it may seem, licensed rumsellers ; are found base enough to take the barter ! even under such circumstances. S. C. Temp. Adv. 1 The above reminds us of an instance which fell under our notice some years ago. A widow who kept a licensed tav ern in Wilmington, was sold out by the sheriff. Among her goods were found some articles of clothing, bearing the i mark, “ New Castle County Poor house." ! They had been stolen from the institu i tion by the paupers who were reaping its benefits, and this wretched and degraded woman received them in pawn for rum! And yet she had a license, and did this in accordance with law; and for this rea son, according to the logic of some per sons, she should not be rebuked Temp. Stand. g m g wr s7 CHARLES E.
