P COMMUNICATED. J FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION,

In Leesburg, Virginia. After the reading of the Deciaration of Inde-

pendence, by John Janney. Esq., and the delive- ry of the very eloquent Oration by Major Alex- ander, the exercises of the day, at the Methodist Church, were concluded by an eloquent and im-

pressive prayer by the Rev. Dr, Dorsey. At about two o’clock, a large party, comprised

of the “ Volunteers,” and citizens of the town

and neighborhood, partook of an excellent dinner, prepared by the very obliging host of the Mansion Hotel, Mr. Sinclair.

Geu. Edwards presided over the festivities of the board, assisted by Fleming Hixon, E»q ; af- ter the cloth was removed, the following senti- ments were drank, ant| many of them, with great applause and unanimity:—

Regular Toasts. 1 The 4th of July, 1776.—Fifty seven years

ago, by a deed, more memorable than Magna C’harla, the then colonies were declared *• free, and independent states.” Let us this day renew

the covenant,and pledge “our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor,” to maintain it.

2 The memory of Washington. 3 The memory of Thomas Jefferson and John

Adams.— The first, the author of the Declara tiivn of Indenendtnce—the last, its ablest cham- j pion in the revolutionary congress.

4 The Federal Union. — It was the offspring of mutual concession, ami mutual forbearance; its

strongest tie, is the uffertion of its members.—

Its duration depend* upon the wisdom, modera-

tion, and justice, of the administration ol its go- vernment.

5 The President of the Uuited State*. G The Freedbm of the Press.—Institutions

ba«ed upon public virtue and intelligence, can

never be overthrown while the press is pure and

unfettered. 7 The memory of Charles Carroll, of Carroll-

ton.—The last link in the chain is broken—the

last lining monument of the “ signers,” is level- led with the dust.

8 Chief Justice Marshall —The Justice of Ar istides, the learning of Hale, and the intellectu al vigor of ManstieUf. Tria junctain lino

9 The Commonwealth of Virginia—Rich in her mineral and agricultural productions; she needs only arteries and veins for the circulation of her wealth, to become powerful, prosperous, and happy.

10 Agriculture, Manufactures, and Com- merce. Industry, ingenuity, and enterprise— “ united they stand, divided they-fall.”

11 The Declaration of Independence:—Filed in the high court of nations, and ably argued by the heroes of the revolution, its success stands

fully recorded in the happy and smiling homes

of American Liberty. 12 General Lafayette:—The Washington of

the eastern hemisphere. He has not founded an

empire, but he lias laid the foundation of ration- al liberty, upon the ruins of a military despo- tism.

13 Our Fair Country-woman.—Nullification can never prosper. From Maine to Florida, and from the Atlantic to the Rocky Mountains, they are for ** union to a man.”

Volunteer Toasts. By the Committee of Arrangements.—Charles

Femon Mercer? He has constructed a monu-

ment. which will attest to after ages his genius, fidelity, and his devotion to his country’s welfare.

To which sentiment Col. Mercer replied as

follows. I should seek, in vain, Mr. President, for lan-

guage to express the grateful feeling* awakened hi my heart by the toast you have just given, aud the manner in which it has been received by so

large and respectable a portion of oty townsmen, and fellow-citizens of Loudoun.

It becomes me, however, to remind vou that

the merit you have so generously accorded to

your representative is due to the illustrious man,

whose memory, now hallowed by time, is reviv-

ed by every anniversary of the day we celebrate. The improvement of the navigation of the no-

ble river, which borders our county. was among the first fruits gathered by his wisdom, from the independence and freedom planted by his valour.

Of the success of the recent efforts to extend and to perfect his eoterprize, much is ascribable to my late associates in its execution; and of the residue, more, let me add, to yourselves, aud to

our fellow-citizens of Loudoun. To advance towards maturity a work of such

magnitude as the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal; resting, for its commencement and successful

firosecution, on the concurrente of so many pub- ic councils, and on the union.of so many con-

flicting interests, of populous cities, and distinct states, time was essential, as well as that, which time taiinot always purchase, public confidence

This confidence, your generous and unfailing trust in the zeal of your representative, won from his associates in the council where your voices

placed him. I owe it to you, gentlemen, and to my fellow,

citizens of this district, that, since the lamented death of a distinguished colleague, I have become the oldest member elected by the people of the U, States, to the preseut Congress, and, in our

parliamentary language, the father of the house of representatives; an honor, allow me to say, which I shad most gladly yield, if such be the

voice of bis constituents as I trust it will be, to

a worthv friend of mine, from North ̂ Carolina. Least of all, can I forget, on this occasion, or

fail to remind you, that it was on the adjacent public square, near ten years ago, that the people oir Loudoun originated the Chesapeake aud Ohio Canal Convention, to whose united and steady counsels our great work is mainly indebted for

its present prosperity. Five of these year* were ipent in completing,

bv the passage of seventeen acta of legislation, the charter of our company; the grant of three

atates, and of Congress Nearly five more hive been consumed in over-

obstructions, over which it has advanced, almoit within light of that mountain, through whose lof-

ty summit it is destined, ’ere long, to penetrate, in fulfilling its leading purpose, the confirmation of our glorious union; and thereby, the perpetu- ation of the independence which we have here assembled to enjoy.

But, Mr. President, I rose to obey the impulse of a grateful heart; to assure you, one and all, of the happiness I derive from being restored to a society, and to fronds, from whom my past la- bors have so long separated mie. And "as an evi- dence that it was not my intention, by a grave address, to arrest the current of social feeling, which every return of this day is so well calcu- lated to quicken, before I resume the seat which

your kindness invited me to occupy, at your fes- tive board, allow me to give you as a toa9t: •

VIRGINIA HOSPITALITY.

The hospitality of the good old Commonwealth from whose loin9 we sprung, ha9 become prover- bial. It is a feather in the caps of her sons, of

which they may well be proud; for no where else

is more warm-hearted generosity—more sociable

and friendly feelings—more kind sentiments felt

and expressed than in the Old Dominion—the blessed mother of U9 all.

We were much pleased with the following ac-

count, in which all that we have said is exempli- fied, which we find in the Richmond Compiler. The article explains itself, and requires no fur-

ther preface:— Tli$ Trip to Petersburg.—For the benefit of

those who may wish hereafter to treat others hos-

pitably, it is but proper that we should take some

notice of the kind, liberal, warm hearted recep- tion of our volunteers by their brothers of Peters- j burg. Our south aiders are hard to beat; we

yield them the palm in every thing thev under-

take; and the great reason they succeed so tho- roughly in every design, is. that there is but one

heart, one soul, in all the town, and that heart and soi^l is the seat of liberality, the home of pa- *

triotism, from whence every noble, kind feeling emanates. They manage matters in a style and with an ease that makes you feel at once that you are welcome—all the form and ceremony you meet with, is but to add sull more to your com-

fort. There is nothing done for form sake that

may not be turned to some useful purpose; evp.

rv thing moves on smoothly, orderly, and in their proper time and place, and the consequence is, that you feel easy, you are comfortable and

happy. Every one on this occasion felt this—

every one enjoyed himself to the utmost. Our volunteers left Richmond, as you know, 1

at different limes and bv different routes: the ar- I

tillery, under the command of Captain John B. Richardson, w ith a battery of four pieces, took up their march on Tuesday evening about sundown, j They were in fine spirits; but a short time af- ! ter leaving Manchester were met by a severe J thunder storm, which, before they could find a

shelter, literally drenched tlitm to the skin.— | They are true soldiers, however, and don’t stop for trifles; so, taking up the route of inarch, j they progressed through the night, and about day break were within two or three miles from Pe- lersbuig. here we leave them drying theinselve9 externally, and moistening their clay internally, and furbishing up their accoutrements, in order to'return to the rest of the troops; leaving them, | however, in as flue spirits, anil cracking as many

1

jokes, and singing as many merry songs, as hale fellows on a merry making ever told or sung.

Wednesday morning it continued raining, but the bugle’s note told us that other troops were ; preparing to join their comrades; and according- Iv, our streets were filled with the residue of our! volunteers. Our cavalry, under the command of Captain Samuel S. M vers; our Blues, under the command of Captain Thomas B. Bigger; and our

Rifle, under the command of Captain William II. Richardson. I he two last werp escorted by the Cavalry on their way to the staanr.boat9 which were chartered for their accommodation. The Cavalry took the same route pursued by the Ar- tillery. During the day they overlook the Ches- terfield troop of horse, commanded by Captain John Heth. who, having received them with a

friendly and truly military salutation, the two

troops continued together, passing occasional rompliments, until they arrived with their breth- ren, the Artillery, who greeted them with a lit- tle thunder, and who, by this time, were fresh and dry. though not all thirsty; however, they had water enough left to refresh »heir comrades.

Toe B ops and R'flp embarked on board their different boats at about 9 o’clock, and haJ a

most pleasant excursion. Their fine band of mu-

sic, and their lively spirits, kept them in high glee during the day, and ever and anon they were

IMCUni U nillliv «V.99VI| uu\i mull J Ol v

tie discharges of cannon that greeted them on

their passage. They were not unfrequent visit- ers of each other during the Hay, and they had many a lea party on their route—you know what kind of tea we drink in the day time—so it was,

they arrived in good condition in the afternoon, & reached the town ot Petersburg at five in the eve-

ning Mere their arrival was announced by the lire of Artillery, and they were received by—the lour companies of Petersburg, the Cavalry, Capt. PanniM: the Ureys, (infantry.) Capt. Branih; t e Blues, (infantry,) C-pt. D.inkard, and the Rifle Volunteers, Capt. Stockdell. As soon as the arrival ol our troops was announced •»v the cannon, the Chesterfield Troop, our Cav- alry e d At iii'ery recommenced their march. TV Unhmond Blues anu were saluted by their

Peteisourg friends, and esc ot ted along the roau

to meet the remainder ol our troops. They were drawn up in line upon the heights near the town, and presented a most imposing spectacle. In a very short lime, the different corps ap- proached, and the flourish of trumpets anti the long roll of drums told that they were heartily welcome. There is something in a military sa- lute between brothers, indeed something in 'mil- itary display and parade, that raises the heart to the mouth, and fills the bosom with emotions that none can know but those who feel the plea- sant sensations. But we wit) not stop to descant upon these pleasurable feelings. Here was a

1

greeting and here a spectacle which told you at tmee where vou were, and who you had to deal with. As I said before, you can’t beat these 1

South-siders. Thqf show you what volunteers can do in the way of evolutions, arms and equip- 1

ments, in the first place; and if Bonaparte’s reg- 1

iilars or Wellington’s iovinciblcs, or any other body of men in any realm, can surpass them, then they must never let the people of Petersburg I see them, for they would’nt stay beat a day.— 11 They are regulars’ in every thing, and that results j1 from their being regular built gentlemen.

But in the next place, they welcome you as ci- 1

liiens. Here we were met with an inroad of 1

waiters, punch, julep, lemonade, every thing cool {

ind refreshing; not an inroad of ragamuffins, with 1

heir dust and ashes, as we sometimes see in our (

;reat cities, to sweat you to death and suffocate *

rou with filth, but refreshments, with a welcome 1

hat told you they were yours, and you might use 1

hem just as you pleased. We were ail refresh- 1

d; we were already pleased; for my part, l felt 1

» did the clown in the theatre, who, when the 1

amps were hoisted up as by magic, was so much * monished, that he immediately retired, saying 1

t had been enough for his money; but in for a

penny, in fora pound, so we again took up our

march, and as we passed the bridge into the town, the cannon greeted us with many a friendly peal. We paraded through several of the streets, and

were escorted in fioe style to the several lodgings which hospitality had provided. Every man fell at once he was to be well taken care of. The

hand whs shown us at the commencement, and we knew how (he game would be played. Ihe Chesterfield Troop were escorted by the Peters-

burg and Richmond Cavalry to the Union Tavern, where the? were told their quarters were provid- ed, and all they saw was theirs; and then the Rich- mood Troop were escoi ted in turn to Powell’s elegant establishment, where we were told “gen tleinen, you are at home; you will find stables for vour horses, beds for yourselves; make your- selves comfortable.” Here the Blues had been escorted, and also provided with quarters; the Artillerv and Rifle were accommodated in the same stvleat the Bollingbrook Hotel. All weie

comfortable. The different Petersburg compa- nies then dismissed for the night, and then came

the recognition of friends and good fellowship overflowing; you did’nt stand in need of intro ductions; you did’nt feel as if you dot red to

know to whom you were indebted for marked at-

tention; every one made as free with you as if he had known you all your life; you were not told to call and see me before you leave town, but you were forced to go along now; “ come, I yant to show you our town;” ‘‘my wife will be

glad to see you;” “come and see my little curlv heads;” “the little fellows will welcome you to

Petersburg;’’ and so it was; for my part, I felt determined to know something of these good peo- ple, and [ took the rounds, as 1 know almost eve-

ry one else did, and every door was open, and every table spread.. We did’nt go singly; we

went by hundreds; for we were gathered in. groups, and we had a merry-making.

Every hotel, every restorative, every public eating or drinking house in town was open to us

all; their yards were decorated with evergreens

hung with lamps in festoons, and their tables presented every variety; and if you asked what

you had to pay for your refreshments, they would absolutely laugh at you; if you called even at an

Apothecaries to provide yourself with soda wa-

ter no charge was made, nothing would be. re-

ceived; such an entertainment is worth record- ing. But were I to tell one half the liberality, the cordiality, the kind ebullition of feeling that I witnessed, your paper would nut contain it.

The Fourth.— The morning salutes were fired, the reveilles were heat, the Hags were floating, »nd at every turn you saw the busy preparation of soldiery for the morning parade. There are

two sorts of morning salutes; one with cannon; goto Petersburg they’ll show you the other,— bail storm. Well we breakfasted, and now the trumpets sounded, and the drums beat to arms

once more: Petersburg was all in motion, and Richmond and Chesterfield, lent a willing hand. At nine o’clock, the line was formed, the Mar- sals of the day took command of the whole, and we paraded through the several streets to the Theatre: by the by, the negroes in Petersburg know who they have to deal with; there is no

disturbance; they know their distance. In Rich- mond, when a military band strikes up a martial air, there is one universal rush of wooly heads, md if you don’t use your bayonets, you will in- pvitaoly be crushed to death. 'I have seen thou- *

lands of little negroes some of them hardly able [o walk, pell mell, belter skelter in with the ierd; and if you breathe, it must be the real aro-

ma of dust and filth. At the Theatre, we were

well provided for; the pit was reserved for the Cavalry, the stage for "the Infantry, the boxes for the ladies and citizens: when the curtain rose i

the seated soldiery with their nodding plumes ind bristling bayonets had a most happy effect; the officers of-all the different corps were in front; they rose and saluted the citizens, and were • reeled in turn with three cheers and martial mu- I sic! When all were seated, Mr. John Thomp- son Brown, a member of the Petersburg Cavalry sneo In roorl fliA f ^ a t* I •» -a f <\r\ n f V n/lnnaml^nen

irul prefaced it with some of the happiest soul- j Mitring remarks. Ili* composition i* always beautiful; we had heard him before, and always with pleasure in our Legislative Hall in Rich- mond. He was followed by Col. Pegram, who delivered an eloquent oration which was receiv- J ed with great and just applause. These ccremo-

lies being over the troops again assembled, and were escorted to a beautiful lawn, where the line was formed preparatory to the mid-day salute —

We anticipated being reviewed by Brigadier Ge- neral Brodnax, but he was nol in town, and our

iw'n Brigadier General Lambert, was requested 1

to review the troops A finer set f never saw, nor a better line; after the review, a federal sa- lute was fired by the Cavalry and Infantry, and then our Artillery made the welkin ring again.— W’e again marched for the plac* provided for our

mtertainmem dinner, and here we were missed to cool off. YVe cooled ott witn JfCUlf*. !

It is useless to attempt a description of the lit- tle comforts provided previous to dinner, but they were such as none but the most determined imposition to leave nothing undone that hospital- ity could devise would ever have thought of.— Fhe dinner was set out under a spacious buil- iing erected for the purpose, containing six par- illel tables, each calculated for upwards of one lundred persons; I was told their were six hun* ired and thirty plates set and almost all were

iccupied. The tables were literally filled with •very thing that heart could desire; every indi- vidual had a printed bill of fare under his plate, ind he had only to ask to obtain whatever lie pre- ferred. Did I say to ask,—the fact was they inticipjfed your wishes; you did’nt have to look is rf you wanted any thing; it was provided by :he time you could think you wanted it. But t was not the food, or the drinks, oranv of the {ood things that were before y<m that attracted lour notice half as much as the people; it was heir anxiety to serve you,to see you attended to, hat was worthy of notice—the food was good, he wioes were the best, the toasts were good, he cheer excellent, the tout ensemble not to be ‘quailed. I never saw a more cheerful, merry >et in my life, and 1 will say I never saw so few Irunken men in such a collection at any place, in any occasion; but 1 must hasten to a conclu- iou. We were formed again after dinner and narched into town and through the principal treats to another lawn, where the evening salute va* fired by our artillery, and the whole were lurched again to their several quarters, and ere we had more eating and dnnkfng; but J are not for these things. After supper we vent to see a little more of the town—I say we.

• %

for it was a pretty general turn out; and uha* with aerenades and cheering we kept it up pr*, ty late: but 1 cannot dismiss the account hip out giving you one more instance of hospiuij,, and it is only a sample of a thousand; we CJf led at a gentleman’s house in going the granii ■

round; he had retired to rest; we were an bun dred, but his wife was a soldiers’ wife and ml deratood aoldiers thoroughly; she heard the mu sic and prepared instantly for our reception, ap,.

by the time we were at the steps he and Ins mf{ met us at the door, welcomed u* in; there wa- no refusal and we had every thing the house af. forded in a minute and with such a welcome a< did defiance to every thing like ceremony. \\e felt at home; we shook her by the hand and she us; we had never m**t before, but I’ll venturt an es*ate she is not forgotten shortly. |t *,j an officer’a house; it was a Captain: we ttinnked him for Ilia cheer; we wished himself and i.j, better half and all hia household a thousand bl«*v sings. We retired; we slept; day dawned; w** breakfasted at our several lodgings; we a«ked what we had topav; we were told nothing;—M: !

were invited, nav solicited to spend one dar j more, but we returned; we cou'd not in,iw4 longer on sur li kindness. We went to gjin in-

struction,—wo went to light our lamps at their altar*.—we found them burning with the jn.

cense of a* pure patriotism an ever shone toli/; a nation in her onward march to glorv and h<>-. or. We will endeavor to procure this incfn*; — we will ask for this holy fire, — we will kind c
