Waveland lies in the heart of a rich and fertile region of country and we hope that our citizens by their diligence and acti,.yity in the Bible cause, will show that they are not forgetful of the Giver, from whom come all their blessings.

Fourth of July.

1 he citizens of Waveland and surrounding country intend celebrating our approaching anniversary.— Speakers are invited, and arrangements made to make it a day of re-

joicing and thanksgiving, in view

this our birthday of national independence. The Sabbath schools are expected to participate in the celebration, and a suitable address delivered to them.

There will be a patriotic speech, which together with the reading of the declaration of independence and bodily refre»hments can not fail to render the occasion one of interest and profit.

Aggregate $1,667,689,454 Of this debt, about five hundred millions is held abroad, or on foreign account. The residue, making nearly twelve hundred millions, is held among the citizens of the country. It is obvious, from this state of fact, that the solvency of the country depends 011 the solvency of merchants and individuals. It is private credit which at last sustains the whole fabrjc. The $250,000,000 of railroad bonds will be easily paid, and double as much more, if the individuals who have subscribed railroad stocks can make good their subscriptions in cash.

Last April there existed in the town of Bloomfngto*#^ one of tfiose pit-falls of the Evil One known as "Groceries." The thing* "had fongbeen regarded by many ®bf*the citi zens as a nuisance that ought fo .be abated by the strong arm oft^ law but in the.language of an immort^ document, "all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are suflerable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." P'or this reason, this corrupJP'oi^htain was suffered to slfnd forth its tide of pollution in defihnce of law and an overwhelming public sentiment, expressed through the ballot box.

An estimable lady (Mrs. F.) appered before the presiding genius of this delectable establishment and begged him not to furnieh her husband with any more liquor —stating thatthe was in the habit of coming home drunk and abusing herself and children—that he neglected to provide frontier the common necessaries of life for sustenance of his family, &c., &c. Instead of that lady being treated with the respect due her sex, her petition was met with a volley of obscenity and vulgar oaths from a crowd of drunken loafers there congregated.

PRESS,

A large public meeting was held at Mackinaw on the 17th inst., called by the Justices of the Peace. Strong resolutions were passed, and a committee of safty appointed. Other resolutions were read, sent down by the fishermen of Pine river and Gull Island, the purport of which was that if the law was not put in force they would take the matter in their own hands. These resolutions were signed by seventy resolute men, who know the mportance of the step they have taken.

that much excitement has pre

vail of late in the city of Makinaw, araising from the frequent and daily recurring instances of robberies, burglaries, and other depredations, committed by the Mormons of Beaver Island upon the fishermen along the shores and upon the waters of Lake Michigan.

It appears that the Mormons are becomiug more daring even than formely. Heretofore, they were satisfied with robbing the poor fisherof their boats, nets and fish, stealthily, doing every thing possible to avoid detection but now,Beeing the almost utter impossibility of being brought to trade with scearcely any regard to concealment.

Early in the spring, six or eight small houses Birch Point, in which were stored some hundred barrels of fish, were burnt to the ground, the fish

of salt lying out upon the beach were broken open and their contents thrown into the water. The value of the property destroyed was upward uf iwu thousand dollars.

The Mormons soon learn the locality of the nets, and when the wind is fair, sail out to them in «mall boats, which move very rapidly, to take them up, then shifting their sails, are soon far away on the water, leaving no trace by which to be detected.— In the night they make their descent upon ths land, steal, rob and burn what they can find, then with oars and sail they glide away upon the watery element, and the fisherman wakes up in the morning but to find his boat, nets, and perhaps all the property he has in the world, stolen & destroyed. The only reason that can be assigned for these acts is (as they have openly declared) that they intend to monopolize thes.e fishing grounds, and appropriate the same to the service of the Lord and His "saints."

noticed, a

day or two since, that the English, under color of their system of securing emigrant laborers for the sugar plantation of her We&t India colonies, had been offering the Chiefs, at Grand Cape Mount, on the West Coa»t of Africa, ten dollars ahead for their slaves. This bonus, it was stated, is afiout equal to the usual price paid for slaves on that coast. President Roberts had promply interfered, it waa further noticed, to prevent the population being thus bragged off to the sugar houses of her Majesty's planters. This he could do with authority, as Grand Cape Mount is apart of the territory of Liberia, it having been purchased along with the Galinas, through the liberality of Charles M'Micken, Esg., of Cincinnati, and Samuel Guerney, of England, who supplied the funds to pay-for it.-^-Lou.
