The anniversary of our National In

dependence was celebrated in fine style on last Monday, At half-past one o'clock in the morning the church bells comiuenced ringing, which, with the firing of two canons, was kept up until daylight. It,was intended that the above .exercises sli juld not commence until tour o'clock, but the enthusiasm of our citizens knew no bounds. At ten o'clock a splendid company of light infantry, the Montgomery Guards, made their appearance with the drum and fife, and in procession with the citizens, inarched to a beautiful grove cast of town where the exercises of the day were concluded. At. night a very fine display of fire-works took placc on the commons south of town. Take it all in all, it was the best celebration of the glorious Fourth ever gotten up in Crawfordsville.

Tin: ATI.ANTIC TELEGRAPH (1AIU.K.— There can be uo doubt ol the failure of this undertaking. The fleet sailed from tho coast of Ireland on the 11th of June, and up to the present moment of writing we have no intelligence of the success or failure of the enterprise, but from the stormy weather reported by steamers that have •recently arrived, there is every evidence that the attempt to lay the cable has been unsuccessful.

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE OF Sr.rrnMr.ER.— The Solar Eclipse which is to take placc early in September next, is attracting the attention of the scientific world everywhere, except here. Astronomers in Englaud are particularly busy iu their preparations for the grand event. The Lest points of observation arc decided to be on the coasts of Brazil and Peru, in South America.

A GAY LOTHABIO CAPTUBED!

GREAT EXCITEMENTS!

Our readers will rccollect that in the

iC-4-

winter of 1S56, we give an accounf of the elopement of Robert L. Coons with the wife of Montgomery lIudson. jAfter^ wi absence of some three months, the shamestricken woman returned, having been deserted .and, left penniless at Ann Arbor,, Michigan. Shortly after, her seducer also returned, mid'-they both went back, iO their respective families. fjir-w

For ji while Coons conducted himself properly, and it was generally believed .that he had reformed, through the influence of his family and connections, who, are among the most respectable of our citizens. But the smothered firc= of his amorous nature soon burst, forth into an eruption, and ho planned the ruin of others.

For a. thne his beastly passions were satiated, when, like a famished tiger, he again lurked for a fresh victims, when his eyes fell upon a beautiful damsel, fairer than the spouse of Potiphar, who in a moment of dreamy dalliance, grasped the skirt of the blushing Joseph. She shone upon his entranced vision like a star of love, and he ICsolvcd to woo her to the bowers of Hymen's Paradise of bliss. He addressed hor a note, elegantly written and perfumed, stating his desire for an interview. They met thev loved, not wisely but too well,''as the sequel of this story will show,

The heroine was a uoblc specimen of the daughters of Eve. Tall and lithe in figure, with a queenly air she stood the coun tcrfcit presentiment of one of the three graces. Tier eyes shone with a lustre more refulgent than the glittering beams'of Venus. Her golden hair hung in rich profusion around a neck "whiter than snow and smoother than monumental alabaster."— Her voice was as sweet as the "charmed lute" and "sounded an alarm to love.

Numerous were their interviews. Iu the classic shades of a beautiful grove they often met and told their talcs of love, and sighed for seme fairy isle iu undiscovered seas where they might hide themselves from the. rude and vulgar gaze of passing students and lynx-eyed vigilance committees. The plan was soon arranged. On last Monday evening, the fair enchantress blushing with beauty, took the train for Ladoga. The next morning, Lothario rose from his sleepless couch, and with a small carpct-sack wcudcd his way to the depot, where he took the o'clock train for the south. On arriving at the Ladoga station, he dispatched a note by a messenger to hisdulciuea, who had taken up ('{uarters with a respectable lady in the placc, who, disco\ering the character of her guest, dismissed her from her house with the advice to ICturn immediately to CrawtordsVillc.. Acting upon this advice she came back upon the noon tram. Iu the meantime Coons waited for the evening train to proceed to

(ircciicastle, a:nl from thence to Fillmore, wile re.' he designed making some collections to defray the expenses of his third projected elopement. But alas for human design?:1'1'

A'number of our most respectable citizens who Tor sometime had been apprised of this affair, determined to proceed that cvcninc to Ladoga,'seize the heartless villain "and bring him back to Crawfordsville, and there make a public example of his deeds of infamy. This determination was

the N. 1". TimeSi dated, "The Camp at Rutland, Saturday, June 20th, 1858 WHAT WAS

All-kinds of odd subjects were up for discussion, but through the whole, ran an under current of Free Love.^ Itpopped up- in ''flic midst of colloquies apparency., most foreign to it, and the Free .Lovers, who are as blackberries here, are chuckling to think that they- have had the day,, to. themselves, to the intense discomfiturerarid disgust of the red-hot Republicans who have kept up a running skirmish, unsuccessfully striving to get the whip hand of the Convention. .1 FEMALE FP.EE LOVE' ORATOR.

The feature of the day was a speech by Mrs. Julia Branch, of New York, on Free Love." This lady is popularly known as the female leader of the Free Lovers. She is an inmate of the "Unitary Household" in New York, about which the Times had something to say a little while ago. The lady is petite, and on the sunny side of thirty. Heavy masses of curling brown hair fall down her face her air is pleasing and taking. She is an individual of literary tendencies writes for some of the Sunday papers in New York is a poetess and is very well known.

Tho speech of Mrs. Branch contains many curious things. She had a talk with Lucy Stone. Lucy was not exactly a free lover, but leaned a little that way. Lucy was iu favor of voting first and taking care of marriage afterwards. But Mrs. Branch said, so she said:

I asked, "ITow cau she have the right to vote, when she has hot even the right to her name in the marriage bonds?''

She said "It is a mistaken that woman is obliged to give up her name and take that of her husband, by the ceremony. I have not given up niiue, and no law can compel me to. 1 call myself Lucy Stone, and shall always.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED. How would it have been with Mrs. Blackwell if she had kept the fact of the marriage ceremony a secret, and gone to a hotel with the intention of stopping a few days, with Mr. Blackwell, and signing herself Lucy Stone? Would they have been permitted to occupy one room? What do you suppose would have been the astonishment of the virtuous landlord at such a proceeding?

THAT HOUR IDLE MAR ITLAGE'CKLL EMON Y? She has not even that kind compliment that is paid to man in the Constitution of the United States, "that man is endowed with certain inalienable rights." And t:i the marriage ceremony, I say she is indebted for her wrongs, for her aching heart, her chains, her slavery.

train for Ladoga, where thev caught the deserter of his wife and children, and arrived with him here on the 10 o'clock train the same night (Tuesday). At the depot they were met by hundreds of our citizens,

The crowd proceeded to the Court House, where Dr. Fry read numerous letters addressed to the fallen victim of the prisoner's lust. After several speeches by Fry, Wallace, Houston and others, in which they strongly urged the excited crowd to use no violence, a movement was made to adjourn. In &n instant the lights were extinguished and all was darkness and confusion. Coons was seized by several strong arms and quickly conveyed through a back door to the yard, where he was stripped and a coat of tar and feathers applied to his naked body. The next day he was escorted to the noon train and left for Lafayette. At last accounts he was at Attica, where it is presumed his dulcinea will join him.

ried but do you say anything about her right io love whom she will, where she will and how she will.

Next we heard a terrible lament. A strong picture was drawn of an unhappy married life, and the awful tyranny of husbands who have ccased to love their wives, but press upon them "the necessity of bearing children whenever he pleases."' Then Mrs. Branch remarked:

Now, I ask, what is that woman's life? Is she what God intended she should No She was made fair and beautiful in childhood, given those noble aspirations to cultivate the garden of her soul.

WOMAN SELLING HERSELF.

What did she do with them? Sold them with, herself at sixteen, when she entered into marriage contract, and thus bowed down her soul forever. Iu her isolated household, she threw away her life, and added to the too many airendy children thrust into the world half made up—children of chance, children of lust, abortions who feel that they have no right to existence, whose tainted flesh and running sores area disgrace and an everlasting reproach to the morals and purity of any community. to STRONG DOCTRINE. .' r.Jt ii t*-

Bvron cursed his mother for his deformed "feet, and there are thousands and thousands of children cursing the sacred name of mother for their deformed mental and moral conditions.

Mrs. Gage, Mrs. Rose,' Mr. Wright, and others, go back to the mothers influence, and go a step further back, and say it is the marriage- institution that is at-fault. Itis the binding marriage ceremony that keeps woman degraded in mental and moral slavery. She must demaud her. freedom—her right to receive the equal wages of man for her Labor—her right to bear children when she will, and whom by she will.

WOMAN SHOULD MAKE HER OWN CHOICE. I believe in the absolute freedom of the affections, and that it is woman's privilege, aye, her right, to accept or, refuse auy love that comcs to her. She should le thc rio-, ling jmrcr in. all matters of love, and when her love has died out for the man. who ha?- taken her to his heart, she is liv-. ing a life to herself, her own nature, and to him, if she continues to hold an intimate, relation with him.

And so is: man's relative position to woman. When his love has died out, and he continues to live with his wife, on an}- consideration, he strikes a blow to the morality of his nature and lives a life of deception, not ouly to her and society, but he is responsible for all the crimes that bis children, born under those "circumstances, are liable,to .commit.

•''MARRIAGE RIGHTS.

iThen wc have aright and listen! tromfen of the Nineteenth century! The marriage institution givos you one right one Tight that you have not, perhaps, hitherto valued —it gives than the right to bear children.

It is not a privilege it is not an inheritance that vour nature craves. But itis the

law of wise men, jrio know very much bet* ter than "you dovwhen,y9tf wajft a child, and telten you ought to become a toother.

A BISSEXTLKGK MOTHER. I

JoelTiffany claimed—vfHh-» strong-ap.Lord's pearance of heterodoxy—that the people couldn't see the difference between FreeiLove aiid Free-£«i/.: Free-Love wias simply regarded' as Free-Lust. In the relations between the sexes, he believed that lust had more, to do with the man ,s desires then loye. In marrying a, woman, he marr ries, not her love, but her use. -, If, after marriage, she don't prove so useful as he .thought she would, then his love, so called, evaporates., He looks upon woman as a thing of purchase, as he would look.on a horse. In this ,view, marriage becomes a matter,o£ bargain. Men and women are not\ married. They unite on the plans of self-love, operating through use. This is what the marriage-relation undoubtedlyJs, and yet the community upholds the systein.-

Thcy (think it is the gratification of this propensity that we call love.'-.-, It is simply lust. But,the true marriage is not open to these, objections. When a man finds ii? a woman all that his nature yearns for, and when a woman finds a man who stands as the full embodiment of her wishes, if the man and woman unite under such conditions, both are truly married. Woman then becomes to man a medium of inspiration. Man becomes to woman a source of strength and power. She unites with his soul. He cannot develop without developing her. They become one. Marriage may be happy. The defect is not in the institution, if man had not been lustful. The man who is developed, redeemed from his sensual nature, must still have the old law continued over him. So long as mau is gross, and selfish and lustful, the law must keep his hold over him. But let the individual who desires to be redeemed, first perfect himself. Let us all have liccnse. [Sensation.]

Stephen Foster, Abby Kelly's male partner, and Mrs. Rose who is presumed to have a masculine help-mate, both complimented the marriage relations as exemplified in their cases.

AILOW.

Stephen Foster expressed his disapproval of the way things were going in the Convention. lie referred particularly to what he called the "outrage" inflicted upon Brother Goodell last night.

He protested against the movement made to blink the whole question of Slavery. That topic had been put off to the tail end of the programme for this afternoon, and it was uncertain whether it would find itself able to hang on to the tail end. [Laughter and approbation.] If you limit one man, in God's name, ?aid Stephen, limit all. i"t ,A MARRYING MAN.

Mr. Thomas Curtis, a young and ardent gentleman from Pennsylvania, expressed his sentiments. They were rather startling. He said after some preliminaries:

Our friends Mrs. Ross and Mr?. Gage have told you that they are married. So am I—although I have not been married twenty years, as tlijjy have been. I married myself to my wife, and she married herself to wc upon the express understanding, not that God sanctified it—we did not want God in the matter—not that it was sanctified by magistrate or priest, because wo cast that idea aside, as none of their business—but because wc saw that we could in marriage better fulfill our highest and best use, and carry our happiness to the fullest extent. When we were married we expressed that sentiment and when we agree to separate, wc shall accomplish that separation without the help of God, or print, or„ magistrate. We don't want the consent of cither of the th'ree. Wc do not want to be united because God unites us and ice mil not be separated berausc God separates us. We will act upon our own judgment and opinions each respecting the impressions, not what I state, or what she states, but the impressions which are for both, and which are the common property of all, as such, to be used by men and women.

GOT) CALLED UPON TO ITT DOWN SLAVERY. Mr. Thomas Curtis made his second appearance on this occasion. lie quoted that part of the second resolution which declares that "any Christ or any God, that by silence or otherwise authorizes man to enslave man, merits the scorn and contempt of mankind." Curtis inquired who was this God that people talked about If he was the all-powerful being he was

represented to be, why don't he go down South and put down Slavery? lie desired to ask him plumply—How is it that you don't do your duty? With what consistency couid men worship this God, whom the}* considered all powerful, when ho neglected to exercise his power for the extinction of Slavery?

Mr. Foster said "he cared nothing about the Union. He wonld say, rather than a single slave should be held in bondage— 'Down with the Union down with the constitution down with religion down with the Bible—and let all go to hell and damnation.' A PER SON WOULD RATHER NOT GO TO^LIKAV-

Mr. Cutting had something to say on the -"'mission of spiritualism" and "human brotherhood," and branched off into a disquisition upon the future state. He remarked that if, according to the old theology, such men-as Plato, Socratcs, etc., were to ro to hell,' lie himself "preferred to go

denounced Spiritualism

and Free Love, and. all the isms of the Radicals, and finally fired a parting shot from the Ibckcr of the Bible—flinging at the Radical head the following quotation from 1st Timothy, iv. 1 and 3: "Now the, spirit spcaketh expressly, that in the latter, times some. sha^l

Chairnjan—Time! I RELIGION A HUMBUG. Mr. Thomas Curtis took up the dropped thread of Free Trade, and- declared that there is ho religion that is not based on Reform. He looked upon religion as the blackest ami most scoundrel like name in the world.

Andrew Jackson Davis was next on the programme, and great was -the commotion. The opening of the afternoon session was given up to Spiritualism. Andrew Jackson Davis was vehemently called for. In fact, so curious were the Vermonters to hear this famous personage, (who now visits Vermont for the first time) that special trains have been run to-day from Brattleboro' and Glen's Falls. The attendance was prodigious—at least three thousand persons.

Mr. Davis spoke for three quarters of an hour, explaining the fundamental principles of Spiritualism. If you have a copy of the "Revelations" about you, the speech is all there spread out thin. Nothingnew was said.

A THEOLOGICAL FIGHT.

In the evening the subject of Spiritualism was continued. Elder Grant turned up again,

an attacking party. Joe Tif-

fany°tackled him, and there was some lively sparring. After a time, Spiritualism was sunk into a hair-splitting tilt on the phraseology of the Bible. This theological turn disagreed with Mr. Parker Pilis bury's stomach. He made a violcut speech in the midst- of an uproar which was an unpleasant reminder of Tammany Hall, denouncing those two personages, "who persisted in firing Bible texts at each other." lie suggested that they should go out to the big field near by, and "have it out."— They didn't accept the suggestion, and the Chair awarded the floor to Grant to reply to Tiffany, so that the theological row was kept up! It was now 9 P. M.—the tentdensely packed, and the heat intolerable.

How ROYALTY KILLS TIME.—The Paris corresopndent of the Philadelphia

GwlcUc.

says: The court passes the days in easy dalliance amidst the green shades of Fountainblue. Following the example of Marie Antoinette and her ladies at Trainon, the Empress Eugenia delights to disguise herself in quaint costumes of huntresses or shepherdesses, and wander through the shady gardens of the palace with the implements of the chase, or of flock, in their hands. have not yet heard that an imperial dairy has been established, or that cows are milked, or cream churned by these dilettanti cowslips. When the dav has been whiled awav in these eccentric idlenesses, ail sort of amusements arc resorted to in order to make the evening pass without ennui.

Sometimes a troop of players from Paris delight the assemblage sometimes the company amuse themselves and each other by private theatricals or charades. Often blind man's buff, or still more romping and vivacious games are resorted to, and played with a freedom and license fur which the Court of France has long been remarkable. The scene is represented as affording a strange aspect of mingled business and pleasure and buffoonery. The little town itself around the chateau is crammed with court followers and official people—ministers, play actors, embassadors, couriers, secretaries, general officers, ladies' maids —all jumbled together in strange confusion and during tho same twenty-four hours the questions of the Danuhian Principalities or of Montenegro are debated in one room, while those of the next masquerade or pleasure party are discussed with almost equal solemnity and interest in another. In a week, probably, this meeting will be broken up.

SriRiTED CONDUCT OF AN AMERICAN LADY.—The Havana correspondence of

the N. Y. Herald, writes: In the case of the ship Clarendon it is worthy of note that the wife ot uapt. Bartlett, being on board, was unmindful of occurrences which seemed threatening the safety of her husband. Anticipating the crisis and the final purpose of her husband just previous to the order of the English commander for his guard to come on board, the high spirited and proud little wife of the gallant Captain of the Clarendon slipped into the cabin and took from a locket a brace of revolvers, bringing them quietly to her husband, who placed them about his person convenient for action and when the trial order was given, and Capt, Bartlett had responded, perceiving that tho commander was a little flustered, on finding himself check-mated in tho boarding scene the lady gently approachcd him, saying. "Don't be afraid, Captain if you behave like a gentleman we won't hurt you,..

A "SPIRITUAL" FUNEKAL The Manchester Mirror says that the first "Spiritual" funeral ever held iu uiat city took place at the late residence of J. B. Smith, on Wednesday afternoon. The ceremonies were commenced by the singing of an appropriate hymn by some of the ladies and friends in attendance, after which Miss Emma Houston, a trance speak offered up a prayer, after which she proceeded to address the assembled friends. She said: "Thy friend is dead, but air cn \.fter having endured much suffering, and after being racked with pain, the sp irifc now finds rest. He has lain his armor down, to rest until his wasted energies shall have time to recuperate to rest, until the spirit shall receive its influx of light and strength from the spirit world to rest, as rested those of olden time. "Now, when tho spirit could no longer cope with mortality, rest hath come unto this soul. Rest for the weary body, when materiality had done its work. Rest hath come tranquilly on. Kest comcth to the weary soul, but not the rest of death. "The curtain is drawn the room is darkened, the form is cold, but let the mourner penetrate to the scene beyond. When the form has been consigned to earth, then the soul will receive its crown of immortality. "Loved ones, who are left here below, those who have loved him so dearly, know that although uot tangible to you now, yet he lives, and can roam at will beside the loved one, his companion. "Friends, you here behold the form stricken in death, soon to be cpnsigned to the tomb. Think not you see tho man there it is but tho mouldering clay. The spirit hath passed out, but still lingers near its former abode, until the body shall have been placed in the earth, when it will pass ou into the beauteous spheres beyond, and upward, forever ascending toward the infinite. Drop not a tear upon the marble features, but rather say, in a higher life we know lie exists: in a land of bliss where forever he wii! roam. Then let- this be an incentive to cause you to march ori more steadily, and your bosoms the 'spirit of truth. r*r "Friends, all present—those who are I nearly connected, all those within hearing of our voice—wc would cheer you on, and bid you to feci thankful that so much of

THE GREATNESS OF SHELLEY.—Shelley was Teat as a poet—divine, indeed great as a philosopher, as a moralist, as a scholar, as a complete and finished gentleman, great in every respect as a man but he was most conspiciouslv great in that particular excellence, which, in ail ages and all nations, has been invariably the characteristic distinction of the greatness of mankind: he was pre-eminently a lady's man.

A few hours before the death of Mr. v's sister, which took place some time ago, the dock suddenly struck one, after a silence of several months. It thus continued silent until another mem* ber of the family was prostrate with a fatal malady, when it again struck ose^and on the following day the child was buried. A year elapsed, when a second child sickened and died the clock was punctual in sounding one a few hours previous to his death. A third child, a little boy fifteen months old, was afflicted with scrofula, which baffled the skill of the physician, and on the third day of this month its remains were deposited in the grave. The clock gave the usual warning and struck one.

AN ENTIRE FAMILY DROWNED.—Tho Jolict (111.) Signal, states that a lad named Albert Curtis, aged five years and eight months, was drowned in tho canal on the 15th inst. What is singular about this sad causally is, that Albert was the only surviving member of the family of Mr. Newman Curtis, formerly of Joliet, who was drowned in Lake Michigan five years ago. Mr. Curtis' wife "and eldest child were drowned at the same time, and Albert was saved by a Mr. William Shipman, who was in the boat at flic time it capsizcd, and who, at the peril of his own life, swam to shore with him. The little orphan was rcscucd from a watery gravebut now has met the same fate which it so narrowly escaped, and which befel those who loved it five years ago.
