Thursday morning, Jan. 26, 1854.

ItTWM. P. RAMEY, is an authorized Agent for the MONTGOMERY JOURNAL. He will take subscriptions, rcceive money, and give receipts.

To Our Delinquent Subscribers.

There are some twelve or fifteen hundred dollars of old accounts on the Journal Books ol which we stand greatly in need. We have given many

gentle hints, which we hoped

would have the desired effect, but in this we have been disappointed. Ne cessity now compels us to resort to other and more stringent means.— The money we want and must have. These accounts will be open for settlement until Saturday the 11th day of March next. Those not settled at that time will be put into the hands

of proper officer? for collection. Our hands must be paid, and paper, ink and type bought and this cannot be

done without the money. Friends, we are thankful for patronage, and we will be still more so for a speedy settlement of old accounts.

Letter from the Editor.

DETROIT, Michigan, Jan. 17, 1854.

Dear Jerry:—On Monday night soon after closing my last, we left Michigan City for this place, in cars (or coaches as they are here called) crowded to overflowing, and arrived about half past nine this morning.— We found the city all-astir, in anticipation of the grand celebration which is to come off to-night. Flags and Banners of various kinds are suspended across the broad and beautiful streets the stars and stripes of our own beloved country side beside with the cross-barred flag of St. George. The British Lion and the American Eagle have met beneath the banner of peace, to celebrate the triumphs of art, and are now feeding from the same table. A large number of strangers are already in the city, and the delegation from the East and from Canada, consisting it is supposed of about 1000 persons, are looked for this evening a deep cxcitement pervades the entire multitude— all classes are in motion, each individual seems to move with a brisker and more elastic tread—the eleigh bells chime merrily through every street—carriages, omnibusses and other wheeled vehicles roll and thunder along over the icy pavements joy Sparkles in every eye, and gladness beams from every countenance and now the time approaches for the arrival of the Canadian delegation, the ferry boats are plying rapidly across the Detroit River—vast multitudes are assembling on either shore—Fire Companies, with their glittering Engines, Hook and Ladder Companies, the Military, horse, foot and dragoon, and citizens generally, from Jefferson Avenue to the Wharf, one solid mass of human beings, ready to welcome with hearty greetings our "Father Bull. At length, when the sun is nearing the horizon, the roar of the heavy train is heard in the distance, the shrill whistle announces it near at hand, and now a train of six large cars drawn by a magnificent locomotive moves majestically down the banks of the Detroit River, followed by another consisting of the same number and containing Bome twelve hundred men. They are greeted with the firing of cannon and the enthusiastic shouts of ten thousand freemen, bidding them welcome to the land of the free. When the cannon's roar and the echo of the shoutings had died away, the well cultivated Detroit Brass Band struck tip "God save the lung," which was soon followed by "Yankee Doodle." Short speeches and replies were made on the arrival of the train at Windsor, on the Canada shore, and also when the delegation reached the wharf of the city of Detroit. The order of procession as published by the Marshall, was not carried out, in consequence of the delay of the Canadian delegation some hours beyond its time. It therefore seems unnecessary to give it in full. Towards nightfall a procession was formed aomewhat after the published order, and proceeded amidst the firing of cannon and with marshal music to the banqueting hall.

Happen'"?

to

the entire ceiling and sides of which were covered with alternate stripes of red, blue and white, beautifully-blend-ed with wreaths and festoons of evergreen, on which was pouring a blaze of gas lights, giving it a most gorgeous and beautiful appearance. These decorations, skillfully arrayed, required the use of 4,500 yards of cloth and one thousand yards of evergreen. The various pillars and stands were decorated in a similar style.

In one end of the Hall where ihe presiding officers and a few distinguished guests were seated, a splendid banner was suspended on which was painted a large globe and train of cars, with the appropriate motto,

We unite all.'' On one of these cars stood the British Lion, on the other the American Eagle, beneath which were inscribed the British motto, "Dicu et mon Droit" and the American, "E Pluribus Unurn." Above the globe was seen three strong links encircling the English and American flngs, on which were inscribed, "New York Central, Great JVtfsiern, and Michigan Central Rail Road."

At the other end of the Hall was a splendid transparancy on which was thrown the combined light of twenty brilliant lamp?. On this transparency was beautifully wrought a locomotive and tender, over which waved the American and British flags'. In va­

rious parts of the room were to be seen the British flag and the stars

and stripes waving side by side as if united in the bonds of enduring

peace. In the center of the hall an orchestra was fitted up,and beautifully decorated with cloth and evergreen, and inscribed with the motto, "Brother Jonathan welcomes Father Bull and all his Foreign Relations." From this stand the Band discoursed most

thrilling music.

This capacious room was brilliantly illuminated with gas light which was most liberally and bountifully supplied by the City of Detroit At each end of the Hall, conspicuous among the lesser lights, appeared five large locomotive lamps with their concave reflectors so arranged as to throiv their lights towards the centre, and thus illumined the entire space. Light streamed beautifully out from one hundred and thirty burners, arranged with admirable skill displaying the various devices, mottoes, evergreens. and. drapery with delightful

effect.

In this vast Hall, glowing in the effulgence of more than pne hundred gas lights, decorated with thousands of yards of drapery and evergeen, were spread sixteen hundred feet of table, capable of seating seventeen hundred persons—and these tables were spread with a taste, a profusion and elegance which does honor to the munificence of the city, and the judgment and skill of those who arranged them. That our readers may form

some conception of the supper, we mention the supply of meats. There were 40 rounds of beef, 40 legs of mutton, 40 loins of mutton, 40 loins of veal, 40 sirloins of beef, 20 legs of veal stuffed, 1C0 smoked tongues, 75 hams, 150 turlaes, 500 chickens, 250 prairie chickens, 550 quails— cakes, candies and pastry in corresponding abundance. Along the entire length of this table were placed bottles of sparkling Champaigne Wine. In the language of the poet,

"The strong table groans

Beneath the smoking sirloin, stretch'd .immense From side to side, in which with desperate knife They deep incisions make, and talk the while Of England's glory, (America's too,) ne'er to be defae'd While hence they borrow vigor or

amain

be among the first

yvho entered, we had an opportunity of beholding, the spacious hall in all its magnificence. 'Twere a difficult task to do justice to the style and beauty of its arrangements. Its dimensions jare about 180 feet square,

Into the pasty plung'd, at intervals, If stomach keen can intervals allow, Relating all the glories of the chase Then sated hunger bids his brother

thirst

Produce the mighty bowl the mighty bowl, Svvell'd high with nery juice, steams

lib'ral round

A potent gale."

Such a scene never before have we beheld, and never before had we a realizing sense of the expression, "confusion worse confounded." In vain did the President, Vice Presidents and Marshalls call for order.— Champaigne was the presiding, ruling, governing spirit, and many bowed to liia mandate.

Toats were drank and speeches made, but not a word could be heard ten paces from the stand of the speaker. Every man spoke, danced or toasted G-n his own hook. Towards

the head of the table were some distinguished speakers, among whom was Mr. Robinson, of the New York Tribune, whom we wished to hear, but found it impossible. Toasts were read and speeches made in every part of the room save only in our immediate neighborhood and there stood one of the Vice Presidents, with toasts already prepared, and volunteer toasts handed to him, but he could not be prevailed on to read without the signal tap of the bell from the presiding officer. There he stood looking intently for the signal while the mass of men around him were

moving to and fro like the waves of the sea. We and others urged him to read and responses would be made loud and cheering as from any part of the room but no, mum he stood and mum stood we.

Finding our Vice President incorigible, we determined to toast and speak on our own hook, and commenced with the following by T. Bainbridge, of Lafayette:

"The New Albany and Salem Railroad, one of the main artries in the the great central thoroughfare from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean."

Responded to by Col. Wilion, of Crawfordsville, who dwelt with warmth, energy and eloquence on the moralising and civilizing influence oi Railroads. The completion, said he, of this last great link in the vast chain of Railroads, uniting the east and the west, has brought the fertile and extensive forests and prairies ol the west within the very suburbs of eastern cities. Distance was annihilated, the teeming millions of our happy country were assembled as if by magic beneath the canopy of one vast dwelling, to rejoice in their prosperity and cheer each other on in the high pathway of national glory.— [Cheers and loud applause.] The The Col. concluded with his famous

Yankee story, which olicited the most enthusiastic cheering. Toast by T. W. Fry:

Great Britain and the Ignited States, the illustrious Mother and mighty Daughter, bound together by the ties of consanguinity, now united by bands of iron, which, may time nor revolution sunder."

Responded to by B. W. Ilanna, who spoke in brilliant terms of the proud position and glory of our mother country, and the mighty influence she now exerts on the destinies of the world. England, said he, is now the grand central luminary of civilization, whose beams of glorious light were penetrating every dark and benighted corner of the globe, [Loud cheers by the Canadians,] but, he continued, the sun of American civilization was fast culminating towards the zenith, and the genial warmth of its hallowed influence was shaking to their very centre the corrupt and tottering thrones and dynasties of the Old World. [Loud and prolonged

cheering from Canadians and Ameri cans.] After a few brilliant remarks he concluded with the following toast:

"The Railways and beautiful Wo­

men of Great Britain and the United States, the whole secret of their national wealth and national glory."

Responded to by Thos. Underwood, of Lafayette. Gentlemen, said Mr. Underwood, were I to keep silent the very walls and pillars of this noble building would cry aloud the sentiment of the toast must meet with a hearty response from every heart. By means of Railroads, here are united in this room, the very ends of the earth, and but for the kind, attentive, and watchful care of our mothers where would we have been emphatically no where! [Deafening Cheers.] Railroads, gentlemen, and beautiful Women are the very main-spring of all our prosperity and joy admiration for beauty was one of the first buddings of my youthful mind it has grown with my growth and strengthened with my strength. [Applause.] How trite the sentiment of the poet, "Man the hermit sighed till woman smiled." In glowing, brilliant and eloquent language did the speaker portray the charms and fascinations of female beauty and after lffting his audience even above and beyond the Champaigne excitement he concluded with the emphatic declaration— gentlemen, the Hoosier ladies never make buck-wheat cakes of soft soap and saleratus.. [Long and continued

applause.] Many other toasts were offered and would have been responded to but

for the "noise and confusion." Our Vice President politely invited us to hand them in next morning, but the proceedings appeared in the city Dailies next morning, and we

were homeward bound. The day was bright clear and beau­

tiful, the banquet was prepared on

liberal and magnificent scale, the crowd seemed joyou# and happy.-— But one element marjred the festivities and destroyed in a great meas­

ure the object of the celebration.— That element was wine some twelve

hundred bottles of which was consumed in a few minutes after the crowd was seated.. The authorities, perceiving its influence, were compelled to ceaso its distribution and place it under lock and key.

The supply of wine on such an occasion, was unfortunate, yea, it was wrong. But the blame rests alone with the city authorities. The State of Michigan and the city of Detroit had recently voted in favor of the Maine Law, the constitutionality of which was soon to be decided by the Supreme Court of the State. The wine was purchased from the city treasury, a majority of whose citizens opposed such an appropriation of their funds. This part of their celebration must meet with universal condemnation. Even those who quaffed ihe wine and oppose the Maine Law, condemn the authorities. The example set on such an occasion cannot fail to have its influence in every part of our own country and Cana­

da, and it can be no other than per­

nicious. But for the disorder produced by the too free use of wine, this would be one of the grandest celebrations ever had in the United States. This evening or to-morrow we shall write some impressions of Detroit and the State of Michigan through which we

passed. T. W. F.

QQ^IIon. Joseph E. McDonald, will deliver the Seventh Lecture before the Mechanics' Institute, on Thursday evening,Feb. 2d. Subject, "Political Revolutions, their effect upon Popular Rights."

Modernized Names.

In the olden time, there was a woman distinguished alike for her many virtues and her exceeding beauty, and God called her Sarah, which signifies "Princess, or chief of multitudes." In succeeding generations she had many namesakes, some of whom won honer and immortality, and all of them rejoiced in the possession of a "good name," without seeking to cast it off, till the present time. Now, forsooth, it is contemned as old fashined, and the substitutes

are Sallie and Sattie. Another righteous, character was called Martha. John says, "now Jesus loved Martha." Modernized it would be, Jesus loved Matlie! Shade of St. John, forgive us 1

Elizabeth was the honored mother of him who was sent as the forerunner of Christ and in later ages the proudest Queen that ever sat upon England's throne, gave celebrity and renown to that high-sounding name. From historic association it conveys to us ideas of power and intellect an unconquered will, and energy to battle with the actualities of life but now Mis obsolete, and we only see sonnets to Lizzie and cards from Bet-

tie. Then we have that beautiful, euphonious, and musical name of

Mary, 'And she to whom it once was given,

Was half of earth and half of heaven.' Again it designates that meek and humble being who "annotated our Savior's feet and wiped them with her hair," and in every age and country it has had ita devotees "and admirers.--

'Twas worn by that unfortunate but richly gifted Queen, whose loveliness wove a spell for the hearts of the people, and whose misfortunes have inspired the noblest strains of the poet, and colored the saddest scenes in Scottish, romance. Then spare that name, for its sacred associations, from the desecrating touch of fashion.— Leave it perfect in its simplicity, and do not mar it with a modern termination. Why this everlasting tacking on of tie? Absurd! rediculous!— Your mothers before you, were known and respected as Catherine and Harriet, Susan and Martha, names "not unknown to fame," while you repudiating the baptismal gift, fashion up Kattie and Hattie, Sussie and Matlie. 1 wonder the ghost of your old fashioned grandmother don't come out of her old fashioned coffin and "rap" you. But would her old eyes recognize that pale, inanimate, over-dress-ed young ladze, as the "bonnie wee thing" she had caressed and fondled and called for herself, vainly imagining her name would descend to latest posterity. Poor dear soul, she had no prophetic glasses to read the improvement in the latter half of the nineteenth century, or she would not have "laid that flattering unction to

her soul." Margaret Avas once thought a righi sensible sort of name, and has been gracefully worn by 3'outh and beauty but now though the possessor thereof may have reached the shady side of thirty, without ever having known beauty, yet she styles herself "Miss Maggi'e," an affected juvinility that glaringly shows an anxiety to change her name. We used to have friends, tried and true, among the Janes alas, the are no more. Time with its "unsparing hand" has changed them all to Jennies.

Girls, keep your "pet names," but for Heaven's sake keep them at home, for your lover or brother to use, and dont let the world seeyou are ashamed of that precious gift of love, bestow ed with many a kiss upon the babe in the cradle. Seek rather to adorn and beautify it by noble acts and gentle charities, and you will leave a name'that will not perish in the dust.'

ANNA vs. ANNIE.

Doings in Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—Senate—A resolutien was adopted directing an inquiry as to the propriety of extending the laws regulating pensions of the widows of revolutionary soldiers to the widows of soldiers of 1812.

Mr. Gwin offered a resolution calling for information in regard to the disposal of tiie United States naval force, at the time of the expedition from California to Sonora, upon which a warm debate ensued.

House— On motion, the Committee on Military Affairs, were instructed to inquire into the expediency of constructing a road from SHII Lake City to California, for military and other purposes.

McCarothers reported a bill from the Committee on Public lands, giving the right of way to the St. Louis and Iron Railway, thro' the grounds of the Jefferson Barracks.. Referred.

The House then went into committee of the whole, on the resolution to refer the President's message to the appropriate committees.

Mr. Ruth then took the floor and made a speech, in which he highly eulogized South Carolina, and defended slavery, which he said was a great national institution and blessing, etc.

A Man Shot by his Wife.

The Louisville Democrat of the 3th instant, has a letter from Leavenworth, Indiana, giving the particulars of an unfortunate occurrence which recently happened there, resultiug in the death of a husband by his wife. On the 9th instant, a man named Ornfield left his home, informing his wife that he would be back in two or three days. That night Mrs. Ornfield heard some one trying to get into the house, took a rifle down and fired through the door, one inch in thickness, and shot her husband through the heart. She brought the body into the house, and informed the neighbors of the occurrence. When they went to the house they found Ornfield shot, the gun broken to pieces, and a great deal of blood on the floor.— As many think that a cold-blooded murder has been committed, and that the story of the wife above related is a lie to cover her guilt, she has been committed to jail to answer for the murder of her husband.—Cin. Enquirer.,,

SOLAR ECLITSE IN 1854.—On Friday' the 26th of May next, there will be an eclipse of the sun which will be more or less visible in all parts of the United States and Canada, and in a portion of both will be annular. Its commencement in the city of Washington will be at 4h. 20m. in the afternoon, its greatest obscuration at oh ml8, and its end at 6h. 27m. As the apparent diameter of the moon will be a little less than the sun, the eclipse can not be total anywhere. The Christian Almanac says:, I*?.,,,, "The ring will be only about one-

third of a digit wide, and will be only visible in the vicinity where the line of central eclipse passes. The eclipse is central in longitude, 73 53 wrst of Greefiwhtch, latitude 44 14 north and in longitude 64 35 west, latitude 41 10 north. By finding these positions upon a map, and drawing a line from one to the other, the town and countries through which the central eclipse passes will be readily discovered.

The path of the annular ellipse will be about one hundred miles wide and extend about fifty miles each side of the lines we have described.—The annular eclipse will move about one hundred miles per minute. The first time this eclipse ever occured was in 1813, July 2d since then it has returned thirty-one times, including its return next year. It occured in April, 1815, in May, 1818, and in May, 1836. It will return again in June 1872. Its last return will be in the year 2593, August, 17th. The next solar eclipse that will attract much attention in this country will be in 1858, March 15th."

Foreign News.

HALIFAX, Jan. 23.—The Niagara arrived this morning with Liverpool dates of 7th inst. Terrible snow storm in Great Brittain. Turkish affairs more complicated. Flour has considerably advanced, and Wheat in good demand.

The snow blocked the roads in England two days. In Belgium it was several feet deep, and the railway tracks thick with ice.

At Madrid the winter is very severe. The Baltic is packed with floating ice.

It is reported that the second duel between Soule aud Lord Howden has been deferredMn consequence of death in the family of the latter.

The Paris Moniteur contains a circular from the minister of foreign affairs, of the 30th Dec., addressed to all the French legations, on the Eastern question. The document is moderate but very firm. He narrates the phases of the question, declares that France, England, Austria, and Prussia solemnly recognized the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire and further, that the affair at SinopR fnuk place against all provisi n-j She only desired a material guarantee, therefore, to protect the Ottoman territory and flags from further attack. The circular terminates in expressing the hope that Russia will not expose Europe to new convulsions.

The papers authentically state that the French government is dissatislied with the evasive conduct ofj Austria, and addressed a strong letter ol remonstrance.

Terrible Tornado.

Mr. VERNON, Jan. 21.—Yesterday] afternoon our section of country was visited by one of the heaviest storms of "rain, wind, thundering and lightn-1 ing we have had since the year 182S. Tornado was the severest about six miles south of us. The town of Brandon was almost entirely destroyed. Scarcely a house is left to mark the site of the place. A Dr. Wheaton, of Brandon, was severely if not fatally injured. Our first report said he was killed by the fall of his house. A Mrs. Smith had her arm broken and her head severely cut by the falling of her house so much so that her life is despaired of.

The tornado was about a half a mile wide, tearing up everything in its track. At Brandon large two story houses were moved from their foundation ten or twelve feet. The full extent of damage we are yet unable to learn. Our streams overflowed their banks, and in attempting to cross "Armstrong Run" last evening Mr. Ebenezer Jenkins was thrown from his buggy and drowned. The stable of Buckingham &> Co. of this place was struck by lightening. In violence, the tornado was but little behind that known here as the "Burlington Tornado" 1828., The lower parts of our town were almost inundated with the tremendeous quantity of rain that fell. Our streets looked more like rivers than common thoroughfares. The amount of damage must be great, as the section of country exposed was thickly settled.

Matters in Washington.

The people of Washington were astonished, Jan. 17th, by Mike Walsh, who gave Congress "a chapter" on New York politics. The Vanburenites "caught it"—nor was the Coalition Cabinet spared. Mike made old members marvel at his onslaught, and young members stare at his imprudence. He vindicated at length the noble, chivalrous and self-sacri-ficing Democratic party,1kagainst the assaults of 'desperate, disloyal Whigs and the spur-heeled negroes and abolitionists, whose hearts and purposes were as black as the faces of the negroes.'

Smith of Alabama, asked, at thi3 point, what is the difference between the Hards and Softs of New York!

Mike paused—Mike was puzzeled —Mike could not answer the question. But Cutting did—for he is a lawyer and a tactician—and according to the Ilards, made Southern Democrats stand aghast, as he portrayed the villany of Van Buren, Marcy and their friends.

Then in the evening, the eccentric

Trial and Sentence of the.Burglars.

The burglars, whose arrest was noticed in our last, and who^gave their names as Burton, II ay den and Smith, have since been tried in the Court of Common Pleas—Judge Kinney—and sentenced by the Jury to pay a fine of 225 dollars each, and to be confined at hard labor in the State Prison, each for the term of twelve years The little fellow, who has so often, since his arrest, declared that he would give ten thousand dollars to be with his mother, dropped his head as the sad sentence struck his ear, arid could raise it no more while he remained in Court. The two other men, themselves quite young, managed to remain erect but the blood-shot eye, the knotted muscles of the face, and big drops of perspiration told of the agony of emotion that fired the brain. What an example to the young!— What a warning to all to resist the first impulse to evil—to refrain from the first step in crime. The way of transgressors is hard.— Terre Haute
