We propose o giv laoclenct account of ihe festivities of tbe day, in which hot only the Pioneers of oar beautiful Valley participated bat in hich thousands of people men, women nd children -yottn men and maidens, old men and matron joined, all ss bppy the day: waa bright an i lovely. The day was ushered in by the" discharge : of cannon. . - , . , THE GBOCNDS. , '.' The celebration was herd in a deluhtful grore one mile and a half belaw Brookvilte, on a bluff overlooking the adjacent fields. This bluff abounds in numerous aprng yielding abundance of clear, cool, almost sparkling streams of wattr. ms crowd was' large. A long traiu of cars came from Connersville filled with people from towns on the railroad ; another train from Cincinnati, bringing a multitude from the city and from the intermediate towns and their vicinity. People came from all directions in carriages, spring wagons, buggies, big wagons, on horse and on foot. EXERCISES AT TUB STAND. At the proper hour the Hon. A. B. Line was introduced to the audience, and after leaking some appropriate remarks, took the stand as President of the day. Prayer was then offered by Rev. W. A. Hutchison, the people all reverently standing. Uev. T. ! II. Lynch.who had been appointed to make

tbe address of welcome to the pioneers and pleasant 6tjle. His reference to old acTisitors, was" introduced by the presiding quaintances and associations in Brookville, officer remarking that "Mr Lynch did not his allusion to tbe few living and tbe dead know whether be belonged to the pioneers of those with whom be bad mingled in

or to ouog America, m reply to winch i Mr. Lyooh observed, "1 am a pioneer and Young America too." Just before commencing his addresK, the committee informed the speaker that Col. Hudson of Terre Haute, the orator of the day, had not arrived; that they were one speaker ibtrt; and requested him to ltna out a lit. j tie," which he did for some tweuty-five j

ininutes, Leepiog the large audieuce in a j stances in a humorous 6iy!e by the Hon. fine humor. i Charles Test, who sixty years ago was a Iter. B. W. Chidlaw of Hamilton Coun- ciiixeo. of Brookville. His old friends ty, Ohio, selected to reply to the address j were glad to see him, and will always bid of welcome, was now iuiroduced, and com-j him a hearty welcome to their midst. menced his speech by some remarks in j The Judge looks well, but time has made the Welsh Ungutge to show that although ; Jt8 impress upon bis brow, uow an American by adoption and longj The Hon. John A. Matson was also residence, he still has command of bis 'here. He came to look once more upon

mother tongue. In his address Mr. Chidlawgave a most iuterecting account of the early settlement of the White Water country, including adjacent neighborhoods on the Miami. He gve us th. name of the first settler, the first church, the first school-house, the first teacher, the first spelling book used in the pioneer school, j the first mill, the first store, the hrst merchant, the first preacher, and a great many facts of deep interest to his attentive auditors. .We hope Mr. Chidlaw will preserve a record ot the facts and incidents related by him ; they will La of great val-j ue to the future historian of the times of which he spake. ' The Declaration of Independence was the a read in a clear and iuiprct-siva manner by Win. H. Bratkcn Esq. After some remarks by Mr. Line, the meeting adjourned for iilXNER. Everybody had diuuer. Nice white table cloths were spread upon the ground in every direction, upon which innumerable baskets were emptied of their contents. These consisted of boiled ham,

roast oeet, lamo, veai, inea cincnen, Dreaa j y of Jujyt 1S7I. Resolutions offered sliced aud buttered, biscuit, fruits, pickles, ! by Mr. Chidlaw and seconded by Judge jellies, pies, cakes, and "whole heaps of j Matson were adopted, looking to" the segood things." Many had coffee and tea, curinp protecting and beautifying the

a a a 1 ar 1 1 1 1 it and alt had plenty of cood water. Oue thoughtfui pioneer lady brought some excellent cura-poitt ; it was fine. We believe all were well fed. After all had feasted abundantly, there appeared to be enough left for another good sijtcd celebra tion. AFTER MXNKR, the CTOvvd again assembled at the stand for the exhibition of relics. We regret that we are not able to name all that were exhibited,' or the persons by whom, pre sented. Prom aiuja the number we can only , mention a few. Mr Lynch exhibited' a' Jock of hair from the head of General! Andrew Jackson, and a pocket-book over a hundred years old, and a pair of heavy silver spectacles mada a century ago and worn by his wife's father, the lo Major David Davis, for many years a well known ejliien of Washington Mutn C. Ky. lie also exhibited in bh ill' of Mrs. lies.! terVifif-of tuVltav'l': A. Hester, an ati ; iiquhoe of fine kid, sharp toe and hio.li heel, in which her grandmother d nu rd. This shoa attracted much iuiere.-t, also a snuff box carried by her kranuTather, Gcu. Heard, in the War of the Revolution, on Jlck; is written the Declaration of Independence. Mrs. John sent to the stand a mortar and pestle brought from England one hundred and fifty years ago by the grandfather of the late Robart John, long . ... . ,i a Citizen of Brookvitie. 1 his mortar and ! , , , , .. , i pestle were used by women and children i f . , . , . , i in the War of the Revolution to pound' corn to make bread for themselves while j besieged by the British. A gourd one hundred and fifty years old, raised by the grandfather of the late Mr. iioodin, was presented. It had been used

as a pewder-flisk before and during tbe War of the Revolution. And old sword and dragoon pistol, each rusty with age, showed that they had dona pood service in the cause of our country. M-. LaughIin of Hush County exhibited a linteyvoool ry petticoat one hundred and twenty years old; it has been well preserved,the cloth jet firm; also a book three hundred years old. A pewter plate, a cup and saucer one hundred and thirty years old, were exhibited.

Mr. Uhidlaw exhibited an old bible car ried by the first Methodist preacher that ever traveled through this Valley, the Rev. Mr. Wooster; it bore the marks or study. At this point an old hymn book poblished by Daniel Hitt for the M. E. Church was .exhibited. Several in the crowd called for 'the singing of a hymn. Mr. Chidlaw lined out the bjnin, 4'0 God, our help in ages past,' &., which the audience sang' with a will. The "giving out of the bymo and the singing reminded us of the camp meeting times of our early days. , A. B. Line presented Eeveral interesting relics, among them a part of tbe chain used in suveyiog what is known as Sjuimes Purchase in Ohio. A charter from Lord Baltimore, a letter from Patrick Henry, and other -old documents full of historic intere'stwere presented and read. We cannot name all the relics that were exhibited. " During the exhibition of these relics, many interesting, suggestive and amusing remarks were made by Messrs. Chidlaw, Lynch, Mc'Clure, Laughlin, Line and others, holding the large audience at the stand until all was over. The reading of an old school article', presented by Mr. Lynch, with some humorous allusions and remarks of his, was the occasion of a call for the Hon. John II. Farqubar to take ,e td. He gave us a most eloquent, jpjowioK address in hia own peculiar and fbraier years, reached the fountains of the heart and brought tears from many eyes. Colonel, may you long live to attend pio neer meetings; loog may the deep tones of your voice cheer the weary pioneer as he descends with tottering steps to the grave. OTHER SPEAKERS. The audience was also addressed in a r0st lively, interesting, and in some iuthe scenes of his early days. He attended church in Brookville on Sabbath, and right glad were his old friends to tale him by the hand. The only fault anybody found with his speech was, that there was not enough of it ; the people said they wanted bim to talk longer. Come back. Judge; the old friends will ever bid you welcome. The Hon. S. S. Harding was "at home' once more. He made an amusing and in' tercsting speech, which he seemed to en joy, and which we know the people did very iuch. All united in saying our old friend and former citizen will not forget tbe friends of his early life, but that he will come again. Other speakers entertained the crowd, much to their gratification and instruction. The day was for us a high day. All seemed happy and harmonious. No improper conduct, so far as we saw and beard, occurred on the ground. RESOLUTIONS. It was resolved that the next meeting of the Pioneer Association should be held at Hunt's Grove, below Harrison, on the 4th grounds and tho tomb where repose the remains of the noble patriot, soldier and statesman, William Henry Harrison, late President of the United States. TI1E PIONEERS. We very much regret our utter inability to give the names of all the eld pioneers who were ptesent. W hope this will be attended to at the next meeting. Will not sich t ioneers is McCIura. Pnalev. Rat. , Co, h matter of duty ? THE COMMITTEES. ; Too much praise eannot be given to the committees who had charge of the arrangements for our Celebration. They have been faithful to their respective duties, and community will award to them he thanks and acknowledgments due them for their zeal, energy and fidelity in this noble cause. The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer very sarcastically says: "We are inclined to believe that most of the people, whether they went or were carried into the rebellion, have frankly and honorably accepted tbe result. But there is a pretty aotive set in tbe South who are anxious to accept along with the result any little official trimmings that the result may oast t over them." . , , , Official reports mention that tbe recoct , r. . ., , attack upon the Kansas 1'acifio llailroad , . . .,. , , was not committed by the Moux, but by a . . , , T ,. . ... reuegaue inuians 01 a great oianj inue. President Urant reached Hartford, I Conn , Saturday, and was enthusiastically received. He is the guost of Gov. Jewell,

The Republican Platform. Tbe reduction of the public debt for

June is more than twenty million dollars. Hon. Geo. VV. Julian. Should Congress, at tbe present session, pass the Apportionment Bill which they bare under consideration, and which will give to Indiana two additional Represent atives to ba elected by the State at large, we have bo hesitation in saying that Mr Julian would be our first choice as one of these members. The few hundred bolters in bis old District who rendered his elec tion so uncertain would not be felt in a vote of tbe whole Stats, for we expect a majority of twelve or fifteen thousand at the October election. Mr. Julian's coarse in Congress has always had oar heartiest approval, and we opposed his nomination in tbe District simply because we were afraid of defeat. We hope oar sugges tion ia this matter will, meet the views of the Republicans of tbe State, thus contin uing to the whole Union the valuable ser vices of Mr. Julian, if his health will per mit his acceptance of the position. Warlike Preparations. General Sherman -having received offi cial news from General Sheridan, of tbe appearance of Arrapaboe aud Sioux Indians along the Pacific Railroad, beyond Fort Saunders, be replied to strengthen the line of the road as much as possible in that quarter with infantry, so disposed that the cavalry will be on hand and ready Tbe Fourteenth Infantry can be transfer red, he adds, to General Augur. Sheridan has also notified Sherman of the receipt oft information from the Vice Consul at Pern bina, relative to the movement cf hostile Sioux from the Winnipeg country in the direction of Benton. All the friendly Indians have been driven in by these Indians and war parties of the Uncpapas and Yancton Sioux. In consequence thereof, and attacks on small parties of white men already reported, all the available military in Washington and vicinity were on Suad ayeventng dispatched to General Sheridan. Methodist Lay Delegation Triumphant. The Methodist says: 'We learu by a cable dispatch, received June 24, from Dr. Hurst, that the German and Switzerland Conference, which met at Carlsruhe, June 23, has cast all its votes, 3d, for lay dele-, gation. The total aflirmative vote of the ministry by this addition reaches 4 946; total negative vote remains 1,589, and the grand aggregate becomes 6,335. Threefourths of 6,535 is 4,901, or 45 less than 4,946, the affirmative vote. This puts the result beyond all contingency. The Southern Cotton Crop Last Year. The Germantown (Pa ) Telegraph asserts that the cotton crop last year instead of reaching only two and a half millions of bales, as represented, amounts to according to tbe best information to be obtained on the subject three millions two hundred and thirty-seven thousand bales. The value of the crop is set down at three hundred millions of dollars, showing a greater profit to the planters than was ever derived during the existence of slavery, and with much less trouble. At this rate it will not take many years for the boather planters to be fully indemnified for the loss of their slave property, getting rid of a world of bother and anxiety beside. The reported discovery of a maelstrom in Salt Lake is a hoax. Tbe crops of Utah are threatened with total loen by the ravages of the grasshoppers and locusts. Under the caption "solar unpleasantness," the New York Times announces a large number of deaths by sun-stroke. Spiritualists report a rapid increase of believers in their doolrines throughout the State of Indiana. The public debt was reduced last month $20,203,772 01. Tbe total debt, less cash in the Treasury now, is $2,386,358,599 74. i It is reported from Whetstone Agency that Spotted Tail has returned to bis home, but is very uncommunicative in regard to his recent visit to Washington. One Frank Tborue is to leap from the Suspension Bridge at Niagara Falls, on the 13ih of August, for which he is to receive 910,000. Among the recent gold discoveries, those of Utah are at once the richest and most remarkable ever made on this continent. General Wade Hampton has beaten his sword into a plowshare. At least,, he has bought a share in a steam plow which cost is,ooo. Daniel W. Voorhees was nominated for Congress without opposition by tbe Sixth Indiana District Democratic Congressional Convention, in Terre Haute, on Thursday. Polygamy was not part of the Mormon religion origiually. It was not until 1852 that the practice of a plurality of wives was, at first recommended. The Democrats and Reformers, in convention in Indianapolis, Saturday, nonii. Dated a ticket for county officers, with John W. Murphey, a promiuent merchant, for State Senator. Congress is working now with a hearty good will.. The indications are that all important bills will be passed before ad journment. The census ia to cuat about six cents a head for all the persons enrolled, $2,326, COO foe the whoie.

More than the oeual demand for American breadstuff comes this year from France and Germany, and there is much excitement in New York and Chicago concerning wheat. The Democracy of Ohio are waking up to the live issues, as appears from the following resolution passed at their Mercer County Convention the other day : Raolved, That the so called war debt is a fraud and swindle, and was created under false pretenses and in violation of the Constitution; we are, therefore, uncompromisingly in favor of repudiating the whole of the bonded war debt of the United Staffs. That we are unalterably opposed to negro citizenship and negro suffrage ; that the Fifteenth amenJment to the Constitution of the United States was forced upon the people by trickery and fraud, and against their well known wishes, and is, therefore, illegal, void, and of no binding force whatever. Dispatches from Washington indicate that the Indian war has commenced. The Pope in bis last manifesto anathematized apostates, schismatics, Masons, Fenians, sequestrators of ecclesiastical property, duelists, abortionists and uther vile characrs. A bill has passed, the Mississippi House punishing, by a due of $1,000, public car riers who make a distinction ou account of race or ooJo. It also provides for a sepa rate action for damages. it is computed that every year the Mis sitsippt carries to. tk Gulf a bulk of soil a mile squ&ie and nearly three hundred feet dsep. lu time, therefore, New Orleans must become a fair iolaud city. A friend sugauied that from the number of dr.ea.tUul uturders, suicides, etc., we hai oS sow a days, it is reasonable to sup. pose that this is the time spoken of in the Bible when the devil was to be let loose for a number of years. The report from Fort Laramie says that Red Cioud and his tribe have gone on a Buffalo hunt, where they will be gone some weeks, and when they return they will trade and talk peax. The Senate, iu executive session, voted 28 to 2S on the San Domingo treaty. A two-thirds tote Lei tig required, the treaty was lost. Countirg thuse who paired off, 32 Senators are agaiuct ratification. Fred. Douglass says that if a colored man wants to vote tbe Democratic ticket he must be allowed to do bp; perfect free dom implies tbe right of a man to make a fool of himself if he wants to. Father Hyaciuihe was lately at Munich, and attracted great attention. He wrote to Montreal, Canada, saying that thhtyeix families of the parish of St. Ephrim D'Upton had abjured the Catholic relig ion, and it was expected that others would follow. Were any private individual to be pur sued with the virulent detraction and uni form unfairness to which tbe President has been from time to time subjected by certain ot his critics, the perpetrators of such abuse could scarcely fail to meet with the contempt of all impartial men. Alas, there is something worse to come and more of it. The Boston Traveller an. nounces that ''the country will shortly be startled with a gigautio musical scheme, which will cause all other gatherings of a similar nature which bave preceded it to pale their ineffectual fires." Tbe Indiana diviaiou of the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railway, between Fort Wayne and Sturgis, Michigan, has been formally opened for business, and has already a much larger patronage than the most sanguine had anticipated. The company have equipped the road with first class rolling Mock, and are increasing it rapidly in order to meet the demand. Three thousand workingmen he'd a mass meetingThursday night in Tompkins' New York, Square, to protest against the importation of Chinese laborers. There was speaking at three stands, and resolutions were passed denouncing tbe Chinese and all who imported them. Other meet ings were called. The workingmen of New York are evidently much alarmed at the prospect of competition with the Chi nese. The Secretary of the Treasury has ordered the Assistant Treasurer at New York to sell a million of gold on each Wednesday of July, half on account of the sinking fund, and half on account of the special fund. A million of bonds, each time, will be bought on the first and third Thursday, for the sinking fund, and two million each on the second and fourth for the special fund. The defaulting J ay couuty- Treasurer, Hiatt, has returned. The 850.000 deficit first reported has aimmered duwu to $10,0U0, and now it appears that there is no deficit at all ibe SH'.OUO having been loaned oat to friends for few days, and Dot returned in lime for Li eettleuieitt. It will all b saved, neither the couutj - ooc surety losing tojthiug.

The President has signed the bills to

regulate tbe foreign and coasting trade on the Northern, Northwestern and North eastern frontiers of of the United States; to establish and protect National Cemeter ies; the joint resolution authorising the State of New Jersey to receive the Stevens Battery, and the act to prevent the extermination of fur-bearing animals in Alas ka. The Democrats have opened the campaign in the First Congressional District in a characteristic manner. A Mr. Finch, of Armstrong township, Vanderburg county, hired some colored men to assist him in harvesting his wheat, last week, whereupon his Democratic neighbors cut the bands and gearing ofliis reaper. He then hired five colored men to cut the grain by hand. These had hardly commenced work when a committee ot Democrats waited upon Mr. F. and demanded that be should send away his bands, aud threatened that if they were not 6ent away they would be driven away, and he with them. Mr. Finch claimed tbe Democratic ' right to manage his own domestic concerns in his own way," etc., in the language of the time honored platforms. The vile crowd persisted in thtir threats and abuse until the colored men were driven off, and Mr. F. was left to save his wheat crop as best be could. Tbe Courier 6ys that "Mr. Finch is one of the wheel-horses of the Democratic party, ' and tries to rob its party friends of the glory of the achievement, by intimating that some of the rioter may have been Republicans. A prominent Democrat of the town&hip assures the .Evansville Journal, from wi.ieh we get the above facts, that no Republican was in the gang. The Courier, with its usual Bourbon stupidity, says "As long as there is a black man on the the face of the earth there will be war aaong the white race about what he shali ..... do, or what we tdiall do with him." Well, what do Democrats propose to do vith him? itepubheaua have broken his shackles, and propose to give bim a fair ehatiie l earn his subsistence and enjoy the fruits of his labor. The lazy vagabond Democracy, who organize Ku Kiux clans to mob peaceful laborers in the harvest field, had better let the black man alone, and strive to imitate his peaceful and industrious habits. Journal. David Gooding who held the bottle to Andy's uioutb, and sneezed when Audy took snuff, who ''swung around the eircl" with Aody, etc., etc. has been nominated by the democracy of the 4th District for Congress. Anderson, Herald. "We first said ih above ''was quite c&mcct," but are informed we are mistaken. He started to swing around the circle with Aody and the rest oilhtm frlluu:, feeling and aetiii th most g$aulLc ot'any and arriving in New York ae wa inform cd by a savant of cuure, that men of large brain were hearty eaters. Dining in state at Delmouico's furnished the coveted opportunity to demonstrate his superiority , and he did demonstrate . It soured ou him, aud brought on well cholera mor bus. Seward called him a d d fool, aud he was seut back. So his circle proved to be only a small segmeut, 'with great expectations' at oue eud aud a big puke at the other. His Congressional race has begun and will end iu about the same way. Greenfield Commercial. The work of preparing for the Davidson Fountain is going steadily on, and before another summer oan inflict a heated term upon us its sparkling waters will cool and refresh one of our great thoroughfares. Cincinnati Chronicle. During his apostacy Gooding used (o boa.st that when he wcut up to the polls to vote the Democratic ticket, he always turned his head away in shame as he presented his ballot, Since Dave swung around with Andy he has probably lost his squeamishness; but it will be rather an entertaining occupation to observe, at the next election, how the old simon-pure Democrats who have never scratched a ticket, will go up to the pools and vote for Gooding! Itushviile Republican. The labor question is to be the question in the future. The rumblings and inutterings of its agitation are beginning to be heard. The women want labor, and they are going to have it, too. And they want pay for what they do equal to what a man receives for the same services. The boys seek good situations early in life, and want full wages from the start. The Chinese are williog to take the contract for all our work, but then we are afraid of the baby, faced Pagans. They cut so fearfully on wages, who knows how soon they might try the same process on our throats? In tbe meantime our intelligent laborers are agi tated, and are forming societies to keep everybody from labor unless they receive such wages as we fear the country will be unable to py very much longer. We are verging toward a muddle. Labor always did worry us, from our youth op. Chronicle. The Democratic Congressional Manifesto. If the recent published address of the Democratic Congressman is to be taken as the first pronunciamento of the campaign, the initiative shot into the enemy's camp, it may well be said to have fallen stillborn, or, like the fuse of damp powder, fizzed out before it attracted attention. It would not fill worthily a place in the political column of a country Democratic newspaper, and that seems to be the way in which that class of journals are treating the document. New York World. A Question of Numbers. Democratic papers try to ratte capital out of the fact that the Republican party oever hesitates to ezpoae and punish knaves, even though it finds them in its ewn ranks, and some of them predict that it will be the death of Republicanism yet. Now, looking at the matter from a Democratic standpoint, and judging of things by the Democratic standard, such a conclusion is probably natural; but, in fact, the tuaintetianre of the Republican prty is ouiy a question ot uuuibers a question as to wheher the knaves or the hMiei men outuumber in ihi cuuotrv. Whir Republicans have been coiitinuallv kicking the knaves out of their iart. Democrat, have been vis -rouly kichit. ou; i inn-vt men frin. their .-oi i'iu. We jet nave faith in the penjjitj and caueot believe b it tut the sheep outnumber the goats. lUuahviile Republican.

Senator Pratt. D D. Pratt, one of the Indiana Senators, is gradually becoming reconciled to the arduous duties of his position, and he is growing rapidly in the appreciation of his Senatorial colleagues. Quiet and unobtrusive in the Senate, a foe to all lobby rings and office seekers, be will never be popular with that class, or with the Bohemians who write for the press in their interest. When Senator Pratt speaks, it is after careful examination of the subject, as he would a lawyer's brief. Speaks di

rectly to the question, without a word to tbe galleries or to gaio the applause of outsiders. Few new members have so soon acquired the influence Mr. Pratt wields on the floor of the Senate. It is with pleasure we learn that Senator Pratt is looking for a residence in Washington, to which he will remove bis family, after the summer vacation. Instead of squandering the bound books, printed by Congress for distribution, amoDg a few individuals, Mr. Pratt sends them to the counties to be deposited in the county libraries. Madison Courier. Miami University. The Trustees of Miami University elected the following professors to supply the chairs made vacant by the resignations specified: Rev. Joseph MiiSiken, of Hamilton, to fill the chair of Greek, vacated by tbe resignation ol Prof. 5Samuel H.McMuliin; Prof. H. S. Otborn, of Lafayette College. Eston, Peuiit-ylvania, to the chair of Natural Sciences, vacated by the resignation of Prof. O. N. Stoddard; Prof. James A. I. Lowes, of South Salem Academy, Ross, county.

It has always been a niystcry to the Democracy how the Republican party to!- , i j i . i r - ",ut" "' "u main mtaet. ine &tBDers ot our pany are intelligent; they read asd think for themselves that accounts k.r so much difference of opinion in the party upon many questions but when it comes to a National contest, there are a few vital ifuestioad u'iii wkic-li ibey ran unite, and not make minor questions a party test.
