The procession was again lormed, and atter a son" of welcome from "the Warrenton Schools, marched to Kittrell'a Springs, about half a mile from i Col. ins The crowd was welcomQ by Mr Blacknall, one of the proprietors cf the springs.

He. said he rTs-tted- that owinff to the unfinished state of their buildings they conld not oiler better aocommona- tions to the crowd, lie auuaeu to the good influ ence exerted by Sabbath Schools, and gave one and all a hearty welcome. Rev Joel Tucker," Pastor of the Methodist Church in Raleigh, responded in a happy manner. He was followed by the Rev Solomon, of Warren Ion. in a few well timed remarks, at the close of which he made a motion that all of the Sabbath Schools present form themselves into a Union bbath School Celebiationfto meet me nrst aay oi may, at some place convenient to all.

Some one remarked that per haps a little whisky, might have been mixed with the water, but it is improbable to think that any one. would attend a baboath school Celebration nd carry along a bottle of liqnor. No, indeed! The above tnvea additional evidence of the wonderful effects of ths- water at Kitrell's Springs upon the human system.

He beffeves he can win it again, and will not leave England till he brings the late contest to a new and due conclusion. sumsof money had been collected at London and Liverpool for Sayers, who was to attend at the Stock Exchange on 21st, and be presented with a hundred guineas. Nothing had beeu determined on respecting the measures to be taken for a settlement of the affair between Heenan and Sayers.

The referee's decision was to be made the next week. The friends of both parties declare their anxiety for another meeting. Heenan strenuously claims having won the fight.

Correspondente of the Daily Progress Cedar Fork Academy, N. May 1st. Dear Progress Thinking that you may be glad to hear from an old have concluded to write you a short letter, which will give variety, if not much to your paper.

The day is dark and Jgldomy winter is There on us in May cold and damp the atmosphere and snow seems inevitable. But when we know that the whole universe is governed by law and rule by the immutable! and unchangeable law of hope' loomsjip before ns and tells us cold, winter cannot long violate this law with out punishment, and that Sol will RCatter the darkl clduds. arid soon come forth lend his rays to warm our earth. Wheat crops are looking very well tliey. have improved very much wjthin the last few weeks.

and, if winter will pnm leave, good crops may unboubtedly be expected. I am now at Cedar I ork Acalemy in. Wake i county, the N. C. Railroad, where I expect to remain only a few days.

This is the first session. There are about forty students in school They ail seem to he in high sriritsin anticipation of. the Examination which take place on the of June next, and at which time four Prize Medals are to be awarded to the ones who-may be! thought-worthy of the.tn. All appear to be in the contest, and no doubt" every one wlU apply himself dilligently to -win the reward of merit. 'All expect to have fine times, and, the finest of all, they expect to "see you, Vr.

Editor, on that bright day. I am glad to hear that and. will endeavor to meet you here. The Hermesian Literary Society of Cedar Fork Academy; are preparing to" celebrate the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Tbey have elected Prof.

W. York, of Cedar Fork Academy, as orator of the day A. B. Rob-erson, of Chatham county, to read the National Declaration, and J. O.j; Weatherspoon, pf Wake, to read the Mecklenburg Declaration.

They are; taking the right steps, arid doing: what every school and Literary Sojciety in the State should; By celebrating this many-facts or our State's history of which the young, (and I need not exclude the old are ignorant, would be made known, and thus a thirst to know more of the history of our State; would be excited and they would prosecute tbe study with the greatest ala- cnty Our histories scarcely intimate that Lib- State's history in its true light before the world. Every neighborhood, pown and village in North Carolina should celebrate the 2Uth of May. Ave would not have less stress placed upon the Nation-; al Declaration, but we think more importance should be attacneu to tue JwecKienburg JJeciara-: tion by every North Carolinian. The one is a national and the other a State Declaration Here; in North Carolina, where Liberty was nourished; an where she nrst unturled her anner more than twelve months before the National tion was made, we should celebrate that day, not n. .1 .1 as ine nomaiis uiu iiieir jupercaua.
