    ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
   The citizens of Fayetteville, agreeably to previous arrangements, 
celebrated Saturday, 3rd instant, as the Anniversary of American Independence.
   The day was ushered in by a discharge of cannon from Liberty Point, and by 
the display of the Union Flag from the summit of the Town House. At 11 
o'clock, a procession formed at the Court House, consisting of the Flying 
Artillery, the Independent Company, MR. RANSOM'S Cadets, and citizen, who went 
thence to the Presbytrian Church where after religious services from the REV. 
MR. JONES and the REV. MR. KIRKPATRICK, and the reading of the Declaration of 
Independence by EDWARD L. WINSLOW, ESQ., an appropriate oration was delivered 
by JAMES M. WRIGHT, ESQ.
   The day was spent in much harmony and feelings which it ought, and must 
always inspire. There was no public dinner provided by the Committee of 
Arrangements, though there were several dining parties. The following are the 
toasts drunk by a party in Mumfort Grove, at which MAJ. JOHN LIPPITT was 
President, CAPT. ANSON BAILEY, 1st Vice President, LT. WM. WADILL, 2nd Vice 
President and LT. J. McLERAN, 3rd Vice President:
