sa a ‘Div. — Tomorrow, throu Christian world, will be celeb “Ho ‘Paren—Pricters propose ‘to rest "from their labors on Christmas day, and per’ ©Sonsequence, no paper will be issued op ‘Tuesday mortiing. © ‘the feast of Christ's birth. In the zarly history of the Church it was customary to ‘the death of illustrious persons rather than their birth, and it was not antil in commemoration of the birth of a Saviour. \asage, practiced at the feast of : aes In the 5th century, the Westera Charch ordered that the feast should be celebrated forever on the day of the old Roman feast of the birth of Sol, though no information t@specting the day of Christ's birth existed. The custom of making presents on Christ mas Eve, is derived from an old heattién 70 “Germany ats fedst peouliar to that try. Bat mearly all civilized Dig pea fallen inte the custom—it has become con-. weerated by ages ‘and contributes to make: ‘the festival interesting to all'classes. The Englishman enjoys hie plum pudding and the American his roast turkey, while children everywhere anxiously look forward for . the yearly visits of Santa Claus. In most ‘of the Southern States the entire week, from Christmas day to New Year's, is spent as a holiday. Even-the slaves, during that time, were given holiday, and were allowed to meet on the different plantations for the purpese of enjoying themselves in their owa way. That the day will be properly cele rated in this city is evidenced by the rapidity with which turkeys are “‘gobbled up” in the market, and the lively business done by toy dealers and ‘confectioners. A large number of excellent presents were distributed at the Methodist Church last evening, and a Christmas tree will yield its joyous treasures to the little ones at the Congre~ gatioual Church to-morrow night. We suppose services, appropriate for the day, will be held at the city ad eb to-day. A Cunamsisextien Sattor.—On_ the “‘Qdth of last February, Captain Boggs, in command of the United States steamer Con. necticut, arrived at St. George’s Bermuda, and the pilot showed him a circular of her Britannic Majesty, ordering all Federal or Confederate vesseula of war to anchor in a certain spot. Captain Boggs anchored where he chose. The next day he was inVited, ‘by a gun-beat, to call upen’ the Gov‘sernor. ‘The Governor asked him if he had not seen the Queen's circular. Captain Boggs replied that he had seen a {circular directing that all Federal or Confederate vessels should anchor ia a certain spot; “but as I command neither of them, I took the liberty to use my own diseretion.” The Governor, with a face ‘of blank astonishtent, asked: ‘What do you command?” . And the true-hearted and clear-headed sailor replied, “I have the honor te command a United States man-of-wat.” Captain Boggs, says an Eastern paper, ‘anderstands distinctly that the United States are not a league, a federation, or a ,confederation, but a nation. They are indiesolubly united inte one people, and no State or combination of States, no citizen or combination of citizens, can permanently disturb that unity. General Grant is not a Federal officer, he is a United States officer. An_ drew Johnson is not the Federal President, he is President of the United States. tt was convenient avd canning in the English Government to asstme an accomplished separation by describing the Government of the United States as Fed-ral, and the rebellion as the Confederate power.— Captain Boggs taugbt her Britanni¢ Majesty’s Governor of Bermuda a very necessary lesson, and he deserves the thanks of his country for it. It is also a lesson which we should ail do Well to ponder. ln a ~ 2 Penn ‘Our.—On Thursday igat, two hui ‘aa feet of Drum treet, San Zee, dren to attend, The children which t Gazette has been making so much . the schools, before the matter was ever’ derstanding, the coker was not eaiorejeent from town, retarned. One of the attaches of the Gazette, promised to bring a complaint in writing, before.the Trustees, which he neglected to do, probably preferring to bring the affair before the public, as that plan would give an opportunity of venting a little spite which he entertained against-seme school officer. We know that, the matter/of dismissing the children alluded to by the Gazette, was discussed, and the Trustees agreed upon a course of action, before any complaint was made through that paper. The Trustees ard ever ready to receive any suggestions, or hear any complaints which parents or citizens, have;to, tmake. Their object is to make. the Public . Schools equal to any m the State, and to this end their labors are directed. The man who willfully misrepresents them or seeks to bring discredit upon the Schools is an Jenemy-to the common school system. We should not have alluded to this subject except for the purpose of correcting misrepresubject, and for the truth of our stitements, we refer to any member of the Board of Trustees. The Schools in this city, are ‘equal to any in the State, and we again say that recent charges of incompetency of teachers, and the inputations against the Trustees are without foundation.. The Gazette is.certainly endeavoring to retain its whilom reputation for’ assailing every thing good. THE Cuniermas “Batt. —All who pro. pose attending the ball at the Theater to» morrow wight, have a glorious time in store. A splendid supper, prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Bailey, will be set upon the stage, and the best of music-will'be furnished by the Nevada Quadrille Band. We hope toseea good crowd out. CHRISTMAS TREE.— All those having presents for distribution at the Congregational Church, to-morrow night, are requested to have them in, if possible, by noon, in order that they may be properly arranged upon the tree. SunpDay Scnoon Concert.—A Sunday School Concert-will be given at the Congregational Church this evening. The exercises by the children will be very interesting, and the house will no doubt be crowded. Books FOR PRESENTS.—Geo, R.
