Revolutionary Soldiers.—A writer in the Hampshire Gazette, gives an account of the celebration of the 4th of July, at Goshen, Mass. A procession, composed mostly of veterans of the revolution; marched from the public house to the meeting-house, where an address was delivered and religious services performed. After dinner, the revolutionary soldiers paraded, answered to their names, and marched, (or rather hobbled,) commanded by one of their number, Col. P. Bryant of Chesterfield. The sight of these "stragglers of another age" was calculated to inspire reverence for them, and a resolution to endeavor to preserve, unimpaired, the liberty and the institutions they have handed down to us.
