The flection of City Officers took place on Mondsv last and, as might be expected, the jreliminnry moveroent.bnve excited much interest. In the several wards conventions had been held to nominate Aldermen and Common Councilmcn, and Ward Officers. Among the nominees arc several who did not favor the acceptance of the act for the ! incorporation of the City. To have excluded all such would have been neither proper nor politic. Many, who acted under an honest judgment in voting against the acceptance of I the act, now that it is accepted are willing to go fairly and heartily for the proper ad- ' ministration of city affair Unquestionably, a decided majority of the City Council should be men, who, while they do not lack in the other good qualities requisite for their re spective offices, have l wen so decided arid ear nest for the city organization, that they will be hearty and willing to work in its service. There will be much to be dono to set matters well a-going, especially for the first year or i.o, and the two boards of which the City Council is composed should !e so made up that, either tcparately or in convention, the members will act with a reasonable degree of harmony, and especially that they shall not be exposed to dead-locks. Though for a long period there lias lieen a strong preponderance in town on one side, so far apolitical ijue.tion jarc concerted ,it has not been the practice to exclude wholly men oliticaIIy in the minority, from town offices. A continuance of the former usage is found in this instance. The 31 ii) or mid Recorder. No . nominations were made in con vention for the important City officers the Mayor and Recorder All imistconcedc that the Mayor should be a man of integrity and good sense, conciliating and gentlemanly in his intercourse with all men, having it hearty belief m the benefits to How from the estab lishment of the city organization,!! willing and able to devote time and cm re to whatever will promote the prosperity of its pcojile. Albert I.. Catli.n Esq. is the one to whom the thoughts of many at once tamed a the man to It- elected aw Mayor. An address was made to him from citizens requesting Mm to assent to a i nation and his attest was. given. A nom ination of Carolus Noyce. Esq., for Mayor was m.ide in the North Ward, and ho gave his assent thereto. The ItBCOKnEK.whilc he has all the oners of an ordinary Justice of the Peace, has a wider scope for his office from hii fjtcial re lations to the City ordinances and to criminal matters within the city bouigr. It is im portant in the highest degreer.at the office should lie held by an extiericnced and able lawyer, h man methodical in the conduct of all business brought before him, a roan of promptness and decision, one who can speed ily determine what the law is. and who is fearless to decide accordingly. Several per sons were mentioned in connection with . this office, viz : E. K. Hard, L. 11. Englesby, Lyinan Cummings, J. R. Hollcnbeck. John B. Wlicclcr,Mr.EigIesby dcclincd.positirtly. being a candidate. The canvass was a very spirited one more so, it is said than 1ms been in town for many years. Though there were some split on the tickets for Aldermen and Common Councilmcn, as publicly nominated, the chief interest was concentrated on the elec tion ol Mayor. All sorts of wild opinions were afloat as to what would 1 the conse quence of electing this or that man. We have no doubt that the election of Mr. Cat lin will prove to be highly satisfactory to t he great body of the people. We quote the votes in detail. For Mator. many nooi- Aldirken. North Ward. L.

I trmt that every gentleman who has a seat in thi" Council, will devote his time and best en"-gws to the welfare of the new City. There is much work to be done and it can only bed'meby strict attention to our duties. One matter especially tSouIJ early come be fore yoc. I refer to the adoption of a suitable code of By-laws fet the City; which will require the utmost care it its preparation. In our cor porate capacity, we can do much to bring Bur lington more prominently before the business world, and I trust that when the City has been administered by you as I am confident it will lie, for the best intereets of our citizens, every one will accord to us that the condition of our plaee has been improved by the workings of the new organization. I have no doubt that taxation will temporarily increase, yet if Burlington contin ues to improve as she his in the fo put years, there will be soon a less per cenlage of taxes. I earnestly hope for no extraordinry expenditure, but trust that what is expended will be done with prulenee and economy.

Our readers will notice tl letter to ilr. Catlin, formally requesting him to be can didate for the oSee of Mayor, and Mr. Cat- lin'ri very proper answer of assent. The list of those who addressed Mr. Catlin comprises men of diBerent views, antecedent to the ac cepts nee of the City Charter on the ques tion of KC'tptance.uf diferent political parties and from all the ward. The list could easily have bad ten times as many names on it. if there had been time to ak for them, or if it bad been thought neceisary to get more. We need not add any thing to what we have said before on the subject of the .Mayor. The ease is very plainly before the voters. We are con fident Mr. Catlin will be elected by a very liberal majority. The Old I'lng on Fort Sumter. On the 14th of April, 1 SGI, not quite four years ago, the Stars and Stripes, hav ing been nobly upheld by Anderson and hie little patriot band against an overpowering bombardment by the rebels for two days, wai by capitulation hauled down by the gam son. saluted by its gallant defenders', and borne away in safety, and the rebel flag was by traitorous hands hoisted in its place Great was the rejoicing in rebetdora deer the emotion with which the news of that event was received by every patriot in our country. Millions of voices united in a sol- cmn vow that, God willing, the day should ogam come when the glorious Union llag symbol of light, ubertt and unitt should again float ss proudly as ever over Fort Sum. ter. For sometime po-t, it has been apparent that the day for that return of the old flag to its place was nigh at hand. Still it was impossible to read, as we did on Tuesday of he fact.witbout being deeply moved. Thaoks be to God. who lias brought the nation so far on its way through rivers ol blood and fire to its former position of rightful and honorable supremacy over the length and breadth of our broad and goodly land. May His good Providence continue to watch ovc and aid the national cause. We must vet look for more and severe fighting.

I am not oce of those who arc dispored to 'hinV thai her Majesty's government have departed from thit neutrality jrhi-h they express them selves am iocs ta maintain. But I confess I look with prent anxiety at the appearance of eotre symptoms which seeiu to show that that neutrality has not been accepted by that party to which we have been mini bvorahle, with that gobd-will and gratitude to which I think it was Curly entitled.

(Hear, hear.) Of these two nwasum it is iaporsible not to see that they are both of them framed in a spirit of hostility to this country. line of them lays open questions of a must deu ciite ami difficult character. The American people are themselves Menac ing great commercial advantages by abandoehi the reciprocity treaty, and the ooly ground of their doing o i that Canada -e:etves eunal ad vantages. The wily reseit will be. that the whole complicated question of the fisheries of North America, in which no doubt the failed States are materially interested, will be again thrown open. My lords, I am old enoujh to rememlr tbe serious ooapucatioos and difficulties which were on the point of arising between this country and the United States in connection with these nsbenes. and yet, without tbe slightest reaon or provocation, that qoeeliou is now reopened, with all the risks and dangers of a war with this conn try. than which no war could be more de plorable. (Hear, hear.) It is not a little sicnincaat thai the time when the abrogation of this treaty was resolved upon, saotasr treaty notice lays open xtl those points of danger and dtaVuhy connected with the lakes. For a long period these lake have erv en 4 tbe means sf peaceful ukI profitable com- I merce between the countries lying on either side of them. I can recollect the late American war, when there was a race in shipbuilding on those hkes. and the party which obtained a temnora- I rv superiority nined with it the cvmnletr n.n. ttol of the lakes. That was put an end to by an agreement which led to s state of perfect neutrality; and now the American government, without tbe slightest provocation, proposes to break through the treaty, and talks of sending a force upon the lakes, which must make it necrs- sara tor this country to nuke corresfxxsJtne nrr- mrarmns in the face of uamWiace danger of I Ooa t ask her majesty 3 government what steps they have taken, but I do say thi". that taey will ne deeply responsible if they are not fully awake to tne position in which this coun try is placed by these two acts of the govern meat ef the l'n ted Stale-.

Columbia, the capital of Auth Carolina, is situated on tbe left (or east) bank of the Congaree River, immediately Mow tho con fluence of Saluda and Broad.

Unrein'- Arenant ef the Trace rnufeteare. 1 From the Richmond Sentinel, Feb. 17.1 The statement of President LineolB, of his connection with the late negotiation", reflects a deeper discredit upon him than the report of our comoussiocera u confesses that the inter view which he took so much pains to invite, he afterward took eijual pain to obstruct, and to render abortive, m if Yankee perfidy .worse than Pome faith, mu-t be displayed on this as upon every other possible occasion. That the meet ing was held at all, is doe only to accident and Gen. Grant. It is a serious inquiry whether Mr. Lincoln, when he dispatched Mr. Blah- to the confederate capital, intended tbe role which he has since played. We scarcely suppose be did.
