The"ladies of Richmond, Virginia, have organized a society, “the Hollywood Memo rial Association,” whoso object it is to res cue from oblivion^ and to protect ana adorn tho*graves of the Confederate dead, who repose ill Hollywood Cemetery- on the baUks of the James, near-Richmond. In- order to obtain the means to-accomplish this holy purpose these ladies have addressed “to tho Women of the South” an appeal for contri butions. Wo publish it; for we are .sure that, in the North, too, there are many who, boasting their kinship with.the noble dead, or anxious to "do honor to those who fought bravely and died gloriously in defense of Southern rights, will ieel that it is their right and thcir.duty to help these Virginia •women to complete tho pious labor which patriotism and honor impose upon them and upon all those who venerate the principles for which the South fought, or who respect and admire bravery aud constancy and love of country. Let it be remembered that these ladies, though their fortunes have been swept away and their homes made desolato by the ar mies of the North, though they are money less and almost helpless, come not as mendi cants begging alms.of t he North 1 Their a p- aeal is addressed to “the Women of the South,” and yet we cannot but feel that the women of the North shonld hearken to it too. They should not forget that the na tion is lavishing its wealth, wealty derived from the impoverished South, as well as from the prosperous North, in the adornment of the cemeteries in which those rest who died battling for the Union, while these poor Southern woriien must depend altogether upon the .scanty contributions of a ruined people fo;- the means wherewith even to res cue from oblivion the graves of their honor ed deSd. TQ" THE WOMEN OF THE SOUTH - The end we propose is the cause of the South. It lias neither party, nor section, nor division. The obligations of the survivors to the memory of tho martyrs oftlic war ad dress the South as one family, wherein, tho’ there he degrees of affliction and bereave ment, none are without sorrow and grief.— It is riot, however, to hearts crushed by per sonal sorrows, so much as to the gratitude cherished for. noble deeds by noble men, we appeal. With this the Southern heart throbs with one impulse, and is ready to testify its inextinguishable sympathy. It shall be ojir endeavor to rescue from the oblivion to which they^arff ^passing the graves of the great host which perished- in tho war, and sleep undistinguished in. our cemetery.

His mind was in a cPntinnal state of excitement, threatening him with paralysis of the hfhin or a total derangment of the intellectual fac- ultics.

"\Ve read in the Richmond Dispatch: The character of this biff,'a* it is under stood by the negroes themselves and the extreme Radicals,, is well illustrated By a case which lias recently occurred in West Virginia. We learn from the -Clarksburg Conservative, that in April last :i negro ap plied to the Recorder of Gilmer county, for a license to marry a whito woman, which was refused. Learning that he is made the equal of the white race by the civil rights hill, the negro lately commenced legal pro ceedings against the recorder for refusing him the license, by sending a petition to Mr. John .T. Davis, of Clarksburg, a commission er of the United States District Court, for a warrant against the recorder. Mr. Davis rclused to issue tho warrant, for the reason thatthe marriage of blacks with whites was prohibited by the laws of V. est Virginia, and therefore the recorder was guilty of violating no law, and cannpt be held liable by any process known -to tlic courts for a failure to perform his official duties; and for tlic further reason that the civil rights bill, upon which.the petition re lics', an^ by^iituc of which lie claims that tnc recorder should have issued to him-the license, can in no.wyje affect or enlarge, the powers of that officer, and authorize him to do an act which he is forbidden to do by the laws of his State, ho being a State and not a Federal officer. - y? c suppose,.(adds the Conservative,) the negro will.now have.Mr. Davis indicted by the grand jury of the Federal- court, which meets at this place in August, for not excep ting the civil rights hill and arresting the recorder of Gilmer county.
