convenience and economy of time and

THE CELEBRATION TO-DAY.
A General I'arade—.Military Movements.
Our military do honor to-day to the mem
ory of the illustrious Virginian and Ameri
can, the statesman, warrior aud gentleman,
General George Washington. Should the
weathor prove fair, and tho indications are
favorable at this writing, the display will bo
one of tbe finest witnessed in Savannah on
any 22d of February. During tbe past few
weeks tbe several companies have been pre
paring for the event, aud tbe effort will be
to get out the largest number in tbe ranks.
We are informed that tbe parade will be
general, that is the Artillery, Hussars and
Guards will unite with the First Regiment,
the brigade being under command of Col.
Olmstead.
This arrangement will afford much satis
faction, as the desire is general to see tho
entire military force in one procession. Tho
display will be far more imposing.
After a parade through the streets and a
review at the l’ark, the brigade will be dis
missed, aud tbe several companies will pro
ceed to enjoy themselves in accordance
with previous arrangements.
The Blues will entertain the Chatham Ar
tillery at their armory, at a noon collation,
aud in the evening tbeCbathams will return
th<* compliment by punching the “ Blues.”
Tho Guards will have their usual lunch,
and a grand ball at the Masonic Temple in
the evening.
The Hussars—those dashing feliows,
full of fun and frolic. Well, after
their parade and exercise—they will, oh!
You may know they will have “a good
time,” so there is no use mentioning it.
The Jasper Greens will refresh themselves
after the parade, and in the ovening will
have a delightful hop at their new armory
in Masonic Hall, corner of Bull and Brough
ton streets.
Tho Johnstons aud German Volunteers
will, of course, mark the occasion with some
conviviality.
The Cadets and Oglethorpes will fraternize
over tho flowing bowl at their armory.
Altogether the celebration promises to be
productive of much pleasure and enjoy
ment.
A Fine Enterlnliiiiirnt.
To-raorrow (Wednesday) evening Mr.
Frank Mayo appears at the Savannah
Theatre in his inimitable role of “Davy
Crockett,” tho backwoods hero. The char
acter has never been preseLted in this city
before, nor is Mr. Mayo himself well known
except by the wide-spread reputation that
his acting has created for him, but bo comes
warmly endorsed by the press of the coun
try as a perfect artist, and his “Crockett” is
described as a remarkable illustration of
pure dramatic art. The Detroit Frt e Press
says: “Mr. Mayo’s ‘Crockett’ is the crysta-
liz'ed excellence of ripe experience, of a
genius for character acting, and of either
extraordinary intuition or a consummate
knowledge of human nature. It matters
little by what process he has accomplished
his work. It speaks for itself, Lnd men and
women will continue to gaze upon this pic
ture of rare and rugged beauty with ever
growing delight and without once paus-
— ... iii.mipn nr Aflrinrr Fn Irnntr tvliat Vila
ing to inquire or caring to know what his
art is. If it were desirable to know this,
the answer might be that it consists simply
in doing what he has to do naturally, abso
lutely independent of and possibly uncon
scious of surroundings. If to bold tbe mirror
up to nature be the true office of the actor,
then Mr. Mayo lias reached 4he summit of
dramatic excellence in his portrayal of
‘Davy Crockett;’ and not all the criticism of
all tile learned critics of time past, time
present aud time to come can displace one
atom from its firm place in the structure he
has reared. It rests upon a foundation that
cannot be shaken, and its parts are joined
together with the skill and the sure eye of
the cunning builder. We hail it as an ele
vating and gentle example to hnman kind,
and salute Mr. Mayo in the profoundest ad
miration for those gifts which enable him
to present tbe example in such vivid colors.”
Mr. Mayo will appear but two nights—to
morrow’ night and Thursday night. Secure
your seats at Schreiner’s while there is time
to obtain choice ones.

Washington as a I.oiar.
May I offer you, Mr. Editor, for the col
umns of your paper on this anniversary of
Washington’s birthday, a grouping to
gether, from historic record and credible
tradition, of the youthful attachments of
our great hero, the affaires du ceasr into
which his susceptible nature led him, those
painful yet sweet harassments of soul that
female charms awoke in his heart V Can it
be, you say, that this stern and dignified
character, even in his boyish days or the
early years of manhood, gave vent to love’s
pleadings, or so much as felt its delicious
tormentiogs? Did this model youth and
gallant gentleman indulge the roman
tic dreams of youthful love, Bigh
over faces and forms that haunted his
loneliness, aud even leave on record, without
a blush for his weakness, evidences, of his
suffering. Strange, but true! This Wash
ington, cold, grave, lofty, imperturbable-
let us contemplate him In yooth, spending
no few thoughts in love’s day-dreams, and
no little time inditing verses to haughty
beauties, sighing in solitude over hopeless
love, the more hopeless because he was too
shy to *ell it, aud stifling his passion some
times with groans aud tears !
This is, indeed, the picture of his early
Most people think of him as always
life.
the staid and stiff man, a model of public and
private proprieties, settling down in life
after his colonial military service because
it was time to do so, and marrying, as a mat
ter of course, a handsome widow that he
chanced to meet, because they were both
past the age of sentiment, and because she
was rich as well as handsome. Not a bit of
it! Tbe ten busy years of his later youth
and his early manhood were varied by more
than one episode of tender sentiment, or
torturing love-sickness, or even of tumultu
ous passion.
The human heart is the same
in all breasts, whether it opens
its feelings to public gaze or hedges
itself behind cold or simulated
mauners. No slowness of perception, nor
gravity of demeanor, nor coldness of tem
per, nor sluggishness of feeling, can with
stand the tide of the “tender passion,” and
with Washington, least of all men, though
we may be surprised to kuow it, was the
rule an exception. Five sweethearts, that
we know of, iu the dozen years from b y-
hood to marriage, filled his eye and stirred
his soul. Pretty well for a young man that
wo think so unromantic. Every boy, we
take it, has a first love, generally an early
oae, aud usually an oiler one than himself.
So it was with Washington. His first boy
ish heart-wound, that seemed hardest to
heal, was inflicted by tho “Lowland Beauty,”
as he typities tbe fair maiden, whose real
name never appears iu his MSS. It was as
early as 174G, before ho was fifteen years
old, aud while he was still at school, study
ing geometry aud surveying. These dry
studies were relieved by the sweet pangs
even of a hopeless love. If he ever ven
tured to make known to herself his boyish
feelings, which his shyness makes unite
improbable, tho “Lowland Beauty” may nave
responded to his sighs and sighed iu turn;
or, more likely, if older than he, she
regarded him as a raw school boy.
and mocked his protestations aud laugh
ed at his verses. Tho latter she might]
well do, for his amorous lines make
paltry aud limping verses, abortive enough
to discourage anyone but a very youthful
lover. We cannot doubt the reality of his
passion; it lasted for years, and the pages
of his journal, while lie was residing wi»h
his brother Lawrence at Mt. Vernon, or I
was buiied in the woods around Green way
Court, reveal tbe gnef that time nor abseuce
could obliterate or conceal. In Irving’s
pages we catch a glimpse of the ssd state of
a woe-worn lover, “sighing like a furuace,”l
or “crossed in hopeless love.”
It is not an uninteresting coincidence in
the ebain of circumstances connecting the
lives of Washington and our Leo, that well-
founded tradition identifies tho “Lowland
Beamy” with the charming Lucy Gryn&es,
of Middlesex, who, five or six years after
Washington’s plaintive wooiugs, m irried her
cousin, Henry Lee, aud became tho mother
or “ Light Horse Harry,” and so the
grandmother of Robert E. Lee. They were
married December 1, 1753, and lived at Lee-
svlvania, the husband’s seat in Prince
William. Tho old feeling iu Washington’s
heart had yielded to late, but its delicacy
an I refined seutiment still remained. It hail
stifled a new interest that threatened to
grow up strongly for his second sweetheart,
and its happy memories served to win
Washington's coustaut favor, twenty years
afterwards, towards their great sou, Henry
Lee, Jr. His fondness for this young
General, I cannot be mistaken in ascribing
to tbe love and admiration be bad in
his boyish days for the mother. Recollect
Lee’s youth when the revulsion began; born
in 1750; a Captain of cavalry at twenty; at
twenty-one tbe chief of Washington’s body
guard; at twenty-two a Major under Wayne
at Stony Point, receiving for his services at
Paulus Hook the thanks of Congress and
a gold medal, a distinction that no other
officer below the rank of General received
during the war; Lieutenant Colonel at
twenty-four of a legioD, raised ex
pressly for him by advice of General
Charles Lee, aud at Washington’s per
sonal intercession to Congress; look at
his wonderful career with Greene in the
South in the next two years, and remember
that all his honors were gained when he was
just turned of twenty-five, and I think wo
need some other explanation of his good
luck than his own merits, great as they
were. This explanation 1 believe to have
been Washington’s interest in him, as tho
Ison of die “Lowland Beauty,” which
prompted him to give his meritorious young
officer every opportunity for advancement,
aud to follow him constantly with Ids
sympathy and help.
II. The next pretty face that made Wash
ington’s heart iluiter was that of Mary Cary,
of “Coleys,"’ in Elizabeth City county, near
Hampton. This affair, singular to say, fol
lowed so soon on the previous one, deep as
was its impression, as rather to be rebuked
by it; and thus the growth of a deeper
feeling was probably hindered. Miss
Cary was the sister of Mrs. George
William Fairfax, and she was
spending much of her time at Belvoir, tho
seat of the Fairfaxes, near Mount Vernon.
Young Washington was often a guest of tnis
happy homestead, and thus in tho society of
Miss Cary, the new feeling was likely quickly
to supplaut the old. I have no idea tnat he
courted Miss Cary, and his extreme youth,
for he was just turned sixteen, forbids me
to credit tbe tradition that the bash
ful lad the next vear ventured to
visit “Celeys,” and asked old Wilson
Cary for permission to address his
daughter—mind you, not “to have her,” but
for “leave to court her”—a respectful pre
caution that not many young men now-a-
days take, and was extinguished by the
sharp reply, which left nothing more to be
said: “If that is your business here, young
man, I wish you lo leave the house, for my
daughter has been used to ride iu her own
coach.” I discredit this story for another
reason; under no circumstances could such
a supercilious and shoddy speech have come
from the mouth of a Virginia gentleman of
the olden time.
The fox hunting and hard riding of Wash
ington’s rough life with old Lord Fairfax,
kept him much away from Bel\oir, and the
return of Miss Cary to the lowcouutry sepa
rated them for good. Just then our hero
went into the wilderness to survey Lord
Fairfax’s vast domain, and carried with
him in the wilds of the Shenandoah valley
tho visions of the sweet face aud bright
eyes that had enchanted him at Belvoir.
Miss Cary married Mr. Edward Ambler,
of Jamestown, a gentlemen of high position
iu the colony, and lived to see her quondam
admirer crowned with the honors of the
revolution at the conquest of York town.
A traditional anecdote relates that she was
in Williamsburg when General Washington
passed through that city at the close of the
war. As he recognized her iu the crowd,
his sword waved to her a military salute,
aud the rush of feeling was so great that she
is said to have faiuted.
HI. The third maiden, whom tradition
reports as ensnariug the heart of the sus
ceptible Washington, was Elizabeth Fauntle-
roy, of the Northern Neck on the Rappa
hannock. She was of a Huguenot family
which came to the colony before the
Datanes, the Fontaines and the Mauryg, as
we find the first of tbe family settled in tbe
Northern Neck before 1(151. Washington’s
acquaintance with her is a very obscure
tradition, tbe year even being doubtful, aud
none of the circumstances are now verifi
able. She was the first woman whoso hand
he actually asked, but she flatly rejected his
suit, and if she were ambitions, made a
great mistake iu marrying a Mr. Adams ou
James River, and thus lost the chance of
being the honored wife of the Pater Patriie.
IV. His next unsuccessful suit was for
the band of Mary Philipse, of Philipse
Manor, on tho Hudson. She was the sister
of the wife of Beverley Robinson, an early
friend of Washington, aud son of the fa
mous John Robinson, Speaker of the Virginia
House of Burgesses.
Beverly Robinson had married one of the
Philipse heiresses, and built in 1750 a fine
country sext on the Hudson named “Bever
ley,” after his mother, (one of that Virginia
family). A picture of this house and a
sketch of the Robinson family may be seen
in a recent number of Appleton's Journal.
It was here that the traitor, Arnold, had iiis
headquarters and carried on his corre
spondence with Andre. The meeting of
Col. Washington and Miss Philipse came
about in a very natural way. A military
visit to Boston was necessary to meet
Geu. Shirley, and the youflg Colonel, fresh
from the honors he’ had gained under
Braddock, set out with his aides-
de-camp, and his black servants in livery,
for that distant city. His tour was an
ovation, for his name and fame had pre
ceded him to New England. On his return
through New York, ho stopped to see his
old schoolmate, and there, as on a similar
visit to Belvoir, he saw the beautiful sister
of his hostess. Tender-hearted young man !
he could withstand Indian bullets, but not
beauty* glances, and tbe shafts of
love pierced him again through and
through. 'The story is told by Irving,
but no bargain was made. His diffidence
withheld him from so speedy a declaration
his time left him, or he failed to make
the necessary impression on the gay New
Yorker, or else in his absence his fine' figure
and bis brilliant name were effaced from
her memory by the warm attention* of his
gallant comrade on Braddock’s staff, Capt.
Roger Morris. At all events be returned to
Virginia, and never saw her again.
It was, doubtless, & bitter piece of news
to Washington, when preparing for the new
campaign in Virginia, that his fourth sweet
heart bad become Mrs. Morris ; but infi
nitely more bitter to them, was an incident in
tbe far distant future, when the great sol
dier, just twenty years later, as leader of the
American army, occupied Morris’s splendid
mansion, at Harlem, as his headquarters,
his former lady-love and her husband, his
once intimate friend, themselves fugitives
from their home, and proscribed enemies of
America.
Perhaps we ought not to be surprised
that Washington had such hard luck with
the ladies. We must not forget that he was
a bashful man, not fond of gay society, and
unused to fashionable life; not wealthy, nor
as yet connected with the ruling fam’iles in
Virginia, and had not received a college
education, or its equivalent at the English
f mblic schools. His outdoor life had
eft no leisure for the cultivation
of those winning manners that
charm women, and his modesty restrained
him from those bold demonstrations and
impetuous solicitations that take female
hearts by a coup de main. We need cot
regret his defeats; matrimony was to coiae
ami patrimony with it, to give him the neces
sary independence of the world and to crown
with the blessings of wealth a character
that needed no other auxiliary to happiness.
And this was to be with a woman infe
rior to none of his youthful loves, and to be
brought about by a similar accident to those
which bad introduced him to Miss Cary and
to Miss Philipse.
IV. She, for whom he was destined, was,
at the time he was vainly trying to woo a
bride, a happy wife and mother at tbe White
House ou tbe Pamunkey. Martha Dan-
dridge, in her seventeenth year, was married
to Daniel Parke Custis (not John, as Irving
gives the name,) and after a short married
life was left a fair, fascinating and rich
widow, in her twentv-fourth year.
Let us see how the destined couple
were brought together. The accident
of tbe Virginia Council’s failing to send
supplies for Washington’s two regiments,
which necessitated his hasty visit to Wil
liamsburg in the spring of 1758; the acci-
d» nt of his meeting an old friend, Mr. Cham-
berlayne, as he crossed the Pamunkey ferry,
acd his being detained for dinner much
against his will; and the accident of the
young widow Castis being then the guest of
tho Chamberlaynes, are all tbe circum
stances necessary to bring about a marriage
which Providence has designed. Tbe two
met. It was & case of mutual love on
sight. Perhaps tbe tradition is true that
Mrs. Custis was m face and figure a fac
simile—as a contemporary, who knew both,
says, a twin sister—of Mary Cary. If so,
the sweet memories of the old love, blended
with tbe bright attractions of tbe new, tbe
visit to Williamsburg was forgotten, tho
widow’s charms aud conversation prolonged
tbe dinner into the afternoon, and so
the night coming on, he made a willing
virtue of necessity and stayed.
Not till late the next day did he quit tho
hospitable mansion; but ere be left, as if
remembering his experience with the maiden
of Philipse manor, he bad pressed his suit
so successfully that they had plighted mu
tual vows, the marriage to take place on his
return from the Fori Duquesno expedition.
TLey were separated till near the close of
the year. In its last weeks the preparations
wore made, and the grand pageant which
tilled St. Peter’s Church, in New Kent, on
tbe Ctb of Jauuary, 1759, came to grace the
bridal train of George Washington and
Martha Dandridge Custis.
An elaborate painting of the raarriago
scene still hangs iu one of the old mansious
of Virginia, aud I will close this already
long article with tho following description
of it. by & more eloquent pen than mine:
“Tbe sceue is laid iu the ancient parish-
church of 8t. Peter’s, county of New Kent,
colony of Virginia, time Gth of January.
1759.
“In the foreground, and near the altar,
appears the Rev. Dr. Mossom, the officiating
clergymau, in fall canonicals; he is about
to present the marriage ring. The bride
groom is iu a suit of blue and silver, lined
with red silk, embroidered waistcoat, small
clothes, gold shoe and knee buckles, dress-
sword, hair iu full powder; the bride iu a
suit of white satm, rich point-lace ruffles,
pearl ornamouts in her hair, pearl necklace,
ear-rings aud bracelets, white satin high
heeled shoes, with diamond buckles. She
is attended by a group of ladies in the
gorgeous costumes of that ancient period.
Near to the bridegroom is a brilliant group,
comprising the viceregal Governor of Vir
ginia, several English army and navy
officers, then in colonial service, with the
very elite of Virgiuia chivalry of the old
\regimeThe Governor is in a suit of scarlet,
embroidered with gold, with bag-wig and
sword—tho gentlemen in the fashion of the
Itirae.
“But amoflg the most interesting and
picturesque of tho personages in the various
groups is Bishop, the celebrated body ser-
vaut of Braddock, and then Washington,
with whom be ended bis days, after service
of more than forty years. This veteran sol
dier of the wars o*f Geonre II. firms a proper
study in the picture. His tall, attenuated
form and soldierly bearing, as with folded
arms aud cocked hat in hand respectfully,
he has approached the bridal group, give a
touching interest to tbe whole scene. He
is in a scarlet coat, aud is booted aq»l
spurred, having just dismounted and relin
quished the favorite charger of his chief to
a groom.
“Through the large foldiDg-doors of the
church is seen the old-fashioned coach of
the bride, drawn by six horses; also, the
fine English charger bequeathed to Wash
ington by Braddock after the fatal field of
the Monongahela. From the account of the
marriage, handed down from those who
were present at its celebration, it appears
that the bride and her ladies occupied the
coach; while the provincial colonel rode his
spirited charger, attended by a splendid
cortege of the gay aud gallant of the laud.
iSach was Washington’s marriage in 1759.”
A loving and happy marriage such as
these gay scenes witnessed, lacking but
three weeks of forty-one years, based on
high esteem and supreme affection, marred
by no disputes, grave or trivial, and undis
turbed even by one modern cutse—incom
patibility of temper—is not so frequent in
Ithese days that wo may not stop to admire
it. Their faithful affection, loving concord
and mutual happiness attest that these two
jhearts were eacn the other’s true mate, and
that this marriage, if any ever was, was
made iu Heaven. * W. S. B.
Enilies Insulted in Fornyth Park.
Yesterday evening, about six o’clock, a
scene occurred in Forsyth Park, which, bnt
for the prompt appearance of the policeman
on duty there, would, in all probability,
have resulted in the serious discomfiturs of
au impertinent individual. Tbe affair was
the occasion of considerable indignation and
excitement. It appears that several young
ladies, daughters of well known citizens,
were standing around tbe fountain, engaged
in mirthful conversation, when & young
man named Simpson, a drummer from a
Philadelphia house, in company with a fel-
traveler, appproached them. It is
low
stated that ho had been following them
~~ I the park previously. On reaching
]the young ladies Simpson spoke to them in
a careless manner, and attempted familiarity
with one of them by touching her on the
arm or shoulder. The ladies moved off iu
much indignation, when he edged towards
them. Fortunately at this moment one of
ihe young ladies espied her brother with
some friends, and hastening towards him
apprized him of tho occurrence. Simpson’s
companion offered no insult, and had no
further connection with the affair than to
beiu that individual’s company. The brother
of the lady at once approachod Simpson
and iuquired what he meant by insulting
laaies. Simpson replied that ho had not
done so, when the young man, with au
■■phatic epithet, let his dexter arm loose,
l the “commercial traveler” went to
grass. Before the incensed brother conld
repeat the blow the policeman appeared and
arrested them both. They were carried to
the barracks aud gave bonds foi tbeir
appearance at the Police Court this morn-
American Wrecking Vewrl at Nassau.
The Nassau Herald of the 16th instant has
the following:
“The American wrecking jteamer ‘B A J.
Baker,’ O. L. D. Baker commander, arrived
in our harbor yesterday from Key West,
and has, we bear, gone to render assistance
to the wrecked steamer ‘City of Galveston.
“We should like to know by authority of
what act of Assembly any American vessel
can come into Bahamian* waters and act a
salvor of wrecked property V We must be
very zealous in protecting our rights, for we
think it is about time that some immediate
action should be taken to stop this or any
other encroachment on our wrecking privi
leges.
“There seems to be a certain clique of per
sons in this country who do just as they
please, in defiance of all laws and everything
else; as long as they get their ends served,
they don’t care who sinks or who swims,
and unless some cheek is at once put on
them, they will become too great a power in
the land.
“If an American vessel ig once allowed to
come here salving wrecked property, it will
establish a precedent, and then good-bye to
Bahamian vessels.
“Does any one suppose for a moment,
that any British vessel would be allowed to
go wrecking on the American coast ? Then
why allow American vessels to come on our
cost.
“Action in this matter at once is eminently
necessary.”

Savannah Christian Association.
The regular monthly meeting of the Sa
vannah Christian Association was held at
their rooms last evening. The attendance
was quite large, and the occasion was ren
dered very interesting by an eloauent and-
instructive essay, read by Rev. Dr. E. H
Myers, on tbe “Destiny and Dignity of
Man.”
The essay was listened to with marked
attention, and received the warm approba
tion of the andience.
The rooms of this useful association are
opened nightly, and are supplied with a fair
library and a large selection of periodical
literature. Strangers and visitors are warm
ly welcomed, and tbe public are cordially
invited to call and spend a pleasant evening.
A number of ladies were present, and the
meeting was considered the most successful
that has been held in a long time. Several
new members were elected and some appli
cations were read.

Frequent and heavy let Mow the north wind,
A fruitful year we are then sure to find ;
Or, if not in February the north wind blow,
Look for it iu April, with bleakness and snow,
The cat that in February
Basks in the sun,
Will seek comfort nnder the stove
Before March is done.
When Spring loans February sun,
Courting him witli genial acts.
Many colu and frosty nights
Lfthe usury Spring exacts.
A warm February wilhbring
A damp, and cold, and tardy Spring.
Much mist and fog in Febuar'
Brings much rain throughout the year.
On a Serenading Tour.
The society of 8t.Vincent de Paul, beaded
by the Hibernian Brass Band, were out on a
serenading tour last night. They first pro
ceeded to the residence of their worthy
President, Mr. Joseph Copps, who was mar
ried last week. After a few tunes by the
band the society were invited by Mr. Copps
to enter and partake of bis hospitality. A
pleasant half hour was greatly eDioyed, and
the society retired, and then reforming on
the street proceeded to serenade a few more
members who have recently entered the
matrimonial ranks.

A Sug|MtiM ta the Nervous.
Robust people, who have, ail their lives, eaten,
digested and slept weit, can scarcely be expected
to appreciate the blessing of strong nerves as well
as those who, having undergone all the misery
entailed by weak oues, have eventually regained
their nerve power. In order to experience the
unspeakable relief of a change from an enfeebled
and unrestful to a vigorous and tranquil condition
of tbe nervous system, the nervous invalid should
try a course of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.
Under the bracing and soothing influence of that
benign tonic aud nervine, appetite returns, diges
tion becomes complete and painless, and steep
revisits weary eyes. The causes of nervous weak
ness are to be found in imperfect digestion and
assimilation, and the feeble performance of other
