The Birthplace of Patrick.
The recent celebration of the anniversary
of the death of St. Patrick, 1 as revived
discussion in regard to his birthplace,
which has never been entirely settled, with
many, in a satisfactory manner. We, there
fore, in compliance with request, give space
to the following communication:
Editor Morning News :
Allow me a short space in your columns
:or a few words concerning the whereabouts
of St. Patrick’s birthplace. Why so much
uncertainty should be cast upon the place of
his birth I cannot comprehend. It is gen
erally allowed that St. Patrick was born
either iu Scotland or in Franco. But from
one lact alone it appears exceedingly proba
ble that be was a native of the former coun
try. In his confesaiou he states that he was
captured and brought to Ireland with
many thousands of men. Now, as
some one ingeniously suggests, if we
recollect how small and inoouimodtous the
vessels of that age were we cannot suppose
it probable that if these many thousands rf
of his countrymen had been captured in
France, the pirates should have ebesea to
carry their cumbrous freight by so long and
circuitous a voyage as to the north cf Ire
land ; but to no place were they more likely
to have carried them than to the north of
Ii eland, if thev had captured them iu Scot
land. This supposition also strengthens
the historian Schommaun in his statement
that Patrick, a Britain by nation, Succath
by paternal name, was born in the city
Nem bur, now Kirkpatrick, between Dum
barton aid Glasgow, on the bauks of the
Clyde, “if this fie a corrept conclusion,”
says a Bishop ot the Church of Ragland,
“there wjuld be a pleasing interest m the
reflection that Scotland, which afterwards
received 60 much of Christian illumination
from Ireland, aud even received its name
Scotland trom that island, should have
given St. Patrick—the Apostle of Ireland
to that country.” u

31 rs. Priscilla l ooper Goodwyn.
Editor Mominq Aeics:
Readings which are uttered orally,
histrionic representations which also give
to the ear what has often been subjected
to the criticism of the eye and the under
standing, often give a more lucid under
standing of the text of tho author. A poor
reader, a poor actor is pot a faithful
translator of the full meauiug of a writer.
A Cook, a Kean, a Booth, a Cooper, were
our predecessors, interpreters of the divine
inspirations of Shakespeare, as a Forrest, a
Maoready, fend a J3ooth, the son of a glori
ous dramatic sire, have b»>on for njoro recent
days the ministers and interpreters of the
drama. If, then, any aspirant for reading
honors and interpretations comes before us,
we must judge him or her by his or her
real merits. Mrs. Priscilla Cooper Good
wyn has been tested before a Savannah
audience, and has borne off the palm of
almost unanimous approbation. I believe,
Mr. Editor, in the law of heredity, i. e.
blood. It does not always vindicate itself,
but the presumption of regular descent of
good or bad qualities is often fulfilled. Mrs.
Goodwvn is uo sjranger amongst us At a
former*visit to Savannah jhc proved herself
a wortbv scion of two families of taleui and
genius. * The verdici in her favor was uuan-

Discovery of a Body-Probab e Murder.
Souxo boys playing in Lamar’s field south of
Wetter’s Press yesterday afternoon, discov
ered a common traveling trunk buried Lot
very deep, with its cover partly broken in.
Their curiosity having been excited they
looked into it and discovered a human body.
They at once informed the police, who
notified the Coroner. Dr. Knorr immediately
repaired to the place and had the trunk dis
interred. Upon opening and emptying the
trunk the nearly entirely decomposed body
of a colored child of about teu or twelve
Tears, that judging from the position of
the le-s must have been tightly packed, fell
out The body presented a horrid spec
tacle No marks whereby the body could
be identified could bo discovered neither on
the trunk nor on the body. The jury re
turned therefore, the verdict of death from
unknown causes of a colored child unknown.
The supposition is that the child died a
violent death and was cceretly buried to
prevent suspicion.
A Defaulter Nominated by llie Preaident.
The uomination of James Atkins, of Sa

this fact to the Senate Committee is the

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
It is known, says the Xeics and Courier,
that the fire originated in the store occu-
E icd by A. J. Greeber, but from what cause
aa not yet been determined. It was ru
mored on the streets that it was the work of
an incendiary, and some persons seemed to
suspect Greeber himself. He was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Lieut. Shrewsbury,
of toe detective force, and lodged in the
office to await an enaminatiou. Greeber
stated that the first intimation lie had of the
fire was upon awaking about half past three
o’clock aud finding the place tilled with
smoke. He says he retired about twelve
o'clock on Suuday night, and that he had do
fire on the premises. His stock of goods
consisted of dry goods, clothing, shoes, and
leaf tobacco, and was insured for $1,200, as
will be seen by the statement given above.
HELP.
Not less than two hundred families are
thrown out fionjejess by the fire, many of
them in a destitute condition, and there is
ised for prompt and generous help. A gen
erous merchant heads the list with $500,
md other contributions will doubtless come
In. The Masonic Lodges are doing their
duty, as they always do, to their brethren
in distress. Before 12 o’clock’ yesterday
most of the Masons who were burnt out had
received remittances from their lodges.
I COMMUNICATED.)
I’-tpnlicDt Without Suffcrlogr.
In a recent issue of tne News appeared
the report of an essay urging the adoption
of crimson colors by Irish nationalists in
the stead of tb«, old historic green. The
arguments advanced seem flimsy, very
flimsy, and will fail to convince any practi
cal nationalist of the desirability of such
chauge. The most prominent reason given
is the fact of repeated defeats having been
endured by the Irish under the green ban
ner, and for that reason solely the author of
the essay iu question demands that the
green be discarded. The advancement of
any such argument tends to prove the pos
session of a despairing spirit not Irish, since
tho Irish heart despaireth never, but confi
dent in the justice of the cause, knows that
victory must ultimately perch upon the
grgeu; unceasing effort must attain success.
There is a certain amount of sentimentality
in tbe feeling with which we regard the
green nag, the flag of Clontarf and
of Benburb; but so there is in
the hearts of all men of all nationalities to
wards their countries' insigns, and it will
Lot do to denounce the feeling as one purely
of mawkish sentiment. This unhappy
;easoner demanding that the green flag be
discarded because of its defeats, should, to
be consistent, demand also that the princi
ples it represents should be repressed be
cause they, too, have known little save de
feat as yet; he should insist that Ireland
drop the profession of the true faith, be
cause her clingiDg to it through we trv cen
turies has apparently given her naught but
suffering; her children onl> persecutions
and martyrdoms; be should declare that
the Crusaders, of whom he talks so much,
failed ultimately to hold possession Of the
Holy Land, because they clung to the banner
of the cross under which they had for long,
long ye&kS ensured defeat. Had they
dropped this sacred standard, qoes he say
their success would have been assured ?
This is his reasoning.* Forsake our banner
because of its defeats ? Ohsir, never!
never 1 never I We love the green
because, if its defeats have been disastrous,
its victories have been more than glorious;
because it is emblematic of the hope that
springs eternal in the Irish heart; because
ft* briDgs to memory ibfS'fresh beauty of the
laud “where the beautiful rivers How ;’’ be
cause it is rich in memories of M&l&chi aud
Brian Boroihme, of Hugh O’Neill and Pat
rick Sarsfield, of Emmett and of Tone and
their fellows, and fiually because it ia “the
green,” our oxen “beloved green.” Shrewd
er arguments must be found to warrant
these treasons agaiust the green banner.

upon—
First. The simultaneous observations as
telegraphed from one hundred and thirty-
four stations and charted threo times a day
at this office for study, and the preparation
of the published weather predictions.
Second. The reports of means and ab
stracts from four hundred aud forty-two
stations, which are classified as Canadian,
naval hospitals, array post surgeons, civilian
volunteers, marine records, and those 9l the
United States Signal Service.
Third. Manuscript and printed documents
and reliable newspaper reports.
The principal features of tho weather for
the month have been: First, the average
northerly cjurses of the areas of low ba
rometer aud the formation of barometric
.troughs aud ridges; second, the high ba
rometer in the Southern States; third, tho
high temperature in all districts except the
extreme Northern stations; fourth, the ales
of February 1, z and £», aud the tornadoes

TEMPERATURE OF .THE AIF-.
I The editor of the Trey. New York. North-
l em E icgtt wa? in Savannah lately, and er-
his view? of matters and things in a
lengthy letter, from which we give some
extracts of interest. Our Northern friend
gets his hiatorica! frets rather mixed, and
mikes some rather ludicrous blunders. His
information in regard to the “nameless
mouumenf* is as erroneous as are his asser
tions that General Greene was killed in the
defense of Savannah October 9. 1779, and
that he was a Massachusetts man. The
Greene monument was completed
some time in 1840, about twenty years
prior to tLe “era of bad feeling.” Tbe
reason that no inscription has been placed
upon the monument has been repeatedly
stated, aud the editor of the Budget could
have obtained it had he made the effort.
We can assuro him, however, that “the
a^gu'arities and sectional animosities” had
nothing whatever to do with It. The
following are some of the extracts from
bis letter:
The general distribution of the tempera
ture of the air is shown by the isothermal
lines upon Chart No. 2. The average tf -
perature has beeu above its normal value,
except for stations in the extreme northern
part of Minnesota aud the St. Lawrenco val
ley. A tendency has beeu appart nt duriDg the
month to the formation of an area of cold
northeast winds at our northern stations,
simultaneously with the prevalence ot warm
southerly winds at stations south of tho
Lake region, the dividing belt passing gen
erally eastward from Iowa to New York and
Pennsylvania.

THE NAMELESS MONUMENT.
Iu the square facing our good hotel, tho
Pulaski House, is a ta'l monument built of
white stone (granite or marble blocks—
which the c)e f-iils to discover), but there is
on it uo inscription that tells iu whose honor
the tall shaft was pointed heavenwards. I
am told it was reared in honor of General
Nathaniel Greene, who fell her** in defence
of Savauuah, October 9, 1779. He was, if I
remember, a Massachusetts man. It is said
when this monument was first commenced
there was good feeling between the North
a d the South, but wbe 1 completed the era
of bad leeiiug bad begun, which finally,
after years of wrangling between the sec
tions, culminated ia tho war of the rebellion.
It is said that the f:.ct that this monument is
nameless, bearing no inscription tolling in
whoso memory i was raised, grew out
of the angularities and sectional aui-
mosities just having their birth when
the construe ion of '.he monument was
completed. Now that the c-ra of bolter feel
ing is slowly bu‘ surely displacing the ani
mosities of the put, we rise to make a
motion that the Centennial y 5 ar shall not
close without tha: ...onument bearing au
inscription coinut . •rative of tho noble
hero who laid dowr his iife gallantly in de
fense oi JSavaun* ... The heroes of the
revolution aro not the mere property of
liAssachusetts or anv her locality. They
and the memories c: their illustrious lives
are the he r.tageof the nation. If Savant.ah
is unwilling, or is tc; poor, to inscribe that
monument wi h fitting devices aud legends
in commemoration ot the Massachusetts
revolutionary hero i. whose honor.it was
originally reared, tho North, if Savannah
will permit it, will sec to it that the Centen
nial year does not close on that monument
unconsecrated bv inscription or legend
showing for whom it was raised.
THE PULASKI MONUMENT,
erected iu honor of Count Pulaski, the heroic
Pole who fell in the defense of Savannah,
October 9, 1779, which occupies another
I square in the city, is a much mure beautiful
monument, and is appropriateiy adorned
with symbolical device’s and inscriptions.
Shall the monument to the foreign heio
bear its inscription while that erected to tbe
American is left but a nameless p le of
stones V What says Savannah ? And while
I think of it let mo say that I have during
tbe three winters that I have stopped in
Savannah iu paasiug South, found uo local
ity where the inhabitants were less disposed
than thoso of this city to rake up the dead
ashes, and fires and memories of the era of
the war of the rebellion. Nowhere in the
S-juth is there a more hospitable aud kindly
people, or a population that treats North
erners in a more friendly manner. Aud a
hopeful sign hero is that politics are not
tbe main business of life, or indeed any kind
jf business here. Good for Savannah.

As our fire bell is about being placed in

our respected fello-v townsman, M&rm&duke
Hamilton, Esq., who was Chairman of the
Fire Committee, and was instrumental in
having this bell purchased. The bell in
Augusta is called “Big Steve” after a for
