MERCHANTS WHO DESIRE TO REACH FAMILIES WILL 'FIND IT A MOST VALUABLE MEDIUM. FALSEHOOD. Some time ago we wrote an avticle on this subject, in the course of which we took occasion to refer to it as graph ically set forth by one Jack Falstaff (so called), in his celebrated expression, “How this world is given to lying 1” and we extended our remarks further so as to cover another portion of the same ground, viz.: “How this world is given to believing lies 1" This corol lary is, perhaps, more to be regretted than the original premise ; because if people would not believe falsehoods, there would soon be an end to them. “Othello's occupation” would be “gone,” and “Truth,” which is said to be so “mighty,” would undoubtedly “prevail.” This, however, would be a beginning of the millenium ; and the progress of the world in error and wickedness gives no evidence of the early approach of that happy state of human existence. We are led to these reflections by the following extract from a telegraphic dis patch to the St. Louis (Mo.) Democrat, dated “Nashville, May ‘2d, via Macon, Ca., May Ist “The white people at Augusta, ns well ns at other points South, having recently made great parade in decorating the graves of rebel dead with flowers, while the graves of Union soldiers were passed coldly by, the colored people at Augusta determined yes terday to repair the omission, and accord ingly they assembled at one of their school houses near the Cemetery with flowers, wreaths and banners. Their teachers, white and black, accompanied them, and in peace ful procession they marched to deposit their offerings upon tlio graves of the National dead. A more touching spectacle, and ouo which will appeal more forcibly to any human heart, was seldom scon ; but, incred ible to toll, the procession was met at Gate’s Cemetery by the Mayor of tho city and a strong force of policemen, and de spite the remonstrances of Captain Bryant, the entreaties of the teachers and tears of the poor negroes, it was sternly refused ad mission. To the credit of General Bran nan, commanding the Department, and of General Tillson, both, when called upon by the Mayor of the city asking them to inter fere and prevent tho proposed demonstra tion, declined to do so. The rebels say that both expressod themselves as opposed to it, but this I cannot believe. Thus does tho malignant spirit of treason, represented by the city officials of Augusta, prevent the poor negroes from strewing flowers upon tho graves of Union soldiers.” We do not know who the author of this falsehood is, uor do we care to know ; suffice it to say that he is the paid hireling of [the Radical press of the North, and one of whose duties is, to misrepresent the Sonth and her people to publish lies wherever and whenever they are needed, in order to bolster up and give some coloring of justification to the wicked policy of the disunion tyrants, who have enthroned themselves at Washington in opposition to the Gov ernment, to the Union, and to every principle of Republicanism. This is the object, and what is the result ? Why, simple-minded people, good intentioned people, honest people, do not see or un derstand the object; they only ask themselves, is it possible that any writi r living in the South would dare to make such statements public if they were not true, and, without stopping to think for a moment of the protection which sur rounds these whelps, and that the papers which publish their falsehoods never publish the refutation of them, they swallow the lies, and wonder at the forbearance of the Government towards us misguided and incorrigible “Rebels.” The statement of the Democrats' cor respondent which we publish above, is, as we have already said, a misrepresen tation of the occurrence which it has reference to, and, therefore, a gross falsehood, or rather to write it in plain English, a wicked lie. The editor of the Chronicle & Sentinel, a soldier and a gentleman—-who was present at the Cemetery, furnished in his journal of the the following day, a statement of what transpired there, and this statement we subjoin: As Unpleasant Incident.— -Our com munity wore considerably excited yesterday afternoon by the rumors which were in cir culation of an apprehended difficulty at the City Cemetery, between the city authorities and a portion of the black poople, headed by Capt. Bryant, a Mr. Eberhart and some other white people (not citizens), who had gone there with a view to decorate tho graves of some Federal soldiers (white), who are there interred. The facts as far as wo have been able to obtain them are as fol lows : A number of negroes of both sexes, and of all ages, under the instigation ami by the advice of the white men beforemen tioned and some others connected with the colored schools, bed been induced to collect in a considerate body to repair to the Cemetery, with flowers to pay honors to the Federal (white) dead, there buried. This intention on tho part of Capt. Bryant nnd his coadjutors coming to tho ear of tho city authorities (unofficially), tho Mayor with some of our most prominont and conserva tive citizens called on Gen. Brannan, the efficient and polite coininandor of tho de partment, and laid before him tho informa tion which they had received. We learn that tho General expressod his disapproba tion of the contemplated movement in the strongest terms, and assured the Mayor of his sympathy with him and the people of the city at this most impanelled procedure, but said that ho hud no power to forcibly inter fere in the movement, unless violence was threatened or commenced. That he believed the movement could only ho productive of harm, and tliut what influenco he possessed would be exerted to prevent the display. Tho Mayor then called in company with tho other gentlemen upon Gen. Tillson, and mode a similar statement to him. lie in formed Gen. T. that no application hail been mado to him or to any of tho city officials for permission to uso the oemetcry for this celebration, and that as tho Chief Execu tive officer of the city, he should interpose tho power of the city to prevent a consum mation of the proposed ceremonials. Gen. T. we are informed assured the Mayor that ho was totally opposed to the whole move ment, and that in his opinion it could only lead to nn estrangement of the two races, and doubtless would arouse and excite bitter feelings against the blacks. He also in formed tho Mayor that ho had no power to prohibit tho contemplated movement, and no forco at his disposal, if ho hud the power. The Mayor then ordered a strong force cl the city police on duty at the Cemetery with orders to prevent the entrance of tho crowd if it should attempt to do so. About four o’clock or a little after a largo crowd of negroes, of all ages, colors and sexes bad assembled at tho nogro school houso near the Northern corner of the Cemetery, with great quantities of flowers, wreaths, banners, etc. A Mr. Eberhart, who seemed to be a leader and spokesman for the colored people, called upon the Mayor and the other officials who bad repaired to the Cemetery, and after a brief conference it was agreed that those negroes who had brought flowers and none others, would be permitted to enter at he lower gate (the one nearest the gravos of the Federal soldiors) and deposite their flowers, or make such disposition of them as they saw fit, and that no other negroes would be permitted to enter the gates. This arrangement seemed satisfactory to Mr. Eberhart,'who proceeded to report the propo sition of the Mayor to the negroes. One of tho members of Council (Mr. Bothwell, wo believe), and two of our most esteemed a'd rospcctablo citizens —J. M. Newby, Esq. and Gon. Geo. W. Evans—proceeded also to the school house and gave the colored peo ple their advice and counsel, which seemed 1 1 be well taken. Indeed, quite a number of the most intclligcnt confessed that they had gone into the movement under the advice of others, and that they were not aware that it was offensive to our citizens, or they would never have given their countenance to it. They seemed pleased with tho manner of these gentlemen towards them, and the kindly way in which their advice was given, and cordially consented to abandon any further attempt to carry out their plans. The Mayor directed tho lower gate opened for the admission of thoso who had flowers, when the negroes all rushed to the gate for admittance. The officer in charge had them promptly closed. Some parlying lie re en sued, iu whioh the Mayor and Capt. Bryant" took the most prominent part, the latter ii sisting that all the negroes should be ad mitted and the Mayor resolutely refusing. There were several white women in the crowd of negroos, and to them tho Mayor said, “Your can come in, ladies—there is no objection to your entering, and you can havo as many of the colored people to ac company you as you wish to carry your baskets, flowers and wreaths.” But one of the white women availed themselves of the invitation, when the gate was closed and the negroes dispersed, and the affair ended. We" may here add, as an act of jus. tice to Bryant, that in a communication to the Chronicle dr Sentinel, he denied having had anything to do, directly or indirectly, with prompting any colored persons to take part in the ceremonies referred to. But it is of no consequence who prompted it. The act of the Mayor was sanctioned by the whole commu nity, and was not disapproved of by the Military ruthorities. The Cemetery where the proposed ceremony was to take place is lor white people alone. That for the negroes is taken care of by the City, and, there they have all the privileges which they can wish for or claim ; but the white Cemetery, as wo have said, is for the white people alone ; and it is entirely competent for the authorities to admit or reject whom they please to or from it. It was only this right that they ex ercised ; and there was no intention toin s ult the memory of the Union soldiers who lie buried there. These soldiers died and were interred in the Cemetery, at a time when war was ragiug and they were prisoners in our hands. Attended, most of them, in their last moments by our physicians and our clergymen, they were, after death, decently interred, and their graves carefully marked by our good-hearted sexton, who, in the per formance of his official duties, knew no such distinction as friend or foe. When it was proposed to strew flowers over the graves of these soldiers, his Honor The Mayor not only authorized the white teachers of the colored schools, headed by Eberhart, to go into the Cemetery and perform that ceremony, but olfcred to accompany them, and be present with them on the occasion. And we are also informed that in Macon the ladies not only strewed flowers over the “Rebel graves,” but over those of the Union soldiers also, the correspondent’s statement that the “graves of Union soldiers were passed coldly by,” to the contrary notwithstanding. This is a plain statement of facts ; and in conclusion, we may add that the City authorities of Augusta are iu per fect accord with the intelligent and worthy Officers who have command of this Department and Post. These Offi cers are gentlemen who will vindicate the truth in the' proper quarter and at the proper time, if necessary. Thus it is that a fair and candid statement of facts dissipates into thin air the misrepresentations of lying news paper scribblers, and their hypocritical | employers.
