AUO USTA|»A .: THURSDAY MORNING May 10, 1066 BEAR IT IN MIND THAT THE ■JIAILY PREffe ADVERTISES MORE CHEAPLY THAN ANY DAILY IN THE CITY. MERCHANTS IVHO DESIRE TO REACH FAMILIES WILL FIND IT A MOST VALUABLE MEDIUM. Do the Dead Die For Ever? Tboso have died aud arc almost forgotten, who, amid the carnage of the French revolu tion, wrote otct the gates ot the Cemeteries, “Death is an eternal sleep.” In like rnanuer have the fantastic horrors with which fancy winged man’s last visi tant, paled in the light of reason's growing day, and enlightened philosophy and Chris tian theology teach the simplo truth alike : “Death is a change of state.” He who would teach that the atoms cease to be, or preach the annihilation of matter, would not more contradict evidence and reason, than he who would teach that life ceases when the finger can not count its pulses, nor the ear detect its breath. The dead die not for ever, and it is sweet to die. When the child comes with a wail into being, and its young eyes, saddened with the long dark road before them, are closed again and forever, on the bosom of its mother, there nmy bo tears as its form is buried, but it is blessed to believe that the bud that shrank from the winds of life is sheltered for ever in the cool shadows of the Throne. When the maiden dies in her early bloom, or the boy in opening manhood, wo are almost glad that no frost ever touched the golden hair, and that the eyes we loved, brightened to the last. But when the frosts have coinc, and the white blossoms of age have crowned the bead ; when trouble has quenched the light of the eye in its unshed tears, und the plow man, Time, has run his furrows on the holy face, and turned the bloom of the lips to ashes; when heavy care bears on the strong shoulders, and tries to bow the form that bent only to its Maker. When thought clamors at the portals of the brain, aud refuses to let it rest, and gives no time for the soul to bathe in death’s pool, nor seek the cooler waters of the heavenly Jordan ; “when the doors shall be shut in the streets, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird; when tho almond tree shall flourish and the grasshopper shall bo a burden, and desire shall fail, beeauso man goeth 'to bis long home ;” in that evening of life’s stormy day, “it is blessed thus to die.” The God who made us (for tho occupations of the stars and the holy labors of the eter nal bills), wisely left our earthly school hr" .*■; jj., u i * rus to i ars and mtment •• . ’ vtbHss. , ..o v/wfc hover cuuaaa, Like the Patriarch’s bird, and no resting is found ; Where hope, w hen she paints her gay bow on the air, Leaves its brilliance, to fade in the night of despair; f And joy’s fleeting angel ne’er sheds a glad ray, Save the gleam of the plumage, that bears him away, Where the rapture of pardon, is mingled with fears, And the cup of thanksgiving, with penitent tears.” Thus it is, that we learn our school boy lesson on the benches of time, and tired of tho task, and even of the play ground, sonic sooner, some later, we listen for the great chariot wheels of eternity and the call of our names, and smile when God’s grand angel, Death, looks in, and shows us life’s last page and the words, “the end.” Sometimes before “ever the silver chord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken,” there are tokens that the angel hands arc fingering tho strings of life. A great man, when confined in an asylum, was asked the cause, lie answered, “too much brain.” When Hugh Miller, like Pope, would “Vindicate the ways of God to man,” and compiled that grand “Testimony of the Rocksthe soul strayed too far into nature’s immensities, ever to return. The giant phantoms of the Pre-Adamite world came to his couch in dreams, aud when in the morning his warm spirit came back from the Titanic avenues through which it had walked with its immortal spectres, he told bis wife in his agony, “I must have walked.” T ius ho fled to eternity because pursued by time. Edgar A. Poe was another of these haunt ed dwellers on the threshold of the ‘beyond.’ A poem like an echo from tho spirit land, t Ale of his death; “Andi fled life’s outer portal, Deeming anguish was immortal, Crying, Launch your heaviest thunders, tell me never to adore. Hate for hate and curse for curses, Through abisinal universes, Plunge me down, as lost Archangels fell, de spairingly of yore! So the whirl-wind bore my spirit, Rut to lands the saints inherit; And it seems my heart forever, like a rubycup runs o’er; I am blessed beyond all blessing, And an angels’ pure caressing * Flows around my heart forever, like a stream around its shore.” But the perished Geologist was most like the man we mourn to-day. Born in our midst, dwelling here, and dying here, when well advanced to the sum of life’s completeness. A lawyer, eminent even amid such intellects as Jcukins, John- son, Stephens aud Toombs. A statesman who refused office, apd tampered not with government. A friend to the oppressed, whether they neoded his wisdom, his arm or his purse. A benefactor of the poor, who told not to his left hand what his right hand did. A man of honor, who ftayod quarrels, and told the hot passions of youth to stay awhile tho impetuous revenge, and healed the wounded spirit without any ointment of blood. A constant attendant upon the public worships of God, and while not openly professing the Redeemer’s faith, yet well entitled to the dear name that follows oue of the beatitudes, for, “blessed are the peace makers, for they shall be called the Children of God.” A counsellor who settled law suits and led his clients from the courts, not to them. A friend who was never too busy to listen nor too poor to aid. A companion who could defend like a lion and love like a woman. A man of society, who had seen foreign lauds only to love his own. A lip and eye that knew mirth and joy, but never stoopod to levity. A dignity that was always manly, but never austere. Eyes that could rebuke aud also weep. Honest as tho angel of Judgment, and when in pursuit of the right, inflexible as death, yet never unwisely just, and looking upon the dread machinery of retributive law, as but the conductors to that judicial throne where “Justico and Mercy meet aud em brace.” Why tell to a community who are all his friends, how wise he was in law, or of that unintentional eloquence, which would have wou him the rewards of tho great, bad not modesty and good taste led him to avoid the gilding that earth loves to 3pread upon tho flowers of the mind. He may never hnve known that fame offered him a crown. He certainly never looked up to see. W r ben in IS6O, it was proposed that we abandon tho majorities we held in Congress aud seek the advancement of human liberly upon the bloody fields where she had often so well nigh perished, he condemned the political folly, and stood by Stephens and Jenkins, when there was peril in so standing. When his State revoked his allegiance to the Union, he bowed to her sovereign will, and if bo sinned in devotion to the South, the blood of his children, shed from the Potomac to the Mississippi, sanctified his error. One son left Johnsou’s Island for that soldier’s home where— “On Fame’s eternal camping ground, Her silent tents are spread. And glory guards with solemn round. The bivouac of the dead.” When bloom and heroism failed to win independent nationality, he yielded to the will of God as he had once before to the will of his : and was present when the public voice of his city signified Geor gia’s dignified acceptance of the facts of history, and her renewed obligation to ro entcr the Union she helped create. His spirit sympathized with all who felt or said— “ Furl that banner ! soniy, slowly ; Treat it gently—it is holy— For it droops above the dead. Touch it not—unfurl it never, Let it droop there, furled for ever. For its people's hopes are dead.” lie is dead, as some time must die, even the rooted oak with which the whirl wind played, and to which tho ivy clung. There are different ways to die. Some times the tree 1 slowly decays, branch by branch and inch by inch, and like the lib erty of a nation, takes a long time to die. Sometimes the great tree bows in its full strength, and perishes with its crown of green, because a worm had eaten out its heart: even as it seems the Constitution of these States will perish. * If he had errors, and who has not ? over them let the tear that pities human weakness fall. If he had sins, and who had not, save the sinless ? on them let the veil that covers human frailty rest. He is dead, and to our questioning hearts comes an answer from Heaven, “Is it well with the dead? It is well.” If “charity covers a multitude of sins,” then his few errors are veiled by love’s broad mantle. Let us trust that “he, through sorrow, en tered into rest,” and is among those who came up from “great tribulation,” but have “washed their robes in tho blood of the Lamb,” where—* “Beyond these voices there is peace.” With not a stain on hi3 long and useful life, and almost a martyr and quite a vic tim to cares too great to keep or to resign ; so he passed the portals of the Inliuite, and loving kindred and friendly hearts followed his mortal dust to its resting place. If there, in the shadows of the evoning, hearts that have loved him long and will keep his memory until they cease to beat, shall meet as they will, with those of his blood and name, who havo knowu him in more sacred intimacy, but not honored more, what can those hearts of friendship do ? Tho sympathy of all who feel for all who suffer, has already gone its siiont way to share if it cannot soothe; and as sad glances moot at the tomb, the lips can only say— “We loved him too.” Ilis name will long bo kindly spoken in Augusta homes, and it was right and proper that on the night of his death, by the side of his coffin, his grandchild, the child of his daughter, should bo christened— HENRY CUMMING. The dead die not forever. Their souls live and aro a part of eternity. Their memories live in hearts they leave behind. Their names live in their children. Death is a change of state. —A paper says it is a most surprisng thing to see .the fruit trees all over the country in profuse bloom when, two months ago the wisest men among the fruit raisers declared that the frost hud ruined everything. Civil Authority Fully Restored. Twelve months ago, dating from Mon day last, the Federal army took torrnal possession of the city of Angutta, rais ing the stars and stripes upon the City Hall, and proclaiming freedon to all men of all colors within the jurisdiction of this District. With that occupation came military law, with all its rigors, pains, and penalties; the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, the delivering up of arms, the suppression of newspa? pers and free speech, the tyranny of haughty officials, the withdrawal of the right to go abroad at will, the necessity of passports and permits; and all the other annoyances of the suspension of citil authority, and the establishment of military law. It was to us, lor a few months, a reign of terror, a carnival of tyranny ; hut we bore it all with a meek ness and patience that surprised even those who exercised power over us. As time w'ore on, however, these rigors be came mollified; the President saw that we were honest in our loyalty, and came to our rescue. New appointments were made, until at length, our cityand State were blessed with the presence of officers, who are gentlemen as well as soldiers. Under the mild administration of Gen. Brannan aud ti n. Tillson and their sub ordinates, peace and order have been restored, the civil authority has been gradually re-established; and we have worked along, almost forgetful of the ex istence of military law, aud the suspen sion of the habeas corpus writ. At length, however, comes the long look for, earnestly hoped for, patiently waited for, day of entire deliverance. We now, thank God 1 “breathe the free air once again,” once again enjoy the privileges of freedom, the rights and the protection of law, as the subjoined order from tho Secretary of War, by authority of President Johnson, will fully show. Heaven bless Andy John son, and strengthen his arm against his enemies and the enemies of tho Consti tution. The following is the order re ferred to : War Department, Adjutant General’s Office, Washington, May 1, 1866. [General Orders, No. 26.] Whereas, some military commanders are embarrassed by doubts as to the operation of the proclamation of the Preisdent, dated the 2d day of April, 1666, upon trials by military commissions. To remove such doubts, it is ordered by the President that— Hereafter, whenever offences committed by civilians are to be tried where civil tribu nals are in existence, which can try them, their eases aro not authorized to be, and will not be, brought before military courts mar tial or commissions but will be committed to the proper eivil authorities. This urdar is mu applicable to camp-followers, as provi ded for nudor the 60th Article of War, or to contractors and ethers, specified in sec. 16, Act of July 17, 1862, and sections 1 and 2, Act of March 2, 1863. Persons and offencos cognizable by the Rules andArticles of War, and by the Acts of Congress above cited, will be continued to be tried ami punished by military tribunals, as prescribed by the Rules and Articles of War and Acts of Con gress, hereinafter cited, to wit: Sixtieth of the Rules and Articles of b ar.
