Memories and Traditions of the South.
A Junior Oration delivered at Emory College
Commencement, Oxford , Oa., July 20, 1869.
Ilium’s sad Chief, fro* wandering o'er the
main,
With joyous footsteps trod the grassy plain,
Bogirt with clouds his onward march ho took
Fondly on Dido’s rising pow’rs to look.
But when he saw upon the pictured wall,
In glowing outlines, Ilium's rise and fall,
Tho memories of the land so loved of yore,
Tho legends bright which throng her sea girt
shore
Wero marshaled at remembrance of her fate,
And ASnoas wept for Ilium desolate.
Wrapt in the mantle of the muse I stray
Through Time’* lone halls illum’d with fancy's
my,
And stroll amid his solemn templo vast,
Where spectrc-like flit memories of the past;
Where age grown “ cobwebs" dim the pictured
wall,
So darkly wove—Oblivion’s mantling pall;
Where gilded ruins mould’ring as they shine,
Are piled around his sacrificial shrine i
Where youth’s ambition, manhood’s nobler
prime,
Wisdom of ago—tho richest spoils of time,
Tho warrior’s conquests and the victor’s crown,
The jeweled soeptre and the purple gown,
The maiden’s hopes, the mother’s ohiefest joy,
Earth’s pride and pomp ? its gold, its base
alloy—
All that life cherished, or ambition fed
Now mingle ’mid his undistinguished dead,
Wliile these are victims of a common lot,
And which oblivion fain would have forgot,
Traditions, ling'ring round their ruins, tell
Their former glory, how each rose and fell.
Thou deathless spirit! whose immortal tongue
To after ages sings what has been sung,
My soul with inspiration pure, sublime,
Fill, as I trace the onward march of Time.
Aid to portray his triumphs great. Again
To bring to view from Lethe’s gloomy reign
The legend lore of my loved Southern land,
The mem’rie* dear which cluster round her
strand ;
Iler glories trace, which swell in splendid line
And unimpaired In stainless lustre shine ;
With soul entranced feast in her glowing past—
On this bright dream, as if it wore tho last.
From that murmuring stream where sleeps,
The “ Father of the bravo and free,"
To where the Mississippi sweeps
Its mountain born flood to the sea,
Such mem’ries boasts our sunny clime,
Forth knows none fairer, more sublime.
For where the reitless sea tides rave.
Her legend songs the sea nymphs hoar,
Along her streams whore beauties wave,
Their music charms the Naiad s ear.
Their words of chivalry arose,
Whose sound dismay on despots hurl’d,
And made her hills, her plains and vales
Seed plots of freedom to the world.
Behold this scene. In gradcur boaming
Through the smoke of raging buttle ;
Robed witli more than mortal seeming,
Heralded by muskot rattle i
Columbia struggles to be free
From British thrall and tyranny.
See where her “ Priests of Hermes’’ stand
Breathing words that knew n<r diread,
Whose oratory roused the land
To arms, till Freedom’s foes had Red ; ;
Till brighter grew Columbia's sky,-
Begemm’d with stars of victory.
Look there l Her Marion with his band,
Who we so flew,- “ but true and tried,"
Round freedom’s ramparts firmly stand,
Till freedom’s foes had fled or died ;
Whose shouts of victory fanned the fire
Which burned submission’s funeral pyre.
Read' her deep grief at Charleston s fall,
At Camden's overthrow so great,
At loved Savannah’s tyrant thrall,
At Jasper’s, and Pulaski’s fate ;
Still let such griefs in triumph toll
How freedom rose when fresmen fell.
For soon did glory’s chaplet proud
Wrcatho our chivalric Southern land ;
Woven ’mid 6inoke and battle cloud,
By Greene’s and Moultrie’s gallant band
Whose bright Wades’ flash dispersed the
gloom.
Then settling fast round freedom’s tomb.
There proudly stands her Washington,
Bright with more than mortal graeep
W ho led her conquering armies on
Fearloss freedom's foes to face,
Till Yorktown saw the glorious eight,
When tyrants bowed to conquering right;
When despot hirelings bent the knee,
And millions cried “ wo're free I we re free '
Then she was free. The tyrant host
No more opprest Her bleeding land >
No longer echoed on her coast
The despot's haughty, stem command ;
But rescued from hor deep despair,
She breathed heaven’s purest, freest uir.
Teace takes the Harp from Discord's hand',
Ami sings a strain with sweeter voice,
Whose accents thrill the drooping land,
And bid the Nation’s heart rejoice.
The sword now seeks its warworn sheath,
The warrior treads the furrowed plain,
Blooms like the rose the desert heath,
As flows her heaven -inspired strain.
Art lends the way through trackless wilds,
In darksome woods new radiance breaks
While forests fall und harvest smiled,
And Nature gladdens as she speaks.
See Agriculture till the soil,
While plenty in profusion pours,
(Ae Autumn reaps the golden spoil,)
The fullness of her generous stores.
Then science fair smiled on the morn
Which saw her as a nation born,
While Truth a nobler maroh began,
To ransom ond ennoble man.
And as she raised her banner high—
Hope’s ensign radiant and bright,
She bade the world turn hero its eye,
And viow u land of peace and light,
Iler noblo daughters never bore
An offspring born to boa slave ;
But like those dames in days of yore,
They taught each son to seek his grove,
Ere he bent the knee to power
Os tyrant lord, and ask the 4'iwer
Os servile life and name despised —
A gift by dastards only prized.
In tho deep raging, lurid strife,
In the dark battlo storm of life,
Where’er her gallant sons have trod
To face hor foes, or plead for God,
Where brain has worked, or muscle won,
Thy noblest deeds have ever done.
As years had joined the flight of Timo,
In stainless lustre grow her fanio j
In arms supreme, in arts sublime,
Earth felt the magic of her name.
New hopes, new times had sprung to birth,
And countless changes swept the earth,
But she had worn her laurels long
Unstained by tyranny and wrong.
No crumbling sanes along her shore
Had stood to tell a nation’s grave.
No dark’ning olouds her skies e’er wore,
Which shone upon the free and brave.
But despots rulod the fleeting hour.
And eager grasped at transient pow r,
And bared their arms for war ;
Frantic wrath rose in his pride,
And freedom's sacred cause defied,
As gleamed his banners far.
“ Unworthy sons of worthy sires
Basely built the funeral fires
Round freedom’s sacred throne ;
Though foes to man they still did claim,
In Liberty’s fair, honored name,
A virtue not their own.
Let Carolinas’ battle-plains.
Virginia’s desolated sanes,
Speak th' past's dread memory j
How Southern valor strove to save
A bleeding nation from its grave,
And save it for the free.
Let Georgia, wrapt in a sable wo,
Whose fires of freedom dimly glow,
And Tennessee opprest.—
Lot Arkansas so dcsolatA
And Louisiana’s tearful late,
And Texas in the West.—
Let Mississippi’s ruined land.
And Alabama’s mourning strand,
And Florida’s deep gloom,
Tell how her children bled in vain,
To save her from the despot’s reign,
From sad Sarmatia’s doom.
Go count her sacrificial slain.
Whose ashes lie round freedom’s shrine f
Go gather them on every plain
Where foes they me* in serried libe
ller Bartows, Johnsons, Hills, S tone waif,
Iler Barksdales, Walkers, Polks, and 1 Raitos,
Her Cleburne, Stewarts, Cobbs, and' all
Who sleep upon her gory plains.
Yet has the South os proud a boas*
In those who lived, as those who feH j!
Her muster roll of glory’s fees*
Must have an age their names to telV.
Though glory’s columns proudTy tetif
Their towering forms against the eky^
And on their lofty fronts do bear
Names wed to immortality,
Yet high above these stand the name
Os that brave champion of the free,
The Southron’s pride, the patriot’s boast—
Our Christian warrior—Robert Lee.
But higher still mid glory’s throng
There rises one—the pride of fame—
Whose spirit tyranny and wrong
Ne'er forced to bow in servile shame;
For noble Davis ne’er was made
To bend the knee when tyrants bade.
Though folded now the banners lie,
Which once to victory lod her braves,
Through wild and desolate the cry,
Which sings a requiem o’er their graves,
Land ot Defeat! Misfortune ! ! Wo !! t
Still, still to honor true thou art,
Oppression has not quenched the glow
Os thy integrity of heart.
»Thy wrongs, thy griefs are noted down,
And Heaven will avenge thy fate,
While coming years shall see thee etand
Compeer of nations, free and great;
For freedom shall net always dwell
A weeping hermit at thy tomb,
She soon will speak the glad "Farewell! ’
To all thy woes, to all thy gloom.

A Florida paper, speaking of tho marriage of
Governor Reid, of Wisconsin, who aots ns
Governor of Florida, says: “We feel very
kindly on all suoh occasions, and our joy and
warmest wishes for the Governor’s future hap
piness are only dampened by the fear that the
State of Florida will have to pay the exposes
of the bridal tour, as she has already paid the
expenses of a private lawsuit and a- political
excursion.’’
From the N. Y. Democrat.
The Georgia Labor Movement.
There are reports from Georgia to tho effect
that a large number of the negroes there have
resolved to leave. They have boon induced to
try their luck for less work and more pay
somewhere farther North. This is especially
true of the hands in the middle and southern
portions of the State.
Had they fulfilled their contracts by comj
plating the harvesting, we should have been
very glad to hear it. Thero is nothing, per
haps, that would more readily enlighten a
negro who has been for somo months under
vicious Radical training South, than a few
weeks under a Radical, or, in fact, almost any
other employer, here at the North.
It is notoriously truo of Southern employers
that they do not require as muoh work from a
negro in twenty four hours, a* he would have
to do here in five. Os this the rosoals there
who interfere with them to causo their dis
contentment, are well aware, and they lie to
them simply through fear that with tho indus
trial rule as it is, they will come to a knowl
edge of tho facts, and settle down contentedly
to do the work roquired. This is not at all in
accordance with the desires of the Northern
Radical rascals there. In almost every case
where the more intelligent negroes have come
to know the facts, they have not only aattled
down to their work as peaceably as before the
war, but have also become powerfully opposed
to the rascals among them whom they know to
be leading their more ignorant brethren astray.
There is nothing that has given so muoh of
oonfldence to those at the South who are labors
ing for the retention of the negro there, ae the
fact that in many oases where the negroee have
had an opportunity of judging of the treatment
they would rooeive from Northern Radicals, if
employed by them, they have returned to work
at or near their former homes, and are urgent
in tlioir appeals to their fellows to remain and
work industriously for and with the men of
tho South. They hare tried the Radical prom
ise, and have found it fearfully hypocritical.
It is these, and sifth ns theso, who having be
come satisfied that Radical teaching is for
Radical, not for negro gain, are now violent in
their denunciations of their Northern enemies,
and, when they vote, vote for the Southern
men, whom they found happiness in trusting
before the war, and in whom they have confi
dence now.
It is these exhibitions of common sense and
desire for self-preservation among the negroes
that have alarmed the scurvy Radicals, who
are there to feed upon turmoil; and, whenever
they can, are doing their utmost to create
discontent and refusal to work in accordance
with prior agreement.
One of the most effective falsehoods used to
disturb the communities South is the state
ment made by these carpet bagging Yankee
peddlers, that where they take goods from their
employers in part pay for the work they dot
they do not receive the goods as cheap as these
carpet baggers would fumsh them, if they
would only trade with them.
TTe have the best of authority for saying
that it was in order to secure to tho negroes,
at fair prices, what they were known to want,
that the system of purchasing goods at whole
sale for the negroes’ use wts adopted. Left
to tho care of the peddling oarpet baggers, it
was found that tho negroes were not only
grossly deceived ns to tho quality of what
they bought, but exorbitantly overcharged for
what they chose to buy. There was also an
other advantage in it. Some of the planters
#Ao were struggling to redeem their farms,
had not the ready tneans to spare to carry on
the work desired as extensively as tho occa
sion required. These had credit with whole
sale dealers, and in til elf contracts with their
* help, bargained to furnish what they should
Heed until the crops should he sold and the
money received, when they were to receive
their dues beyond what ttfey htfd drawn in
. ptftvlsibns and clothing.
This the Northern "small'-metfmr'e nfef
chants’* did not like. It interfered with their
traveling trade. tYhen they came along and
Used’ their noses as cracked rams’ horns of in
quiry among tlie negroes, they fonnd them
supplied ; and they used their noses for lying
as they always them at home.
Some of the negroes—those who still bo
lieve the Northern story that Abraham Lin
coln is now traveling around the Sbutn on
dark nights, picking out plantations and
mules, which arc to he given them (in a dream)
—believe what is told them, and as they don’t
hear anything from Abraham that means food
or drink, they are coming to the homes of
those who have told the story to find Abraham
and get that farm and mule. It is to be hoped
that their Radical deceivers will provide for
them when they arrive, for
“They are coming, Father Abraham,
They are coming to de Norf.”
The sale of Spiritous Liquors in Gothen
burg, Sweden, after a variety of *gporimbnts
by the authorities, ia carried'Off’ ©wording to
the following method t
A reform society of gentlemen of high so
cial standing has obtaiUod’entire control of the
traffic in spirits in the city, under an agree
ment to apply the whole of the profits above
expenses for the benefit of the poor. The so
ciety, it is reported, has reduced the number
of licensed houses to less than forty, one third
of tho former number, and has bound the
proprietors to sell only at fixed prices, giving
a profit of only one and a half per cent., with
obligations to keep'a supply of all harmless
drinks, including beer, at whatever profit
they could command, thus making it the in
terest of the venders to sell tlicse drinks instead
of liquors. The effect, it is asserted, has been
an almost entire cessation of drunkenness.
VOL 4 NO. 43
Stimulant.
George D, Prentice has been a constant
drinker for forty years. And for the lazt
ten yoars ho has been an excessive drinker.
Here is a temporanco lecture by him and wor
thy of him :
"Thore are times whon tho pnlse lies low in
the bosom, and beats low in tho veins; when
the spirit sleeps, which apparently knows no
waking, sleeps in its house of clay, and the
windows are shut, the doors hung in the invis
ible crape of melancholy, when wo wish the
golden sunshino pitchy darkness, and wish to
fancy olouds where no clouds be. This is k
state of sickness when physic may be thrown
to the dogs, for we wish none of it. What
shall raise the spirit? What shall make tho
heart heat music again, and the pulses, thrill
thro’ tlie myriad-thronged halls of life ? What
shall make the sun kiss the eastern hills
again for us with his old awakening gladness,
and the night overflow with moonlight, love
and flowers ? Lovo itself is tho greatest stim
ulant—the most intoxicating of all, and per
forms all those miraoloe, and is a miraclo itself,
bui it is not in a drug store whatevor they say.
The counterfeit is in tbo markot, but the
winged god is not a money changer, we as«
sure yon.
Men have tried many things, but still they
aek for stimulant.
Men try to bury the floating dead of their
own souls in tho wine cup. hut tho corpse rises.
We see their faces in tho bubbles. The intox
ication of drink sets the world whirling again,
and the pnlaes to play musio, and the thoughte
galloping, but fart olocke run down sooner,
and an unnatural stimulant only leaves the
house it filled with the wildest revelry, more
■ad, more deserted.
There Is one stimulant that never intoxicates
—duty. Duty puts a clear sky over every
man, into which the skylark, happiness,
always goes singing.
The Fifteenth Amendment.
The Radical papers publish strangely in
correct lists of the States which have ratified
or assumed to ratify tho Fifteenth Amendment,
What object is to be gained by repeatedly as
serting that Tennessee, Minnesota, and other
States which have taken no action, have fully
accepted the amendment, passes conjecture.—
The action taken thus far is as follows :
North Carolina, ratified March 5.
West Yirginia, ratified March 5.
Massachusetts, ratified March 12.
Wisconsin, ratified March 5.
Louisiana, ratified Maroh 1.
Maine, ratified March 9.
South Carolina, ratified March 10.
Pennsylvania, ratified March 15.
Connecticut, ratified May 13.
Florida, ratified in June.
Illinois, ratified March 5.
Nevada, ratified March 1.
New Hampshire, ratified July 1.
New York, ratified April 14.
Michigan, ratified.
Alabama, said to be ratified.
Missouri, assumed to ratify Maroh 1. Did
not act upon the socond section.
Kansas, assumed to ratify May 27. Tho
second section was imperfect.
Nebraska, assumed to ratify. Certificate on
silo at the State department is informal and
insufficient.
Rhode Island, the Senate ratified May 27.
The amendment will probably be rejected
because the Rhode Island Radicals believo that
under it thav can no longer disfranchise their
Irish Catholic laborers,
Indiana, assumed to ratify May 14. No
quorum present. #
Delaware, rejected.
Kentucky, rejected.
This makes only 22 States that can possibly
be claimed for tho amendment thus far; and
of these, only seventeen have legally ratified
it. The assent of eleven more States will bo
necessary to force negro suffrage upon an un*
#lll ing people.—Ex.
Tour Wife.
The following is “The Family Relations
according to the Talmud
If vouf wife is of a small stature bow down
to her and hoar her words in reference to do
mestic ae well as worldly affairs.
The husbaijd should ever be anxious that
the proper respect be paid his wife, because
the house is blessed only for her sako.
Honor your wife, and you will be blessed
with richness.
Good and bad luck, pleasure and grief, joy
and sorrow are in the hands of the wife.
Who takes unto himself a wife brings luck
to the house, or a yawning gulf.
I have found a woman who is more bitter

A man without a wife is no man at all.
Important Discovery. —A party of gentle
men, one or tWo from Detroit, says the Tri
bune, recently discovered on the railroad
between East Saginaw and Bay City a pecu
liar earthly deposit, which they are convinced
possesses rare fertilizing qualities. It was
fonnd about two feet below tho surface, was of
a pasty consistency, and of a whitish color,
and on exposure crumbled into a’ gr:tty pow
der, which was found on microscopic examina
tion to contain minute shells. About 25 lba.
of this substance have been schTto'Prof. 81
P. Duffieid for atitllysis. This will be found,
we think, to be a species of mere tripoli, wlth
i out the expected fertilizing quality.
