Hollywood now, as in other days, bears upon its bowery bills a thousand tokens of memorial Jove. Wherever we wander there we find them—wherever —“ The spirit of the spot shall lead i Mir footsteps amid slopes of green access, in. re, like an jufuni’s smile, over the dead, l . iight of laughing flowers along the turf is spread.” Sm h are, however, for the most part, the tributes i sad hearts in times of peace; yet many another, uoi ii h um the agonizing bereavements of war, blooms .j-il;. and gloriously there. And now that scarcely „c unhappy soul, whose tears in peace nourished p in. in. muriid llovver in Hollywood, does not mourn . un son or brother lost in wa~, it will not be long all us tailless shrines will grow green and “blos- ?1 ,:u like a garden”—and the pride of patriotism, blending with the natural sorrows of bereavement, dill dnect ti»e footsteps of friend and strangers thither ir i a spot both sacred aud historic. THE DAY. Yesterday was observed—universally observed—by ... itizcns of Richmond aud its vicinity, as a day of : in Ling and beautiful ceremonies in honor of the , a l < i Hi. late Southern armies whose remains are in- ;,rred at Hollywood. The stores aud business houses .; He city were all closed at an early hour.

TLu Ladies’ Memorial Association assembled at ught o’clock, at Grace Church, where, dur- La* preceding day aud constantly yesterday i-TLiug, contributions of flowers were deposited by people residing in the city and from many miles *•' uiiu it. Several other churches were also opened, —ruing services were held, aud floral tributes coi tal.

OVB DEAD CHIEFTAINS. In the imposing vault of our late esteemed fellow citizen, W. W. Dunuovaut, are deposited the mortal remains of General John H. Morgan, that preux cfw- valier whom Kentucky furnished to the armies of the Confederacy. This vault remained open during the day, aud hundreds of visitors eatere^ this silent abode of the once bold and dushibg idn^oan. ^ Upon his coffin rested several beautiful wreaths, sent from Lex ington, Kentucky, by the Misses Jackson, as a tribute of love and admiration for their renowned country- man. THE GRAVE OF GEN. J. E. B. STUART. All day long crowds hung around the spot where rests all that is mortal of Virginia’s noblest cavalier, General Stuart. This grave Uad received especial at tention, being completely covered with the most fra grant and beautiful flowers and evergreens. Near the grave of the lamented chieftain was erected a niche or arch of evergreens, inside of which and upon a pyramid made of sweet flowers rested the recently completed bust of General Stuart. This bust, which is a triumph of art, is, as has already been stated, the work of our young townsman, Mr. E. V. Valentine. It is an admirable likeness of the great original, and seemingly possesses so much of life that we can al most imagine we again hear “a ringing bugle! A merry, clauking sound— With the din of clattering hoof-strokes Upon the frosty ground!— And Stuart with his sabre keen, And floating plume appears, Surrounded by his gallant band Of Southern cavaliers!” On the top of the pedestal which sustained the bust was the following inscription—“Stuart : dead, yet alive; mortal, yet immortal.” Near the bust was fast ened a small piece of white paper, upon which was written the following beautiful inscription, by, Mrs. Dr. George : “Olt mav the tear the green sod steep, And sacred be the hero’s sleep; And ne’er beside liis noble grave May Southron pass and fail to crave A blessing on the fallen brave.” Near the General sleeps bis little daughter, Flora, who died in this city some months previous to the wounding of her father. At her side also rests the remains of Minnie Brewer, daughter of Dr. Charles Brewer, of Maryland. Little Minnie was a niece of General Stuart. While standing near the grave of General Stuart we saw a beautiful lady enter, bearing a sword made of evergreens and flowers, complete in every particular, and deposit it upon the grave of the fallen hero, and then, with the tear of affection glistening in her eye, turn surrowfully away. Low-speaking, respectful groups, coming and going, stood about the grave of the great leader all day, aud continually fresh offerings from fair and gctle hands were laid upon it : Thither tho maidens came, sweet flowers to twine Above his form, so still, and cold aud painless; Whose deeds upon our brightest records shine, Whose life aud sword were stainless. They well remembered how lie loved to dash Into the fight, festooned from summer bowers; How, like a fountain’s spray, his sabre’s Hash Leaped from a mass of flowers. * * * * * ,* And none of all that bright, heroic throng Shall wear, to l'ar-offtime a semblance grander; Shall still be decked with fresher wreaths of song Than this beloved commauder. THE GRAVES OF GENERAL AND COLONEL PEGRAM. Upon a gentle slope of the farthermost hill, a few hundred yards from the tomb of Monroe, side by side, lie the noble brothers, John and Willie Pegrain —the first a tutored soldier, accomplished in the science of war, uud illustrating upon the field, not the art mere ly, but the genius of generalship, as well as a daunt less courage—tho other with the down of boyhood on his face, and with the gentleuess of a maiden in his eye, doing deeds more daring than have won duke doms tor others, with a calmness that seemed uncon scious of danger, and a modesty that ignored all thought of merit— “ Gentlest and bravest, in the battle’s brunt He bore his banner to tho very front Of our immortal youth.” One in blood, one in the holy associations of home, one in the stem trials of war and in the bloody conse cration through which they passed from duty here to its reward hereafter, together now— “ They rest in tho star-lit shadows, And their brows are white and still.” Both of these graves were beautifully decorated with magnolias, hollies, lillies, roses and evergreens* aud during the day were visited by hundreds of fair women and brave men. At the head of General Pe- gram’s grave is a marble slab, upon which is inscribed: “General John Pegram, killed at Hatcher’s Run. ‘ Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.’ ” The grave of the younger brother bears a3 yet no other inscription than his name, but that is enough. Earth, that all too soon hath bound him, Gently wrap liis clay ! Linger lovingly around him, Light of dying day ! Softly fall, ye sumnife.r showers— Birds and bees, among the flowers Make the gloom seem gay! THE GRAVE OF GEN. W. E. STARKE- The grave of Gen. W. E. Starke, of tbe Second Louisiana Brigade, also bore mauy garlands of affec tion, deposited there by those who have not forgotten the services of the brave man who battle^ so heroically for our “Lost Cause.” Gf-n. Starke was a native ot Virginia, and was killed at the battle of Sharpsburg, September 17th, 1863. Near the grave of the General rest the remains of his son Edwin, Adjutant of the Seventh Virginia Infantry, who died of wounds re ceived at Seven Pines. OTHER GRAVES. The graves of Gen. Armistead, Gen. Archer, and the gallant Wheat, were also strewn with flowers. On the grave of Col. Wheat was a beautiful cross, upon which his last words were inscribed: “Bury me cu the field, boys.” THE DEAD CAPTAINS. The graves of the dead Captains of the Blues, O. J. Wise and Frederick Carter, were again ornamented with flowers, and were visited by thousands. At the foot of Capt. Wise’s grave was a confederate flag, worked beau til ally in different colored flowers and evergreens. At the head of the grave was a handsome boquet, which bore tho following inscription : ** But he; his country's sword and shield Still in the battle front revealed Where danger fiercest swept the field.” THE UNKNOWN DEAD. Very many of the graves are unmarked with name or number. Who is the occupant of each must remain unknown till the great day when the sepulchres give up their dead; but these undesignated mound9 re ceived like loving care with all others. It was enough to know that in each “ narrow cell’’ lay the moulder ing form of one who had worn the gray; and that, falling among strangers and lying undistinguished and unknown, there were those somewhere whose hearts ached when he came away, and bleed yet that he has not returned: — He was somebody’s love; Somebody’s heart enshrined him here; Somebody wafted his name above, Night and morn, on the wings of prayer. Somebody wept when he marched away, Somebody’s kiss on his forehead lay. Somebody clung to his parting hand. THE GRAVE OF PRESIDENT MONROE. The grave of President Monroe was not overlooked in the general distribution of flowers, but was deco rated and garlanded with wreaths of rose9, and, dur ing the day was visited by large numbers ot persons. FINIS. From early mom to the midday hour, and long after, one might see the whole city pouring oat its whole population, until Hollywood was filled with over twenty thousand people. Amongst all that vast crowd, of all ages and both sexes, every one of whom almost was a bearer of a tribute of flowers, the great est order aud decorum prevailed—all being deeply impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. During the day a band played solemn dirges in va rious parts of the grounds. We noticed that all the express companies and hotels placed their vehicles, ftee of charge, at the dis posal of our people, and that these vehicles were wreathed in immortelles and emblems of mourning. Thus has passed a day that ever will be remembered and that proves the respect of the Southern heart for chivalrous devotion to principle Not one grave was overlooked; for teuder and affectionate hands paid equal tribute of tears and wreaths to them all. The Fenian Movement,—It is stated at Fenian headquarters in New York that the commander of the expedition against Cana da just undertaken is Colonel O’Neil of Nash ville, Tennessee. The Fenian circles throughout the Province are understood, to be acting in concert with their brothers from the American side. This, it is sup posed, will tend to overthrow the confidence of the authorities in the Irish in their en deavors to resist the invaders by aid of the militia. As for the regular troops, there are but 6,000 of them, of tvliorn a large propor tion are in full support-^ and fellowship with the Fenians. There is. therefore, rea son, according to official authorities, to an ticipate an early uprising ot the Fenian population, and a fraternizing of the British soldiery with the people, as in the days of the barricades in Paris. It is. also claimed that not only the Irish inhabitants of the provinces, but the French Canadians are connected with this conspira cy, |and will at the proper time add their compensation. It is possible that their oc cupation of Fort Erie is but one attempt to divert attention, while a blow more decisive will be struck at a more valuable part of the British Empire in North America. In that event, we may expect to see lower Lawrence responding at an early day to the call of the Fenians. litd, comrades that in the deadly strife l6e med their patriot vows with life.

[From the Augnsta Constitutionalist.] The Anguts Factory. The most important and complete cotton factory in the United States, south of tbe Potomac, is located iu the city of Augusta. Few enterprises, either North or South, have been conducted with such signal suc cess as the Augusta factory. Its prominence deserv. s more than a passing notice; and we propose, tiiert- fore, to give such details as will convey some idea oi its workings. What wo have to say, however, ia in tended more for the eye of those in other States than for the people of Augusta and vicinity, who are pre sumed to be in a measure familiar with the operations of this great home enterprise. At this time, particularly when the labor system of the SSuth has been disrupted, and former pursuits made less remunerative from the disastrous results ol' war, it behooves the people of the South to turu their efforts into other channels of industry. Manufactu ring enterprises promise to be tbe most profitable. Prior to the war New England manufactured the raw material, and tbe South consumed the goods and filled the cofiers of .the enterprising New Englander. Agri cultural pursuits, and, to some extent, commercial, occupied the attention of tho Southern people. The producers and consumers, tbe South paid largely to the East for all manufactured articles, aud thus bgilt up that section to the fatal detriment of the South. We disliked to be called “shopkeepers and mill-dri vers,’’ and were content to permit the North to run the “mills and shops,” for which the South forked over to the tune of one hundred per cent, aud some times more, on all manufactured goods. « The dislikes and objections to what may have been considered not respectable vocations base been ex ploded. and our people must now enter upon new callings. They must become manufacturers. The euterprise and industry of the East have built up that section, its manufactories have enriched its people and given the most powerful influence in-the conduct of political, affairs. The same avenues are now open to the South. Our people have but to apply them selves with assiduity and properly directed efforts g- build up their broken fortunes. Cotton will be tne regenerator of our impoverished South. But it must uot only be produced, but manufactured at home. Build them up in every State. The raw material grows at our doors, and can be purchased at first cost, while New England will have to pay at least 10 per cent. more. Labor and -material can be. had as cheap at the South for these purposes as in any other sec tion. W r ilh such advantages in our favor, the South will be thus enabled to defy Northern competition. This is evident, and needs no farther elucidation to prove the great necessity of manufacturing interest for the recuperation of the South. There is one condition absolutely essential to suc cess. Neglect it, and failure threatens. Experienced practical men must be at the head of such enterprises, if they cannot be found at home, get them from abroad. The Augnsta Factory has been a great suc cess, because the right men hare been at the head of affairs. This ia the model enterprise' of the South, aud as such we desire to hold it up to all parties who contemplate entering upon like pursuits. As such in terests are now being agitated throughout the Sonth, some facts in our possession will be of importance, and we will therefore present them. The present company, Wm. E. Jackson, President, purchased the factory firom the city of Augusta for i140,000, the original company having turned it over to the city. Improvements on improvements have been going on from year to year, until it is now com plete in all its departments. The space of ground oc cupied by tbe buildings of tbe company cover twenty five seres. There are two mills, each' five stories high, two hundred and eighteen feet long by fifty- two feel wide, with an ell one hundred and fifteen feet long and five stories high attached. The number of looms in operation te four hundred and sixty-three, running sixteen thousand kpindlea. The factory gives employment to six hundred and forty operatives (all white.) In 1859, when the present Superintendent, Mr. F. Coggin, took charge of the mills, the operatives worked thirteen hours per day, making an average of t wen ty-uiuo yards to the loom. The number of work ing hours is now reduced to eleven hours, and an average of forty-two yards to the loom is turned off. The eleven hour system was adopted two years ago by tho Augusta Factory, and has since been adopted by other Southern mills. New machinery of the most improved description is now being introduced into both mills, the cost of which amounts to very near $100,000. Thcso im provements do not, however, interfere with the opera tions of the mill, as the plan of introduction is so ar ranged as to keep the old machinery working while the new is being supplied. The capital stock of the company was increased du ring the war from $200,000 to $600,000. From the re port of the President and Directors, made for the six months ending December 16th, 1865, we have been permitted to make some interesting and important extracts with respect to the working of the company, showing expenditures, receipts, etc. It may be proper, to add that reports are ouly made every six month;., and that the next one will be submitted on the 16th of Jane, 1866. From the last, it appears that the Capital stock is $600,000 00 Mills, machinery and real estate 400,527 81 Commercial capital $199,472 19 The Internal Revenue tax paid on sales, cotton and real estate, from May 1, 1865, to May 1, 1866, shows: Taxon sales $78,093 54 Tax on cotton 38,205 00 Tax on real estate 466 67 Total.. .-$116,765 21 Dividends are paid quarterly to the stockholders, or tbe last four quarters they received $120,000. The following allows the description and amount or goods manufactured for six months: - Pounds. Pieces. Yards. 4-4 516,455 40,567 1,536,670 7-8 353,651 33,088 1,244,314 Drills 51,052 4,102 143,784 Total 921.158 77,757 2,924,768 Whole number of looms iu operation 463 Average number of looms running 4eo 11-13 Average number of yards per loom per day. .40 2-3 Average number of hands employed 640 Aggregate wages paid $92j019 13 Aggregate amount of sales..- $876,450 68 The lollowing are the number of bales of different descriptions of goods made for six months : 4-4 1,656 7-8 1,336 Drills 203 Light 2 Yarns 148 Total 3,351 The foregoing extracts illustrate how admirably the Augusta Factory has been conducted under the management of its President, YVm. E. Jackson, Esq., w ho manages tbe financial and general business de partment in behalf of the stockholders. Iu every respect and without exception the Augusta Factory is second to none in the whole country. The provisions made for the support and comfort of the operatives are ample, while the moral and education al wants of both parents and children are looked after. There are two Churches, a Baptist and MetboJist for the benefit of the employees, which are mainly sup ported by the company. On tbe grounds there are one hundred and eighteen brick tenements two stories high, pleasantly located, well ventilated, aud comfortably built. We omited to mention that the Factory has attached to it, carpenter shops, machine shops and gas works. Mr. 3. C. Bodfish arranged the motive power, and Mr. M. F. Foster aided materially in arranging the machinery. Both gentlemen performed their respec tive duties in a very satisfactory manner. There are others also who are entitled to credit iu this connec tion, but their names are not remembered. Mr. F. Cogin, the general superintendent, is one of the most systematic, practical and indetatigable of workers, and great credit is due him for the perfec tion which has been arrived at in the inside opera tions of the factory, and for its present flattering con dition. After several years of industry, his well di rected efforts iu bringing the mills to their present condition have been crowned with success. similar enterprises conducted on the same principle aB the Augusta Factory is what Is wanted to build up the Southern States. Parties contemplating the build ing of cotton factories will know no such word as fail, provided they are conducted with the same skill, en terprise and industry as has characterized the Augusta Factory. [From the Coiambus Enquirer.] To tbe Women of Georgia. We make an appeal to all the true-hearted women of our State, and especially to those who haTe not had their homes laid waste daring the late war, to assist us iu the last sad duty we owe our brave countrymen who fell at the battle of Resaca, 14th and 15th of May, 1864, and whose bones still lie bleaching on tbe hill sides around ns. The immediate retreat of our army after that bril liant but disastrous engagement, and the occupation of the country by tbe enemy for more than a year af terwards, prevented the proper interment of our dead. Bqt shall they lie unburied, a silent reproach to ns? Shall those whom we delighted to honor while living, be less dear to our hearts now, after having sacrificed all in our common cause ? No 1 not the response comes, eagerly though mourn fully, from the warm, sympathetic hearts of onr Georgia women, ever ready for every good work dur ing the last five eventful years, and they will not deny themselves all that is now left to ns—the burying and mourning onr dead. We would suggest that the ladies of each city form committees for the purpose ol making collections to be appropriated to this sacred use. Mr. John F. Green, a citizen of this neighborhood,' has given a beautiful piece of ground for onr proposed cemetery, and he will gladly receive, and use a» di rected, all racney sent for the purchase of coffins, and a suitable enclosure of the ground—assisted by the Woxkn of Resaca. Resaca, May 24, 1866. Southern exchanges are requested to copy. A Pkegkast IsquiBY.— Mr. Boss, a member of Congress from Pennsylvania, in a late speech in the House of Representatives, put the following query to Thad. Stevens k Co., who hold that the Southern States arc out of the Union in consequence of the war. He said: “If these States are actually out of the Union, why were some of their Representatives detained in Con gress, witlftmt objection, after the passage of their or dinances of seccsssion, and daring the prosecution of the war 1 In August, 1861, Congress imposed a direct tax oh these eleven States of between five and six millions of dollars, which recognized them as being in the Union. In March, 1862, in apportioning rep: reaentation among tho States, fifty-seven members were assigned to the eleven States whose Representa tive are now excluded from this halL Why appor tion them Representatives In Congress if they were out of the Union?" ■Not one of Hie radicals found it convenient to an swer these Interrogatories. —A housebreaker lately stole from a poor man at Boston two bank books, representing $1,4*5, and burned them up- Both circumstances have been proved in court, bnt tbs banks refuse to give the man the money or new books, unless ha gives sureties to a considerable amount that be WfB set make another demand for the money, or reoovar It by action of law.
