Death of R (1. Saunders.—It be
comes our sad duty to chronicle the
death of Robert G. Saunders, tho only
child of Dr. R. M. S mnders, of Smith**
ville. He died at G liuesville, where ho
was attending school, last Sunday morn
ing, after a very brief illness.
The first telegram received by his pa-
roiiU announced his severe illness from
inti imraation of tho brain or men in get is
A few hours afterwards, before his par
ents could even start to his bed-side,
another telegram came conveying the
crushing intelligence that their dear boy
was dead. What bright fond Dopes for
the future thus in a moment were strick
en from the anticipations of these fond
parents, to be forever sepulture*! in the
tomb of disappointment and despair !
Robert was just sixteen years old,
bright and intelligent beyond his years,
jo«t approaching the threshold of a man
hood that promised a career of brilliancy
and usefulness. Being the only child
°f his parents, and a boy of .unnsual
promise it is not wonderful tlint their
grief i a inconsolable, and we can only
©ingle a tear of sympathy with their

ready at the. depot. There were some
excited persons in the party at that time,
but, gentle reader, what consternation
prevailed when it was found that the
miserable carriage driver had failed to

and that right quickly, to reach tho train

the lady walked. It was agreed, and the

At 1 p. m. the business houses were all

the oration was delivered. At 3} o’clock
the exercises commenced with a fervent
prayer from Rev J. T. McBryde, afUr
which the choir sang an appropriate
anthem. Dupont Gnerry, E>q , who had
been selected by the ladies of the Memo

occasion, delivered an eloquent and pa
triotic address, which was highly appro
ctated by all present. He said:
Ladies, Gentlemen and Children :
Pausing for u moment in the hurry and
thoughtlessness of life, we are here to
day to commemorate tue martyrs to the
independence of tho Southern Confed
eracy. It is an occasion for retrospection,
reflection aud saduess; for the quiet and
unosten'atious indulgence of patriotism
and philanthropy, gratitude aud pride,
and many others of that class of the
higher moral sentiments to which human
nature is indebted for glories of tho past
and the hopes of the future. Silence is
the must sincere and diguified form of
ceremony that can be adopted for the
exhibition of true and manly sorrow, and
at such a time and nuder each circum
stances elaborate oratory would be unap
propriate.
The occasion itself, as it steps on the
Rtoge of the present, draws aside the cur-
taiu of forgetfulness and exhibits to our
view the sad scenery of the past—the
wrecks of governments and the ruins of
institutions; principles that sleep and he-

There may be such a duty as patient
submission to wrong, consistent wi'h
moral integrity aud true manhood, but

the immediate result of the recent

prevail among men, it would constitute
un insuperable barrier in the highway of

The cause of 1861 was the cause 1776.
It triumphed on one occasion and failed
on the other. In this age of political
hypocrisy, we may seek to deceive each
other and ourselves, but it is the cause of
“Yesterday, to-day aud forever.” The
ist-ne may appear at different times, un
der different circumstances, and in dtf-
ferent forms, bat the lute struggle on the
part of the Southern people was in the
simplest analysis, but that resistance
which the.spirit of liberty will always,
under the same circumstances, render to
the encroachments and usurpations of
power If there is no Divine Providence
to direct and control the affairs aud des
tinies of nations, the political world, like
every other department of uuivers.d crea
tion, has its unalterable constitution and
its inflexible laws. As it is an arena for
human action, wrongs will be inevitably
perpetrated and endured. But the vio
lation of principles, however frequent or
wanton, can never have tho effect to de
stroy them, and a great question of po
litical right can no more be affected by
bloodshed than could some momentary
meteoric flash disturb the fixed nud eter
ual harmouy of the spheres. The rights
of men spring from the truths of God.
These rights, eo far as an ago or genera

When the light of Christianity first ap

trembled iu the angry elemeuts of u hu-

midnight storm. Its champions have
“suffered the oppressor’s wri ng and the
proud man’s contumely,” and the record
of the past is stained with their blood.
Institutions, miluary and political, social
and moral, have since arisen and fallen
along the tide of time as the roiling waves
the ocean’s bosom. But this light has
continued to burn on and od, through
