The Graves of*thoso we Love. .
The sorrow for the dead 'is the
only sorrow from which we refuse to
be divorced. Every Other would we
seek tot heal—e Very other to
forget; but this (vound we consider
it a duty to keep affection
wc cherish and brood over in solitude.
Where is that mother who would wil
lingly forget the infant that perished
like a blossom from her arms, though
every recollection is a pang ? Where
A is tho child who would forget tho most
* tender parclfts, though to remember
l>£ but to lament ? YVlio, even in the
> - hour of agony, would forget the friend
over-whonr lie mourns ? W ho, even
when the tomb is cl.osthg tipoji the
remains of her he most loved when he
most loved, when lie feels heart, as it
were, crushed in the closing of its portab
would accept of consolation that must
be bought by forgetfulness ? No—the
love which survives the. tomb is one
of tho noblest attributes of the soul.
If it lias woes, it has likewise its de
lights, and when the overwhelming
burst of-grief is calmed into the gen*
tie tear of recollection, when the sud
den anguish and the convulsive agony
over tho present ruins of all that we
most loved, is softened away into pen
sive meditation, on all that it Was in
the days of its lovejineess—who would
root such a sorrow from the heart ?
Though it may sometimes throw a
passing cloud over the bright hour of
gaiety or spread a deeper shade over
the hour of gloom, yet who would ex
change it even for tho song.of pleas-,
ure or. tho burst of revelry ? INFo—
there i 3 a voice from the tomb s vv.ee t
-er than song. There is a remem
brance of the dead to which we turn
even from the charms of the' living,
m the grave ! It buries every error, j
Covers every defect, extinguishes every
resentment! From its peaceful bo
som soring none but fond regfets and
tender recollection’s. Who can look
down upon the grave even of an ene
my and not feel a compunct uous throb
• that, ho would ever havo warred with
thp poor handful of earth that lies be
fore him ? *
But the graves of those wc love!
What a place for meditation ! There
it is that we call up in long review tJio
# whole history of virtue and gentleness,
and the thousand endearments lavish
ed, upon us almost unheeded in the
daily intercourse of intimacy; then it
is that the tenderness—the solemn,
awful tenderness of the passing scene
—the bed of death h with all its stifled
grief! its noiseless attendance!. its
mute, watchful’ assiduities! the last
testimonial of expiring love ! the fee
ble, fluttering, thriving;—oh, how thril
ling !—pressure of the hand ! the last
fond look of the gazing ©ye, turningiipon
us even from the thrcshhold of exisl
cnce! the faint-faltering accents, strug
gling in death to give one more assur
ance-of alfection.
Ay, go to the grave of buried love, *
and meditate ! There settle the ac- •
count with thy' conscience for every
past benefit unrequited, every past on--
- doarment unregarded, of that depart
ed being who can never return to
bo soothed by contrition.
If thou art a child, and hast ever ad- 1
ded a sorrow to the soul, or a furrow
to the silvered brow of an alfcctionato
parent —if. thou art a husband and hast
ever caused the lond bosom that vui-
tured its whole happiness in thy arms,'
to doubt lor one moment of thy kind
ness ojj truth—if thou art a friend that
hast wronged, in thought or word
or de.-d, tfie spirit that generously con
futed in thee—if thou art a lover, and
hast over given one unmerited pang
‘tojthat true heart which lies«old and
still s >eneath thy* feet, then be sure
unkind look, every ungra
cious word, every gentle action, will -
’ come thronging back upon thy mem
ory, knocking dolefully at thy .soul.
Then be sure that thou vvilt lie down,
sorrowing and repentent, on the grave
and utter the unheard groan, and pour
out the unavailing tear —more deep,
more bitter, because unheard and un
availing.

Two Governor Browns.
A correspondent of the Atlanta In
telligencer, Horn Murfay county, gives
the following intelligence of a Yankee
Governor for Georgia. Wc have seen
other notices of it, but this one, only,
gives him location and an identity
and character, and such as might be
looked for,*when coming from such a
source. It is necessary that Lincoln .
officials should be thieves, swindlers,
or foreigners, or the three combined,
to make a representative worth of his.
Government.
But what of our Governor Brown ?
■ When Alexander the Great vvas.oller
ed an immense amount of treasure
by Barmenio, to divide his.kingdom
with hirn*histbry says he replied the
world could no more bear two sums, f
than Asia two kings, Befhaps our
Gov. Brown will think the same with
regard to the. State having two Guv
ern'or Browns, and dissent fVom tho
partnership in most decided terms by
word and action, if the other Brown
persists in his claims. •
Rumors, which arc not always re
liable, say that the now scat of Govs
ernrnent of Georgia will be located at
“ Big Shanty. 1 '
The Intelligencer’s correspondent
gives this notice of the.new Gover
nor :
“ Tho latter part of last week a i aid
pf 200 Federate went from Adairfevillc
to l'iekcns county, and there arrested
a Mr. Glenn, of Pickens, and two cit
izens of Murray, Mortimorc Peoples
and Wm. Gray. They carried oil
Glenn and Gray, bufrturned loose Beo
ples. They also carried olf six of
Glenn's negroes, his horses, gold, corn
and bacon,* with many oilier little ar
ticles. They started from Glenn’s to
arrest a worthy old.citizen, James Sim
mons, but was fired into by one of Ben
Jordan’s men, and they beat a hasty
retreat, closely pursued by Ben. Jor
' damand forty of his men. They trav
eled 25 miles in the direction of AdajrS
ville, in foifr hours, without looking ,
back. This raid was headed by Lin
coln’s Governor of Georgia, Sherman’s j
former chief of secret scouts. *
It has been said that there is noth
ing in a name, but the truth ol this
ought now to be doubted. A little
Englishman by the name of James
Brown, with more brass, impudence
and sharpness than intellect, came to
Murray county eight or ten years ago,
and married a daughter of Hilaries
Adair, -an honest old citizen of Mur-.
ray county, lie then read law and
was admitted to the bar. Tho last I
knew of him until this Biekens- raid,
Judge D.*A. Walkef sued him . for
collecting money unaccounted for, and
# came hear putting him in jail. '
liis old father-in-law paid oil lliu
claim. He turns up the Governor of
the great Stale ©f Georgia, He noti
fied the people that he controlled that
section of country, and that they had
better act wisely and take the oath,
and all would be right. The soldiers
under Ijis command treated him witli
great deference, and called him nuth
•ing but Governor Brown. tfUvvas ic-
no. no.
ported and believed in parts of
ens and Gilrrior that Governor Brown
the Ist had concluded to imitate his
new issue, and was going to purge the
mountuins'of lories and bushwhackers.
Put when Glenn, as true a man ns
'breallvos, was taken, the rumor dial
out, and the people, with wonder,
awaitftd the unveiling ot the mystc
r,y." '/■} .*■■■
.I'-- ♦,
Hot only Whipped but Disgraced.
'i he Yankee papers are beginning
to find out how much truth there is in
the Hes telegraphed to Washington b) r
Grant and Jiutlcr. I/he latter fdno
liongry is suffering no little under the
whip in tho hands of his friends, and
his men, who were to take Richmond,
arc now charged with arrant cowar
dice in the late battles of the south side.
A correspondent of the Tribune writes
as follows from Puller’s army :
At nine or thereabout, the muskets
began quite a lively-crackle, and tho
- guns opened from the ltofcel position,
flurrying to the seene, 1 fuund tho
enemy had advanced and been re pul n
ted, yet had tho rifle pit in their dc'-
tested possession. The whole of tho
• Ninth Maine, with portions of Fourth
New Hampshire, Fifty-fifth iYmnsyl
vania,* and Ninty-seVenth New York,
were occupying tho rifle pit, tho rcp>
iment named being nearly in the cen
tre'. Tho Rebels charged upon thyni
with their peculiar short lived enthu
siasm and their yell, and were met
firmly, and the position, might have
* been held without difficulty had not
the Ifiiith Maine broken and fled to
the woods, thus permitting the Rebels
to enter the*pit and flank the remain
ing imp meat:;, compel ling thorn to re
tire. The Lieutenants of the jVinth
Maine, who retired without ordeia,
were brought this afternoon before
General Ames, and-by him sent to Gen •
eral-Puller,, who summdrily dismissed
one of them from the service. Pothde
servo punishment,lor this unfortunate
affair Igiscost hundreds ol lives to-day,
and threatens us with severe battles
as the price of holding pur jrosition
The Rebels in the pit, and tho woods
which vet-stand next the Hewlett
House, are ihe twin of appre
hension. w ■ '. '
Wool was brought that the left of
the pit was empty, and soon the 07lh
I'ennsykdnfct was seen advancing
against tlic rifle pit, in the open clears
ing. Their leader had mistaken-or
not followed precisely his orders, and
the Rebels had come in, and sudden
ly they rose and poured upon the 07 th
d, murderous fire of infantry, and they
seemed to fall in swaths. It v/9ta a sad
sight.
Our loss’ today cannot now be cs>
timafrid. In infantry fire they arc
heavy, and probably exceed that of the
enemy.
Some shells of the artillery failed to
explode this afternoon. Otic or two
were examined and found to be filled
with harmless plaster.
