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. Washington Ii cing. + + + 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. ri; 4. *»■’♦ " Ou the authority of a Yankee captured l»y our pickets below here, wo learn that in tho late explosion of the torpedoes in tended by the Yankees for tho Trent riv cf,- forty-one whites at*f sixteen negroes were killed, and thirteen wounded —muk ing seventy in all.
