SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 5, 1873. Under a sweetin apple tree, In a deep shade in the garden, The sarpent told her when and how To make a Dolly Varden. THE DEAD. “Resolved, That the members af the Executive Committee of the Grand Army of the Republic do hereby give notice that, May 30 being set apart by the Grand Army 7 of the Republic as a memorial day, and the grounds at Arlington being opened on that spe cial day 7 by order of the Quartermas ter-General of the Army 7 of the Grand Army of the Republic for the pur pose of strewing flowers upon and decorating the graves of the deceased Union soldiers, any attempt by 7 friends of the rebel dead to strew flowers on their graves will be re garded as an interference with the programme of the day 7 , and will not be tolerated.” The above is one of a series of reso lutions passed by 7 a number of ex home guards, Who now, like political barnacles, cling to the ship of State in Washington as clerks in the different departments. And they call them selves the ‘‘Grand Army of the Re public,” as the three tailors of Tooley street called themselves “We, the people of England,” in addressing tho King. A more unmanly, mean and cowardly resolution was never passed by 7 even a pack of political hummers than this: and, if we were not fully 7 acquainted with this mysti cal organization, we might raise our hands in holy horror and blush for the manhood of our race and the ex soldiers of the army! The Grand Army of the Republic was organized seven years ago in Illi nois, and the intention of its founders was to make it a charitable associa tion, to which soldiers of both parties could belong and mutually aid in the care of those left destitute by the war. it worked well enough for a few years, and then old soldiers began to tight sliv of it, for they found that it was made the machine to elevate po litical soldiers into office; and during the last four y r ears its ranks have been depleted by 7 good men, and now it is controlled completely by 7 these sol dier politicians who are principally distinguished by their ignorance of war and tlieir familiarity with the strategy of polities and the counting of election returns. The whole “Grand Army” does not number throughout the entire Union 20,000 men, though fifteen hundred thousand soldiers were mustered out of the Union ser vice at the close of the war. We know whereof we speak, know the men, their ritual oft changed, their indi vidual names and records, and in the name of the true men and brave, who fought for what they deemed right, we hereby 7 denounce the organization known as “The Grand Army” as a political fraud, an aggregation of bummers who, fearing the rebel liv ing, now like hyenas, gather to snarl above the dead. If we had been Con federates this would seem harsh to Northern ears, but we fought for the Union, starved for it, and did our du ty as God gave us the light. Nay, more, wc* commanded, in its purity, the largest department of this grand army, and feel authorized in saying that the dregs that now constitute it are the cowards and poltroons of war. and tlie repeaters, snobs and little politicians of peace. They fear trouble if the friends of the Confederate dead gather on the 30th of May to decorate the graves of the fallen? The poor fools, they may have women and children to oppose them ; there would be no trouble if men stood in their front. It is a lie to call this ghoul-like res olution an exponent of Northern feel ing, as it would be to call those cow ards representatives of the civiliza tion of our age. It misrepresents both; and knowing this in our hearts, we take this means to denounce it.— The dead of both armies sleep side by side on scores of battle fields, where they laid down their lives fqr what they deemed duty; and the fallen warriors were only foes when they had weapons in their hands. They are sleeping by the white shores of the Gulf, and nature, in her ample charity, at the bidding of the Great Father, forgets the strife of the past, and binds the graves in flowering vine and verdant sod, where mistak ed brothers sleep side by side. The skeleton forms of daring men rock ever in harmony to the ceaseless pul sations of the ocean, along that shore which each deemed to be his coun try7’s sacred strand. Along the banks of tbe Father of Waters, under cot tonwood and cypress, the past foes sleep, lulled by His requiem, and there they will rest till the assembly of the mystic angel calls them to the pres ence of the Great Captain of all, where each must give an account, not of what he did, but what he deemed his duty. Through the hills of Geor gia, where Johnston fortified and Sherman flanked, the flowers to-day grow in common on their graves, and none can judge whether the form be low wore the blue or the gray. Along the Tennessee and Cumberland, and north by the waters of the historic James and classic Potomac, nature is now decking their graves, and the spring birds sing their songs of peace above the dead. By streamlet and in jungle they are lying—men who made the greatest sacrifice for princi ple; and the mountains whereon they sleep will have crumbled to the | plain, and the rivers by which they fell will have dried, ere the sto ry of their mutual heroism dies out I or the result of their daring ceases to affect mankind. Shame upon this fraud that calls itself the “Grand Ar my” ! It is a humbug and a lie, and its organization is selfish and corrupt! Welcome the day when only the he roism of our common brothers will be remembered, and when North and South we can imitate nature by our common graves, and kneel with chaplets by the mounds of men who dared to do their duty. — Columbus Fnquifer. The Richmond Enquirer well re marks that consideing the cheapness of newspapers, it is almost unaccount able that they are not to be found in every household in which there is even the plainest education. They are widely circulated, it is true, amoug people of almost all classes and condition in life; but the won der is that there should be a family, a mechanic, a merchant, or anybody, in fact, either in the cities and towns, j or in the country, who does not sub scribe to a newspaper. “You can’t do that again,” said the pig to the boy who cut his tail off. From the New York World.] A NEGRO BAPTIZING IN MIS SISSIPPI. The ceremonies had already begun ; when I arrived. A negro preacher, assisted by two attendants who only appreciated the importance of their position, stood in the edge of the stream, and one by one the candid ates, or “seekers,” as the negroes have it, descended to the water from a tent on the slope above. The sa cred formula was pronounced over each ones then came a little splash as £he sinner was “buried” a moment m baptism, and then that shrill and, to me, almost terrifying shriek which constitutes an orthodox religious ‘shout” was heard as the regenerate darkey emerged from the water and was led back shrieking and strug gling to the shore, where the older “brethren” and “sisteren” were wait ing to receive him. As soon as the preacher had pro nounced bis formula the whole as sembly, led by a magnificent bass voice, set up one of these wild, weird negro choruses, which, once heard, can never tie forgotten. The music continued till the next candidate was about to be immersed, and then ceas ed only for a moment to rise again as soon as the preacher’s voice was imshed. Those who have never heard a chorus of this sort, don’t know what music is. Such a magnificent volume of sound, such a grand roil of human voices, as some favorite strain such as “Let’s go down to the water,” or “Stand on the walls of Zion,” came surging and swelling over the river, never greeted-my ears before, it beggars all description. The grand organ at Cologne is but a penny whis tle to it; the Boston Jubilee but a piping of sparrows. There was not a single false note, not a slip in time or tune, as the wonderful chorus came swelling over the water, making the very heavens ring with melody. All four parts (tenor, bass, alto, soprano) were carried in such perfect harmo ny that it was as if one mighty voice was hymning its praise to heaven.— How they manage it is a mystery; not one of all that sable multitude was acquainted with even the first rudiments of music, yet no trained orchestra ever kept more perfect time. We kept our station on the raft for over an hour, while some thirty “seekers” were converted into “pro fessors,” and then, at the suggestion of my friend, proceeded further down the stream to have a nearer view of the ceremony. I was sorry afterward that I had done so, for all the solem nity of the occasion immediately de parted. Some of the gestures of the negroes as they came up out of the water were ludicrous in the extreme, and their language often irreverent, even blasphemous. Negroes consid er some violent physical demonstra tion a necessary evidence of .the va lidity of their conversion; indeed one old woman informed me that she “never had kno wed nobody to come through all right without they went into a trance.” The effect of the music was decid edly spoiled by too close proximity. The voices which had sounded so grand and sonorous from a distance, were harsh and coarse close by, while a distinct hearing of the words did not contribute by any means to the grandeur of the music. Who, for in stance,. could repress a smile at the following, though sung to afuost ex quisite melody: I weep, I moan, what make I moan so slow ? I wonder if a-Zion traveller has gone along before ? Mary and Martha, feed my lambs, Feed my lambs, feed my lambs; Mary and Martha, feed my lambs, Settin’ on tie golden altar. There is another specimen, the ef fect of which I leave to the reader’s imagination: I meet my soul at de bar of God, 1 heerd a might bumber; It was my sin fell down to hell Just like a clap ’o thunder. The creeds of the two African churches in this place it would puz zel the brain of an Athanasius him self to formulate. They shout like the Methodists, immerse with the Baptists, have godfathers and god mothers, and observe Easter and Good Friday with the Roman Catho lics and Episcopalians, and observe various fetish practices besides, so that, if the truth is with any sect, Christian or Pagan, they stand a pret ty fair chance of being iu the right sometimes. Curious Story About a Hawk. —A curious incident occurred a few days since a short distance from this city. One of our well-known mer chants had gone out on a visit to a friend, at whose house there was a bright little boy, and one day, to please the child, he manufactured a very large kite, and as the wind was strong enough, the kite was raised at once. After it had gone up nearly half a mile, a large crowd of country people collected to admire it, as such a magnificent toy had never been seen in that section before. While the spectators were admiring it, a very large hawk was seen to fly slow ly out of a neighboring grove and go directly toward the kite. The hawk approached within a few feet of the strange looking object, and the cir cled about under it for, perhaps, five minutes, when he flew just above it and again circled around several times. Suddenly ho hovered direct ly over the kite, and after looking at it intently for a short time, darted down warn, and striking the paper, passed directly through the kite, coming out on the under side,. Af ter this strange experience, which no doubt puzzled the hawk vastly, he flew off a short distace for reflec tion, but still keeping the kite in view. Not being disposed to give it up so, he quickly returned to the charge, and this time fastened on the long string of rags that were used as a tail to the kite, which he tore and scattered in the air in a savage man ner. Finding, however, no resist ance on the part of the kite, lie be came disgusted or scared, and flew away toward the woods from whence he came. The gentleman says that whenever the hawk made an" attack he would retreat a little, as if he ex pected the strange bird was going to return the assault. —Baltimore Ameri can. An Elmira paper has this heading; “Another Holocaust!” “Two Hun dred People Thrown into a River!” Holocaust means destruction of the whole lot by fire. Must have been hot water in that river.

The best elocutionists pronounce the “g” in such words as pudding. “Home! sweet, sweet home!” as the bee said, when he entered his hive.

The first time it will cost you three ecus; the second time fifty dollars. A clergyman lately said that the modern young ladies were not the daughters of Sham and Ilam, but of heiu and sham. The Stark County (Indiana) Ledg er man wants to trade that paper for two swarms of bees. So says the Brooklyn Eagle. The peculiarity of a Peoria ghost is. that it nightly silently steals away with a scuttle of coal and two sticks oficord wood. The Independent mentions an “oc casional contributor”—a lady—who is not ashamed to earn her living as cook and housemaid, working for month’s wages. A little farm well tilled, A little wife well willed, A little paper well filled. Those assessed for the Gazette had j better return their little bills to this j office and get a receipt therefor, or they’ll never get another—or a paper either. So says the Yonkers (N. Y.) Gacette. —“Blest arc those Win >9© blood and judgment are so well com mingl’d Thai they are not a pipe for fortune's linger To sound what pipe she please.” Before bustles came into fashion | there was a chance for newspapers to | display enterprise, but now all of them are behind in tlieir make up. Said a woman to a physician who was weighing two grains of calomel fora child : “Dinna be so mean wi’ it —it is for a poor bairn.” “Silence! silence!” cried the judge, in great wrath. “Here we have de cided half a dozen cases this morning, and I have not heard a word of one of them.” A lawyer critic caught the words' uttered by the witches in Macbeth : J “A deed without a name!” “A deed without a name!” exclaimed the lawyer. “VVhv, by the statutes, it is void.” There is so much ague in Lafayette, Ind., that when the regular hour for shaking comes on, strangers think the city has been visited by an earth quake. A queer Delawarean, by his will, divided his property among his chil dren, and left his bones to his enemies “to make whistles of.” The New Orleans Citizen counts that day lost, whose setting sun sees not some deed of riot done, unless lie has bought a lottery ticket. A Tennessee man wrote his will on a paper, and passed it through pro bate as well as any other will, though a little unhandy about filing. A Springfield boy, five years of age, was knocked down by a rooster, a day or two ago, and had his re venge at the dinner-table the next day. While a Texas man was trying to anchor his mule to a stake, recently, the animal managed to get the rope around the man’s neck, and then ran away at the top of his speed. The widow wants to seil the mule. This may be a trifle personal, but it’s the way they put things out West. A St. Louis editor, in speaking of a brother ink-slinger, says, “He is young yet*, but he can sit at his desk and brush the cobwebs from the ceil ing with his ears.” A malicious Terre Hautentot sub stituted a paper full of white beaus for the package of gum drops which another young man was going to car ry to his Angelina, and the poor fel low was kept busy until 3 o’clock in the morning trying to explain mat ters. A sentimental youth swallowed the postage stamp on a leter from “her,” because he thought the dear girl had licked it. It made him deathly sick. The reason was, that her big brother, who chewed tobac co, had put the stamp on tDo letter. The legend on the picture generally exhibited in saloons, where business is conducted on a cash basis, is alter ed in the West to suit the times, and now reads, “Public trust is dead; back pay killed him.” —Wink at her tenderly— The girl over there!

The Augusta, Ky., Chronicle gives the following warning: “Delin quent subscribers should not permit their daughters to wear this paper for a bustle. There being so much due on it there is danger of their taking cold.” An amateur snake-fancier, whose neighbors complain of him for keep ing boa-constrictors on the roof of his house, defends himself by saying that he can put any sort of tiles he pleases on his roof, and that he perfers rep tiles. f The editor of Appleton’s Journal, speaking of the excavations that are being made at Jerusalem, and of the success that is being met with in bringing Solomen’s Temple once more to the light of the day, says: “Already it is ascertained that the tradition that that mighty offering to the God of Israel was built with out hammer, or axe, or any iron tool, is correct; and that within its walls a multitude of more than two hundred thousand souls might worship togeth er.” THE Standard Sz Express Is every TiIUUSI>AY MuUXI Sv.
