that Hr. Blaine’s panacea for a decaying
commerce is nothing bnt the hair of the

And let tu first consider this expres
sion — Decay of American Commerce.
Could any thing be more startling ? The

manhood. Her resources, although just
opening to development, diatanoa all
parallel on the faoe of the globe. She
can almost feed and clothe tbe world and
fnraleh it in pocket money, both gold and
silver. Never ainoe the oreation was

the eyes of mankind, or indeed, any
thing worthy of a moment’s comparison.
Aad do yon say the commerce of this
country is so dead that it has gone to
decay ? Yes, that proposition is so clear
to the minds of Hr. Blaine and the gen
tlemen to whom he writes, that it is as
sumed as self-evident — indisputable.
Wonderful, amazingf What, with alithe
elements of commerce in onr bands—
itb everything to sell lying about us in
inexhaustible profusion, trade decays?
Tbe fault cannot be in Natnro or in Prov
idence; it can be traced only to ourselves,
It most exist only In onr own follieB and
blunders, by force of which we actually
triumph over the mnmfioence of God to
onr own rain.
And Hr. Blaine’s letter itself famishes
a strong illustration of tbe obstinate and
incorable nature of this infatuation. Re
vive the decayed commeroe says ho by
taxing tbe people to build more steam
ships. Now our trade has been brought
to decay by debt, excessive taxation-
foolish experiments with tbo currency—
but, more than all else, by a system of
so-called protective tariff duties which

A chortle from Handel’s “Creation,”
With a solo by Mias M. Little was sung.
Mies Cornelia Raiford, of Macon, se
lected “Now and Then," and taking
glimpses at the past and present con
trasted the days of the early Republic
and the progress of to-day,displaying con
siderable familiarity with the history ot
onr country; her snbjeot had been
closely studied.
‘ Retrospection” led the hearers through
the halls of memory. Miss Mattie L.
Rhodes, of Maoon, being the guide.
The essay waa read with the earnest
ness and waa fall of pretty phases. Ret
rospection is always a beautiful subjeo ,
and rill feel more or less pleasure in walk
ing among tbe flj were of tbe past, bat in
the hands of the fair senior, it was partic
ularly attractive,

and M. Little. It was delightfully ten

Miss Annie Lon Stubbs told in a grace
ful strain “What girls can do,” describ
ing the true sphere of woman, and ad
vocating her cause in well chosen words
and pretty sentences. The essay was
well rooeived. In it were several figures
of beanty, aud the whole production was
read with appropriate emphasis and ex
cellent modulation.
“Wasted Lives," was tha theme of
Miss Alma Tharp, of Houston eonnty,
and her effort displayed close study of
tha subject, and waa written with more
than usual care. All were urged to me

sheaves of life, to be always np and do

he will find nothing but leaves." It elioi-
tad many oomplimentary remarks.
Oae of the most beautiful produotiona
we have heard from the Wesleyan-stage
was the composition of Miss Jeanne Vil-
Iiplgne, of Maoon, on the snbjeot :
‘Whisperings of the Pines." It was ft
beautifully drawn piotnre of ths fanoy
written in ohoioe verse. The meter
waa morerpexfeot than any similar effoit
we have ever heard. Her reading waa
particularly striking, her voice clear and
bell-like in its tones, and from her first
utterances the andienoe was enohained
and listened with the closest attention
to tho olose. There was a something
about tbe poem whioh was peculiarly at
tractive, and for true elocution, purity of
pronunciation joined with beanty of
thought and softness of expression, took
rank in the van of the best.
*Maoy a Time and Oft," a vocal solo,
waa softly sung by Miss Mamie Little.
The valedictories was read Miss Roberta
F. Smith, cf Thompson. The class
marched from the stage to the seats in
front, tbe fair valedictorian being the
only Senior on tha stage. She addressed
first the citizens, then her schoolmates,
the trustees, faculty and then the gradu
ating class. It was a. remarkably fine
composition, and left the impression that
the awarded honor had been justly
bestowed. We can hardly eay too much
of the beanty, the appropriateness and
excellence of tbe parting words of tbe
gracefnl Senior. They showed a matur
ity of thought, a tenderness of feeling
and bsauty of expression seldom seen
and scarcely to be surpassed, yet free
from the mawkish sentimentality whioh
sometimes mar these farewell composi
tions. There was, too, about her read
ing a sweetness whioh won tin hearts of
her andienoe.

York. .
At half past eight o'clock the Floyd Ri
fles, escorted by the Maoon Volunteers,
marched into Ralston Hall, and were
seated in the parqnette which had been
reseived for the military. The companies
moved like veterans and presented a mar
tial appearance.
The hall wae crowded, not a vacant seat
could be fonnd in the dress circle, and
the over flaw reached to the gallery, fill
ing it comfortably. The interest display
ed showed what a warm spot the RifleB
held in the hearts of onr citizens.

The stage was arranged in quite a war
like manner. Oa either rids was astand
of arms.- In tho center, as if blending
with the-emblems of war, the aymbolB of
peaoe, a vase, rose to view, filled with
choice flowers. On either hand were
other vases also freighted with fragrant
flowers. A number ef flags, some
looking as if they had seen hard
service, floated out from between the
scenery.
On the left, the United States flag—tke
only flag the Rifles ever had before tbe
war, was hang. Next, was the flag.nsed
by the Volunteers before the war,- pre
sented by Miss Bowen, of Savan

port for the month ending this day, the
I6;h:
Tne Rifles had the largest turnout that gSd Site foml&VT“ 3 8 40
ithaebadm three years.
The exercises were opened by tbo roll
performed on the drum by Mr. W. H.
English, who was tie drummer of the
company through the war.
The roll call of 1841, the year in whioh
the oompany was organized, came next
In a claar voice Corporal H. P. Wesoott
called the nam98 of the first members of
the company. Bat five responses were
heard to a long roll Tney were made by
3rd Lientenant B. F. Roes; 3rd Corpo
ral H. P. Weacott and Privates Albert
Mir, Edwin Sanlsbnry and Charles Tay
lor. There are but nine of their first
members now living.
The four others are William Bone, of
Vineville ; Bsrney Corley, of Talbotton;
S. F. Gove, late of Jones county ; and
Hatton P. Redding, ot Atlanta.
Tae roil of 1861 was called by Captain
George F. Cheny, and the responses
were more frequent. The roll call of
Appomattox was next read by Sergeant
John Grimes, belter known in camp as
“Dad," and the few names npon it beto
kened that those who went forth to battle
returned not toroll call on the earth. As
eaoh vetgraa responded to his name a
renndof applause would be given, and
When some familiar name -was oalled,
whose owner was deterred from being
present, the applanae was still generonsly
tendered.
The medal was delivered to the
Company by ex Captain, and now honora
ry member, B. F. Russ, of Jones eonnty,
in a pleasant. talk brimming with* the
reminiscences of the past,
Oolonel Thomas Hardeman, Jp., waa
next introduced and for an hour and
thirty minute*' held his audience spell
bound by his utterances.
Round after ronnd of applause were
given the speaker as the. words of glow
ing patriotism were sounded by his lips.
The address was polished and fall ot
beautiful sentences. It swept through
the halls of the past and pointed ont the
moat beautiful life piotnrea hanging there
connected with the history ot the Rifles
and tbe Macon Volunteer*.
The speech was ths most eloquent we
have ever heard from Colonel Hardeman,,
and it found a warm, responsive thrill in
the hearts of every one present who wore
the grey or battled for the stars and bare.
The medal, at its dose, was presented
to Corporal Davia and received in behalf
of that gentleman by Colonel Clifford
Anderson.
Colonel Anderson’s -response was also
fill of patriotic terror and eloquence,
and was frequently applauded. He did
himself an! the oooasion full justice
This oonelnded the exereUee. Colonel
Geo. 8. Jones was master of oerebomes
The occasion will'ever be remembered
by every one present and will be treas
ured in the mind of every Rifle. It was
a grand occasion fur this gallant body of
men whose history is so full of bright
passages.
