to the memory of the immortal Jasper,
who fell at tho siege of Savannah, Octo

served and oarefally filed away as a fit

first war for Independenae, and the glo
rious deeds of a gallant though hnmbie
patriot, who died fer the liberty which is
cow our heritage. Tho Senator was
□ever happier, and his words rang
oat like clarion notes, holding

Mr. filollor Beads has lately confcriln
tod to the Boyol Geologloal Sooiety of
England a paper in which it is deolsred
that the elimination of the calcareous
matter row found in all the sedimentary
strata iqust have oocnpied at least G00,-
000,000 of years. This, therefore, rep
resents tho minimum age of tho world.
The author infers that the formation [of
the Lanrentian, Cambrian and Silnrian
strata must have oocnpied some 200,000,-
000 of yoare; the Old Eed Sandstone, the
Carboniferous, and the Poikilitic systems
another 200,000,000; and all the other
ctratathe remaining 200,000.009. Mr.
Beade is, therefore, led to believe that
geological timo has been enormonaly in
excess of the limits urged by certain
physicists; and that it has boen ample to
allow fossil the changes which, on the
hypothesis of evolution, havo occurcd in
the organio world.
A good old ago for the globe, and yet
wo are disposed to believe that it don’t
tell half tha story. The Creator never
made anything, mind or matter, simply
to destroy it. Matter is as imperishable
as mind, and is simply changed in form,
Hence we need not foir to date “the be
ginning” at any period, however remote.
We ara not likely to antodato it. Nor
need we fear to post-date tho world’s fu
ture existence. For, although the ele
ments may melt with fervent heat, and
the earth, also, and all the works therein
be burned up, yet it will be only to assume
sow and moro beantif al shapes ont of the
came material subslanos. At least, this
is our opinion ; for which we shall charge
nothing. Therefore, all the alleged geo
logic and ethnological discoveries which

The Jasper Centennial Oration
ol General John B. Gordon, be-
Hvered October 9, 1879.
Gentlemen of the Jcuper Monumental
Aisoeiation and Fellow Cititine: Your re
quest that I should represent yon in the
imposing ceremonies of this hour came to
me with tho forco of an authoritative
command. Other engagements wero re
linquished, that this duty might be dis
charged. The novelty, as well as the el
evated and patriotic purposes of tho oc
casion, must invest it with a peculiar at
traction to us all. What is it that brings
together this vast concourse oE people
from this and sister States? It is not to
celebrate the triumphs of genius in civil
life, nor to do honor to some great mili
tary chieftain. To no philosopher or
sage; to no lawgiver liko Lycargus, or
Solon or Alfrei; to no conjuror like Bo
naparte, or C<o3ar or Wellington; to no
founder of a state like Bomala3 or Wash
ington, tut to a modest priv-to in the
ranks of the colonial army, do wo pay
tribute to-day. It is not your purpose,
however, by this ceremonial, to mar in
any degree the refrain which now fills the
world with tho deeds of her titled chief
tains, and which makes the names of
such men as Washington and Andrew
Jackson, and Lse, the true echoes of the
world’s highest glory. Bat yon propose
for once to dsBoend to the ranks, and lg
noring the insignia of place and power,
to rear a shaft which shall commemorate
the courage, the patriotism, and tho vir
tue that invests with a peculiar charm
and dignity the life sacrifices of a private
soldier.
In this connection I wish again to in
quire why, on this spot and upon this day
there is assembled with a common im
pulse thi3 almost countless multitude ?
Why thi3 universal tribute to Sergeant
Jasper 9 It is tree that in his life and
death he illustrated all those excellencies
whioh sparkle brightest in the crown of
virtue; but thousands of yonr own coun
trymen in the lato war and in tho wars
which preceded it havo lived as devoted
lives and met aa heroic deaths. It can
not therefore be solely due to tho fact
that he so nobly discharged his duty, nor
because ho refused the commission ten-
land, who blended in one eharacter the
charm of romanoeand the power of phi
losophy, who combined the lire and chiv
alry of David, with almost the calm
wisdom of Solomon, was educated in
Irish halls of learning and drew
from Irish polity bis maxims and institu
tions of polliioal wisdom. Edmund Barke
and Catraa and Sheridan were Itiahmon.
What country, what age, eta boast of
each a trio. Barke, the fearless friend
of American freedom, who was nnrival-
Ied In the profusion of his gifts, whose
collossal form rises in peerless height
above bis fellow men; who, from ths
platform of politio3 swept with his intel
lectual vision the vast field of philosophy,
of EOienco, of literature, of laws and of
eloquence. Currau, who even in his old
age, when the frosts of years had blight
ed many of those Sowers or fancy, whioh.
biuOutfd with perennial beauty, drew
from Madame Da Stael the declaration
that ho was the most gifted man sh9 had
aver known, who was the Shakespeare of
the bar, the trne son of genius, and heir
of its highest inspiration. Sheridan,
whoee eloquence Byron deolsred
"Was the thunder—the avenging rod i
Tbe wrath—the delegated voice ol God
Which shook the nations through his lips and
biased
Till vanquished Senates trembled 03 they
praised.”
What does England not owe to Ireland
for the gift of each men as these? Wha.
does France not owe to Ireland for
Cavaignac, who was called in our day to
the head of the French Republic and
whoso popularity never yielded till it
oame in contact with that of a Bonaparte
—a name that holds the hearts and im
aginations of Frenchmen with a spell
more potent than than the wizard’s
wand? What does America not
owe to Ireland for the monuments
of Irish industry in her railroads
and canals, and for Irish contributions to
bar and bench and battlefield; for Ja9por
and Montgomery, martyrs to Amerioan
independence; for Shields and the Irish
born soldiers who in every war followed
the flag of this Bepublie? What does
the South not owa to Ireland for enrich
ing her soil with the blood of Cleburne,
and her literature with the genius of
Byan, that gifted Irishman who is at
dered by Governor Butledge and uttered I onoe the thunderbolt of oratory and rain-

those immortal words: “Adversity has
been my schoolmaster, Liberty my school
mistress; let me serve my country as an
humble and devoted laborer in the oause
of freedom.” It cannot be because ho
leaped ths ramparts and saved the flag of
South Carolina when shot from its stand
ard; not becec ■* he died upon the earth-
works of th‘ dry, whore he had borne,
while blscdi- g, tho colorsof his country
—for ethers tuiugh rarely, have like him,
refused the honor of rank and responsibil
ities of office, preferring to servo their
country in privato station; others in the
samo war and other ware have forgotten
self, braved dangers, faced death un-
blanched, torn flags from the enemy’s
hands, planted thero own upon hostile
breastworks or gone down at their base,
cementing with blood the monuments
which patriotism bnills with the bodies
other slain.
Sufficient, therefore, as are the promi
nent faots in Jasper’s life to command onr
respect and homage, we must find in oth
er and moro philosophic considerations
the reasons for this profound and uei-
bow of poesy; whose thoughts breathe
with the very life of troth, and whose
words like sparks from holy altars fcnrn
in our bosoms with immortal fin? Wnat
does liberty not owo to Ireland for Fitz
geratd, for Wolf Tone, for John Mitchel,
for Francis Meagher, for O’Brian, O’Con
nell and Bobert Emmet? Thcngh heroes
of a lost came, the names of these pa
triots ate forever associated with the
names of Hsmpden, of Sidney, of Bra
ins, and of Washington.
It is fitting that Americans should build a
monument to a son of.Irtlind. Itia espe
cially appropriate that it should be built by
Georgians to Jasper; that it shoald stanc,
hero among tha people for whose freedom
bo died; hereon mo soil that drank bis blood;
hereby tho ocean whose waters wash either
shoro, and whose ceaseless throbs symbolize
the boating of the great heart or the two
peoples, pulsating in common and deathless
sympathies.
Tne third and last reason which I shall
mention for the remarkable interest of this
occasion, ia tho devotion of the people to
the cause which Jasper so gloriously served.
It is not only an impressive testimonial of
the gratitude of the country to Jasper, but a
veraal interest in the commemoration of I spontaneous manifestation of the peculiar
his life and services.
There seem to be three causes for the
general homage paid to the memory of
this patriot, to which I invite yonr at
tention. The first is that ho was a pri
vate eoldier, and ono of the most illus
trious representatives the world ever saw
of those self-sacrificing men, who in all
armies fill its ranks, suffer its bitterest
privations and bear the brant of the war.
The heart of nmveraal humanity will re
spond to this day’s work as an act of
sympathy felt by the South with the cause
of constitutional and local government for
which he fought and fell. It cannot bo sift-
ccsefally denied that at ths South, the cause
of Icoal government haa a champion in al
most overy citizen. The peculiar institu
tions which for halt a century beforo the
lato war had isolated her fiom sympathies
of other sections, and the mournful tacts of
her history since that war. have served to
wed tho South in indissoluble bonds to this
doctrine of local government—a doctrine
which all the colonies anterior to the estab
lishment of our independence, and all tho
justice, not only to Jasper himself but to I States for a long period subsequent to that

uously represents, and as this column rises
on tho spot where Jasper fell, it will pro
claim to f&tnre ages your appreciation of
tho self-abnegation, the daring courage
event, held to be essential to the freedom of
the people. But tho unhappy conflict be

dency to bring this cardinal dootrino of free
government into temporary disrepute. I

tered graves.
I rejoice that Georgia is to baild such
a monument, and I thank yon, my coun
trymen, that yon have thought me worthy
to represent yon in such a oauso. The
truest heroes of this earth are the men
who, in any pph9re, serve and suffer,
labor and endure, in the oause of human-
lty, or justice or truth, without the hope
of worldly glory. Tho men who, for
troth's sake, endure persecution are he
roes; the men who for hnmanity’y sake
brave pestilence are heroes, and the men
who for liberty’s sake face death, as it
thnnders in artillery or speeds on tho
ballet's wing, are grand heroes, and the
less prompted by the pride of offico or
the hope of distinction, the grander that
heroism becomes. God in His P/ovi
denoe mingles good with all the ills which
befall man. Persecutions and pestilcnco
are evils, but not wholly cvil3, for they
farnlsh tho theatre for the exhibition of
the loftiest courage and demonstrate how
grand a being man may besoms when
forgetful of self and coDseorated to duty.
War is an evil, bat sot wholly an evil,
for it aronaes and inspires; it awake3
from slumber the mightiest energies and
manliest virtues;
tion is to be disregarded, the Ht&tea to be
disorganized and liberty cease to be regar
ded as a heritage of American citizens. It is
true that the opposing theories—tho national
and tbo local or State government theories,
as in thia connection tuey may be termed—
have been in conflict for noirly a century.
The controversy might continue forever
without involving any serious change of the
government or imperilling tho liberties of
the people, 11' waged in the epirit and with
the same moderation that marked its pro
gress for the first seventy years of oUr na
tional existence; for never until those latter
years was tho integrity or independence or
sovereignty of the Statea called m question.
Rut so radical and revolutionary are the
changes now demanded; so far advanced
from former positions aro tho advocates of
a groat consolidated and imperial republic;
so fixed seems the purpose to subordinate
thoStstestotho will of a majority of Con
gress, irrespective of tbo Constitution, that
the ability of the people to preeervo their
rights of local government becomes a ques
tion of momentous consequence. I say mo
mentous becxdse there never has boon, there
never will bo, a question submitted, the re
lations of the immortal spirit to eternity ex,
cepted, in which ia involved so much of weal
or woe to those fifty millions of freemen.
On this Centennial occasion, and in con-
i with the question of local govern-
oonqueat, and ths'extension or French em
pire over Europe, they lost sight of tneir
own liberties, and repudiated the republic
at the dictation of their imperial master.
It was so with Great Britain. Through
centuries of bloody conflict her people had
secured Magna Charta, and established con
stitutional government; yet in the mad pur
pose to increase an imaginary national im
portance, they sought to subjugate their
brethren in Amerioa, who were bound
to them by kindred blood and loyal attach
ment; who, like themselves, were English
men, entitled to every prerogative of British
freedom; who, in their efforts to preserve
that freedom, bad complained and petition
ed, and romonstrated until the universe
grow weary. But for the successful resis
tance or tbs colonies, that ape-tste genera
tion of Englishmen, intoxloated by the vani
ty of aggrandizing Britain would have de
stroyed their own as well as our liberties by
the infinite folly of donying to Englishmen
in America tho protection and rights guaran
teed to them ty tho English Constitution.
Are there cyoles of sunshine and ofaladiw
In tho march of human events? Is liberty
bom to grow and flourish for a lime, only to
bsloet in recurring seasons of passion for
natural dominion? Axe we, too, so eosn to
tiro of liberty and grow weary of local self-
government? Axe we to shut our eyos and
close onr ears to the teachings of all hietory,
and to follow the blind passion of national
grandeur, and thus destroy tho rights of tbo
Htates, and with them tao liberties of iho
people, in the vain effort to increaso the glo
ry by centralizing the power of this great re
public? Let ns hope not. Let ns hope that
the Amerioan people will heed the voice
which £p9iks to them in tones of solemn
warning from the experience of all these
nations. Let ns hope that the passions en
gendered by oar ouamitions civil war, and
the diitrnet toward the Sonth incident to
that war, may not famish the excuse, nor
beoome potential ageneies for the destruc
tion of those principles of government for
which Washington fought and Jasper died.
Let me not bo mieanderstood. It is no
put of m; purpote to magnify unduly the
rights ot the States, nor would our people
deprive the General Government of one
right or power which the Constitution has
conferred. Wo believe that the most luting
| national good, as well as the greatest nation
al strength is to bo attained by an unfalter-
iog adherences to the rights of tho States on
the one hand, and the fullest recognition of
all tho prerogatives of the General Govern
ment on the other. In other words, under
onr form of government, and With our vast
territory and conflicting local interests, the
grants and limitations of the fundamental
law must be recognized. Tho Constitution
mast bo the omnipotent and sole arbiter,
from which there is :'no appea’.
Nor do I seek by reference to tho Sonlh to
detraot in any degree from the crodit due to
able statesmen of the North for their brave
defense of this colonial and constitutional
doctrine of free, nnlrammeled looal govern
ment. I do not claim for the South any mo
nopoly of virtues comprehended in the terms
patriotism or Republicanism. I am not of
tbn>e who believe that lovo of country or
fidelity to the Constitution is bonndod by
State iine3or confined to sections. Would
that such obliquity of judgment and all son
tional bigotry and pission and prejudice
could be b&uiehed from this country, and
that a broad patrioliim-broad as therepnb-
lio itself— could possess ths hearts of the
entire American people. Would that he
South—no longer the subj sot of distrust—
could contemplate with s. generous prido the
mighty material development of tho groat
North and Weet, and tho grand industries
and achievements which contribute to tho
high civilization of the great East. Would
that the West and East and North, with a
magnanimity and sense of jnstica bifiitirg a
great people, conld cherish as a common her*
itage of a common country, the history, tbo
honor, the courage, the patriotism, the fidel
ity and the horoio endurance of the stricken
South. God speed the day when the maxim
“this is my country”—all my country, overy
section, every titate, every sere of soil over
which the flag of tho ropublio floats—shall
bo embraced by every American freeman —
not only a a a geographical, historical and po
litical fact, but aa a living, potential, inspir
ing sentiment.
Americans rccognizs but throe groat
epochs in all tho past. Tho first is tho Oro-
ation, whon man. fresh from tho hands of
God, eteod the crowning glory of his
works.
Tho second is tho birth of the Redeomsr,
when angelio legions canopied tho Syrian
skies and sang of peace and good wifi to

Tha third is tho great monumental eirent
of history; tho birth of a froa people; iho
coneecratianof a now continent to constitu

ernment of a vast sisterhood of • self-con

yot roitraining tho poworof tho General
Government, constituted by all and for
all.
Tho sncccaiful (resUtanes of the mother
country by tho American people would of
itaelf been a memorable evoat. Tho estab
lishment of a government on tho principles
of ths English Constitution or upon the prin
ciples of a consolidated ropublio would per
haps have been a natural evont; but the
successful resistance by the colonies in their
capacity of independent powers, and tho or-
g-.nizition of a republic composed cf these
sovereignties unified in interest, but inde
pendent iu aotion within their spheres, was
tho highost attainment inhuman govern

shall havo finished the task to which yonr
partiality has assigned me.

and fame and chivalry must live while h's-

tion; or to nso a trite bnt perhaps moro
expressive figure, war is a furnace in
which men are tried, and of all those
who are tested by its fires the private
soldier must endure its hottest and fierc
est flames. How sublimely unselfish is
with Gfoat Britain; then to the pormauent
separation and independence ct tho colo

of tho complaints of onr fathers was tho as

ciedings of tho convention which adopted it,
as well as ths language of the Constitution

The tenth amendment, reserving to ths
States all powers not expressly delegated to
the General Government, which stands to
tho Constitution liko a posteriori clausa to a
will explaining the meaning of tbe instru
ment, is also an argument sgaicst tho cen
tralism of power, which was an object of so
much dreed to the framers of tbo govern
ment. Tho lacgiiago of tbo preamble to Ik
resolution submitting tbo tenth amendment,
is an argumtnt, and an overwhelming argu
ment; b.cause it is declirod in that preamble
that this tenth amendment was submitted
bsetose the States desired to avoid a mis
construction of tho Constitution; bscauso
the States desired to prevent an abuse of
tho powers of the Constitution; and becauao
the States desired ad Jitional “declaratory

Another source of tha peculiar interest
which invests tho nemo of Jasper is to
be found in the fact that he was an Irish
man; that he did not permit the mourn
fnl state infiioted by Great Britain upon , ^ - .
his own country and its people to detar I tuent. The laeguago of tbo proamole to the
him from enlisticg in the cause of the

ting and apparently invincible power.
As the chosen organ of tbe Jasper Mon
umental Aesooiation, I invito the Irish-
Amtricans and tho patriots of Ireland
everywhere to regard the column which
shall hero be erected to Jasper as a mon
ument also to tho spirit of resistance to
tyranis, which though baffisd in Iroiaud
and v.ctoricus in America, is olill older j warn us of the danger of losing individual
and os enduring in Irish as in Amerioan
hearts. Ireland and Irishmen in evozy
quarter of the globe, wherever they
breathe the vital air, will rise up with
one accord to do honor to the principles
of freedom for which that peoplo battled
through centuries of defeat; for whioh
Jasper fell and to which this moenment
is to be reared. Few nations that havo
lived in history dessrvo more riohly than
liberty while sot-king to Increase tho national
power and eabince the national glory. The
rate of tbo ancient republic! and or tho re
public of Franca, and tho doom which tho
great Gladstone fears may befall English

The Waites Caught Him.—When the y

little caroffe marked off on the sides so as
to show exactly how many glasses are taken
out. When you come to pay, the garcon has
only to look at the canffe, and tbe amount
remaining tells how much has been need.
This gave on ingenious gentleman an idea.
He would drink three petits verres and then
ponr in water so that it would appear he had
bat one. He thought.no one observed the

After two or three days this customer
found tho brandy vory feeble, and he called

with this brandy?”
“It is tbe same, sir.”
“That oinnot be. Day before yesterday it

proved at the trial differed from the fore

though blue, had a narrow white list
around her, and, secondly, the left ear
boro the swallow iork, and the right the
smooth crop. Held that the narrow white
list did not conflict with tho general de
scription a3 to color given in the indict

varied materially from those alleged,
and for this reason the prisoner was im
properly convicted. Though it was un

The aeoond day in Savannah was more
quiet than the one proceeding. While
there was an ample amount of amuse
ment, it was for the most part ont of the
olty and many of the visitors either took
shipping to Tybee, or went to tho Scheut-
zenfeat Park bsibsene, or took a jaunt by
rail to the Isle of Hope. This latter
point proved an isle of false hope, as the
majority of the crowd that did go ont
arrived too late to see the regatta start,
and besides there waa no amusement ex
cept watching a long drawn ont rifle ocn
test.
At night the city was again a place of
gaiety. Pinafore at the Theatre had re
tired, and the place where the decks had
been and whore sweet little Buttercup
and the rank razing Ralph had fretted
away the fragments of the hour the eve
ning before, had been usurped by the
“Old Guard,” a very pretty drama. At the
Masonic Hall, however Pinafore was in
fall blast, while the average citizen who
dwell in the neighborhood was inclined
to say blast the Pinafore. Savannah
has certainly had an epldemio of tho op
era. Every boot iblack whistles Pinafore
airs, as ho encompasses with hi* ebon
brilliance the periphery of the average
pedestal. Tho street oar conductor hums
them a3 he collects fares, and the dri
vers ply the lash to the tune of “hardly
ever.” The nurses, as if by a unanl.
mous vote, trundle tbe baby carriages
tlong the street* as they softly matter,
“He’ll remain an Englishman.’
We went out to the Golf road depot to
ascertain when this extra train would
leave, and found that the boss clerk was
seeking oblivion] for care by remarking
that he had “important information” to
the inevitable Pinafore musio. We en
deavored to esoape and went to the Isle
of Hopo and fonnd tbe station keeper
vigorously engaged in an attaok on “his
sisters and his consins and his aunts.”
We learned from a friend who had
undertaken tho investigation for us, that
every saloon keeper at the Island was
engaged in the same delightfal occupa
tion. There was no esoapiog and so
with patience wo were oompelled to stand
it.
A very unfortunate occurrence took
place in the afternoon by whioh a mem
ber of the ThomaBvills Gnards lost bis
life. It seemsMr. Hansel],from that place]
had bad a quarrel with a young man, but
was prevented from having a difficulty
with him by a Mr, Brooks. A little la<
ter, Mr. Brooks oame down from dinner
and accidentally pushed against Hansel!,
when the latter drew his pistol and shot
Brooks below the eye.
Tho pistol was so near that the face
was blackened with the powder from the
discharge. The yonng man who did
the ehooting ran bnt was promptly
pursued and captured by citizens and
taken before a magistrate. The wounded
eoldier boy died, wo understand, at six
o’clock in the evening. Both were mem
bers of tho same company, tho cue do
ing the shooting, however, was not in his
nniform. This was tho only serious
casualty which cam9 under notice.
