Gordon’* Centennial Ora- tion. At the earliest, opportunity wo give in ealenso the soul-stirring and trnly elo qnent address of Senator Gordon, at the ayingof the corner stone of a monament to the memory of the immortal Jasper, who fell at tho siege of Savannah, Octo bar Gib, 1779. It will riohly repay the mo3t careful perusal and shoald be pre- served and oarefally filed away as a fit ting memento of the trying days of the 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 spall bound the vast multitude who had aessmbled to hear kirn. Truly- Georgia has cause to be prond of her noblo war rior statesman. It has been impossible, in consequence of tho Imperious demands upon oar columns, to print the oration sooner. But It is a production of no ephemeral character, and will go down upon the pages of history as the most aalient event of the ever memorable Jas per Centennial. RHEUMATISM - This dreadful torment, the doctors tell ns, is in tho blood, and, knowing this to bo trao, 1 we advise every sufferer to try a bottle or Durang’* Rheumatic Remedy.

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 esn he plied up upon eao another do sot disturb ear faith is divine revelation a 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- IhnvA immnvlal Wnrnd • nan I hnn, nP nAnai*. arVincA thnnrtVifa hf Aitha 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 all private soldiers whon he so conspic 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 tween tha Sonthern States and the General Government lias had an unfortunate ten dency to bring this cardinal dootrino of free government into temporary disrepute. I and the unbonght patriotism of that vast say temporary, for it most again successfully army of untitled soldiery who, with no incentive to aotion bnt devotion to duty, no prospect of distinction above tho ma3 - of their comrades, no hopo of reward save tho approval o! conscience, their country and their God, have gone down in the aeeert itself in every State of the Union, unless passion and prejudice, apprehension, and tno false presumption of a neoessity for a stronger government, shall blind tha Ameri can people to the experienci of the colonics, and to the clearest lessons taught by the history and the philosophy of government crash and carnage of war, to fill nnlet-1 Temporary it most bo unless the Gonstitn- 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 men. Tha third is tho great monumental eirent of history; tho birth of a froa people; iho coneecratianof a now continent to constitu tional liberty; tbe projection of au untried plan and unprecedented scale of a confeder ated republic, tho organization in one gov ernment of a vast sisterhood of • self-con trolled, coequal and independent States, etch contributing to tho strength and glory, 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 ment over reached by haman invention; and it administered in tho epirit and upon tho principles on which it wss projected, the conviction must strengthen witu the lapso of timo, that tbo oigtnizition of such a govern ment was indeoa tha supreme event of his tory—tho culmination ot th9 political wisdom of ail the ages Ono or two thoughts in conclusion, and I shall havo finished the task to which yonr partiality has assigned me. Fonder, where stands his monument, foil Count Pulaski. Hero, near tha spot where ths monument i3 to stand, Sergeant Jasper fell. Pulaski, tho impetuous Pole, whose la3t charge at tho head of Iiti intrepid legion, liko that of tho light brigade, was “Into tho very jaws of doiih.” Jaspor, tho heroic Irishman, whose name and fame and chivalry must live while h's- tory lives.

May ths God of merges navies, yet purifies the waters whioh would beoome foul with stagnation and reek with corrnp 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 nics; and finally, to ths formation of a Con federated Repnblio on this continent. One of tho complaints of onr fathers was tho as sertion of tne mother country of the right to tsx without according to theoolonies the right of representation.

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 and restrictive clauses” to that instrumeu:.

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.

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.

Her history running back to the regions of fable and descending with an unbroken current through ten centuries, Ireland prior to her conquest by a foreign power, can boast of a civilization and national indo pendenee of greater duration than any nation of any age.

The Waites Caught Him.—When the y serve you brandy in Paris it is brought in a 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 moan triok. After two or three days this customer found tho brandy vory feeble, and he called tbo garcon. “Garcon,” he said, .“what is .the matter with this brandy?” “It is tbe same, sir.” “That oinnot be.

Held that the narrow white list did not conflict with tho general de scription a3 to color given in the indict ment; but that tho earmarks proved varied materially from those alleged, and for this reason the prisoner was im properly convicted. Though it was un necessary to have described the animal by tho ear marks, yet tho descriptive ternm of the indictment having gone to this extent, the burden was assumed of proving tbe specific marks alleged.

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. Among tha historical flags in the grand paradowas that of the Macon Volun teers, presented to the company by the Hisses Bowen, daughters of Captain Bov en, of the Savannah Guards in 18-42. It was designed by General Floyd. Among tho Volunteers was Captain A G. Batts, the oldest surviving member of the company. His membership dates baok to 1837, and ho bas seen more than one active campaign, bnt still bears his musket with all tbe elasticity of yonth and the enthusiasm of his younger days. Particularly interesting were the clos ing scenes in the elegant entertainments at the armories of the various companies, Eloquecco ruled the hour and toast and sentiment found echo in the music of kissing glasses. At the Oglethorpe Light Infantry hall General Gordon spoke brilliantly and patriotically. Mr. J.8. Iverson responded for tho Volunteers in fitting terms. At the Cadet armory Captain Harden man responded to the toast “Georgia” in tbe happiest strain, rising to eloquence as the generous hospitality of Savannah’s military waa spoken of, But time and epace would fail us to tell of all that happened.
