Newspaper men should have good
memories. The other day, one <>f oiir
journalists noticed an uniformed U. S.
fliccr passing, on horseback, through
Commercial Place, narrow flagged
tllev, appropriated exclusively to foot
u.assengers,) and remarked that the per
formance was without precedent; whereas,
‘ t ], as t two hundred newsboys can cer-
Jjjy (I,at, only a fnv months ago, one of
Dan Rice’s chalked-faced clowns rode
through the same alley on a magnificent
little jaekuss. The newspaper man had,
evidently, forgotten the soldier’s ‘'illus
trious predecessor.’'
I'il say nothing to-day of “Grant’s
peace,” the Money Panic, which has fol
lowed so closely on the heels of Grant’s
dcction. I fear you 'Wfecl it all too soon.

FROM OUR AUGUSTA (GA.) CORRES
PONDENT. .
Messrs Editors : Having read with
pleasure in your valuable paper a de
scripiion of the new organ erected in the
Catholic Church of this city, I thought a
few words in reference to the grand open
ing Concert would find a place in your
Catholic intelligence. I take it for grant
ed that your subscribers generally are,
like myself, always glad to hear of the
prosperity of their brethren. The Con
tort took place ou Tuesday evening, 21st
Oct,, before the largest and most intel
ligent audience ever seen in Augusta,
comprising the elite of our dissenting
brethren, who are proverbial for their
•ronerosity in every good work. Prof
Weigand and the Choir of the church
fully sustained the expectations of their
triends, and agreeably disappointed those
who thought the music of the grand old
master would not receive justice at their
hands. The Concert opened at 8 o’clock
by Prof. John Weigand performing a
grand voluntary composed by him for the
occasion, in which lie brought forth the
beauties of the instrument, and, at the
same time, showing that it was a mas
ter-hand that guided the beautiful com
binations which he introduced, doing full
justice to the organ, and reflecting credit
on himself as a composer and an organ
ist of real merit. Then followed the
Gloria in Excel sis, from Mozart's 12th
Mass, by tiic Choir. The grand choruses
were le idertd n admirable sty 1< t makiug
our beautiful church resound with the
praises of God. An 0 Salutaris, from
Rossini, a solo by Mrs. J. D Kavanagh,
was sung with flue effect, fully sustaining
her reputation as one ot the best soprani
in this city. An Ace Verum a trio
from Hayden, sung by Miss Durban, Mr,
0. Spaeth and Mr. llophgarten, alforded
them an opportunity to display their
abilities, which are of the highest order.
Miss Durban is a native of your City,
who, we aro proud to number among our
congregation, with whom she is a lavor
itc, having a finely cultivated voice,
which she freely gives to the service of
bod. caring little lor the applause or
vanity of the world. The Augusta
Quartette Club, comprising the best music
al talent of our German fellow-citizens,
kindly assisted on the occasion, render
ing a grand Kyrie and Ave Verum in
eaorus, which were highly’admired. An
0 Salulai’is, composed by Prof. Weigand
and sung as a duett by Mr. August Dorr,
and Mr. Hopbgarten, was one of the gems
at the evening. The solos Pro Peccatis
and (Jujus Animarn, from Rossini’s
htwHitMater, as sung by Mr. Charles
bpaeth Musical Director, and Mr. Matt.
0 I>ri* n, showed them to be faithful in
‘orpieters of the Grand Composer.
Mr. Spaeth’s Pro Peccatis is admitted
w ail who heard it, on that occasion, to
} ° me best musical performance ever
he.ud in this City. His powerful voice,
viemg with the solemn notes of the or
gan, conveyed to the mind the Crucifixion
an Calvary. Mr. M. O’Brien, in the
plaintive and touching passages of the
( '>-ijus Amman, showed that his heart
was in the subject he so beautifully il-
with his splendid voice. In
me choruses Mrs. Jenny Rowley, Miss
f 1 ’ ancl Miss Tobin, acquitted them
selves admirably as Altos ; while Miss
and Miss McDonald, ably as&ist
<*s Sop>ani. Taken all together, the
t was a great success, the audience
; p‘cased, and the Organ Committee
at jeast one thousand dollars,
! ‘cn came hi good time for the pav-
f riL ijl tl ff °rgan. I can not close ‘this
; 1 'lilt without referring to the zealous
. services of Mr. Charles
Mr. A. Dorr, and Mr. J. D.
* avanagb, in sustaining the Choir for a
p nmer of years; and I know they felt
, 1 ) repaid for their long and arduous
j ora in having the happiness of seeing
n, c n J , oie . instrument erected in our
’ 111 rch which brought forth this com
ul'!, ation. The venerable and es-

A Noble Deed and Noble Words.—
The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph relates the
following :
At the battle of Gettysburg, Lieut. A.
A. Freeman, of the Floyd Rifles, Macon,
was severely wounded, and, while lying
disabled on the field, dispatched a ser
vant, with his sword and trappings, back
to the Confederate lines. Oil his way,
bearing this sword and two others, the
boy was captured by a Federal officer, who
took possession of the swords. This
Summer, the foreman of our job office,
Mr. Ricks,while on a visit North, encoun
tered the captor, who, learning that Mr.
R. resided in Macon, inquired for Lieut.
Freeman, saying that he had a sword in
his possession presented to such an officer
by the Floyd Rifles. On Mr. Rick’s as
surance that Lieut. Freeman was still
alive and well, a return of the weapon
was promised, and, last Saturday, it came
by Express, with a very gentlemanly let
ter, of which the following is the conclud
ing paragraph. The letter is dated
Columbus, Ohio, July 16, 1868 :
“The blade lias a history other than
that attached to it when it first came into
my possession, aud for which you will, I
trust, prize it none the less. In order to
retain possession of it, I threw my own
away, and, from the 4th of July, 1863, to
the 4th of July, 1864, T carried it, be ariug
it through the siege of Wagner and
Gregg, South Carolina. Since then, it
has hung in my bedroom—a sad remem
brancer of the bloody field of Gettysburg.
Hoping that, when again cur swords are
needed, we may stand, side by side, and
shoulder to shoulder, in a common cause,
and that cause the Constitution and our
whole country, I am, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
Wir. F. BLooß.‘ ,
General Brcckenridge made a neat
Utile speech at an agricultural dinner at
Niagara last week, and was enthusiasti
cally received. He said he had nearly
lived four years within the British Em
pire, and everywhere he had met with
respect and courtesy—nobody k had intru
ded upon him, or offiered him unasked
advice, or meddied with his affairs. lie
wished to* live retired, and his retire
ment was respected in Canada. What
ever tlie future might bring forth, he
would always be grateful for the shelter
and protection he had enjoyed under the
British flag —Canadian Freeman.
A War Relic.--We have seen a copy
of Gen. Beauregard’s private corres
pondence. from the time he took com
mand at Corinth, to his occupation of
Chattanooga, just before Bragg entered
Kentucky. It contains the secret history
of that army during the period named.
It is now the private property of a gen
tleman in this city. By the way, it is a
fact not generally known that the United
States Government never succeeded in
capturing the records of the Confederate
\\ ar Department. They were last seen
at a point in North Carolina, not long be
fore the surrender of Gen. Johnston.
We suspect they were destroyed, but
they may be in existence yet.
