I fear you 'Wfecl it all too soon. Southern Radical. From the Charleston Gazette, November 7tli. 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.

[Under this head, we propose to pub lish weekly, Anecdotes and Reminiscen ces of the struggle for Southern Inde pendence; and earnestly solicit contribu tions containing such anecdotes and re miniscences.] General Basil W. Duke.—General Duke’s numerous friends will be pleased to learn that he has determined to prac tice his profession—the law—in Louis ville, and for that purpose Lias associated witli himself Major A. E. Richards, of Virginia. 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.

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. [Macon Journal A Messenger.
