literature declared, stood around the bed
of their sicl: mother nor left it till she
expired. And when finally the battle
is fought and the battle is lost—when at

before, we may say, the armies of the
world, he then retires from the field
where he had won fadeless laurels, and
retires, not to spend the remnant of his
days in fruitless bickerings over a lost
cause; not to bite at the chain of destiny
as did the fallen eagle of Corsica bound
to that barren rock of the ocean, but to
fill up the measure of his usefulness in
instructing the rising race—“the left’’
of the recent conflict and the sons of its
fallen warriors.
These thoughts have been suggested
by the recent account of his visit to the
President at his invitation: and by the
fact that there was no demonstration ns
he passed through Alexandria, inasmuch
as the citizens had heard that any dem
onstration would be unpleasant to him.
The i 7 <sa that the old herd should pass
through Jhat city, and under the shad
owing height of his own Arlington, and
pass through the streets as it were, over
a volcano of applause, only kept from
bursting forth by the innate modesty of
the man. This feature in his character
is worthy of all admiration. But. we
cannot pursue this train of thought
further. We must close our reflections,
and we would do so by saying that the
future biographer of Robert E. Lee will

perhaps, never before seen so great a
turn out, at least from a single train,
fer we do not remember that even
the late war, afforded us the sight of
so many human beiDgs on beard a
train of equal Jlength. The number
was variously estimated from twelve
to sixteen .hundred, and we think
there was no less than tho former
number.
Having gained the grove above the
steep bank of the river, and vastly
increased in proportion, by receiving
the Bainbridgo division, the multi
tude now marched in procession
through the most attractive streets of
the city, tc the depths of a capacious,
grove near the Methodist Church,
where a platform, seats and tables
had all been prepared “for tho enter
tainment. Col. Win. O. Fleming of
Bainbridgo, in a brief and eloquent
address welcomed the visitors in be
half of the Bainbridge Schools, and
H. T. Peeples Esq.,-of Valdosta, re
plied in an equally brief and happy
manner. The Bainbridge Schools,
who surrounded the platform for
that purpose then sung a beautiful
hyrna of greeting, and were respon
ded to by the Quitman Schools in an
equally, beautiful and well sung
hymn. The crowd now dispersed in
the grove for a short period, during
which time we took a survey of the
tables :hh1 preparations for feasting.
Everybody had baskets or boxes, and
when these were emptied upon the
tables the - may well be said to'have
“groaned” under the weight of luxu
ries and delicacies.—All could not
get to the tables, however, and it was'
soon announced that the feast would
proceed in picnic style, and the tables
were soon despoiled of their luxuries
which were transferred to different
parts of the grove as the fancy of par
ties and crowds dictated. The sup-

A Wicked Prank.
Wednesday night quite a fashiona
ble wedding was celebrated in tbe
Fourth District. The bride was pret
ty, as all newly married ladies are,
and tbe groom was the glass of fash
ion, and the mould of form. A num-
per of invited guests lent grace to the
occasion, and hearty congrntuations
testified the good wishes of many
friends for the happiness of the new
ly wed-led pair But the hours wan
ed rapidly, and the time for retiring
came at last. The bride was letl by
laughing bridesmaids up to her
chamber door. But imagine then -
surprise when it was opened by a la
dy richly, and elegantly clad iu a
traveling suit, and evidently vraitin
for an interview.
T beg pardon, madam ;you appear
asstouished,’ said the strange lady.
‘I must confess I did not expect to
sec any one here,’ replied the bride.
‘No, madam ; I came ’in very pri
vately, aud wished an interview sub
ject to no internption.’
It did not occur to tbe bride to in
quire by whom she had beeD intro
duced, or by what means she had
gained access to her - apartment.
‘It is very strange uia’am, and I
can’t imagine why you wish to speak
to me I’’-.-
The reason is’ simple. The man
you have married has imposed upon
you. I am his wife.’
‘Oh ! impossible—you rave!’ and
the lady sank into a chair almost
fainting. Of course the bridesmaids
screamed. Such a succession of
shrieks one has rarely heard. It
speedily brought the family to the
door with terror-stricken faces, and
with them the bridegroom, all asking
with trenjbling lips—
‘What in the world is the matter ?’
• ‘Oh 1 Edward,’ cried the bride, ‘this
person says she’s your wife.’
‘My wife 1’ shouted the astonished
husband ; ‘why she’s insane.’
‘Is it possible sirithat;having perpe
trated this great wickedness, you will
have the hardihood to deny that I am
your lawfully wedded wife ?’ she ask
ed, looking the sorely troftbled Ed
ward full in the eye.
‘Why, confound you woman! I
never saw yon before in my life!’ ex
claimed the astonished man.
The lady regarded him very much
as a minister would a man given over
to total depravity.
‘Oh ! Edward I’m afraid it’s true !
and I loved-vou so!’ sobbed the young
wife, ‘how could you have treated me
so ?’
‘I tefi you I haven’t got any wife
but you ; this woman is an imposter.’
The strange lady uttered a low
mocking laugh. The scene was get
ting interesting to the last degree.
The ladies were all crying, and the
father of the bride looking stern and
indignant He had been for some
time intently regarding the strange
kdy, when suddenly his eye lighted
up and an amused smile played on
his lips. He took a step forward, aud
laying his hand on the shoulder of
the stranger said :
‘dome, John, this is very cleverly ; Tiie Swedenbobgian Doctrine.—

the 'stranger was pushed into tho
hall.
‘John—who—what ?.’ all exclaimed
at once. * ’
It was the bride’s younger brother ;
a wicked boy, who had played a
naughty prank, with the aid of his
sister’s traveling suit and her cast
chignon and curls.
It is scarcely necessary to remark
that harmony was very speedily re
stored.
[Correspondence of the .Cambridge Argus.]
Letter from Albany.
Albany, Ga., May 4, 18G9.
Mr. Editor I hope the long inter
vals intervening between my letters will
not be taken as , evidence "that there
have been no incidents in the history
of our city, worthy of record, or of a
place in a newspaper correspondence;
such a conclusion would be an 'errone
ous one: for I do not know of any
place, where there is more life, energy,
or excitement than here. Almost even-
day we have some new sensation ; some
thing to excite our curiosity, gratify
our love of pleasure, or awaken hopes
of a prosperous and bright future.
Among other interesting events which
have transpired here of late, I may men
tion the observance of the 26th ultimo,
by the ladies of this community, in
decorating the graves of Confederate
soldiers whose remains lie bu icd in
our beautiful cemetery ; and if the
spirits of the gallant and honored dead
are cognizant of what takes place here,
how must they have been thrilled with
pleasure, to see that though they had
perished, fighting for a lost cause, yet
they are gratefully remembered, by
those who shared their toils, sacrifices
while living, and who, now that they
are dead, will, by this annual tribute to
their memory, transmit to future gen
erations the history of their hardships)
their valor, and ilieir noble deeds. Sure
ly this annual floral tribute was a nohie
conception, and could have originated
only among the glorious women of the
Confederacy, than whom, none more
disinterested, pure or patriotic have
ever shed a tear, or heaved a sigh. God
bless them, and grant them a future
of angels ; the "first distinguished for
love ; the second for wisdom, and the
last for obedience. All angels have
lived on earth ; none were created such.
They are men and women in every
respect, they marry and live in societies,
in cities and countries, just as we do in
this world, but in happiness'and glory
ineffable. All in whom love to God
and man is the ruling mitrciple, go to
heaven at death. Between heaven and
hell a perfect equilibrium is maintained,
As there are-three heavens, there are
three hells, and every angelic society
has an infernal antagonist Hell, as a
whole, is called the Devil and Satan ;
there is no individual hearing his name.
Ail in whom self-love is the ruling pas
sion, go to hell. There is no resurrec
tion of the earthly body. Every one
passes to bis final’ lot at death ; some
mftke a short sojourn in an intermediate
state, designated the world of spirits,
where tbe good are cured of their su
perficial infirmaries. and intellectual
mistakes, and the evil reject all their
pretences to good.
happiness worthy of their goodness.
The Macon Presbytery, which held
its last session at Fort Gaings, met here
last week according to adjournment, to
■ordain Mr. McKay, of this city to the
work of tlie ministry. I did not attend
the meeting, hut learn that it was pleas
ant and harmonious. The public ser
vices were very interesting, but especi
ally those of Sunday evening, when the
Rov. Dr. Willis, of Macon, preached his
sermon on “the unity of the Ch.irch.”
I will not attempt an analysis of the
sermon here, but as the subject is one
which is now exciting interest and at
tention I will present the general out
line. The Dr. took the position, in
the opening"of liis discourse, that the
Church is united in everything essen
tial, as to doctrine, worship and govern
ment. The existence of God, the .two
fold nature of Christ, the fall of man,
his consequent depravity, his recovery
to a state of salvation by the death of
Christ, faith, justification', sanctification
and future rewards and punishments.
All these essential doctrines formed
parts of the creeds of every evangelicai
denomination.
As to worship, he declared that,
while in circumstantials there is diver
sity. yet in essentials there is unity ;
and lastly, ' that. in government, the
principles are tlie same, though the de
tails may he various.
Several inferences drawn front the
subject were presented in the conclu
sion, among which there was one I
thought worthy of special notice ; that
the representative of any Church organ-
izition, who demanded unity except in
assentials, was the Prince of schismatics,
ami, ought to be so treated.
Tbe large congregation which assem
bled, manifested by their earnest atten
tion, tbefr sympathy with, and their
appreciation of the views advanced by
the learned and eloquent speaker ; and
I think great good will result fiom the
sermon in the lime to come. It would
he well, I think, if the sermon could he
published in pamphlet form for general
distribution, as it would correct raanv
popular errors, and tend very much to
destroy that exclusive and intolerant
spirit exhibited by too many of those
who profess to be Christians, and who
will not look over the wall which en
closes their own little communions.
