Celebration of the Anniversary of
Washington's Birth-liny.
The firing of cannon and the strains
of martial music ushered in the morning, !
and a bright sun gave promise of a |
day propitious for the Anniversary Cel
ebration.
The companies formed in procession
near the City Hotel, and proceeded up
Broad street to the United States Hotel,
where from the Balcony, a beautiful
banner was presented to the Montgom
ery Guards, by-Miss Annie R. Blount, in
the following eloquent and appropriate
Address, in a style more chaste, im-;
pressive and beautiful than we have ;
ever witnessed on a similar occasion. !
ADDRESS or MISS BLOUNT.
Gentlemen of the Montgomery Guards: •
As I appear before yon for the purpose* 1
of presenting you this banner, which
bears a portrait of that noble, chival
rous soldier, whose name you have so
appropriately chosen, many and varied
are the emotions that clusteb around my
heart.
I feel that this, the birthday of . the
great Father of our liberties, is a fitting
time to present you with this gift; for
it is a day when every heart, even the
most callous, should be filled with pure
and sacred memories. Washington !
there is magic in that name; it carries
ns back to the earlier struggles of our
country ; we glance down the shadowy
lane of the past, and we see in fancy
that body of gallant, true-hearted men,
rallying around the stars and stripes
with a heaven-given desire for liberty.
We see their operations, their trials, and
their eventual triumphs; and while wc
rejoice in that unconquerable spirit,
which led them on to victory, amid har
rowing scenes, of which we can form
but a slight conception, are thankful
that while they bore the cross, we of the
present day, wear the crown .
Heaven has smiled upon our sunny
America—the birth-place of the great,
the gifted. For years our banner has
floated in peaceful security. The heart
of the Swiss beats with pleasure as he
hears the wild strains of his native val
ley—tears bedew the eyes of the Ger
man, as he lists the song of his father
land ; and oh ! what a stream of pride
and patriotism flows to the heart of each
• American as he gazes on the stars whose
glory has never yet been dimmed ; and
hears the heroic strains of our own na
tional hymn.
Tee Star-Spangled Banner—oh ! long may it
wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of tbe
brave !”
and how cordially docs every heart en
dorse the sentiment.
Flag of the free 1 long may ye wave
O'er patriot's home and patriot’s grave ;
in day* less fair ye Ho tted Ligh,
Ami led the bravo of old to die.
Now, while we gaze on au.ht so dear.
Their gallant spirits hover near ;
h trumpet-tones they seem to tell,
• Tisa rich treasure —guard it well.”
Long as the Bard to earth belongs,
Thou’lt forrti the theme of noblest songs ;
And wheresoe'er our lot is cast.
We’ll chaunt thy ptaises to the last.
Around the hearth where quiet re>gns,
We ll strike the bold, the inspiring strains ;
And on the held, with clarion tongue,
Thou'lt form the spirit of our .song.
Flag ol'the free ! wo’ll ever stand
Around thy stars, with sword in hand ;
\r thee we'll live, while hearts beat high,
Or failing there, for thte we ll die!
Should war appear with visage grim,
■Ami our bright sun of Hope grow di-u ;
With rallying heart we’ll point to thee,
Thou emblem of our liberty !
Flag of the free!—our nation’s pride,
For whom our Dither-’ fought and died—
• Thou banner, beautiful and grand,
1 ioat thou forever o'er our laud F’
(ibiralrons sons of Augusta! you live
in a time when nature smiles on her fa
vored land ; the wild alarum of war is
hushed: the thirteen stars have emerged
from the mist-like darkness which once
obscured their glory, and now shine
forth with redoubled brilliancy.—Peace
has folded lief beauteous wings, and
broods with smiling face over our quiet
households. But a change may come,
The gallant spirits which slumber in se
curity, may be called into action. Cir
umstances deveiope the Hero—great
trials call forth great deeds.—And here
I feel—and proud is the feeling—that
there stand before me spirits as gallant,
as daring, and capable of ■ noble ac
tions as the mighty dead, who left their
impress .on the record of ’7O.
Destiny may call you to the tented
field—if so, woman's heart will go with
you there ; ar.d woman’s prayers ascend
for you to the Great White Throne!—
Should you come back with the laurel
wreath entwined o’er brows well-fitted
to wear it, woman’s smiles shall greet you ;
or should you
‘■ Sleep with your hand on the dented blade
And the stars and stripes around you/’
the patriot’s grave will be bedewed with
icoman’ 3 tears.
Gentlemen! ye in whose hearts patri
otic enthusiasm beats high; my soul
glows with pride and pleasure as Itrans ‘
rnit to you this gift. No fear mingles
with my emotions, for I am consigning i
it to worthy keeping. With this motto, .
“ The Continental armies ahpise aery act of
oppression and violence, being come for the ex
jiurpose of giving liberty and security,'’ in
scribed on your hearts, “ there is no
such word as fail.” May the spirit of '
the gallant, the lamented Montgomery
hover near you, and insitc you to noble 1
deeds. I fecly-I know, that the pure,
.disinterested motives which actuated 1
tiic impulses of his noble heart, exist in '
your Jioaoms, and will color the sky of i
your future; and that the banner which
I consign to your hands will never fall
into dishonor. i
Gentlemen, my ta ’c ' done. Re- •
l
! ceive, then, this slight testimonial of
j our deep esteem ; and whatever fate is .
i yours, our best wishes shall go with
'you.
Col. 0. A. Sneed responded in an elo-;
, qnentand appropriate manner, as fol-j
lows:
RESPONSE OF COI.ONEL SNEED.
In behalf of tiie Montgomery Guards,
I thank you, and your fair associates for
this beautiful banner, as Well as for the!
kind and complimentary words with |
which you have been pleased to ac- j
company it. May time prove that we
are worthy of the one and merit the
iother, for it shall always by our earnest|
I aim to show oursel.es deserving of
both.
If we had become devoid of all spirit
and dead to all feelings of military am
bition, the sight of that Flag and the
incidents of this day would create them
anew, cause them to glow with an in
creased ardor, and the inspiration thus
felt would impel us onward to a lauda
ble emulation to prove ourselves worthy j
. of this honor.
0, what pleasing reflections, what
; holy memories of the past, does it call |
! forth ! When we look upon that ban- j
|ner, and see inscribed thereon the like-j
| ness of that great and good man, whose
| name we bear, our minds are instantly I
; carried back to those days when “the!
j brave began to fear the power of man,
jand tire pious to doubt the favor of
Kiod;” and the memories of that event
ful period crowding thick and fast
! around, remind us of thaheroicconduct,
the disinterested sacrifices, and the no
| hie deeds of daring of General Richard
Montgomery. He is seen leaving his
own cherished home, the green velvet
i like verdured Isle of Erin, crossing the
I broad waters of the Atlantic, and enter
| ing heart and soul into the great con
! flict of American Independence. Wher
ever most needed his youthful arm is
j wielding its glittering blade, until final
ly before the walls of Quebec, it fell
pulseless by his side; that pure and
patriotic spirit with which it had been
animated having taken its flight to the:
realms of the other world. Ho died ’tis
true, but his fame lived after him. It
was not ephemeral, existingonlj for a;
day and dieing on the morrow; but;
still and will ever live, for it has.
left its impress so indelibly stamped on
the sands of time, that the tramp of;
; succeeding ages caryiever obliterate.
Now look on the other side of that
banner—there is inscribed the coat of
’ arms of our noble State—she, who lias
: the highest claims upon our allegiance, 5
and to whom we are bound by the:
; strongest ties of affection; being the 1
dear birth place, the first love of some,
and the no less dear adopted home of
other members of tliis Company. This
alone will inspire us to bear aloft that
flag with pride, and never, never, shall it
suffer dishonor in our hands, whether'
seen idly moving to and fro, fanned by
: the gentle winds of peace, or flapping
itself in the angry storm of war. As
the star of Bethlehem was to the wise
men of the East, so shall this be to us;
tire object of our constant solicitude
and the talisman of our success. Un
der its auspices, our conduct in time of
peace shall be such as is in accordance
with that of true citizen soldiery ; but,
if, on the other hand, the flame of war!
should again roll over our fair and hap
py land, threatening either to darken
her bright escutcheon, or to destroy
our homes and our liberties—let it
come from whence it may, either from
enemies without or traitors within—-and
you will find none more ready, none
more prepared, and no more willing to
do their duty than the Montgomery
Guards.
And now, in conclusion, allow me to
say that, with greateful hearts, wo re
ceive this precious gift, esteemed the
more, because prepared by the hands of
woman, and presented with her good
wishes and smiles. Woman, cvermind- j
ful woman! in every enterprise of life, i
with her aid, success is certain; without!
lit, defeat is inevitable; with her smiles, |
all things are bright; with her frowns,;
all are dark, for we are toid that—
“ The world was 3rd, the garden was a wild 1
The man. the iJcrmit, sighed— till woman
smiled !”
The kindness then, we have received, j
will act as an incentive to exertion on
our part, cheer us onward in our duty,
and come weal, come woe, it will be
“the ultima Thule” of our hopes and
ambition to preserve as pure and spot
less those foids as the hearts of our fair
donors.
Ensign Gal!,liter, I now transfer this
valued offering of beauty to you as its
custodian, and feel confidant that,
in your hands, it will be free front dis
grace and dishonor. Take it, sir, and
let it ever be a memorial of the proud
l position you occupy this day, and of
| your duty as its bearer.
' After forming, the procession march-
ed to Concert Hall. The stage was oc
cupied by the Orator of the Day, His
Honor the Mayor, Members of Council,
the officiating Clergyman, the r.eader
of Washington’s Farewell Address, the
Colonel, Staff, and prominent members
of the several military companies. Af
ter a tune by the Band, the Rev. Mr.
Lamar offered up a prayer. Mr. John I
T. C. Whitehead read the Address, with 1
appropriate preliminary remarks. Asj
the address of John H. Hun, Esq., is ;
expected to be published, it is useless!
for us to allude particularly to it at the 1
present time.
After the presentation the procession
moved according to the order of the
clay, and the artillery fired a national
salute,when the militaryervere dismissed.
The streets were thronged during.the
morning, and everything passed off in
the most creditable and satisfactory
manner.
About noon it commenced raining, j
which detracted somewhat from the en- i
joyment of the evening.
To-night the Hop at the Planter s 1
comes oft', which will without doubt be'
a brilliant affair.

“The Eighth Wonder of the World.”
The ancients had, what they not tin- *
aptly perhaps called their “seven won- a
i ders of the world” and the Temple of 1
Fphesus and the colossus of Rhodes, .
were, doubtless, entitled to this appel
lation. But, Messrs. Editors, we have
in this, our day and hour, upon the soil
j of our beloved Georgia, a more remark- I
j able wonder than any of those above j
alluded to. I have reference to the
j blind Pianist, the property, as I under
! stand, of General Bhthunk, of Colum
bus, Ga. Last night 1 witnessed iho
performance of “this prodigy in our
village, and had I the pen of a Mozart .
I should fall far short of doing justice
to his astounding powers and inimita
ble skill. The music he then and there
j discoursed; struck me and others with
j profound surprise, and absorbed our ;
j minds in wonder and admiration. When
I reflect that this boy is laboring under :
j congenital blindness, never having seen
an object in ltis life—that his mind hU
| only one degree removed front idiocy, l '
and that he is only nine years old. I ;
am made to exclaim, “how great are j
the mysteries of God’s creation.” He
performs, with artistic skill, nearly j!
three hundred pieces of music, without 1 •
understanding the first note. Indeed,
why should we expect him to tinder- : ,
stand a note, when God has not blessed
him with the sight of a single object,
upon this green and lovely earth ?— : j
Now, when I make this assertion, I i
speak from the rocord—having examin- j
ed his eyes myself—and he is certainly!
blind to all intents and purposes. A <
I great many of these pieces were com- *
posed by the little blind boy—and these
I especially, are spirit stirring, waking
! up the deepest feelings of tbe soul.—:
< ■ i
Had the exhibition of the boy’s skill!
ended here, I should have been more ■
I than satisfied with what I saw and
. heard—but we were not allowed to re-!
tire under this state of feeling. A lady j
I and gentleman, teachers of music of ac
i j knowledged competency, being present,!
-’: were invited by blind Tom, to play a
■ Duett with him in their order. Pieces!
■ were selected, with which Tom was
; wholly unacquainted, and lie perform-1
r | ed his part of the accompaniment with
• critical skill and precission. Having
; gone through with the Duetts, the!
. I lady and gentleman were politely re- j
tj quested, by Tom’s protector, to play!
•’: each, in their turn, a piece about which
[■:the boy new nothing. This wasac-j
• cordingly done, Tom, the while, drink-1
■ j ing it down through the tympanum of!
j his ears. He then took his seat before |
l ! the instrument, and astonished alike,:
’. the teachers, as well as those who were
1 less skilled in the divine science of mu
i:
[i sic. In conclusion, permit me to say
: there is no humbuggery here, and to j
1 add, furthermore, that it is well known j
I have no interest either in the success !
1 or failure of Tom. I tiave been prompt- i
ed to say, what I have above written,!
■ by the effect produced upon mo and!
others by his unparalleled skill—and!
with the hope that I may be the hum-!
| ble instrument of augmenting the j
I pecuniary fortune of General Betitune, !
| a gentleman of worth and character,!
well known to native Georgians. Let|
j me beg my show going friends to forego 1
! their desire to attend the Circus and j
Amphi-theatre of the Magician, and
give what they wish thus to spend, to {
the blind boy—the eighth wonder of
world. S. W. Birney.

JOYFUL News TO

oh, the amount of suffering that has beenendur
ed, and the thousands of deaths that have
occurred for the want of a proper and
timely remedy for this dreadful dis
ease which is invariably found in
LYNCH’S ANTI-RHEUMATIC POWDERS.
riUlh only sure and radical cure yet
X discovered. See circular and thefollowing
CERTIFICATES :
I do hereby certify that, after *suffering for
thirty-three years with the most excruciating
pain from Chronic Rheumatism, and finding no
permanent relief from any of the many preset ip
tions given me by different physician?, I am
now entirely well, not only of Rheumatism it
seli, but likewise of its effects. This cure was
effected by a preparation styled Lynch’s Anti-
Rheumatic Powders Os these powders I took
two dozen, and bav not had anv symptoms of
my old pains for thr ' .years. The effect upon
me was like magic Within three days after i
had taken the first powder, my pains disappear
ed, and I have been entirely clear of them up to
tli# present time.
To all suffering from Rheumatism I do hearti
ly recommend these powders, confidently be
lieving that you have only to give them a trial
to secure a lasting cure.
