WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.
Eiathnsiasticnlly Celebrated.
BANNER PRESENTATION.
Sabre Contest Between Cavalry Com
panies.
Parade ol the Stonewall Rifles.
About ton o'clock the companies began
to assemble, and by eleven were upon the
ground where the presentation, contest, and
d rills were to take place.' A large number
of ladies from Augusta, the country, and
our own unusrpassed beauties, were early
upon the ground—in carriages, buggies, and
seated at the vestibule of the M. E. Church,
and on porticoes and piazzas adjacent. An
old-time, (revolutionary, it might be) cannon
by oue loud roar, from its iron throat, gave
token of commencement, and the Cavaliers
and Burke Huzza i s were drawn up in front
and on the loft of the church steps, the
Stonewall Rifles occupying the right, when
Lieut. R. 0. Lovett, of the latter company,
upon whom the honer of presenting the ban
ner had been conferred, advauced to the
froat and said:
Gentlemen of the Cavaliers:
I have been requested by Mrs. Wilkins, that]
I would, for her, present your company with
this flag; and it has beon suggested to my mind
that perhaps it would not bo inappropriate that
what remarks I shall make, should have roforl
enco to tho relation of tho soldier to tho sex.—
It h to them that he looks for approval and for
praise. They amuse him in his leisure hours;
they corno like ministering angels of mercy to
him in suffering; they aro tho first and last
devotees at that shrino consecrate to a people’s
fallen fortunes and hapless hopos ; their enthu
siasm arouses his patriotism; thoir sympathies
encourage his efforts; their prayers go with him
to battlo and shelter lum as with u panoply
against dishonor; and thoir toars, holier than
angel bonediotiens, hallow tho sod where sleep
tho brave. Some of you, gentlemen, havo boon
actors in a drama that has illastrated tho noblest
attributes of Southora womanhood. Many of us
gratefully remembor their kindnesses amid tho
destitution and suffering of hospital life. These
are tho memories that gleam from out the dark
ness of thoso troublous times, gilding that strug
gle with a glory tb.it suceoss could not heighten,
and crowning it with a justification .that prece
dent nor argument can strengthen.
Those are things of tho past, however. Your
organization is not for a renewal of such scenes.
The occasion is not upon you when your arms
need to bo nervod or your hearts stirred by such
tokens of womanly appreciation and encourage-
znont. Your’s is a sunshine soldiers’ existence
—-and I think I speak a sentiment that will find
accord in gcntlo breasts when I say, May your
sabres flash only in tho peaceful contest for
prize or plume.
Timos of poace aro said to be but space for
preparations fbr war. That the passions of man
aro like tho winds that fret tho ocean’s bosom ;
awhile they seem to lull away, but it is only to
gather tbemsolves in the folds of a tempest be
fore whoso blast tho slowly-built institutions of
centuries witbor in an hour. But ! t no such fate
awaits you; if a kind Providenco shall vouch
safe to your country immunity from the horrors
that attend upon war, thero is still a proper ap
preciation in such an organization, and it ought
not to be a source of prido to you alono, but an
, ocoasion of interest to overy patriot. To be a
soldior roquires obedience to authority—and a
like regard for tho powers that be is a prerequi
site of good citizenship. Thore is, too. in tho
true soldier that high regard whioh teaches man
to hold high and- unsullied above the taint of
office-lust and money-greed the ermine of his
honor. Thero is still another sentiment whioh
is linked with deods of arras; ono that is con
servative in in,its influonce, el ova ting in its
tendencies and beneficial in its oxercise—the
sentiment that woman is to bo respected and
honored. Yon bright luminary throws his burn
ing boams upon the ray less satellite of the earth
and they como back to ns in the soft light of mel
lowed moonshino—and yet in their very mild
ness is found the oontroling power of winds,
tides and seasons. So the light which civiliza
tion has shod upon tho sphere of woman , in
darker days has been reflected back upon the'
progress of the world with tenfold power arid
influence. This has boen the theme of poesy
and song, the inspiration of heroism in all times.
Why, what memories of modimval heroism does
your very, name suggest — how lightly Have
mailed knights weighed thoir lives against the
evanescent trophy of a woman’s smile! For
there same fair beings whoso captives you aro,
nations havo folt tho tread of tbo conqueror’s
legions. To avongo woman’s wrongs nohlo
hearts hare stirred, and the slumbering pulse
of a poople’s patriotism, under-the magic touch
of* genius, has boon awaked from oppression to
appreciation, to effort and to liberty. For ono
woman’s wrongs tho Torquins were banished
from Romo. To avongo the massacre of his
wifo, Wallace strove and Scotland was free.—
Napoleon lost the inspiration of his Empress, I
and the clouds of adverse fate thickened in his
pathway; and he saw the star of his destiny,
till then resplendent with tho brilliancy of suc
cess, go down ip tho obscuration of miserable
exile* And it is said thab tho soldierly friend
ship of Old Hickory was enlistod for one woman,
and that in bor vindication his cabinet was dis
solved, sectional hate stimulated, and war pre
cipitated upon this country.
But I might worry your paticnoo with ex
amples from the tradition of mythology, from
the history of ancient timos. and from tho living
testimony of tho present—for wherever the oven
current of the world’s history has boen disturbed •
by any notion whose fame has been echoed along
the stream of time, ’twill bo found that woman
has played tho part of motor.
Show mo that people whero barn noton tho
altar of manly hearts the tended fire of respect
for the sox, and I will show you a peoplo muti
nous at authority, ripe for revolt and the vic
tims of evory communistic doctrine that may
to perplex and disturb human, society. I
moan riot simply tho funoios of youth for bright
eyes and winning HuifloS-—that sorinor oif latof
‘ov or takes all men ; but I moan tbo high filial
rogard that overy truo man fools fur tho sox for
tho snko of his rnothor.
What has oausod voh t6 baptizo your land in
firo and blood—is it because you aro tho deluded
victims of tho ignis fatilxin uion oall libartv7—-
You scareely pity tho serfdom of other lands. Is
it booauso you have strugglod for it 9 Lot tbo
strugglos or Ireland for poriturlos answer for
deserving. Why is it that you think your land
tho fit homo and dWollirig-place for rroodom —
is It booauso Hoaveri has blessed you with
brightor skios, balmier airs or cuoro fortilo soil 7
Not so. Tho troplos shame your soanty horb-
ago. Tbo sumo skies bend as beautifully bluo
above o'thor lands. It was and is booauso liborty
had hecorao lmpdrsonato in tbo sanotitios of homo
arid h'earbhstonos; and it is only when man’s
cl roa ms for liborfy tnko this shapo that fchoy
dream aright or struggle dosorvodly for success.
Because, in ooch man’s homo woro his household
gods; riot imagos ot wood or brass, but tbo fair
est specimens of natdro’s modeling band—living,
loving beings, givori to him ns joalously to watoh
over, as valiantly to' protoot and as revorontially
to honor as was Arioulses tbo Ponatos whioh ho
oarried ns tho guarantoo of his family’s future
greatnoss and prosperity.
And now I hund you tho flag; take with it
the u ish of her whose gift it is—that it may
long bo yours in poaco and prospority, but if
that timo should como when it must bo unfurled
timid tho smoko and dangor of battlo, let tho lifo
and fame of him whose imago floats above you
bo to you an inspiration and a modol.
In receiving the banner, Lieut. Geo. 0.
Warxock made the following response:
Sir:—I aooopt this beautiful bannor, on tho
part of tho members composing the "Wilkins’
Cavaliers.” In those days of poaco and tran
quility to bo thus honored by ono of tho fair
ladies of our oonnty, is a oompliment bostowod
of whioh our organization may woll fool proud.
Those aro no days of wav, when hoarbhstonos
aro made desolate by absont lovod ones. No
distant oannou invites us to tho oonflict; no
piokot’s gun warns as of an approaching enemy;
no rattling of musketry tells us of a raging
conflict; wo rule no restive steods, with rooking
manes and foaming flanks, anxious to ongago
in some contending fury. Instead of the can
non’s thunder tones, the sharp oraok of tho
pickots’ rifles, and the rattlo of musketry, wo
hoar the hoavy tread of tho locomotive on its
poaccful errands, the crook of tho drayman’s
whip, and the plowman's sonorous voioo as ho
goes on his usual rounds. We .hoar, too, in
every town and hivmlot tho mellow tones of the
school-boll, inviting students to tho aoadomios
of litorature and soience.
Wo ask no military glory. Oar groatost am
bition is in vicing with each other in a trial of
speed and test of skill for some tendered prize,
or tho privilege of orowning some fair lady.
Soo inscribed on that banner, “Wilkins Cav-
|aliors, Organized November, 1874.” It is an
Jhonor to him for whom it is named, and a like
[ honor to us who bear it. Seo there, stamped
.upon it tho image of him, tho chief of cavaliers I
—him whose watchword was duty, and who did
it. But he is gone—gone to that military world
whoso troopers aro bright angels and whoso chief
Captain is Jehova.ii. Wo fancy wo hoar thorn
as they striko their harps and send forth thoir
melodious strains at tho approach of ono so
noble.
Sir, in accepting that flag, wo pledge to it our
honor and protection. Yotwo havo no domestic
enemy; we have no foreign foe; but wo can
protect it. We cun honor it by our manly bear
ing and protect it by our gentlemanly deport
ment. Wo can protect it as the devoted husband
does tho wife, as a fond mother cares for hor
tiny infant, and watch it as closely as a joalous
lover scrutinizes every movement of her who
reigns queen of his thoughts.
The reception of that banner givos to us a
place in the memory of hor who will over bo
kindly remembered by every member of our
company; and in yours to como the ovonts of
to-day will bo reverted to as among tho fondest
reminiscences of the* past.
—Sarge-aift, take that flag, remombortng while
it is made of the finest fibre, and possessing the
brightest hue, ’lis but naught in comparison to
tho many lady-liko virtues of hor from whose
[fair hands it came.
The contest between the two cavalry comri
Ipanies, for the prizes of crowning the
“Quoenof Love” and maids of honor, took]
[place, resulting as follows :
[First prize—Mr. L. Jones, score, 41 pointsj]
second, Capt. W. A. Walton, score 374 points;
[third, Mr. S. R. Fulcher, score 37 poiuts ;
fourth, Mr. V. B. Fulcher, score 36£ points.
AT KING O’CLOCK,
the fortunate contestants having made their
choice from the large number of beautiful]
young ladies present, the crowning took
place at Masonic Hall, when Miss Jennie
Hack, of Augusta, was crowned Queen, Miss
Bora Cox first Maid of Honor, Miss Bora
Gresham second and Miss Vanxie Morri
son third, amid loud applause,evidencing the
general satisfaction of all present. Then was
inaugurated the ever convenient aud looked]
for finale to such gatherings, the "mazy
dance,” which was pleasantly kept up, to]
enlivening strains from Prof. Hett, fori
long hours after the writer hereof had been]
enfolded in the “mantle of ye sleepy god.”
THE STONEWALL RIFLES.
commanded by Capt. Thos. Burdell, were
“put through” (as that war-horse knows how
to put soldier’s through) a regular course of
company exercise and manuel during the af
ternoon ; and we have to compliment them
upon their dexterity and correctness gener
ally in obeying commands. This being their
first publitf drill, since organized, they did
surpassingly well, and to criticise minutely
would be unjust.
All participants in the day’s celebration,
from our standpoint seemed to enjoy them
selves to the’ fullest extent, and we hope
they really did so.
Personal.
We have been pleased to observe Hon.'
Stephen A. Corker, of Waynesboro, on our
streets. He leaves this morniug to return
Ito his home in Burke county. During the
war Capt. Corker gallantly commanded the
Burke Guards, company A, of tho third
Georgia, aud after noslihties was elected
to Congress from the fifth district of Geor
gia.—rSavannah Advertiser, 20th.
Yes, Capt. Corker represented the fifth,
just after “reconstruction”—but we are in
the first district, now, and what says the
4dverfiser to his representing us next time.
Say “yea,” and let’s shake hands on it.

Tho editor of an exchange says lie never

Music.
Oar dear little town will soon be able to
boast of a Itrass Band of the “first order.’
Undei the instruction of Prof. Hett, the
young gentlemen composing the Band are
maldng rapid progress, aud soon will thrill
our hearts with martial strains. Music is a
great institution; “it hath charms to soothe
tho savage breast'’ and we have beeri—that
is we know of some who have been, muchly
soothed.
The Street*.
If “cleanliness is akin to godliness,” then are
we “sorry heathens” for generally speaking
our streets are unsightly. And the pestiferous
swine seemod to bo newly “enfranchised
judging from the number wo have recently
seen promenading around seeking where
they may root. We hope our good Council
will take this nuisance into consideration
and “mend their ways,” for nothing better
evidences thrift and prosperity than neat
ness ard a decent prido for outward appear
ances. i
Those Who Don’t Advertise.
In 1868 we read the following in a num
ber of the Louisville, Kyv, Courier, and it
is quite as applicable now as it was then
A word only to the wise is sufficient: Never
go to a merchant’s store who don’t adver
tise. Bear in mind such a man is stingy;
lie will squeeze the last oent out of your
pocket, and sell every article higher than
the one who advertises and let’s the \vorld
■know whether he is keeping pace with the
times. Nover go to a mau who does not in
vite you.

Newspaper Spongers. •
There are many people in this world who
make it their business to sponge the read
ing of their county paper. This has often
been noticed and commented, upon• They
are found wherever the paper is left—in a
shop, office, store, or barber-shop—and of
ten borrow it -before the owner has an op
portunity of raising it from the table. And
this, too, by many who are abundantly able,
nnd whose duty it would seem to be, to sus
tain their county paper, by subscribing to
and paying for the same.
Ihe Weather.
Yes, the weather. Old and hackneyed,
and stereotyped “definite article and noun,”
But we can almost, at all times, and under
all circumstances, say something about “the
weather,” and not say Che same thing twice
over, inasmuch as “change” is written on the
face of it, and it hardly deserves now that we
come to think of it, any mention at all—for
do we not all know for ourselves wliat kind
of weather it was yesterday, the day before,
and so on 7 But then, this is all sorts of
weather, tie four seasons combined, and.
and—well, we prefer to take the seasons one
at a time, in regular rotation. Bon’t you,

In another column will oe found the card
of Mr. S. M. Perkins, LawtonVille. We
take pleasure in publishing this card, and
pleasure, also, in urging the claims of Mr.
Perkins, upon our people, as paramount to
any competitor he may have. In tho coun
ty he has no competitor, and our people,
who, we have reason to know, preach so
often and upon so many occasions, upon pa
tronizing home industry, should not tor a
raomeut think of “passing by” his first
class mills to order lumber elsewhere —but,
on the contrary, should strenuously endeav
or to send him all the patronage they can
influence and invariably practice what they
preach. The lumber and other builder
materials offered by Mr. Perkins’ are se
cond to none, and his prices are as reason
able as any. Let our people ever hereafter
be able to point with pride to their dwell
ings and places of business, as being built
from pines Burke County raised and sawed
at Perkins’ Mill.

[Washington Cor. Ckioago Timos.]
And so Wisconsin has stepped on him 7
The saintly Carpenter, whoso soul knew no
guile, who never owned a lounge, and who
never saw Long Branch In all his life, has
been flattened beneath the Badger’s foot.
Thu* {hey go. Even the few Republican
Stpteq that were left out in the cold when
all the rest of the country stepped inside,
And warmed itself at.tho opposition firefa,
are not reliable. Chrfstianey lays otit
Chandler; Ramsey is likely to he pulveriz
ed by.a vile Independent; Carpenter is kick
ed to dentil by a North county lawyer, with
the lyipropltious name of Cameron. *The
birds of the air have their roosts, and the
bdasts of the field their hiding places, but
the Administration is sure of nothing.
Tills Carpenter came to Washington six
years ago, like the Russian prince in “Caste"
“somebody at home,” but of little account
elsewhere. He was known outside of his
own $late only as a lawyer who had talked
solid constitution and slang English in tho
McArdle case before the Supreme Court of
the United Stales, and is one of tho Butler-
Logan-Morton fioppers from poverty strick
en Bemocracy to lucrative Radicalism.
Elected Senator on a narrow shave, ho
showed Ids gratitude to those who has help
ed sqporzo him through by kicking them
Federal Jobs. Then he chassezed
toward? the Capital, wheie he was met with
open amis, il is said they were not all mas
culine arms.
It is a laudable, desire that of being some
body. Carpenter had it bad. He wanted
to be somebody beside himself—another
laudable desire. He concluded he would be
another Conkling. With all the latter’s al
mighty conceit and malignity, but with
none of his respect for the common decen
cies of life, Carpenter started to make a
Western Conkling of himself.

A* Extra Session of Congress.—Tho
indications now decidedly point to an extra
session of Congress. Two political meas
ures mow before the Senate—namely, the
seating of Plnchback and the civil rights
bill, repotted without amendment by the
Senate Judiciary Committee—will involve
extended debate, upon which there can be
no check, and which will revolve upon a
question-of physical enduraheo “to sit it
out.” It is understood it is the intention of
the Bemocrats, if this class of politicial
legislation is thrust upon them, to resort to
the silting out process, even to March 4th ;
also, that they have bad recent consultations
with?reference to the anticipated extra ses
sion, and while they have agreed to join
haiuls with the majority to pass all necessa-
ry appropriation bills, they will suffer them
to frfii if tlio Republicans elect to hamper
tllbir passage with political measures, and
attribute the cause of the extra sossion, if
called, to force of circumstances rather than
premeditated action on their part.

They have a good joke on a “Professor of
Ventilation” down East, who being put in
a close room at a hotel with another guest,
asked the latter to raise a window, at night
as the air was close. “I can’t raise it,”
said the guest, after working at the window
a while. “Then knock a pane of glass out,”
saidIhe Professor, which was done. After

If the peoplo of Louisiana could secure
the ajjpoinment of an honest and measurea-
bly competent United States District Judge
it would be a great point gained; but it
seems probable that even that boon is to be
denied them. Judge Pardee, the nominee
now before the Senate, is a thorough Re
publican, and withal an upright man. He
is opposed only because Senator West was
not consulted about the nomination, and be
cause, unlike many of the Louisiana judges,
he cannot bo depended upon for decisions
favorable to the Kellogg party. An effort
is now making to induce the President to
withdraw this nomination and substitute
that of Mr. S. Billings. This gentleman is
principally known as Kellogg’s attorney,
and as the associate and adviser of the
worst class of Administration in New Or
leans. He would be no more acceptable to
the people than was Judge Durell. The
President began right in this matter ; it is
to be hoped that he will stand firm.—N. Y.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE !
II?
I T WOULD REQUIRE THE SCOPE
J quite a large volume to contain the
good things that are said about the Morn
ing News by its contemporaries of the'
Southern press. It is almost daily referred
Lo as “the best paper in the South,” “the"
leading Georgia daily,” etc.’ and it is gen
erally conceded to" be in all respects a model
Southern newspaper.
, This is the fame that the Mi rxing News'
covets, and no pains will be spared hereaf
ter to make it still worthier of the confi
dence and patronage of the people of Geor
gia and Florida. The ample resources of
the establishment will be devoted to the
improvement of the paper in respect to its
already large facilities for gathering the
current news of the day, and its staff of Spe
cial correspondents has been reorganized
with a view’ to meeting every possible con
tingency that may arise.
Altbqugh the Morning News has little or
no competition within the field of its circu
lation, nevertheless no effort -will be con
sidered too expensive that gives the ear
liest and freshest information to its read
ers. In this respect there will be no re
laxation -of the endeavor to keep it far
ahead of all its contemporaries.
The features that have rendered the
paper so popular will be maintained: The
editorial department will, be conducted
with the same dignified thoughtfulness,
conservative vigor, and earnest devotion to
principle that have always characterized
it. The racy reliability of the local, and
the accuracy and completeness, of the com
mercial' depai tments, will be kept up to the
old standard, and improvements will be
made wherever they are suggested by ex
perience.
The Morning News is the only Savannah
paper that publishes tire Associated Press
dispatches and Che telegraphic market re
ports authorized by the Commercial bureau
of New York City. In addition lo this,
the local market reports will be full and
reliable, and will be accompanied by such
comment as will enable the business men
of Georgia and Florida to form estimates
as accurate and as intelligent as it they
were .in the city.
In a word, the Morning News will com
prise every feature that renders the modem
newspaper attractive, and its readers may
confidently look to its columns for the lat
est information in regard to everything-of
current interest. It will admit of no rivalry
in its own proper field, arid will allow no
competitor to outstrip it in any department
of journalistic enterprise.
The terms of subscription are: Daily:
One year, $10*; six months, $5; thr.ee
months, $2’50. Tri-Weekly: One year, $6 ;
six months, §3; thiec months, $1.50.—
