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.

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. Cotton Market.

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, reader 7 frumber, fraths and Shingles. 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. Good Butter.

THC Man Who Fooled lVcwspupei‘8# Willi [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.

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.

The likeness is said to^beavery excellent one by those who h*(ve seen it and are well acquainted with the original. The Richmond Whig says: The question is jpot a Southern question, or a Northeu question, or a Western question, but a peo ple’s quesfion—a question of free govern ment or despotism. The sooner this great fa^t Is realized by all the better for all,—I Injtlib desperation of a frautic faction, hav ing possession of eveiy Department of tho government, there is no doubt the Republic is no4v iii greater peril than it has been since it was established. 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 a while, the Professor got up and knocked out another pabe, th.en he was able to sleep; but in the morning he discovered that they had only broken into a bookcase. Sash, Doors and Blinds.

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. Tribune.

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.
