^ about the first of July, and wo all deter
mintd upon a grand Fourth of July cclebra
tioa, to include speeches in the morning and
fc-works at night, accompanied by the as-
„ nt of two huge balloons. A subscription
TB t# kcn and a messenger sent to Macon for
Pockets, Roman Candles, Crackers, Wheels,
if and a committee awaited upon Hon. E.
\ Xisbt-t and the Hon. B. H. Hill, both of
*hlm were present, and requested them to
deliver addresses. They both consented,
md wc soon had notices of tho pro
posed celebration posted up all over
the country, in order to draw a crowd.
Eleven o’clock of the morning of the fourth
found a large assembly convened beneath
the trees in the (then) romantic dell, where
the bealth-giving'w iter gushes from the solid
granite. A platform had been erected and
benches and chairs provided. The day was
most auspicious, ar.d nil were in the finest
spirits.
Judge Nisbct spoke first, and in his usual
elegant and scholarly style. Long habit and
severe menial training at the bar, together
with great cultivation and extensive literary
acquireounts, have given him a facility, a cor-
rectaess and a grace in extempore oratory,
which few possess. He does not seek to over
whelm by a torrent of elocution, nor to daz
zle hr flights of eloquence, but, by a graceful
delivery, by distinctness of utterance, by
'dcsrncss of expression, and by a poetical ele
gance of diction, ho charms the hearer. He
cannot speak or write without scattering
poetic flowers, and, at times, a gush of pathos
so full of feeling and sentiment will vent it
self; that the reader or hearer is thrilled with
pleasurable emotions, or finds his eyes brim
ming with unbidden tears.
The address c>t Hon. B. H. Hill was charac
terized by his accustomed fluency and beauty
of expression. With eloquent earnestness he
commented upon tho Declaration of Inde
pendence, upon the principles of the Govern
ment of the United States, and upon the pres
ent and prospective glory of the American
Union. In appearance, Mr. Hill ia manly,
handsome and graceful. By nature, he is ar
dent and impulsive. Ilis energy is very
?reat, but is guided by a clear judgment and
controlled by sound principles. As a lawyer
sad a statesman, his acquirements and abili
ties entitle him to rank among the first. No
too questions his patriotism, or his piety, or
the graceful beauty of his private life. At
the Bar and in the Senate, he is sometimes
severe upon an ndversarv, but he never forgets
nor foregoes the courtesies of honorable de
late. As a speaker he is clear, fluent and
logical, rising often to the loftiest heights of
impassioned cloqiicnco, and charming and
thrilling his hearers by the elegance of his
language, the grace of bis delivery and the
pwer of his elocution.
The addresses were well received, and all
the exercises of the day passed off handsome
ly. leaving everybody impatient for the anti
cipated pyrotechnic display of the night.
Oh that, night! Wc never shall forget it
Froniitsiuceptiou wc had been the prime
mover of the celebration, and it had been our

of a few seconds had occurred in detaining
the balloon; and, not swaying with the wind,
its side had been brought in contact with the
flames, and in a few moments, the whole mass
of burning and fiercely blazing material had
fallen on the sun-scorched and tinder-like
roof of the Hotel. Shouts of applause were
suddenly changed to shrieks of dismay.—
Cheeks were blanched and hearts appalled.
Cries of confusion and alarm arose on every
side, and all rushed to and fro in wild ex
citement.
“You wanted to get up an excitement, and
now you’ve done it!” exclaimed Collier in
tones not the softest

of James A. and Mr3. Auralia L. Ralslon, of thi3
city.
In this brief announcement the story of grief
finds no common utterance, for thesnbjectofthis
memoir was a lad of noordinnry qualifications,
Jackson, was eloquently, appropriately, and . an< l cave promise of no ordinary distinction.—
inosftfoucbingly noticed on yesterday by near-' ^
ly altof our contemporaries. An incurable
forgetfulness ot dates, which we shall hereaf
ter deplore as nn irreporablc misfortune, pre
vented the editor of this paper from laying
his humble garland npon the grave of the fa
mous Captain, when others performed .that
task so well. Our brother editors were, for
tunately, more thoughtful, and their eloquent
eulogies and appropriate habilimentsofmourn
ing stamped the 10th of May as an anniversa
ry always to be remembered.
So strong was the feeling of reverence for
the immortal dead manifested on yesterday.
From hU earliest infancy ho was characterized
by ths most lively intelligence, ami learning
to his mind wns not alone the ideas of the books,
for he studied nature and knew men, and criti
cized their motives and actions, with a sharpness
of wit and wisdom most astonishing iu ono so
young. A youngest son and delicate as a flower,
the tenderness of his mother's Jovo wanned his
affections into tho strongest and most vital sen
sitiveness. His little arms were ever around her
neck, and every tear sho shed had its sympathy
welling up out of his young and generous heart-
carcely mixing with the crowd of boys of his own
that we believe there will hereafter be a total age.hisappreciationofhismother’sgontlenesslcd
suspension of business upon each return of
the melancholy anniversary throughout tho
South. The thought that in all Christendom
the solitary human being who “ saw nothing
to admire in the character of Stonewall Jack-
son ” abides for a time among us, impressed
every citizen with the conviction that it was
his special duty to do honor to Jackson’s
memory. The popular heart yesterday was
full to overflowing, and thousands recalled
the sad, tearful military pageant which filled
the streets of this city when all the civil and
military dignitaries of a short-lived Republic
accompanied his remains to the Capitol.
Since that day of supreme sorrow the Con
federacy has passed away, but its fate has not
diminished tue collossal reputation of Jack-
son. Each vear seems to add luctr<» to
his fame. The soldiers, statesmen, orators
and writers of all nations never weary of
swelling the vast measure of liis renown; and
the exceptional man “ who does not admire
Jackson ’’ may become famous for that senti
ment alone.'
The anniversary of the death of the great
Confederate Captain was appropriately dedi
cated to affectionate tributes to the memo
ry of those valliant dead, many of whom he
so often led to victory ogainst countless odds.
Could the Great Soldier, before his immor
tal spirit “crossed over river to rest in the
shade of the trees” of Paradise, have express
ed a wish as to the method in which a mourn
ing people could most gratefully honor his
memory,he would have begged them to strew
with flowers the neglected graves of those
brave,fear lesssoldiers of whose valor he was so
justly proud.
The most touching feature of the demon
stration on yesterday was that it was the
spontaneous outburst of feeling among our
noble women, which spreads to all ages,
classes and conditions, and increased in in
tensity as the day advanced.
Raising Cotton Under Radical Rule.
A correspondent of the Chronicle and Sen
tinel, from Jefferson county, brings the busi
ness of raising cotton under the 5 cents tax
to the test of figures. He says:
Your j)aper says, in one place, that Con
gress (is it our Congress, or are we colonies ?)
has taxed cotton five per cent, and, in other
Congressional proceedings, five cents per
iound—which is it ? [The latter is correct.—
3ds.| Five per cent will make us groan;
but, if it is flye cents per pound, there is no
use in trying to grow cotton at double old
peace prices. Just look at it: Suppose I
make four bales to the hand (and this is first
rate crop,) it will bring me at 20 cents f 400

him to her side, where he shared her confidence
and enjoyed heraffection. It was a strange thing
in one so young to bo so devoted that he would lay
down toy and inducement to sit upon his moth
er’s lap and clasp her form with all the heart
passion of idolatry. In this condition his mind
ripened intoastrength and intelligence beyond
his years ; and although in the very morning of
his life, he has passed away, his memory is
that of age, and his loss that of companionship.
To his relatives he was devoted, and no more
sinless spirit ever wandered from its bowers of
bliss than his. A rill of sunshine through a day
of gloom, his memory will come back and warm
into life the pleasantest and sweetest associa
tions. In looking over his fifteen short years'
there is not a word to forget or an net tv
for his words wero all affections and bis acts all
kindness.
His family had suffered bereavement after be
reavement. He saw his Grand-mother bowed
down with grief over the loo* of her loved ones.
Young as ho was he had followed two aunts, four
uncles, a Grand-father, and hi* own father and
brother to the grave, all caught up to God in
quick and startling succession, and his little
heart had wept over the bleeding and torn ton-
drils of affection until it reflected tho care and
trouble over his own nature, and now called on
so soon to follow; so soon to part with earth in
all its spring of hopes and lie down under tho
flowers, whose beauty and tenderness typifya so
fully his own career; so soon the little arms that
twined around his mother’s neck, shedding blos
soms of fragrance on her life, should be cold and
clasped in death. That the eye that brightened
with the blue of a heavenlier clime should be
shut to the beauties he loved so much; so soon his
spirit should be winging it* flight through angel
throngs to meet the loved ones gone before!—
Another star in Heaven and one less on earth
sums up the loss. But for him how sacred the
thought for youth to treasure up the future so
much of human goodness can promise. Is it less
than happiness*, even amid the swimming dim
ness of tears, to contemplate bis entrance into a
land of flowers whose bloom never dies, and in
the companionship of his father and friends to
watch and wait the gathering of “a whole family
in Heaven?” Even in the tribulation of bereave
ment, tbis thought breathes consolation and
brings dreams of “happier hours” .vhere parting
is no more. May we leave the troubles of time to
wear as bright a crown as he! Lost to us, David
Ralston still lives in the arms of angels. He has
met tbe kissing welcome of those he loved. He
sings the new song, and waves his angel wings in
the blooming garden of God. L.

The Contrast.
On the 26th, when the ladies of Atlanta
went out and decorated with flowers the
graves of the poor Confederate soldiers who
there lie buried, with no powerful govern
ment to provide mausoleums for their remains,
the Federal soldiers on duty there went out
and also strewed flowers upon the graves of
the brave Union soldiers who were whelmed
in the red current of battle around that fated
city. There is in this incident something in
expressibly touching—bronzed and weather
beaten soldiers, bearded men, who probably
had confronted the warriors of the Confede
racy in many a battle-field, touched by the
example of these Southern women, were soft
ened into the humanity of little children, and
with rude but not ungentle hands strewed
flowers upon the tombs of their dead com
rades. * * ■ *
Those battle-scarred soldiers at Atlanta, far
from having their animosity aroused by the
pious act of the glorious Southern women of
that city in paying honor to the memory of
their dead heroes, imitated, it. The incident
has about it something of the sublime, and
would furnish, to a great artist, a theme for
an immortal picture.—Memphis Appeal, 3d.

The crevasses have been abandoned as

Tuesday advices from New York to 14th instant were
received quoting Co'ton firm at 38 to 39c, with gold at

Sea IfcLixDS.—Sales of the week ouly 200 bales, at
prices ranging from 21d < to 72d.
Tbe general aspect of the market has changed but
little since our ast report. The large stock on hand,
the heavy shipments at sea, the uncertnlrly as to the
supply yet remaining in the interior of the Southern
States and India, and the apprehensions ot war on the
Continent, nil continue to weigh heavily upon prices.
It is very certain that the trade both here and on the
Continent are very bare of stock, and could the fear of
war be removed they would probably come Into the
market and stock themselves freely, and thus prevent
any further increase of too stock here. On the 33d ul
timo middling American was at 19^<1 to 19%d, and the
stock of Cotton then here and at sea, as compared with
last year, showed an excess of only 182.560 bales. 8ince
that date the excess has increased as 'ollows: - On 29th
ultimo to 318,773 bales, on 6th instant to 453,520, on 13th
to 454,690, qn 20th to 517,410, and on 27th (to^lay) to 590,-
330 bale*. From tnis it will be seen how rapid the in-’
crease hss been. The actual stock on hand has in the
same time (fire weeks) increased from 401,480 to 821,950
bales.
The artual sale* of the week clesing last evening were
95,550 bales, of which 60,710 were taken by the trade,
24,470 declared for export, and 19,370 on speculation.
Included in the sales were 39,830 biles American, of
which 25,950 were taken by the Trade, 8500 declared for
