THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTIONALIST. WEDXEBDAY MORNING, APRIL 28,1869. [For the Constitutionalist Festival of Flowers for the Dead—lß69. Four years of strife and bloody warfare have been followed by four years of “peace,” in which there has been “nopeace ” for the South. A prostrate nation, clothed in sackcloth; a country whose paths are worn by weary footsteps of homeless wanderers; her silence of death, broken by the voice “of Rachael wet piug for her children, and refusing to be com forted, because they are not”—such is the once “ Sunny South!” Her feverish, thirsty lips, that four years ago in her extremity, breathed words of surrender, have quaffed “no healiDg balm.” She has been mocked by her oppressors again and again, with a seeming tempting cup, which proved only “the goblet of wine, handed at St. Hambourg,” to each victim on his way to execution, to strengthen him in his hour of extremity. Weary of watching for morn ing, as we cry, “ What of the night,” we only catch the watchman’s voice, echoing “the night!" It is biting that such a nation hold even its “ festival of flowers ” “ among the dead /” Four years of watching by your graves have past, Patriots and soldiers I Heavier than the last Passes each cycle o’er the living heart; . We call you blessed—that ye did depart. Yet not the less our grief for common loss, We j >y that you were spared our heavy cross I Harder than weary march, or lonely watch to bear, While catching still the notes of Freedom’s air. In Holy Writ we read, “ These died in Faith,” And “ these in Hope,” the soldier’s record saith, Our lips are sealed in muteness of despair, Hope’s breath would stifle in our Southern air. She spread her pinions o’er the precious dead, And with the last freed soul to Heaven sped; Leaving us Love and Grief—they pitying stand, Sad guard'an angels of this shadowed land. Yet flowers blossom still, and early Spring Hastens her garland o’er your graves to fling, And Love’s own hand affection’s tribute pays, Ye are remembered through all coming days. For mothers to their children’s dust consign This sacred task, as their sad souls resign Themselves to God—then welcome pitying death, Breathing “the dead boy’s name ” with latest breath. Widows, their cypress wreaths will hither bring, And maidens, fairest buds of opening Spring, We love the flowers best that “ deck the tomb,” More fitting there than heightening beauty’s bloom. ****** Oh, lonely graves upon the mountain side; Ob, bleaohing bones, washed by the ocean’s tide; Oh, “ unknown dead,” beside the “ stream of death,” Ye all do share tbe fragrance of Spring’s breath. God scatters flowers far from human eye, Where no sad Rizpah with her midnight sigh, Or morning watch, e’er kept her sacred trust, The Angels guard and tend such precious dust. ****** My mother State, thou empire of our hearts; Though to thy bosom pierced by thousand darts, I Georgia, with blood stain still upon thy brow, I Thy smitten children on thy soil do bow. ■ Thou hast our dead, and thou dld’st give us birth, ■Thus doubly linked to thee, “ our kindred earth ■We swear allegiance by each narrow bed, ■We are all thine—the living and the lead 1 tfeindlng as oekth, sworn on McGregor’s blade, ■Vith words that time nor change can never fade, Ufet not for secret hate, or deadly strife, SVc seal the sacred compact—death and life I jjptrong to endure, we patient “ bide our time Bpur lives like mysteries of holy rhyme; earth’s discord into mighty psalm, fcuch heroes Heaven crowns with victor palm.

Well would it have repaid you, oh! man of com merce and the crucible! and well might you have been reminded of your own city, for here, painted upon a board nailed against one of the huge olive trees, under which the sacred mar tyrs toiled lor the sins of the world, eighteen hundred years ago, were these familiar figures, S.

He cannot be at both stores at once, but his polite and attentive clerks will do just as well by his customers, as he sells strictly at one price; and prides himself bn giving rich and poor, adults or children, the same value for their money. And, il from any cause anything is misrepre sented, he will refhnd the money or make resti tution. He is a hard worker, and knows his business, and Is determined that no man can i undersell him unless he does a “jockey ” trade.

The Secretary of the Society being absent, John S. Davidson, Esq., was requested to act in said capacity. Gen. Robert Y. Harris, the President, said that the meeting expected reports from the Committees on the Topographical Map ol the Country and on the Agricultural Fair, but that said committees were absent, consequently no reports wftuld be made. He alluded to the im portance of the Fair, stating that Atlanta, Sa vannah, and other cities were contributing liberally to matters of public interest and en terprise, which was taking the trade from our city. If we remain behind in matters of this kind, all the country merchants and plant ers will 6eck other channels for trade where the people will entertain them in public ways. He spoke in relation to having 9een a correspondence in the Constitutional ist, which was commented on, relative to the inactivity of our people, and if we did not wake up to the importance of public enterprise we would be commercially rained. He thought that if the Fair was held 20,000 strangers from Georgia and neighboring counties of Carolina would visit the city, giving merchants and others a vast amount of trade. Other cities had given large sums to fire celebrations and medi cal conventions, which would bring trade to those places, and now we must stir ourselves, or else yield to the public spirit of those cities. We have yet done nothing, and do not let us sit down and be taunted with idleness. Capt. Stovall said that a member oi the committee cn Fair, and was present when the committee met, and they had a pleasant and very harmonious meeting. He felt assured that $2,500 or $3,000 could be raised ia the city for the purposes of tbe Fair, and perhaps the City Council would soon be in a condition to contribute something. Putting off the meet ings only tended to delay the proposed Fair, and he desired some action in regard to it at this meeting. •, Capt. Stovall moved that the President ap point a committee of five, to prepare a pre mium list for the Fair, and to report at next meeting. Adopted. The President appointed the following gen tlemen : T. P. Stovall, George A. Oates, C. A. Rowland, J. J. Cohen, W. Henry barren. On motion of Capt. Stovall, a committee of three were appointed by the President to in vite Gen. Bonham, of Edgefield county, to ad dress the Society at its next regular meeting, second Saturday in May. The President appointed Capt. T. P. Stovall; Gen. Lafayette McLaws and J. C. Fargo, Esq, said committee. Mr. C. W. Harris suggested thatan invitation be extended to the Beech Island Agricultural Club for that occasion. The President stated that it was an under standing between the Richmond County Socie ty and the Beech Island Club that a member of one was a member of both societies, by virtue of mutual resolutions adopted by each. Mr. C. W. Harris suggested that the Society would give a Horticultural Fair and a Straw berry Festival at Masonic Hall, and extend premiums ior the best horticultural plants.— By doing this, he thought, an interest conld be gotten up in behalf of the Society ; the ladies, too, would become interested and they would stir up the men. Captain Stovall thought the idea a good one, and calculated to do the Society a great deal ol good, by bringing it to the notice of tbe public. Capt. Warren suggested that the proposed Fair and Festival be held about the 16th of May, at the time the Georgia Railroad Conven tion would be in session. After a little more discussion on the subject, the following resolution was offered by Mr. C. W. Harris: Resolved, That this Society hold a Horticultu ral Fair and Strawberry Festival at Concert or Masonic Hall during Convention week in May, upon a day to be selected by the committee, who shall be appointed by the Chair to arrange the entire programme and preliminaries—the number of said committee to be five. The resolution was passed, afterward recon sidered, and finally withdrawn altogether. On motion of Mr. Rowland, the meeting ad journed till the second Saturday in May, at II o’clock, the place to be selected, at which time it-is expected General Bonham will address the meeting. Who is Edwin Belcher?— The Macon Tele graph answers this question as follows : “ The appointment of Edwin Belcher, (colored) to be Assessor of the Third District of Georgia, vice J. C. Bowles, removed, was announced in yes terday’s telegrams. Belcher was one of the members of the Georgia Legislature declared ineligible on account of color. Bowles, who has been removed to make room for him, is a member of the family of Hon. Joshua Hill. Belcher is a protege of Blodgett, and Blodgett is one of tbe parties now engaged as witnesses against Bowles in a trial for alleged malversa tion in office. We will leave the triad of B’s to settle their conflicts, and the public to draw its own inferences as to the personal signification of the appointment, nnder the circumstances.” Mill Burned.— Thursday night last, Sim kin’s Mill, in Edgefield county, below Beech Island, in South Carolina, was entirely destroy ed by fire. The mill was used as a grist and 6aw mill, and tbe same water power running a cotton gin. Near the mill is a store, where were congregated a crowd of men, and it is thought the fire originated from a match being thrown amoDg some loose cotton, which com municated to tbe mill. The loss of the mill alone is about $5,000, which is a sad calamity to the neighborhood. Besides tbe burning of the mill, a quantity of corn and cotton was also destroyed, the amount of which we did not learn. Supplement.— Don’t fail to read the Supple ment in our paper to-day. This is anew busi ness that Mr. Hewitt, the enterprising hotel keeper, has gone into, who assures the public that he has the pnrest and best Foreign and Domestic Liquors. Fail not to look in at 282, where is suspended tbe big sign. Dental.—A bargain, dirt cheap, In snrgical and mechanical dental Inatrwnenta and tools can be bad on application to “ Druggist,” Washington, Ga. ap7-clm Salaries.— The Governor of Georgia re ceives a salary of $4,000; Secretary of Suite, $3,000; Comptroller General, $3,000; Slate Treasurer, $3,000; Secretaries ol Executive Department, each, $1,800; Messenger Execu tive Department, SSOO ; Bute Librarian, $1,300 ; each of lha Solicitor Generals, $360 lu specie, or IU equivalent; Reporter of the Supreme Court, $1,000; each Judge of the Supreme Court, $3,600 In specie, orlu equivalent; each Judge ol the Superior Court, s(,soo lo oolo> The Bchutzenf*st.—We publish the follow ing for our German lriends, which we take from the Charleston A sirs, of yesterday; The Schntzengesellschaft, or German Rifle Club, of this city, have determined to give a “ \olksfest," this Spring, which shall exceed in splendor and attraction anything of the kind which ha 6 ever before been attempted in Charleston. It will be made to resemble, as far as possible, the same celebrations in the larger German towus, and every, amusement will be aflorded, from a meuagerie and circus to the graceful dance—thus making it attrac tive, not only to onr German population, but to all classes of residents and visitors. In preparation for this grand fete, which will take place May 5, 6 and 7, the club have great ly improved their handsome grounds at the Sehuizenplatz, opposite Magnolia, and have erected an extensive shed to accommodate those visitors who may desire to engage in the masterly and exciting sport of rifle shooting. The rifle clubs of the neighboring cities of At lanta, Angusta, Savannah and Columbia, as also the clnbs of New York, Jersey City and Washington, have been invited and will proba bly attend. It is intended to be an eveut for Charleston, a three days holiday ior her people, and an attraction to thousands oi visitors who will spend their money among ns. In the German cities, where these festivals have been held annually for hundreds of years, it is customary for the merchants of the city where the festival is held, and of adjoining towns, to present the club with specimens of their wares, which are distributed as prizes to the successful competitors in the sports, and being thus publicly exhibited and also noticed in the local press, serve as an excellent advertise ment for the generous donor. The advantage thus to be derived was quickly appreciated by the merchants and manufacturers ot New York last year, and their donations to the National Volksfeet which was given by the Schutzcn gesellschalt of that city were very numerous and of great value. Some of the German mer chants of this city, acquainted with this, custom in their native land, have already signified their intention to make very handsome donations of this kind to the club of this city for their ap proaching festival. To accommodate them and others who are similarly dispose I, the commit tee of arraßgements'have designated the fancy goods store of Mr. Vou Santen, on King street, as a depot, where gifts intended as prizes will be received, and kept on exhibition until the commencement of the celebration. The programme of the “ Volksfcst” will ap pear in a few days, as soon as the preparations arc completed. A Kleptomaniac—A Wealthy Member of the Philadelphia Union League Arrested. —For a long time past a gentleman well known in this city—a man of means, of culture, of re finement —has been in the habit of pilfering various small articles Irom one of the largest and best patronized of onr wholesale and retail grocery stores. The firm, though iully aware of the thefts, bore with them, hardly knowing what course, under the circumstances, to pur sue. At length, however, patience at end, they brought the matter to a culmination on Satur day last by having the gentlemanly thief ar rested in the street. He was conducted back to the store, and there compelled to disgorge the articles he had bnt a few minutes previously stolen. These consisted of a box of cigars and divers other trivial things such as he had been accustomed to take. He then offered to jviy a sum of money equivalent to the value of the articles he bad stolen for two years past, on condition of being let np softly. The firm accepted his proposi tion, when he paid SSOO. The matter is now amicably settled, and all parties satisfied. The kleptomaniac is a member of a large and celebrated political organization in this city, besides being connected with several societies. Through the influence of certain well known politicians, his fast friends, he lately received an appointment from President Grant, as Con sul to one of the European ports. It is under stood that since the disclosure of his “ pecu liarity,” his appointment will be withdrawn, and bis resignation sent in to the organizations of which he is a member. [Philadelphia Telegraph , April 19. Curious Detection op a Criminal.— Not long ago there occurred in Prussia one of those cases of detection of crime by scientific means which interests a large and intelligent class of readers. A quantity of gold, packed in boxes, was dispatched by a railway train. On arrival at its destination, it was discovered that the gold had been stolen from some of the boxes, which were filled with sand to make up for the deficient weight. Measures were at once taken for the discovery of the thief; and that no chance might be lost, Professor Ehrcnbcrg was requested to make a microscopic examination of the sand. The Professor, who is a member of the Academy of Sciences at Berlin, well known for his researches into minnte objects; and his comparisons of volcanic dust from all parts of the world, asked that a quantity of sand from every station by which the train had passed should be sent to him. Examining these one after another, he at last came to a sand which was identical with that found in the gold boxes. The name oi the station whence this sand has been collected was known ; in quiries were set on foot at that station, and among tbe persons there employed the thief was detected. Lingard, at his theatre on Broadway, is in the habit of personating the character oi living men of note. Tbe other night be came out in the character of General Lee, looking, it is said, perfectly like that distinguished hero, and the whole audience responded with lond and prolonged applause. But his next character, immediately following that of Lee, was General Grant, which caused only the faintest response Irom four or five individnals. We have no doubt that this incident reflects very faithfully the relative popularity of Lee and Grant in this city. New York needs reconstructing more than New Orleans does, or even Richmond. [V. Y. Paper. A Model Militia Officer.— Ex-President Johnson, in going recently to Memphis, passed through Humboldt. Some of the Brownlow militia were there, commanded by Major Clingman. The Major,.beinga violent Radical, felt of course no political regard for the ex- President, but, as be thought that some mark of especial respect was due at least to the office which tbe ex-Pres!dcnt bad occupied, and as he appreciated the necessity of maintaining the dignity ol bis own high place, he went so far in his military and personal etiquette as ifttnal ly to turn his paper collar in houor of tbe ex- President’s visit. He is undoubtedly tbe Bay ard of the Tennessee militia.—Courier Journal. Precocious.— An urchin leading a small dog along tbe streets, some days ago, was accosted by a gentleman as follows: “ Well, my son, what’s yonr dog’s name?” “ Hain’t got any name yet.” “ Well, why don’t yon name him ? Give him some good name. Call him Andy Johnson.” “ I don’t like that; ’twould be disrespectful to the President.” “ Well, then, name him Beast Butler.” “ I won’t do that neither, for that would be disrespectful to the dog.” They Don't Publish It.— Very few of tbe Radical papers copy the story of a family, con sisting of an old lady, her daughter, and her grandson, who were lately turned out of a bouse in Hardwick, Vermont, during a snow storm, for non-payment Os rent, and who were subsequently found dead in a drift. But if it bad been a colored brother, booted oot oi a smoke boose while stealing bacon, down in Georgia, how the whole Radical press wonid have rung with tbe outrage. f Americus Courier, "Rev.
