In. the vast procession, which, after thfe- addresses, wended its way to the silent city of the dead, where peace fully sleep the brave men whum we honor, every class of citizers was represented. • Some of the most prominent orders and societies marched with banners, a d in uniform. The University battalion, with per fect step, and in soldir y mein, added much to ,the oolemo pageant. At 5:30 o’clock, the exercises were introduced by a tender, appropriate prayer, by Dr. C. A. Lane, after u’jjuch Miss Tyler, of the choir, which w'as under the co trol of Frof. Camp bell, sang in faultless manner, with clear enunciation, and perfect expres sion, the ‘‘King of Love,” by Gau- r od, and closed with “Jesus Shall Reig v’ to the tune of “Watch on the Rhine.” The singi- g was beau tiful, and the se’ecfions most appro priate for the occasion. The follow ing composed the choir: Mrs. George Hodgson, Mrs. Muir, Miss Tyler, Messrs. Bond, Willcoxou, Crawford and Me'.l. Whereupon Hon.B E. Over by, vice-President of the Confederate Survivors’ Associatior, arose and in troduced lion. E C. Tuck, who spoke as follows:* - ...y ■■ Ladies of - the Memorial Association, Ladies and gentlemen: The highest and noblest tribute to a people’s viit'io and a nation's worth, is the rfspect and reveience which they pay' to the memory of tlieir heroic (lead. Next to the feeling of reverence and awe paid tile great Creator of the nni- virse, the spirit of homage and respect which they pay the memory of their he roes and li- roiivs takes “deepest hold on humanity.” “Patuotisin has its altars in every clime, its worshippers and its festivi ties.’’ Outof the fullnefes and abundance of its people, the nation has erected monu ments to the memory of its heroes, bat out of her penury and poverty has the South erected memorials in honor of her brave and heroic dead, who died fight ing for as sacred a principal of Govern ment, as they believed, as did their rev olutionary fathers; to wit: “The right of local self government. They were not successful in their attempt as were their revolutionary sire?, because the God of battles ordered otherwise, but they are nevertheless* our heroes still. The war is past, and we are willing to let “the dead past bury the past.” But justice to the memory of the dead and motives of the living demand that we should say on this occasion, that in taking the step we did “ihe South vio lated no bond; she did no wrong,” and “where is the arm to strike, if after an insult and threat had been offered she waited not for the overt act, but left her home, the house her father buUt, be cause there she was to be only dishon ored and betrayed.’’ I shall not speak of the progress of that dreadful civil war, which for four years devasted this fair land of ours--the fairest the sun ever shone upon, and drenched her foil in fratricidal blood, but, when at last, the South had to suc cumb to the overwhelming odds of men and money, and her star of empire went down to darkness to lise no more, it set “as setB the morning star, which goes not down behind the darkened west, nor hides obscure amidst the tempests of the sky, bat melts away into the very light of heaven.” The South never undertook or prose cuted any war for the purpose of subju gation or conquest; she only fought in self-defense for independence, and of her it has been truly said : ‘*That no na tion ever rose so white and fair, or fell so pure of crime.” To use the language of the ’great Ben Hill “we are again back in our father’s bouse, and there we intend to remain.” We mean to be true to the Union of the States under the Constitution, but we mean to be true, nevertheless, to the memory of our heroic dead. Their names and deeds are our priceless heri tage to be prized next to life itself. “Nor shall their glory he forgot While fame her rescue keeps, Or honor points the hallowed spot Where valor proudly sleeps.” \v hat can I say that will do full jus tice to the heroic conduct and self-sacri fice that characterized the noble women of the State daring the terrible s ruggle? If they didn ? t ba’tle at the frvnt, as did their fathers and brothers, they fought the equnlly ba*d fight at home, of pov erty and adversity, and did as much in their way Jo keep the government of Mr. Lincoln busy for the f ur year* the war lasted as did the divisions of Johnson or the legions of Lee. The war being over her llanos wera at once working to re pair the ravages which that awful war had brought. Through her agency the 26th day of Apr 1 l as been made a per petual memorial day io F'-is and other Southern States, and with each recur ring year, fragrant flowers by her fail hands are spread ov> r tlm remains of our sleeping heroes—fragrant flowers so suggestive of the tend-rues* and purity in the hearts .of those by whom ihev are besiovred. For years since the war the sentiment of cur peop’ehas principally crystallized in the shape of;?ointments, and memo rials, but of Dt? it has take-i a mrre PfiViical shape, and has, trfitcriahzcd in ihe building, of ConfcdcrHomes for the benefit of our disabled veteran* And Henry Grady never uttered a lof tier sentiment or did* nobler deed, tlmr. when he called fi r the building of a Georgia Confederate Home by Georgians and judging by the way in which his bug’* c«ll has been answered by the people of Georgia, it is fair to‘infer that soon there will b? erected a Homo wlrch wiJl do credit alike to the heart of the editor who suggested it, and the soul of the ere *t people who havs so generously re sponded. And with her millions over- flowingin the t-essurv to-dar, I do no: know of a more gricions act the Gene ral Government could do i ban to appro priote a simll portion of the surplus for th 8 charitable and benevolent pur pose. The people of the South feel their duty and responsibility in this matter, and will prove true to it. In Georgia our aged and disabled vet erans will Foon be provided with a Con federate Home, where they can spend their declining years in p'-ace until they l-ass to that higher and happier home, “-whose portion is Gnl, and whose heri tage forever is peace - ” HR. MITCltELIi’s SPEECH. lion. A. L. Mitchell, in behalf of th Confederate Survivors’ Association, arose and spoke as follows: Mr. Chaiiman: At a meeting held to-dav the Confederate Survivors’ As sociation adopted.resolutions in memory of Mrs. Laura Rutherford, so long the honored President of the Ladies’ Me morial Association, and I ato request ed by my comYadeg to present the same resvrfu tio ft* ‘ trere ,-awd*Ht-«8k<toe- -concur rence of this a semblage. The Confederate soldiers never had a better frienl than Mrs. Rutherford During all the long years of the fierce and unequal contesr, her neart was with the so diers in tlm field, and her busy hands at work to relieve their suffering, From first to last she was devoted to the cause, and to the men who fought for it. And when “the warrior’s banner took its flight to greet the warrior’s soul” she was foremost iu perpetuating the memory of tbe heroic Confederate dead. To have worn the “gray’’ with honor was a passport? to her confidence and esteem. She loved Southern sol diers and Southern soldiers loved her. Her loyalty never wavered, her devotion never weakened. And there never ws s time when her noble heart pulsated unison with any ideas of the new South which dishonored the old. As long as a member of our association survives,her death will be mourned and her memory revered. We oflfcr the following resoluHons: Whereas, Since the last anniversary of the Ladies’ Memoml Association, the efficient President- thereof has been suddenly removed by death, it seems fitting for us ■ to bear testimony to her many gracea of character, exhibited in a long and useful life, during which her modest worth and loyal zeal were never more conspicuous than in her reverence for the heroic dead of the South. Therefore, Be it resolved by the Con federate Survivors Association— 1st. That in the death of Mrs. Laura Rutherford we have sustained an irrep arable loss. There is no living per son who by reason of intellect, and loy alty and long associations from the very beginning of those “troublous times which tried men’s souls,” could excite in us such reverence and homage. After the first blast of war until th® close of it, she was the most active member of the Soldiers’ Aid Society, and amidst the most appalling discouragements and with heroic sacrifice, depriving her own home of comforts, did all she could, and by her noble example indited others to follow in her steps. 2d. It should be acknowledegd that to her more than to any other person, liv ing or dead, we are due tbe memorial shaft which commemorates in marble tbe heroism of our illustrious dead. 3d. That both as an example and in grateful remembrance, and as an encour agement to posterity,hereafter, while de corating the graves of our beloved Confederate dead we will lay upon her grave also a chaplet of laurels, emblem atic of that immortal life on which she has now entered. 4tb. That the surviving Confederate soldiers tender to those who are near and dear to her the sincere sympathy of men who have suffered, and wg pray God that each one of them, and of us, may meet her “beyond the river under the shade of the trees.” 5th. That the Secretary be requested to furnish a copy of these resolutions to each of the daily papers of our city, and Me: that these original resolutions be sent to the family of the beloved deceased. And now Mr. Chairman, I move the adop'ion of these resolution*, th:s entire audience participating, by a rising vole. Whereupon the Hon. H. H. Carlton seconded the resolutions, in the follow ing beautiful and sppropriate speech : • CAPT. CARLTON’S SPEECH. Mr. President, m,y surviving fellow comrades and ivpecled audience: With a pleasure and an honor deeply and pro foundly alloyed with sadness, do I rise to second the resolutions which have so beautifully, and go touchingly told of the., love and esteem every Confederate survivor bore toward th# subject of these expressive words, and their deep, heart-felt sorrow at the loss of the sol diers’ best and truest friend. In at tempting to speak to these resolutions, I find within me a sentiment which could be far ni >re eloquently expressed with the silent tear than in any language at.my command. We have come not here to-day, my f f How-aomrades, this beaot'ful decora tion day, with bl’ass anil marble with which to erect the lofty column, or the monumental shs.fr, commemorative of heroic deeds, or the achievements of of statesmanship. No, a higher, nobler, more saored and heart-felt service is the solemn duty, the s«d pleasure of the hour. With eyes moistened with the tears of truest affection, with, hearts stricken with the sorrow of purest 'ove. we come to shed afresh the soldiers’tear, o’er the grave of one we loved, and to enshrine anew npon the tablets of our hearts, the memory of her who was the soldier s fasiest friend, while, with hands trembling with the sacrednesa of the duty,we would adorn, with nature’s pures f , sweetest offerings, the last resting plaGeof nature’s truest daughter. Fellow-comrades, how fitting is this soldiers’ memorial day for the offering of tribute to the momory of one we so much loved, and whose loss we so deep ly deplore. With hearts heat : ng in unison with the occasion, and as wc bring the purest, fairest and freshest flowers of spring with which to pay a soldier's tribute to the good, the pure, the innocent,the patiiotic woman, let us in the lau.uage of him who o’er Ophe lia’s grave did weep, exclaim: -vjjty her in the earth, And from her fair and unpollute 1 flesh May vi .let*, sweet violets, eternally spring.” to the Ladies Memorial Association, and To attempt to eulogize so good and so j.rue a woman as was Mrs Rutherford one whose good deeds, whose noble works, as an ever enduring monument io her goodness cfjieart, her purity of "’character, and 'uhjrfSttltn . pat riotism, will live on and on so long as the memory of man shall be, would be as useless as it would he violative of all taste and pro priety. The true Christian woman and the patriot that she was, she leaves be hind her a lasting monument, which no hand of art can improve, which no eu logist cm tmbelish. Yonder Confeder ate monument, as sacred of her devotion to the soldiers’ cause as it is sacred to the memory of those departed heroes she so much honored, will stand a mon ument to her noble deeds, so long as its pure white shaft shall point heaven ward to the home of its sainted author. This Ladies Memorial Asso ciation, of which she was the founder and so long its honored President, will continue an honor to her memory—so long as the fair daughters of our Sunny South land—shall do honor lo the memon of those who fought and fell for their country’s cause. This sacred Memorial Day, which she so strove to inaugurate and perpetuate, as long as it shall be made commemorative of our Confederate dead, so long shall it be commemorative of her, whose devotion to the Southern soldiery, during the perilous hours of war. was only exceed ed by her honor and respect for the memory of these who gave their lives, a sacrifice, in defense of a cause they be lieved to be righteous, and a country they ioved so well. Believing as I do, my fellow comrades, in that protective Providence, which is as availing in war, as it is in times of peace, how many of us I would ask, are here to-day, to do honor to the menory of that Christian woman and friend, through whose earnest and unceasing prayers' perchance was vouch-safed our escape from the dangers of war ? So long as yonder churches shall stand; so long a§ shall be remembered the women’s’ daily . prayer meetings, which were co-existant with our civil strife, so long as shall be remember ed that the prayors of our Christian women at homes, depopulated of their surdy warriors, followed us upon every battle field and camping ground so long shall we continue to reverence and do honor to the msmory of that true christ&in woman, that true friend and patriot, who so earnestly and so uncroasingly pleaded our cause and our safety: at the throne of Him, who ruled our destiny in times of war,as He controls it in times of peace. J Fellow comrades, to-day, there’s sor row in our ranks. In yonder "beautiful “City of the dead,” steeps the soldier’s friend, side by side, with onr fallen comrades, so much honored, and in memory of whom this sacred day has been consecrated.Then with each return ing year—“"When earth shall fling off her wintry sadness,” and “When spring with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck the hallowed mould,” let us unite with this honored Memorial Association, as it gathers, “Where sleeps our fallen braves in their hillocks green,” aid with purest, fairest flowers, pluckid by the hands of affection andi friendship, and whose fragrant sweet ness, so forcibly inculcates the superior charms of Christian virtue let us adorn tbe last resting place of her, whose beau tiful life has taught us tnat, “The only amaranthine flower on earth is virtue: The only lasting treasure, truth Mr. President: The resolutions which have been so betutifully and so elo quently presented, speak* not only the sentiment of our Survivor’s Associa tion, but the sentiment, of a whole com munity, who so loved ami appreciated our departed, now sainted friend and pa- Iri ?t. Then, sir, ns has been requested, 1 trust their adoption will be by the unani mous and rising vote of this sorrow- stricken audience.. 1'hen the vast assembly- arose, and gave hearty and sympathetic assent^ to this tribute, to the cultared and zeal ous lady, whose death is so sincerely mourned. Resolutions of Respect. At the last meeting of the Ladies’ Memorial Association the following res olutions of respect were adopted upon the death of their President, Mrs. Rutherfi>rd: The death of the noble woman, who for so many years presided over this Association, has called fonh many tri butes of respect and affection—tributes well deserved, and eminently due her memory. We, of the Memorial Association, through desire to add one leaflet to the garland of loving remembrance which encircles the memory of a life devoted to the good and the true. Remembering how she was the lead ing spirit in this work, how her zeal and devotion to the cause—both before and after it was lost—never fl iggr-d. How through her unwearying perseverance alone the fund for our Confederate Monument was raised, and how Memo rial Day has been hallowed in our hearts by her faithful observance. Be it resolved. That, in the loss of our late President, Mrs. Laura Ruth erford we fully appreciate her great use fulness, her patriotism, her zeal so con stantly displayed in behalf of this so ciety. That, in her death the society has sus tained a grievous anti irreparable loss, which fills our hearts with sorrow. That we hereby tender to herbe- reaved family this expression of our heartfelt sympathy, and with them treasure in honored remembrance the memory of her worth, and the inspira tion of her example. The resolutions were adopted by •vicing vote r and it was mos&l that they be published in the city papers and a Copy forwarded to the family. THE SURVIVORS. The Confederate Survivors Associa tion met at the Council Chamber, Mr. B, 15. Overby presiding, with Dr. E. D Newton secretary. There was a very large number of the old veterans pres ent, and after passing fitting resolutions on the death of Mrs. Rutherford and tn H. W. Grady for the interest he has taken in building a soldiers home, a subscription was taken up and five dol lars and twenty-five cents was raised for the Confederate home. The vete rans then left the hall, and were formed on the sidewalk, and marched to the chapel. GATE RECEIPTS. The gate receipts at the cemetery reached $25.86. $18 31 of the amount goes to Hollywood cemetery, $7.55 to to the Soldiers Home in Atlanta. $5.25 Of the amount was subscribed by the Confederate Veterans. A Woman’s Charms. soon leave her, when she becomes a victim to any one of the various disord ers and peculiar “weaknesses” that ai*e peculiar to the fair sex. The condition of tens of thousands of women to-day is pitiable in tbe extreme; they are weak, bloodless creatures, a prey to mental an guish and bodily pain; in a word, brok en-down,” from any one of numerous causes. To this unhappy multitude we strongly urge the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, an infallible, world-famed remedy, for all “female” ir regularities and“ weaknesses,’’and which restores the worst sufferer to vigorous health, and reinvests her with all the charms of figure, face and complexion, that receive such willing homage from man.
