Thomas Hardeman at the unveilin-j; i f the Confederate Aionuraent in 3Iacon October, 29th: What means this gran 1 pageant ? This burnished armor, these nodding plumes, this maitial music? Why is the tramp of the soldier heard on our streets and why are the bosoms of this surging throng heaving witii emotions strong and unutterable ? Does the war drum summon on to arms and the roar of artillery forebode a earning con>* flict ? Do we snufT to dav the battle breeze and fe« l the inspiration of the battle charge ? Thank God, a nega tive response wells up from every heart that beats and throbs before me. Ours is a mission ot jieaca and love. The present conies to pay tribute to the pa*t, bringiug with her a p'edge ot her siuceiity now and proif of fu- turo remembrance. The living art- doing homage to their dead, while heaven blesses the scene with the sun shine of approval and earth applauds the purposj with the thunder of her artillery. We come to pay honor to our Contoderato dea 1 and to accord hear.felt praise to the molhirs and daughters of Macon for this beautiful and durable memorial of the heroism and patriotism ol our fallen heroes. The hope of its projection was born in woman’s heart, it was watered by wpman’s tears, it was sustained by woman’s prayers and reached its cons summation by woman’s untiring efforts Gratefully do 1 acknowledge here her watchful guardianship over the ashes of oar dead. Ladies of the Memorial Association : The long night of your hopes amid doabts and anxiety has entieJ, and morning has come, with her cheering sunlight of happy reali zation. Your duties are over, your woi k is accomplished. Thu shalt that took shape in your hearts has assumed symmetrical proportions in the pol ished marble that now lifts its finished ed summit—the sunlight of heaven gilding its top—the hopes and memo ries ot e.nth clinging around its Lase. Your Confederate monument is un veiled to-day to this admiring multi tude. There it stands a model of architectural skill and beauty—the spokesman of its own grand purpose, the eloquent orator of its own design. Poesy may strike its sweetest harp of praise to the memory of our dead ; eloquence in glowing, burning strains may recite their heroic deeds, their chivalric daring, their patriotic death; but that marble column trill spook to coming generations, when the poet’s barp is unstrung and the tongue of the orator is silent in death, it will speak ol fidelity to principle, of devo tion to civil liberty, of patriotic pur poses,of patient endurance, of Christian fortitude and immortal memories, in language as soft as the zephyr’s song, “which none can trace,” sad as the echo of a sigh which none can fathom, eloquent as the falling tear which none canresist, aud as potent as mother’s prayers which unbars the golden gates of bliss. * * * • Yet had this marble remained un touched in the quarry, had beauty and devotion not reared the monumental column, dead heroes you would still live in memory and in song, lbr in Southern hearts you are enshrined, and by running streams and on mountain heights your history is written and your names en rolled, which will survive as long as those rivers flow their waters t-> the sea, or those mountains lift their heads to the clouds. Speak on then, expressive orator, to-day, and tell your auditors Lerc and those that will "near yon in the comiug years, that as duty led those you commemorate to battle and to d -atb, s> duty to their government should stimulate them to encourage and maintain peaceful re’a- tions and national fraternity, and to forget the misfortune*,and estrange ments of th ? past in the pleasing an ticipations of a more peaceful and prosperous government iu the future. * * * * then, bnt not ant i then, expect as to forget the past, radiant with the record of our braves and embalmed with the memory of oar dead. It ia not of the past, bnt of the present and the future I would now speak, and here, while that marble personification of Southern manhood, of Southern chivaliy, of Southern fi delity, looks down upon those who participate in the ceremonial exercises, that are connected with the history of the men whose memories this mon ument will commemorate aud perpet uate, I appeal to you, Georgians, by the sacred recollections that cluster around this now consecrated spot to renew you fealty to the State for which they died, aud so develop her varied industries, so elevate her mor al sentiment, so increase her educa tional facilities, that Georgia’s great ness and glory in the future may be your monument, around which shall gather ass-xantioas as grateful as those that hollow tiiese unveilin' exercises. And may the memories of our fallen braves, a-so iated with your own, be transmittei to a posterity who iu our own Georgia through coming ages shall rejoice iu ’he prosperity of hap py homes aud in the full enjoyment of those great civil and religious priv ileges which are so richly guarant.-ed by Providence to a prospems, i..tel- ligent and Christian peop’c Motion'rss type of the past, elo quent monitor of the present and the future, all hail! When years shall comptele their cycles and those pres ent shall sleep in the grave, you will stand unmoved and immovable, while those that will leaa at yonr base to gaze upon your crowning beauty, will dwell with patriotic pride upon the eon- c j, rc ter of the men you coniinemo- ra e, and bless the noble women, who-e patriotic devotion and undying lore were the pillar of cloud by day a:i-l of fire by night, that cast th.? shadow and light iqton their | athway through the wilderness to the Canau of promise.

The 1*< Legislature na-se 1 au act ‘•stablUhing a Slate Norm tl School for Georgia. This institution will he a branch of the State University. It will receive annually fii.lMO from the State and an equal sum from the Pea body fund. It will be 1 *ca’ed in the city offering the greatest inducements. It seems to me important that Augus ta should, through the R -ard of Edu cation, make an effort to have the es tablishment ot this college in our city. The many advantages flowing direct ly and indirectlv’from its lo.-ation here cannot be stated without extending this leport beyond the limit author ized at the time It Is proper, how ever, to remark that as a result of its location the entire amount appropria ted to its support must be expended among onr people. It would bring among us a large number of persons who contemplate devoting themselves to the cause of public education, such as to make them a great power in the South. After a careful investigation of the subject, it is bdieved that a suitable lot can lie obtained and col lege building erected thereon with all the latest improvements at a cost n >' exceeding $10,000. Tiiese buildings could contain a number of our <>« i schools to serve as modal *cho >’i f*r the college proper, and thus on iW“ us to secure the best of teaching with oat additional cost Other (daces are making strong efforts to obtain this college, and what is to be done by the Board of Education of Richmond county mast be done at once. I rec ommend the appointment of a commit tee of five to ascertain ifa lot can be secured and the necessary ram raised by snliscription to construct the col lege buildings. If this can be done, then the committee to make an offer in the name of the Board of E-ln -a tion of Richmond oonnty, to the prop er authorities, offering to erect the necessary buildings, the entire cost with let not to exceed $10 000, if the college is located in Augusta. Of the ram named I am willing to contribute one thousand dollars and have but little doubt bnt that the whole amount can be raised if the authorities will agree to locate the college 1 here. Respectfully rabmittel. Jonx S. Davidson, President. On motion of Mr. Calvin, the re po t was adopted and the President authorized to appoint the commit tee. Mr. Reid moved that the President be Chairman of that committee. Adopted. - The President appointed the fol lowing committee: M*-ssrs. Cogin, O’Donnell, Calvin M. J. Carswell and John T, Miller News a* Moves. From the Atlanta papers we team at the following [ Newnan, acting as pointed, by the p< called on State Sch Orr: Judge Buchanan, Judge Bigbv, Judge Feitlien)ton. Hon. P.

Who an look bae k with more honest pride than we ot the South upon the histo ry of that past, wbora* every page the brilliancy of patriotic Brewster, Mr. Samuel Freeman, and ' Sir. lavender Ray. The object of their visit was to inquire in what form they should prepare a regular tender of grounds awl buildings' for the lo cation of the new State normal school to be estah’bhed under the act of the recent legislature. Dr. Orr gave them the desired information, and it probable that the citizens of Newnan will at an early day make a formal offer of snch hnfldmg* and groan l- as will lie ’lecesciry for the proper maintenance of t ie school. (From the New Plutarch.] It was characteristic of the boy that his first essays, in composition, were against cruelty to animals His mates were in the habit of catching the land-terrapins or tortoises, and putting lire coals npon their hacks to make them walk, which greatly an noyed voung Abraham. All who knew him in boyhood or later in life bear witness that his tenderness was equal to bis calm courage and his tre mendous physical strength. . Mr. Lincoln was of so gentle a dis position that he seldom refused to sign s pardon, anil a weeping widow or orphan could always induce him to pardon the worst malefactors. The manner in whieh he would mingle his humorous fancies not only with serious business, bnt with almost tragic incidents, was very p-cuHar.— O co a ’poor man from Tennessee railed to beg for the life of his son who was uuder sentence of death for d-s irtion. He showed his pap -rs. and the President taking them kind ly said he would examine them and aos-ver the applicmt the next day.— I’he old man, in an agony of anxiety, with tears streaming, cried, ‘*To mors row will bo too late! My son is under sentence of death. It must be done now, or not at all!” The President lo iked sympathetically in the ol l in in’s face, took him by the hand* and pensively said : “That pats me in mind of a little story. Wait a bit.— I’ll tell it: Once Gen. Fisk, of Mis souri, was a colonel, and despised swearing. When he raised his regi meat iu Missouri he proposed lo his men that he should do all the profan ity in it. They agreed, and for a time uot a solitary swear was heard among them; but th'-re was an old teamster, named John Todd, who one day when driving bis mules o/er very b 11 road, aud finding them unusually obstinate, .coal-1 not re strain himself, and hnrst into a tre mendous display of ground aud lofty swearing. This was overheard by the Colonel, who at oace brought John to book. ‘Didn’t you promise,’ he said, indignantly, ‘that I was to do all the swearing of the regiment ?’ Yes, I did, Colonel,’ he replied, ‘but the truth is, the swearing had to be done the i, or not at all, and you weren’t there to do it." Well,’’ cm- tinned Mr. Lincoln, as lie took up his peu. “it seems that this pardon has to be done now or not ot all, like Todd’s swearing, and for fear of a mistake,’’ he, added, with a kindly twinkle a his eye, “I guess we’ll do it at mice ’’ Saji ig this he wrote a few lines which caused the bid ului lo shed more tears when he read them, for it contained the pardon of his sou. Holland tells me that in a letter to him a friend of the President wrote : *1 called on him in the eirlier part ot the war. He had just written a aardon tor „ a young man who ha 1 heeu sentenoed to be shot for sleeping at his post as sentinel.”' He remark ed ;is he rea l it to me, “I could not think of going into eternity with the blood of that poor young man on my skirls.” Then he added, “It is not to be wondered at, that a boy raised on a farm, probably in the habit of going to bed at dark, should, when required to watch, fall asleep, aud I cannot consent to shoot him for such an act.” This story has a touching comimi uioii iu the fact that the dead body of the youth was found among Clio cluia ou the field of Fredericks burg, wearing next his heart a pho tograph of the great President, be neath which was writteu, “God bless President Lincoln.’’ Once when general went to Washington to urge the execution of twenty-fonr deserters, believing that the army was in dln- I ;er from the frequency of desertion, ’resident Lincoln replied: “General, there arc already too many weeping widows in the United States. For God’s sake don’t ask me to add lo the uumber, for I won’t do it’’ Mr. Lincoln was very ingenious in finding reasons for Wing merciful. On one occasion, a young soldier who had shown himself very brave in war, and had been severely wounded, after a time be*erted. Bang recaptured he was under sentence of death and President Lincoln was, of course, pe tilioned lor bis pardon 'Hie Presi dent mused solemnly, until a happy thought struck him. “Did you say he was once badly wounded?” he ask ed ot the applicant for the pardon. He was.” * Then, as the Scripture savs, “in the shedding of blood is the re mission of sins,’ J guess we’ll have to let him off this time.” Whatever may be said of Lincoln, he was always simply aud truly a good man. lie was a good fat'ier to his children, and a good President to the people, whom he loved as it they had been his children. His inaugural address, “short but remarkable tor vigor and a yerv con ciliatory spirit,” contained the*.- memorable words: “With malice to ward no one, with charity to all, with firmness in the right a* God gives u< to do the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to cure for him who shall have borne the batll», and for his widow and orphans ;_to do all which may achieve and cherish a jnst and lasting peace among ourselve and with ail nations.” After Life’s Fitful Fever. Burial op Db Lovick Pierce at Columbus. Yerterdar afternoon the friends ot Dr. Lovick Pierce, in this city, who are numbered by the thousand, were called upon to perform the last aud sacred duty, that ot laying the re mains in their last resting place. Ou arrival of the 2:15 p. in. train of the Southwestern railroad o i which were the remains, a number of ministers and trieuds hod assembled to escort them to St. Luke church, from which the funeral took place at 3 o’clock. Long before the arrival of the hearse with its occupant, who had beentis the father ot Methodism in our State, a perfect stream of men, women and children were seen wending their way to the church. Bj’ the lime the ser vices begun nearly every available spice was filled. Among the congaega ion were many aged ladles, who liadknowu the doc tor almost from his entrance in the work ot God, To these it was in deed a sad occasion. All seemed to feel the solemnity of the hour and with hearts weighed with sadness and head* bowed with grief awaited the arrival of the remains. Tne history of this mighty an,d untiring laborer in the viuej'ard of the Lord was n ,l unfa miliar to those present, and thoughts of bis lifetime devotion to the cause, his position in the church, and stead fastness in performance of the duty hal a tendency to make them all feel that truly a great in in had passed away, and gone to the reward prom ised the laulifut. On entering the church Rev J S Ky, of Macon, read some ap* propriaie collections ou tae life ot the deceased. Rev B F Breedlove read the 1st h-sson from the 90th Psilm. Rev J O A Clarke read the 739lh hymn, wuich was sung by the choir and congregation Rev J P Duncan then offered one of the most beautiful prayers we have ever listened to, and it touche 1 the hearts of all. Rev G G N Maedounell read the 2d lesson 1 Cor., 15. Rev J \V Hin ton, D. D„ read the 737th hymn, which was sung by the choir and con gregation. The iuuenil sermon was eut y ve . lra 0 -J next February, then preached by Rev A G Hay good. His text was from Acts, 13-30 37: measure of compensation received by his predecessor for such work be would receive. [Applause.] The former Treasurers,, "Mr. Angier and Mr. Jones, had received for such service one and a quarter cent* for each cou pon signed; so Mr Renfroe says in substance, if jou insist I will accept the same pay my predecessors did for the same service. Tuis amounted to $247. The President of the road in sisted on his taking it aud Mr. Ren- fron received it.” The inaccuracy in the above state ment of Major Gumming consist* in the idea that is conveyed that after the con pons were signed the officials of the Northeastern Railroad Compa ny voluntarily proffered to and insist ed on Mr. Renfroe accepting compen sation for his services. The facts are these, ns shown by the evidence of Mr. A. K. Childs, President of the Northeastern Railroad Company, giv en before tho special committee on State Treasury: “Mr. Renfroe told Mr. Childs and myself, after the coupons bad lieen signed and delivered to us, that lie was entitle! to pay for signing them, and that the law allowed it. \Ve were surprised at this, as we hod not before this heard of anv charge for signing the coupons. Mr. Renfroe said that his predecessors were allowed pay for signing coupons, and on his demand, we {aid him 8247. This demand wa J ui i-ic upon u< without our having made any proposition whatever to pay Mr. R-.-nlroe. The first intimation we had that any money was to *be paid came from Mr. Renfroe himself, on the day that we received the bonds and paid the mon -y to Ilia.” In making this correction, my pur pose is to give the real facts of the interview between Mr. Renfroe, Mr. ChvMs and myself, at the time we paid him the moii-y, as I am unwilling lo remain in th : light iu which Major Camming’* account ot that interview places mu, and desire that the real position of Mr. Child* and myself in ibis matter should be known. Ver, re pectfully, R. L. Moss. The late .Mr. Blai-kwood had that remarkable correctness of judgment which fixed the value of an article without being intlucno-d by the lame or obscurity of its autlnVr. When George Eiiot sent the first part of “Scenes from Cerical Life” to ni* Ma gazine, lie warned Thackeray that hi* most :orii idaiil ■ rival m the field ot fiction had just been discovered.

Old Mr. Harris, of Duubuque, called on bis friend of former years, Gen. Grout, at Galena, and taking two cigars from s roll of paper, said: “General, you gave me one of these cigars when you was general of the army, mid I resolved not to smoke it until you. should be made President.
