Why arc the bells tolling so mournfully slow, And why all this sombre insigna of woe, While a murmur of voices tremulous low, Tells the tale of some stern despair ! From Potomac far out to the broad Rio Grande, A wail of deep sorrow swells forth tlir’gh the land, And the heroes of yore for a time are un manned, While their hearts join as one in a prayer, And the lightning sad tidiugs bears o'er the blue sea, The South mourns her Chieftain—the south weeps for Lee ? In every green hamlet and village and town, In every proud city the head is bowed down For a whisper from mouth unto mouth has crept round, A rumor too sad for belief. Yet too cruelly true, for the swift-winged wire Has crushed with a word the gray-hair ed sire, And the maid and the youth, with eyes of fire, All bow to the despot—grief! ’Tis Aautumn —time of the falling leaf, And the whole South mourns for her fall en Chief, Hushed in the city—a spell is cast O’er its busy trade—all dags at half-mast, As if the spirit of Death had passed Through each late noisy street. Each hall is dffiped in the trappings of gloom, Hark! the knoll of bells and the cannon’s boom. Each sad stroke falls as the knell of doom, Add the tramp of a thousand.feet Follows the hearse—meet emblem of woe, B eeping time to the music’s solemn flow. Oh 1 well may the world speak with bated breath, Ohfi well may the South wear a cypress wreath, For the bravest knight is laid low by death That his keen scythe ever mowed down. As brave as Napoleon, his fame bears no stain — He fought not for glory —he fought not for gain, Nor waded o’er thousads of gory slain, To grasp at a kingly crown. Os all the proud names history’s pages bears but one That can rank with our Lee —our own Washington! His sword dashed in the battle but to de fend [friend— Our land from the foe, once deemed a From a foe who with ruthless hand would rend The stars from our Southern Cross. Oh! “men of the Grey,” your great leader lies low’— The Southland is ruled by a merciless foe, And his patniot heart could not master the blow, But broke with his Country’s loss. Their Captain has followed that brave martyred host, Who gave up their lives for the cause we have lost! In vain our confederacy sent forth her pride To stem the fierce waves of the usurping tide; — Like heroes they lived—and like heroes they died ! Led on by Jackson and Lee. They fought—but oh ! gainst what fear ful odds, They fought—not like men—but like gi ants, like gods, Their blood poured like wine on Virgin ia’s sods, — These patriot’s born to bo free; Hundreds ’gainst thousands —the ground heaped with slain, But the tiower of our Chivalry perished iu vain Yet oh! not in vain , tlio’ our banner is furl ed, TTnconquered we stand in the eyes of the world, Our sacred cause in our hearts impearled As long as those hearts shall beat. Our Chieftain Lee in his fame’s noontide, Has followed Jackson—our country's pride— Across Death’s wave on the other side At the great Law-Giver’s feet. They will pray that Thy raiubow, Lord, may shed Its rays on the South’s now crownless head! Boom! Boom! — list the cannon’s mourn ful roar! The sound is echoed from shore to shore; For a king among men shall lift no more The sword so lately sheathed. Is this the close of his grand career, Shall tyrants no more turn pale with fear The bugle notes of our chief to hear? Oh! Southland, cypress-wreathed! Well may ye mourn for that gallant form, Our star of hope in battle’s storm! no. as. A still, clear day!—'tis a fitting time In the calm October’s glorious prime— No sound but the music's solemn chime, And the cannou’s mournful boom — To look our last on that lordly fuce, To bear the earth-born to earth’s embrace, The kuightliest of a knightly race To lay in the silent tomb; "While—as one man—in hushed despair. The whole South kneels in a mutual pray er! Oh! honored of ages! 0! Savored of Fame I How pure thy record ?—uo shade of blame, Ev’r stained the sheen of thy kuightly name, Aye eveu the generous foe Will weave a garland to deck thy bier K And far-off nations when they shall hear Will slu -1 on they listen a sorrowing tear. That the South’s great Chief lies low’ And the “heroes in grey’ —an orphan band— Will mourn anew o'er their stricken land. Oh! pillow him gently upon thy breast, Virginia, thou mother of heroes!—the best And the saintliest now takes his wcllearn ed rest Cm thy hallowed and blood-etaincd shore. The ceaseless crash of the minute gun, From the Jtoutk to the land of the setting sun, Tells us our Chieftain’s work is done, And his heart’s warm throbbing o’er ! Oh ! Southland women! Your tears shall be A lasting tablet to Robeut Lee ! THE GEORGIA ELECTION LAW. An Act to Provide for an Election, and to Alter and Amend the Laws in Re lation to the Holding of Elections. Section 1.
