ar ihe following linea are respectfully in
scribed to the "Griffin Memorial Association"
by leola.
Twine those flowrets—twine them gently,
Twine them o’er each grave so dear ■
Kindly tend them blooming sweetly,
Watered by a nation's tear.
Calm ihey breathe of hopes now sleeping
Hopes that, like the morning d-w.
Left us. oh! so sadly—weeping
While beneath the cross (hey drew
Far from homes where loved ones lingered,
Fell those heroes, sweetly sleeping—
Sleeping for the Hag so treasured
For the land now wildly weeping.
Tho’its owu loved banner’s foiled,
Tho’ its cherished hopes are fled—
Tho' by ruthless hands ’tis soiled,
Forget we ne’er our noble dead.
Twine them for that severed band,
For that father dying slowly ;
I wine them with a loving hand,
For that mother bowing lowly ;
Tend them kindly for that brother,
F’or that darling mourning sister ;
T»iue, oh! twine them for another.
For that wife and orphans round her
Gather from the field of battle
llio-e who theie so bravely fell—
Fell amid the musket's rattle,
Cannon’s roar, and booming Bhcll.
Still our aching hearts do mourn thee,
Martyred heroes, rudely slain,
Beauty still breathes sweetly' round thee,
Lovely South, ’mid ruins lain.
We fain would rear a mound so high
That angels might around it wing,
And twilight zephyrs, whispering nigh,
A sweet, but muuruftil requiem sing;
While calmly o'er each low-lain head
The midnight's gentle, guardian host
So surely watch the „ls, pi. g dead,
Each at its owu eternal post.
Griffis, August 7th, 18till.

Lvoiy Uiiy now Prentice is throwing out
some little slut against the (South ; and the
iSoutheVn journals, many of them, are re
producing said little slurs, as il whut he
was saying, were so many harmless little
truths—smart, pleasantries to be laughed at,
and then perhaps to be forgotten. One day,
the Louisville editor will say “he likes
the tone of most of the Southern editors,
but the horses that some of them ride, are a
little too high and perhap-, the nest day,
he is for putting southern editors who clo
not see any thing good in Yankeedom, and
Yankee editors who do not see any thing
trood in Dixie, at the bottom of the ocean, to
be weighted down by a league of brine ; and
hen again, he is exercising himself, to the
extent of a regular leader, against some pa
riotic Southern woman who likes not Sher
man, and plainly says so, and manufactures
the word “ Shermanized.”
Prentice is too old a chicken not to mean
■ny thing by these little flings of his against
the South and the Southerners. Some time
ago he had a tremendous mock-quarrel with
Parson Drown low, and some of the very
elect of the South wti-e so deceived as to be
lieve it was a buna Jiile, genuine quarrel.—
Utiiers a ain saw through the trick, and
.-poitivoly cried out, •* Hurrah lor Brown low!
well dune Kr Prent ce !’
Prentice finding out. le couli not bam
boozle tbe llhole South by his Brownlow
mclo-drama, is now mad about it, and hence
his sly hits and innuendoes—all pieparato
ry, mind what we say, to his desertion of
tbe South, whenever an issue, a fujhtirig one,
we mean, is made between her and the
Radicals. When the worst comes to the
worst, he will be with the Radical North,
ahd the faults he i3 seeking to find with the
South at present, are but preparatives of his,
antecedent to the leap he will most assuredly
take.
We do not say, tfitb affected depreciation
of him, let him go. On the contrary, the
Sotlth by losing him in any critical moment,
Would confessedly loose an immense deal-
The Way, howctfct, he is now acting, leads
any one who has kept up with him, to he
on the sharp look-oUt—leads a prudent
Southern man, in tho drafting of his pro
gramme, so to arrange it as not to he' the
least surprised at finding Prentice, in a crit
ical emergency, much nearer the South’s
worst enemy than her best Iriend. Expe
riential docct.
A High Rid for Tiiad. Stevens. —
The Southern Watchman says that Thad
Stevens, not thirty days since, told one ol
the*e people that he (Thad) and his friends
were in lavor of paying the Ro-ealfed, M ley
alists”o‘ the South for their slaves, and
that it was to be done by confiscating the
property of the “ leading rebels ” He de
dared further that the rea-on this had not
been done hitherto, was because he and his
associates knew that the President would
never approve it, and that they thought it
best to take no steps in the matter until
perfectly assured it could be consummated
without the slightest danger of interference
from any quarter whatever. In the mean
time, however, everything must be done to
break down the President at the South, and
build up a Radical party. In other words,
stated plainly, the proposition was this:
Organize a Radical party at the South, and
help us bold possession of the government,
and wc will pay you for your slaves
“Ths Pse la Mightier (Kan the Sward.”
GRIFFIV, GEORGIA, TIIIMIt HORMXG, AIGI'ST ID, 1866.
Harrison Berry, a freedman, now
of Covingtoti, this State, and formerly of
Griffin, has written and published an Ad
dress ot some dozen pages, to the colored
people of the country—urging upon them
the importance of their being “ colonized in
some portion of the United States.” It is a
very sensible, and well-w. ittefl document!
and worthy the attention, not only of those
to whom it is addressed, but also of those
who have the misfortune (talking from a
Radical stand-point) to belong to the I’auca
sian race. Frecdmen would do well to read
it. The price advertised on its title page,
is 25 cents.
The Old Cloven Foot Will Stick
Out —The Macon T.lrgraph, of the Bth
instant, having occasion to refer to Judge
liichard H. Clarke, of this State, thus lets
the old serpent, /xirty, slyly slip out its
forked tongue. It says ;
“ Though a Democrat of the ‘straightest
sect,’ he (Judge Clarke) is a patriot, and
sees the danger of a collision between the
interests of his party and the welfare of his
country.”
Such flings as these can do no good, but
to rip-open those old unfortunate divisions
between one Southerner and another, which,
it was fondly hoped, had been healed for
ever. In this connection, however, while
repudiating even an allusion to old party
issues, let it be distinctly understood tha 1
no true Democrat, —of the States Rights
School, we mean—she nks from any com
parison of his party, With any other, on the
■ score of patriotism, persistent belief in the
right ol Secession, good fighting to sustain
the same, or candid acknowledgement of dc
' feat; but of no conviction that the South was
; wrong, or that might ever made right.
Beating a Dog at iiis own Game.—
A man by the name of Sol. Nettles, sucked,

State, seventy-three raw eggs, and, though
not a large man, he still did not have his
fill, saying “ he would like a few more.”
For the above facts wc arc indebted to the

Raw Meat and Spirits to Cure Con

Louis Napoleon is building a $5 000,-

extent and grandeur the Collisetlin at Rome.
It .ill cast about $5,000,000, and will be
constructed entirely of stone, brick, and
metal. Nothing combustible will enter into
its composition. It will cover seven and a
half acres, and be two hundred feet in exter
na! bight. The auditorium, however, is cal
culated to seat only about three thousand
persons Every box will have its separate
saloon attached fitted up like drawing roams,
and a carriage way will be constructed to
the second story from the street. The most
successful and celebrated artists of France—
painters, scnlptors, and architects—will be
employed in its ornamentation and erection
It will be entirely unapproachable in finish
and richness by any structure now existing.
The llon. C. C. Clay. —The report of
the Judiciary Committee says that Mr.
Clay’s statement that he was not in Canada,
at the time of Lincoln’s assassination “is
shown to be a falsehood.” The Augusta
Constitutionalist says Mr. Stanton’s perjured
mercenaries might swear till they were as
black in the face as they are in the heart,
but hundreds of honest citizen.-’- of Augusta
can testify to Mr. Clay’s sojourn in our
midst at the time specified by the Judiciary
Committee. All the testimony is about
equally valuable, and this infamous subor
nation of witnesses to injure noble men, is
a disgrace to the Yankees arid their so called
i ivili/. i';ou

—and the statement seems not to have been
improvised for sensational purposes—that

lie through his quondam connection with
the“ Baptist Banner” and Augusta “ Trans
script,” has become associated with Dr. L.
F. VV. Andrews, in the publishing and edit

SUMMARY.
Gov. Wells has issued an adJress to loyal
Louisianians, speaking iu scathing terms ot
thi. cx-Confederates, approvi g the Conven
tion of 1864, placing the whole responsibility
ot the late riot upon the Mayur and police,
endorsing negro suffrage, and embracing the
Radical cause.
A Lexi igton letter in the Richmond
Ttmet says that a New Y’ork publisher,
who.-e name is withheld, offered to endow
Washington College with the sum of'Blo,ooo
annually, it Gen. Lee would contribute one
article a week to his paper. The proposition
was declined.
The official vote for the constitutional
amendment to the Constitution of West Vir
giuia, distranchisiug persons engaged in the
late rebellion, was counted last week, and
the amendment was declared adopted by
6,922 majority.
Gen. John W. Rabun, of Savannah, died
in that city on Tuesday, 7th instant. He
was an old and respected cotton merchant.
Simon Cameron, Pennsylvania, has taken
ground against the President, whom he pro
nounces, without reserve, “ a bad mao, faith
less to his promises, and an enemy to his
country.”
Brick Pomeroy has adopted a political
platform, and spreads it out in tho La Crosse
Democrat. It is brief and pithy;
“Equality of States in the Union, cry
another war.
White men to govern white men.
Equal taxatiou—taxation of the United
States bonds, or repudiation.
The Mobile Register says that Gen. Lee
was not whipped, but was “ smothered to
death by a quarter of a million ot Irish and
Dutch.”
The King of Prussia, in a speech at Ber
lin on the sth instant, iu reply to a congrat
ulatory address says:
“ Prussia had drawn the sword, not only
for her own independence, but for the reor
ganization of Germany. The first had been
achieved, and the second might be attained.”
The War department has reorganized the
Military departments as follows: Schofield
eommands the department of the Potomac,
embracing Virginia, and West Virginia,
with headquarters at Richmond; General
Sickles, Department of the South, including
the Caroiinas; Gen. Thomas, Department ol
Tennessee, embracing Tennessee, Kentucky,
Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, with
headquarters at Nashville; Gen. Sheri
dan, Department of the Gulf, embracing
Florida, Louisiana, and Texas; Gen. Ord to
command the Department of Arkansas, in
cluding the Indian Territory.
Forney Wants Gen. Wise Tried
Alluding to General Wise’s speech at Nor
folk, the Washington Chronicle Bays:
“We call the attention of Judge Under
wood to the treasonable utterance of Wise,
and it may be hoped that he will be indicte t
and tried along with Davis. * The impudent
traitor should not be permitted to strut
about unwhipped of justice. If he were con
victed of treason, and under sentence of
death for his crime, we will venture the pre
diction that his pride would be humbled,
uud that he would sue for pardon on his
knees, if required to do so. At any rate, he
should be put to the proof.
I®" The Associated Press of this coun
try proposes to spend $125,000 a year for
European news by the Atlantic cable. They
will have two dispatches a day, made up in
London at 3 a. m. and 3 p. m., which will
be the same respectively as 10 p m. and 10
a. m.. New York time, and reach here in
season for morning and evening papers.

IQw Chief Justice Ruffin, ofNorth Caroli
na, has, it seems declared the present consti
tution of his State inoperative. We have
not seeri the whole of hiif decision, and do not
know how the matter came before him.
He says :
“ I consider that this is no constitution,
because your convention was not a legitimate
convention, and had no power to make a
constitution for us, or to alter that which we
had and have. I object to the organization
of your convention, because it was called
without the consent of the people, by the
President of the United States, or under his
orders —an act of clear and despotic usurpa
tion.”
Ameiican Truitts From Abroad.
From the Mobil* Advertiser and Register.
\Vc acknowledged, not long ago, the re
st ipt of a little work entitled * Davis and
Lee,” Written by an English barrister and
republished by Van Evrie, Horton & Co s, of
New Y’ork.
We have before us another work, which
is no less remarkable. This is a pamphlet
of twenty double-columned pages, entitled
*• True Loyalty in a Citixen is Fidelity to his
State, both Ixical and General Governments
being Agencies of the State.” It in a letter
to Andrew Johnson, President of the United
States, from Jacob Brown, acitiaen of Penn
sylvania, dated London, May 1866.
Mr. Brown is evidently a member of the
Society of Friends. Being opposed, on prin
ciple, to the shedding of blood, and moreover
being an old man, he left the country at the
outbreak of the late war and went abroad.
He now writes to the President, approving his
policy of restoration, and appealing for the
release of Mr. Davis and other political pris
oners, not nit the ground of clemency, but of
right and justice. He contends that no
Confederate, who fought for his State and
committed no othor offence, is punishable by
any law He goes to the root of the matter,
argues from the Constitution and the record
ed testimony of its founders especially those
of them who were Northern men—and es
tablishes the truth of the State-Rights thco
ry by irrefutable proofs.
It is refreshing, in these days, to read so
out-poken nn argument from a Northern
source, aud issuing from a foreign press.
It accrna, indeed, as if the truths, which were
so long cherished by the Southern States ,and
so little understood abroad,
had fled affrighted from these oppressed and
afflicted Shores and taken refuge in tho old
world, where freedom of thought and of speech
is still tolerated. We have been more than
once surprised at the clearness of perception
of English and a few Northern writers with
regard to subjects cm which the opinions of
many Southern men appear to have been
unsettled—shaken, as it were, by the shock
of military Oonqucst.
The principles which Mr. Brown maintains
affe these :
1. That the Stales, as sovereign tie*, cre
ated the Federal Govenment.
2. That the said Government might usurp
poPct in derogation of State Rights.
8. That all usurpations were to bo regard
ed as nullities, and not obeyed.
4. That the Federal Government had no
power to coerce States.
5 That the States had the right of self
defence against the Federal Government,
even forcible resistance and withdrawal from
the Union.
And hence,
0. That a citizen, acting under the author
ity of a State, in her defence, cannot be guilty
of treason.
These propositions he established by tho
Constitution, by history, and by tho recorded
opinions of Hamilton, Ames, the Adamses,
Sherman, Ellsworth, Franklin, Marshall,
Madison, and others of the “ Fathers.”
Having established these principles by a
chain of argument, which iij singularly terse,
lorcible and conclusive, the author proceeds
still further and declares that, in the United
States, there exists, constitutional')/,
No political rights but State Rights ;
No sovereignty but State sovereignty;
No citizens but State citizens ;
No allegiance but State allegiance ;
And no treason, except treason, directly or
indirectly, against the State authority.
Os oour.se, such Bent.merfte as theso ar ft
obselete here. They ar6 prohibited, sup
pressed, outlawed, by the irresistible argu
ment of the sword and the bayonet. YVe
do not presume to assert them ; we are
merely quoting from Mr. Jacob Brown.
We are quite satisfied that they itcre true
once upon a time—before the war—but to
people in our condition, it makes little prac
tical difference, what is tru*, and what is
false, in theory
We conclude with one quotation from Mr.
Brown’s pamphlet:
“ The life ot Jefferson Davis, then, must
be held as consecrated. The world will cry
‘ hold !’ if we attempt his harm. And even
essaying to convict him violates the princi
ple. li involves the consciousness of the as
sassin ! It exhibits the malice prepense,
which makes homicide murder ! The black
guardism ol using, from the armory of mal
ice and spite, such weapons of abuse as
‘pirates,’ ‘insurgents’ ‘rebels,’ ‘revolt,’ ‘in
surrection,’ ‘rebellion,’ Ac., arises only from
puerility of mind, or weakness of cause.”
A most brutal and shocking murder
was perpetrated in Webster county, Missou
ri, on the 2Hth nit. A preacher was driven
from his church, and shot dead while on tho
way to his home ! The radicals of that State
undertake to prevent any minister trom
preaching unless he will take an oath which
they have prescribed. Rev. Samuel B
lleadlee, of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, had an appointment to preach and
organize a church at Pieasent View. A
band of armed men arrived at the church
before the minister came, and when be ar
rived they forbade his preaching' He ex
postulated with them, without avail, and then,
with his congregation, left the chnrcli, in
tending to go with them to his own place
(but a short distance off) and there preach.
At the distance of about half a mile from the
church, some of the armed ruffians galloped
up, and shot Mr. Headlee three times 1 He
died about ten o’clock that night, praying for
his murderers !
I&- Mr Brake, of Fitts burg, Fa., killed
his friend Hcltigan by shooting him through
the head. He was playftrily pointing a gun
at hi:n when it accidentally discharged.
The sheriff should be permitted to play Silly
put a rope around his neck and accidentally
push him off a platform.
The Jackson, (Miss.) Standard says that
John Henderson, Jr., one of the Radios!
ring-leaders who incited the recent mob in
New Orleans, and who was killed, was a son
of a former United States Senator from Mis
siseippi, and was for some time a maniac of
