Not with pen, not upon the canvas, not l>v hut or palace, not t.y busy marts on shore or spreading sails on sea was its history written. No Tyre told where the argosies of com merce had discharged their wealth.’ No lofty monument then showed the resting places of sacred bodies. “When the fuel of a world lay stored, these ferns silently read the startling history of a period, when its Uden had a dweller, and its lieasLs and fowls a ruler alter God’s own image.’’ Sinee that time man lias kept the records with the pen. lint it all events had been kept from history’s pages, the people of the South still would have had their sacred memories and eaeli pulsation of their hearts would have beat in honor of their gallant dead. Other characters have aris en, flourish, d and fallen—other he roes have shaken the world with the tumult of their triumph, and dazzled the imaginations of men with the brilliancy of their achieve ments—other patriots have sever ed the chains and dispelled the Gothic darkness of slavery, entered tiie temple of fume and recorded the freedom of a nation, but none have yet shown more fortitude and true gallantry than did thu Con federate soldiers. Let us turn for a moment und gaze upon the scene. For four long years this little band of gallant men were hurled against the forces of three-fourths of Amer ica, and on a hundred battle fields crowned themselves with glory. But when they were almost starved and their ports were blockaded by an unfriendly world, they were farced to yield, and to-day the flag on which our soldiers delighted to °Wi artist, hq exhibits m one sui gaze, no longer kisses with its silk- S 1 ?™ en folds the gonttif breezes of our Southern clime.

Their silent tents are spread, Let glory guard with solemn round Tne bivouac of Ui« dead." Bravely did the Confederate sol diers jjear aloft the banner of our country on a hundred battleiields, and wherever danger was present, they wore ever ready to rally; On every buttle field of Virginia, ‘how much of tiie best blood ofourcoun- try has been poured out as an evi- nished the memory of oar honored dead. In doing this woman acts the part of an angel, dud the flowers which she scatters in memory of the fallen will teach the youths of our country the great fessons of patriotism, and will transmit to fu ture prosperity the memory of those whom, we loved and lost. It is true that some Northern peoplo in sist that wc talk too much about the skill of Southern generals and the valor of Southern soldiers. We can not believe this feeling prevails with those gallant men who com posed tiie Union army. They know the valor of Southern soldiers, and like brave and chivalrous men, they are willing to extend’the inmost generosity to theif' prostrate ri vals. This we belive to be the true spirit of chivalry, mid,it .should not be expected that we, as a people, should give up every feeling that enobles and dignities the human heart. We are not required by any speoies of loyalty to surrender our holy affections apd .suered memo ries, apd as wc sit. bt sorrow beside onr lonely hearthstones, we must and will have Nature’s privilege of mouritlng (or our noble dead.

I didn!t like it. and so left the theatre be fore tiie curtain full upon the last act. “Well, what did you see?” “I saw enough to convince me that the political light in Georgia is. fast • oiarrowing ..'down to RftlUV bomsm on tlio one hand, and negrbism on the other hand. (7f these two evils, I regard bourbon; ism the lesser. The truth is, that the republicans are fooling tho in dependent democrats und inflam ing the negroes against tlio whites —and all for a wicked nnd utterly selfish purpose. The republicans known as the syndicate arc using the independent democrats as u lover to Hit themselves and their friends into federal offices in Geor gia. The republicans are inflaming the negroes by appointing many of their mini tier to federal office. All this means that tiie federal patron age in Georgia is to be Used Two years lienee to give Arthur a Gcflr- giu delegation to help him to an other term." “But how?” “Why, with tho aid of the so- called liberals.
