high oplnlqn o! Mr. John Temple
Graves, editor and oritor. Borne of
his apeecher art worthy of being
handed down to the rising genera
tion. By many lie Is spoken of u>

young inan right before the people
of the Booth; for while the South
acknowledges Itself defeated and la
willing to accept the result. It has
no apologies to offer for Ita action
in the 1st'- war, and will always
