M iss Corecn Cochran, a Mi-s < f only 12

the McNulty Institute, of this oity :
“Hero Wort>lii|*.“ •
An old, but grand and evet trilling
theme is this. It is like the bosom of
space, Which baa forages spread to the
creation of worlds on worlds, and can
yet welcome myriads more. It is the
master instinot of our being, and wheth
er wo.roam through flowery fields of lit
erature, or turn to iho less frequented
heights of History, this spirit of idola
try rears its Temple, and enthroues its
god-
Unseal the musty towns of the by
gone pa*t, and look for a moment to
Greece, lovely, but lost, devoted Greeco.
Hushed are the choral strains of con
quering hymns, and “lonely the realm
of ruins and of chains.’' We turn from
her fall as with a last look upon a star
that sets to rise, no more ; but spell
bound is the sqjil, as it drinks in the
grand old harmonics of the hero- poet,
the immortal Homer, as “with sightless
eyes be rhapsodizes to ths many sound
ing sea.”
Tbo names af Leonidas and his in
vioeihle band cf three hundred Spar
fers at the pass of Thermopylae, will
be forgotteu, toil'till the last Dote of
time shall be lost in the crash of mat
ter aud the wreck of worlds.
The heroic spirit of Socrates was em
balmed for all ages, when he pressed to
bis lips, the cup that held the fatal
hemlock, quaff, and its last bitter drops,
and freed his just soul from bondage.
What grand, what gloomy memories,
cluster around the ivy crowned pillars,
and crumbling walls of ancient Rome?
The kingly diadem, and imperial peo
ple are but phantoms of buried great
ness j but the footprints of glory’s de
parting steps still linger there, around
the proud mausoleums of (Jaesar and
his daring cohorts.
Carthage, could ask no richer legacy
of Fame, then the name of her. own
Hannibal. Sue nestled the young eag
let, and plumed the piuions of his daunt
less spirit, while he was yet nursing

hallowed^JiaucccLburn, the ugh l ut an
unmarked plain, is girdled by the un
dying memories cf patriftism anJ cour

lace bled, and wclcemcd a gory bed or
victory.
Mcrgus'en field has shed a halo over
the name of Swi zorlaud. For it was
there, the Swiss met and baffled the
proud Austrian foe, and foremost in the
shock was the brave William Tell, who
deemed a life in chains, less alluring
than a triumphant death for his native
land. ,
Look but for a moment to the lonely
exile upon the barren isle of St. Hele
na. There behold the lest convulsive
struggles of a mind “as peaceful and ir
resistible as the roar of Mars the homi
cidal god.’’ The tragedy of Waterloo
can never bedim the lustre of the geni
us that kindled the fife of martial glo
ry in the bosoms of thousands, whose
dying shout was ever, “ Vice la France,
Vice TEmpereur'*. Nor ccn time es- .
face fiom the tablets of mind the memo- j
rabic words to the army when in Egypt j
“Lunchmen, remember that from the
tops of these pyramids, forty ceuturieg
look down upon you and your aotions.
Juralides, a temple conseorated to the
God of armies, and rendered sacred by
glory and genius, grandeur and misfor
tune. Napoleon sleeps his last sleep,
(but the world e’en now trembles at tbo
j mention of liis namo.) Brittain’s proud
est poet was the laureate of his exile,
and generations yet to be, will pour in
rapture over tho strains that are fright
ened with the music ofhis name.
But, Ameriea, land of heroes, *’tis of
thee we would sing.” Oiher lands
have their satelites, but thou hast thy
bright morning star, the immortal
Washington. In lispiDg accents the in- j
faot is taught to breathe his name, and
with a worship keep as the Hindoos for
bis pagan god, does the sire bow to the
hero of the first revolution.
From tho darkened mitts of that rev
olution, another star arose. Not with
the pale ripoling beams of some distant
light, but with all the splendors of a
glorious sunburst, did the transcendent
genius of Patrick Henry flash athwart
the firmameut of the youDg Republic.
Like the fallod palace es the ancient
genei he arose in an hour, and turned
in colossal grandeur above the rulers of
! Empires or the framers of Constitutions.
Ii was no “climbiDg from cliff to cliff
tho rugged steps of Fame’s high mount,’
but a scaling of Mount Blanche at a
bound, from whoso dizzy heights Le
thundered forth in tempest tones : ‘Givo
me liberty or give me death.” From
his gigantic mind there poured fourth a
current of thought deep and volumin
ous as tjja Ganges in flood, aud with a
heart tired with patriotism and touohed
with the light of Ilteven, he rose and
rodo upon tbo topmost billow of his
age. The neble the gifted Patrick
Henry is no more, but ever down in
the corridors of time will be heard the
singing echoes of bis never dying fame.
Hews of every claso illuminate the pa
ges of our country’s history, and gems
of thought and deeds of honor, bright
as diamond (jpyps.flll the w dtet of this
Western world. The names of the ear
ly patriots'and statesmen are household
words, and with the tribute ofgroatful
hearts to their memory, we descend to
our own time 3 , and pause over the grand,
the suhlimp developments of the second
revolution.
In what age, in what other land was
there over a Ribert E. Lee ? In vain
we ask. In vain we look. Echoes
come flying hack from the hour, the
morning sang together over the cradled
slumbers of tbo new born world and an
swer—“where? His deeds speak for
themselves. What pen can delineate
the powers and virtues of that sdul. so
richly endowed of heaven? His mind
is a repository pearls, and
his strong arm, proved his country’s
bulwark, in the hour that tried men’s
souls. The laurel chaplet that encir
cles his brow, will grow green and yet
brighter, and hit loved name be held
sacr< and as long as there beats one South
ern heart true to the lost cause.
Host after host of honored heroes,
move before the mind’s eye like a bright
phantasmagoria, recalling deeds of dar
ing and renown.
Hut—llatk! whence that note fall—
ing upon the ear like the sound of the
midnight five bell ! The wail first leaps
from the soldiers’ hearts upon th 6 bat
tle fie.d, and ‘hroughout a
land struggling for freedom. Alas!
Stonewall Jackson is no more. The
idol of the Sou'll has fallen and millions
are in tears. The gory plains of Chan

the ba'l iwed life drops that fell from
tho heart of the worshiped, the immor

Let us weep in our darkness but weep not

Not for £bi |n who ascended Fume’s ladder
so high,

Now let there be a pause, that any
true’loyal heart may bow in reveranee
before him who became a martyr that
the Stars and Bars shou'd become the
Credentials of the South, in every
land Bnd on every sea. Not all the
frowning Bastilos of Yankee might, not
the clanking chains of hated despots,
can still the soul’s worship tor the geni

Two 71 on lll*’ Experience in
Military Confinement.
Year notice of mo and my trial by
tho military authorities induces me to
make public a short statement of bitter
cxpqrienco of military arrests.
On the night of the 20th of April
last, a soldier was killed in a negro
house of ill fame in WarrentOn ; this
was during the election. J bad been
engaged all that, day at the storo of H.
Martin ;at9 o’dook I went to my room
where I usually slept, and at about 11
or 12 o’olook, that night a soldier oame
to the door, where myself and two oth
er citizous were slerpine, and demand
ed entrance; the door was opened and
the first eilution was “one of you move
arid I will blow your G—dd—d brains
out;” a musket was presented pod
cocked at our heads. I was ordered,ta
get up and dries I demanded the
the causg, and-the rq{dy “Yuij pill
find at the court, house.’’ I was con
ducted to thy court house qqd
uuder a stroig guard hi a room Skill
no information,of the causqof wy a 1 real.
Horn after the body <jf the dvOtgj>til sol
dier was brought in and laid by my
side. This and conversation beard in
duced me to suspect tho cause of my ar
rest. Next morning a coroner’s jury
ivas summoned, as I was informed. I
was kept in ' confinement during the
whole examination in another room, and
oat allowed to see fiiends or counsel
except in the presence of an officea.—
Two lying negroes of bad character, were
the witnesses against me, and no coun-
sel allowed to he present tomro*s-<xurs
ine them. Usder what'influences thrse
witnesses were induced to swear away
the life of an innocent man I have nos
been abb to learn,
On the2sth following, I was carried
hy railrovd to Milledgevilleunder guard
and theD put. in a low damp room in
the baseniout of the old MeCumh’s Ho
tel, and then by the order of Captain
Knapp, adjutant commanding the post,
manacles were put upon my legs. In
the room were placed four or five sol
diers uuder arrest; they attacked me,
kicked me, abused and blooded me, un
til I was ie cued hy the sea-gcant of
the guard. I was informed that appli
cation was made to Go \ M ade for a
transfer to the civil auth iri'ies, promis
ing to let me bo sent .to piison or to bo
released on bail, and also to apply to
ReeNe to call a special term of
tho dour: for my trial, which was refus
ed. I learned that after the refusal a
day was set for my trial in
ouf c nee to the of’ my GuuVSwi. y
ordered iu irons to Atlanta for trial.”"* 0
On the 15th of May, two days after
notice to my counsel, I was mircLel on
foot, with shackles or, from tie now
barracks to the city about a mile or
more distant, to the court. There I
was arraigned in irons, and plead not
guilty. Justice to humane officer, M j
Brayton, commander of the barracks,
compels me to ray that ho . caused my
irons to be removed, and they were nev
er put on me any more. The room
I was confined in was a small, Barrow
cell, wilh but one small opening; the
heat and stench of a sink within a few
feet of my door made the confinement
almost intolerable. I was, howCvr, al
lowed to consult my counsel here, aud
receive provisions from my friends at
home.
Fur twenfv days after the tiial be
gun I was confined there being march
ed by my guard every day, to the court
fur trial. The court consisted of Gen
Saxton, Col Swintrey, Col- SaltiVan,
Major Brayton, 90 and .Major Maley—of
them 1 have not one » or and of complaint j
to make; they gave me time for trial,
and after a fair trial found me not guil
ty. in the mean time the negro wit
nesses against me were, from fits: to
last, in military custody, liable to be
tampered with and induced to swear
against mo. What I suffered,is only
known to myself and-God.
Ail this arrest, without affidavit or
warrent, and suffering and- trial ended
in acquittal, showing that this loss of
liberty was not only w ithout authority
of jaw, but wrong in fact, I will add
that this arrest and imprisonment wu's
made with a free knowledge of the
facts, and which was proven on the
trial, and I was about 30Q yards lrom
the place of killing when jt look place,
in bed and nrleep, and that it was not
possible for me to have been (hero. At
one time during my confinement in
Wavrenton I was guarded by a citizen
of the town, who was my etnrny, and
who pressed a negro man with a gun
into the service, to did him in prevent
( ing my es -ape 1 This task was no
doubt a pleasant one to the whi'eman
j but an unpleasant one to the poor ne
• gro, who could not refuse. Jhcse slu'c
■ liients are all true, and w-ill not be de
nied ; if they are, they can be estab
lished to the satisfaction of every one
who has a feeling fur the oppressed.
