Head at the examination of 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 his boyish oath of vtngcance sgansr his country's ct-mica.

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'*.

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.

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. E. 8. Cody.
