OUR CONFEDERATE D£AD
One of 1 ha best evidence that a peo¬
ple can give of their prosparty and
civilizetion in the care they take of
the last resting places of their dead
The soutn, places devoted exclusively
to the graves ot Confederate soldiers
are concerned, does not appeal' iu a
creditable light.
Every year our people, without
reference to race or political opinion,
meet in every part ot the South on
Memorirl day, to do honor to the
memory of toosa who they believe laid
down thir lives for a cherished
principle. It is a beautiful an 1 im¬
pressive custom, and one which -honld
never be allowed to fall into disuse.
He is a d isiard indeed iu the South
who would not revere the deeds of
our horoes, ahh -ugh the cause for
which they fought was lost. There

After the war the noble women 0 t
our land formed memorial assoeia
tions, raised money, bought suitable
gro«nd< in various parts of the South
and gathered the bones of the C ui
federate ‘lead imo nog; cemeteries,
t He grave:, were iasle.fi ili, arranged,
ApPHipriaiely marked, and for a few
(c:iI>i finally kept. This good work

<d ^ li5u ^°' v J fl ‘ ars * ,ave !10t keen
sufficient to keep these cemeteries
in draper condition, and manv oi
them khakysad indications of ueglec!.
^ here are many magnificent nationa’
cemeteries in the South, where
graves ot the Federal dead are adorns
ed and protected by appropiations
made by 0 mgreas. It is a noble duty
to k-ep uy these appropriations, and
no .v that the pafesions of the war are
fast dying out, and there is beginning
to da wn an ora of fra'erhity and good
t**, noth mg uould *r— be *• more proper,
, And
inore S ' ace ’■ > we may even sav
more just, than thkt the government
should rt least assist in preserving
* ^ e ' ast resting place of the Con
Indurate dead. It those who survive
an .restored to all the right and
drivileges of ohicenship, and have
to share all tht» burdens of govern
nient, on equal ter.ue with the North
in which seem to be cruel and vicuo
tious, to k-ep alive the animosities
engendered by the war only
the dead, whose devo'ing to tfieir' i
cause and heroic courage gained tori
them the admiration of die world,
and who, if they we e a
thoned for the wo ng with their
lives,
We have faith enough in ihe Aiuericau
people* to believe that the day is not
very far distant when the
will give its paternal care to the graves
of ail the dead soldiers in the land
without reference to the questio-i of
wherher they were the blue or die gray.
We are to be one people for ali time,
and the union can be made perpetual,
as Well in the hearts of its citizens
in a political sense, by forever blotting
out the last v stiges of seebona! hostility
and revenge.
Now is the proper time for the press
and people to beg : n to make an appeal
to Congress in this behalf. It is -not a
party question; it is one that, is addressed
to the better feelings of every true man
and woman North and South, and we
call on the Woman of the laud to petition
Congress to take subject finder consid¬
eration at its appoaching sesion. We
believe their request will n >t bs in vine
Even if the appropriation should be
comparatively small at first, ami private
dinations will snpplement them, our
Confederate cemeteries can be protected
from further destitution, and kept in
such condition the work of further
improvements and adornment can at
any time be easily completed.
We hope soon to have the pleasure of
notsng an active interest ail over the
South in this question, Even if it
should prove for a time unsuccessful,
the attention of the people will be at
tacted to the condition of the Confederate
cemeteries, and they will be in the future
better taken care of by means of private
contributions.In many places the ladies
st’ll keep up the old Confederate me¬
morial associations, but their altogether
insufficient to carry out the work re¬
quired, but if Congress will not take ths
matter in hand, the people of the South,
impelled by every sentiment of honor
and love for tde dead, must raise the
amount of money that will be required
and do the work through committees
appointed in the different States.
The press of the Couthern Slates as
wed as of the North ought to place this
subject in its fight before the people of
the Union, and when rightly considered
there can be ns doubt of a gratifying
result.
WHAT A NEWSPAPER CAN DO
A school ta iclier who has been ens
gaged for a longtime in his profes¬
sion and witnessed the influence of
a newspaper upon ths minds ot a
family ot children writes as follows:
“T have found it. to be a universal
fact, without exception, that those
scholars of both sexes aud all ages
who have access to newspapers at
home, when compared by those who
do not are—
1. Better readers, excellent in pro¬
nunciation and consequently, read
more understandingly.
2. They are better spellers and de¬
fine words with ease and accuracy.
3 . They obtain practical kaowK
edge of geography in almost naif the
time it requires of others, as the
newspapers m id ■ hem acquainted

constantly analyze its construction

5 . T!t -y write better compositions,

6. Those young men who have for
reirs been readers of newspapers are

variety of sChj-ctk, and expressing
views with great he fluency,
