SOUTHERN HEROES. Continued from Fourth Page, ’twinkle »f a single star, roll their portentious thunderings, “and nature writhing in pain through ail her works, gives signs of woe.” The fruits of years of industry are swept away in an hour; the landmarks of ages are oblitera ted without a vestige; the sturdiest oak that has struck deep its roots in the bosom of the earth is the plaything of the maddened winds; the rock that marks the formation of whole geological periods are rent, and deep gsrges in the mountain side like ugly scars in the face of the earth tell of the force and fury of the storm. Such was that period to uor social, do mestic and political institutions. Law no long er held its benign sway, but gave place to the of petty diet ators enforced by the bay onet. What little of property remained was held by no tenure but the capricious will of the plunderer; liberty and life were at the mercy of the conqueror, the sancity of home was invaded; vice triumphed over virtue; ignorance ruled in lordly and haughty ■ dominion over the intelligence; the weak r.ere qppressed; the unoffending insulted; the fallen ■warred on; truth was silenced; falsehood nn blushing and brazen, stalked abroad unchal lenged; anxiety filled every heart; apprehen sion clouded every prospect; despair shadow ed hearthstones; society was disorganized; Leg islatures dispersed; Judges torn from their seats by the strong arm of military power; States subverted; arrests made, trials and sentences without evidence; madness lust, .hate and crime of every hue, defiantly wicked and diabolical ruled the hour, until the very air was rent with the cry, and heaven's deep con . cave echoed the wall: “Alas! Our country sinks beneath the yoke; >it weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash is added to her wounds." All this Georgia and her sister States of the • South suffergd at the hands of her enemies, but more-cruel than wrongs done by hostile hands were ths wounds inflicted by some of their own children. They basely bartered themselves for ■ the spoils of office. They aligned themselves with the enemies of the people and their liber ties until the battle was fought, and then with Satanic effrontery, insulted the presence of the virtuous and the brave by coming among them, and forever fixed upon their own ignoble brows the stigma of a double treachery, by proclaim ing i hat they had joined our ene- mies to betray them. They were enemies -to the mother who had nur tured them. “Thoy bowed the knee and spit on her. They cried -‘Hail!’ and smote her on the cheek; they put a sceptre into ner hand, but it was a fragile reed; they crowned her, but it was with thorns; they covered with purple the wounds which their own hands had inflicted on her, and inscribed magnificent titles over the ■ cross on which they had fixed her to perish in ignominy and pain." They had quarrelled .with •-and weakened the Confederacy out of pretended love for the habeas corpus, and now they sus tained (..government that trampled upon every - form of law and every principle of liberty. ■ They had been foremost in leading the people into war, and now they turned upon them to punish them for treason. Even some who were still loyal at heart, appalled by the danger, that surrounded, overwhelmed by the powers that threatened us were timid in spirit, and silent witnesses of their country’s ruin. Others there were, many others, as loyal, brave, noble, heroic spirits as ever enlisted in free- ■ dom’s cause. They could suffer defeat in hon -arable war, but would not without resistance, though fallen, submit to insult and oppression. Their fortunes were destroyed, their fields de solated,’their homes laid in ashes, their hopes ■ blighted, but they would not degrade their manhood. To their invincible spirit and heroic resislance we are indebted for the /peace, prosperity, and good government we ■enjoy to-day. Long live their names and deeds. Let our poets sing them in undying song; let ous historians register them in impetishable records; let our teachers teach them in our schools ; let our mothers recount them in our homes; let the painter transfer their vsry forms and features to the canvas to adorn our .public halls ; let the deft hand of the sculptor -chisel them out of the granite and marble to beautify our thoroughfares ; let every true heart and memory, born and to be born, embalm •them forever. Among all'the true sons of Georgia and of the South in that day, one form stands conspici nous. No fear blanched his cheek, no danger daunted his courageous soul. His very pres ence imparted courage, his very eye flashed en thusiasm. Unawed by pawer, unbribed by honor he stood in the midst of the perils that environed him brave as Paul before the Sanhe drim, ready for bonds or death, true as the men at Runnymede, and as eloquent as Henry kind ling the fires of the Revolution. As we look ibaok upon that struggle one fignre above all others fixes our admiring gaze. His crested helmet waves high where the battle is fiercest, -the pure rays of the sun reflected from his glit tering shield are not purer than the fires that burn in the breast it covers. His clarion voice rang out louder than the din of battle, like the bugle blast of a Highland Chief resounding over hill and mountain and glen, summoning his -clans to the defense of home and liberty, and thrilled every heart and nerved every arm. It was the form and voice of Hill. Not only is he entitled to the honor we confer ■upon him by the events of this day, and higher honor, if higher there could be, as a Georgian, but as a son of the South. The great West boasts that it gave Lincoln to the country and ..and to the world. New England exults with pe culiar pride in the name and history of Webster, .and one of her most distinguished sons, upon the recent occasion of the completion of the Washington monument, in anoration worthy of his subject, did not hesitate to. say: “1 am my self a New Englander by birth. A son of Massachusetts, bound by the strongest ties of affection and of blood to honor and venerate the earlier and the later worthies of the old Pnritan Commonwealth, jealous of their fair fame, and ever ready to assert and vindi cate their just renown.” Why should not we ■cherish the same honorable sentiment, and point with pride to the names with which we have adorned our country’s history? What is jthere in our past of which we need be ashamed? What is there in which we ought not to glory? They tell us to let the dead past be buried. •Well, he it so. We are willing to forget; we this day proclam and and bind it by the high -est sanction —the sacred obligation of Southern honor—that we have forgotten all of the past that should not be cherished. We stand in the way of no true pro- gress. We freely pledge our hearts and hands to everything that will promote the pros perity and glory of our country. But there is a past that is not dead—that cannot die. It moves upon us, it speaks to us- Every instinct of noble manhood, every impulse of gratitude, ererv obligation of honor demands that we ■cherish it. We are bound to it by ties stronger than the cable that binds the continents, and laid as deep in human nature. We cannot cease to honor it until we lose the sentiment that has moved all ages and countries. We find the expression of that sentiment in every memoii-1 we erect to commemorate those we love in the unpretentious slab of the country church yard, in the painted windows of the ca thedral, in the unpolished head-stene and the •costliest wausolem of our cities of the dead. It dedicated the Reman Pantheon, and has tilled Trafalgar square and Westminster Ab bey with memorials 01 those who for centuries have made the poetry, the literature, the science; the statesmanship, the oratory, the military ■and naval glory—the civilization of England. It has adorned the squares of our own W asn ington citv and filled every rotunda, corridor and niche of the capitol with statues and mon uments and busts until we have assembled a ■congress of the dead to instruct, inspire and guide the congress of the living, while, Higher - than all surrounding objects, towering above the lofty dome of the capitol, stands the obelisk to Washington. Long may it stand, fit but inadequate symbol of that colossal character. Os all the works of man it lifts its head nearest to the bright luminary of nature, so that every rising sun joins all human voices, and with the' first kiss of the morning pro claims him favorite of all the family of men. Mav it and thecharacter it teaches abide with us until the light of that sun is extinguished bv the final darkness that shall mark the end of the davs. , , . , Taught by these high examples, moved by this loftv sentiment of mankind, we this day renew the allegiance of ourselves, and pledge that of our posterity to the memory of onr Southern dead. THE EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA, GA. SATURDAY. MAY 1. 1886 No sen of the South had higher claims upon our gratitude than he whom we this day honor. Against his convictions he followed the South into secession and war. True to her in the days of that war she waged for separate nation ality ; true to her in the darker days that fol lowed that ■ war, when she was de nied admission into the Union, after her res toration he stood in the House of Representa tives and the Senate Chamber the bravest and most eloquent ' of her defenders, re sisting every invasion of her rights and defiantly and triumphantly hurling back every assault upon her honor. Not only as a s- n of Georgia and of the South does be merit the tribute of our highest praise, but as a citizen of the Republic. He was a pro found student of our system ci government, aud his knowledge of that system was not only dis played in his public utterances, but is written m the lives and characters of the young men of Georgia who learned from him at the State University, and who in all the departments of the public service are entering into careers of the highest usefulness and distinction. “Me lius est peters fontes quam sectari rivulos.” Madison and Webster were his teachers. Never did student have better teachers, never teach ers better students. Webster was not more in tense for his love for the Urion as originally es tablished by the founders of the republic. With the underlying principles of that Union he was familiar. To him the American Union was not the territory over which the flag floated and the lows were administered. It was a system of government embracing a general gov ernment of general purposes, and local gov ernment for local purposes, each like the spheres in the heavens, to be confined to its own orbit, and neither could invade the do main as the other without chaos and ruin. In ■ the solution of all problems, in the discussion of all questions, in the shaping of all policies he looked to the constitution. As the fierceness of the storm only intensified the gaze of the mariner on the star that shall lead him out of darkness and danger, so the greater the peril the more earnestly he contended for the princi ples of the constitution. He regarded the American system of government as the wisest ever devised by the wisdom of men, guided by a beneficent Providence which seemed to have chosen them for the highest achievements of the race. He esteemed it not only for his own, but for all people the greatest production of man, the richest gift of heaven except the bible and Christianity. But to him the States were as much a part of that system as the general government. His indissoluble union was com posed of indestructible States. He opposed sectionalism uuder any guise, and from any quarter. As long as it spoke the truth, he hon ored and loved the flag of his country. For so long, wherever it floated, from the dome of the national capital at home, or under foreign skies ; leading the armies of the republic to deeds of highest valor in war, or signalizing the peaceful pursuits of commerce; at all times and everywhere, at home and abroad, on the land and on the sea, in peace or war, its stripes uttered one voice—of good will to its friends and proud defiance to its enemies—while the stars that glittered upon its ample folds told of free and equal States. Thus looking at it he dould exclaim with patriotic fervor; Flag of the Union! Wave on, wave ever! Wave over the great and prosperous North; wave over the young and expanding West; wave over our own South until the Union shall be so firmly planted in the hearts of all the peo ple that no internecine war shall break our peace, no sectionalism shall disturb our har mony! Flag of the free! Wave on until the nations looking upon upon thee shall catch the contagion of freedom! Wave on until the light of knowledge illumines every mind, the fires of liberty burn in every breast, the fetters fall from every limb, the bonds are loosed from ev ery conscience, and every son of earth and an gel of heaven rejoices in the universal emanci pation. There never was a time in his distin guished career when be Would not, have arrested and stricken down any arm lifted against that flag speaking the truth. But he would have it ware over “States not provinces; orer freemen,not slaves,” and there never was a time, when flaunting a 1 ie,bv whomsoever borne, he would not have despised and trampled upon it. This was true American patriotism. Though loyal to Georgia and the South dur ing the period of seara ion, he rejoiced at their restoration to the Union. No mariner tossed through long nights on unchosen and tempestu ous seas ever hailed the day of return to tran quil port more gladly than he billed the day of the restoration of the Stated. N# sen driven by fortunes he could not control frem the pater nal roof, ever left that roof with sadder parting than he left the Union, or returned from the storms without to the shelter of home With wilder transport of joy than he felt when the South was again admitted to “our Father’s house.” Permanent peace and unity in resublic or monarchy cannot be secured by the power of the sword or the authority of legislation. Eng land, with all her power and statesmanship, has tried that for centuries and failed and will con tinue to fail until her people and her rulers learn what her formost statesman has recogniz ed, that the unity of all governments of every form must rest in the respect and confidence of her people. If this principle had been observ ed after the war between the States that dark chapter in our history that must remain to dim the glory of American statesmanship would have been unwritten. Wisely appreciating this principle after the admission of the true repre sentatives of the people in Congress, with voice and pea, he devoted all the powers of his great mind, and all the impulses of his patriotic heart, to re-establishment of that cordial re spect and good feeling between the sections up on which alone our American system, more than all others, depends for permanent union and peace. The great and good do not die F.orteen cen turies ago the head of the great apostle fell be fore the sword of the bloody executioner, but through long ages of oppression his example an imated the persecuted church, and to-day stim ulates its missionary spirit to press on through the rigors of every climate and the darkness of every heathen system, to the universal and final triumphs of that cross for which he died. Four centuries agone the body of John Wickliffe was exhumed and burnt to ashes, and these cast into the water, “but the Avon to the Severn runs, the Severn to the sea,” and the doctrines for which be died cover and bless the world. Half a century ago the living voice of O’Connell was hushed, but that voice to-day stirs the high born passions of every true Irish heart though out the world. The echoes of Prentiss’s elo quent voice still linger in tho valley of the Mis sissippi. Breckenridge’s body lies under the the sod of Kentucky, but he lives amsng her sons an inspiration and a glory. And the day there comes to us, and shall come to those after us, the voice of our dead, solemn with the emphasis of another world more eloquent than that with which be was wont to cbarm us. It says to us: Children of Georgia, love thy mother. Cherish all that is g od and just in her past. Study her highest interests. Discover, project and foster all that will promise her future. Re spect and obey her laws. Guard well her sa cred honor- Give your richast treasures and best efforts to her material, social, intellectual and moral advancement until she shines the brightest jewel in the diadem of the republic. Men of the South, sons of the proud earlier, bound together by common tradition, memo ries and sentiment, sharers of a common glory and common sufferings, never lower your stan da-d of private and of public honor. Keep the church pure, and the State uncorrupted. Be true to vourselves, your country and your God, and fulfill the high destiny that lies before you. Citizens o’ the Republic, love your system of government, stud r and venerate the constitu tion, cherish the Union, opposeall sectionalism, promote the weal and maintain the honor of the Republic. “Who saves his country save him self saves all things, and all things saved do bless him ; who lets hts country die lets all things die, dies himself ignobly, and all things dying curse him.” Illustrious citizen of the State, of the South, of the Republic, thou hast taught us to be brave in danger, to be true without the hope of success, to be patriotic in all things. We honor thee for tha matchless eloquence, for thy dauntless courage, for thy lofty patriotism. For the useful lessons thou hast left us, for the faithful service thou hast done us, we dedicate this statue to thy name and memorv. Telling of thee it shall animate the young with the higbeat and worthiest as pirations for distinction; cheer the aged with hopes for the future, and strengthen all in the perils that may await us. May it stand enduring as the foundations of yonder Capitol, no more firmly laid in the earth than thv just fame in the memories and hearts of this people. But whether, it stand pointing to the glories of the past inspiring us with hopes for the future, ar fall before some unfriendly storm, thou shalt live, for we this day crown thee with higher honor than Forum or Senate can confer. “In this spacious temple of the firmament,” lit up by the splendor of this unclouded Southern sun on this august occasion, dignified by the highest officers of municipality and State, and still more by the presence of the most illustri ous living as well as the spirits of the most il lustrious dead, we come in grand procession— childhood and age, young men and maidens, old men and matrons, from country and village and city, from hovel and cottage and mansion, from shop and mart and office, from every pursuit and rank and station, aud with united hearts and voices, crown thee with the undying admi ration, gratitude and love of thy countrymen. The Unveiling. There is one article in general use whose beauties and superiorities have already been unveiled, and whose usefulness is equalled only by its perfection. We speak of the new No. 8 sewing machine of the Wheeler A Wilsen Company, whose office is No. 71 Whitehall street. It is a recognized beauty and friend in the household of every well regulated family. The number of makes of machines on the market, ot course, are very numerous, but the new No. 8 have so many points of superiority that it at once recommends itself to every lady.

A Southernized Yankee and Confed erate Soldier Tells What He Knows About it in an In teresting Manner. * SaMUXL DUNLAP. “When the war drum throbs no longer And the battle flags «re furled, In the parliament of man. The federation .f the world.” Genial, hearty, honest, whole-souled, Sam Dunlap 1 Why, every man. woman and child, from the “Great Smoky” to the Gulf, and the Tombigbee to Ihe Atlantic, will smile back a recognition to the pleasant countenance we pic ture. Born in C< nneclicutf, while yet a young man, in 1854, he came South, and located in this State, first at Fort Valiev, and removing from there shortly afterward to Americus, where he first developed his capacity for a commercial life. After some years residence here he asso ciated himself in business with I’. H. (Hirer, at Albany, building a large store. At Albany he was unfortunate enough to lose his wife, by a stroke of lightning and shortly after returned to his first love, Americus, where the outbreak of the civil war found him, He enlisted, serving first in the company of his relative, Capt. I. R. Branham, of Co. B, of the MACON VOLVNTKERB, and afterward in the cavalry under Major B. G Lockett. The close of the war found Mr. Dunlap stranded in Macon, but his indomitable energy soon recuperated his fortunes, and the firm of Dunlap & Usher, fancy goods dealer, was well and widely known until they burned out. After this, for a short time, he was in business at Rome, from where be entered into that for which he was intended by nature —a salesman. In this capacity he has been connected con stantly with some of the best and MOST WIDBLY KNOWN of the Eastern manufacturing houses. In 1874 he removed .with his family to Atlanta, and baa been a resident of this city since. The above cut gives a very good likeness of him. He is a stout, well-built man of what is usually termed “comfortable” proportions, tuddy complexion, and a magnetic temperment. Obliging to his iriends and agreeable and courteous to every one. Meeting him on the street during the week the reporter was greeted with a hearty handshake and earnest: “How are you, my lad?” “Pretty well, Sam; how are you?” “Sound as a dollar, my boy; although if 1 had met you ten days ago I could not hare said as much." “Why, how was that—been sick?” “Well, you must know that for the “past tbn ybabb I hare been Buffering with kidney disease, which every now and again would grow bad and gire me serious trouble. About two months ago 1 began to have one of my bad spells, and for the past eight weeks 1 have been suffering some or most of the “tortureb of dantb’b 'inferno.’ “I have tried all the physicians and medicines that I could read or hear of, and their name, as you know, is legion, but until a week since the disease has held undisputed sway. It is not a pleasant thing, my boy, to know that a disease which some of the most noted physicians of the country hare pronounced as the most fatal to humanity, has a mortgage upon your vitals, I tell you. It sort o’ takes the good HUMOR OUT OK A FELLOW.” “And what miraculous dispensation has oper ated in your behalf, Bam 7” queried the re porter. “Nothing miraculous. I just had a glimmer ing of common sense, that’s all. About four years ago I had a severe attack of rheumatism, which completely disabled me tor the time, and which developed into what is commonly called “chronic:” attacking ine when least expected, and laying me up entirely, incapacitating me for any kind of business, and cansing me as much suffering in a day as should be crowded into a life time, After one of my most severe attacks, and when I bad just got able to bob ble around, 1 met J. M. Hunnicut, an old friend, and he said he could make a remedy that WOULD CURB MB, AND bv gracious he did. I took two bottles of his stuff, prepared from roots and herbs, and I have never had a twinge of rheumatism since. The medicine was not prepared for sale at that time but was manufac tured by Mr. Hunnicutt for bis friends. About six months ago it was determined to place it upon the market, and a firm was organized for that purpose. Two weeks ago, in the midst of my sutering, I noted in one of their advertise ments that it was good for kidney troubles also. I knew ft would cure rheumatism, and I bought half a dozen bottles at once and determined to give it a fair show at a kidney disease of long standing. It may seem extravagant, but the first day’s use gave me relief, and before I had completed taking one bottle my disagreeable symptoms had entirely disappeared. I hare used two bottles up to this time anil HAVE NOT FELT A TRACK of my disease for a week. I believe It will cure sie completely, if it has not already done so. That is a pretty strong statement, but I make it honestly and sincerely, and am prepared to verify it in any manner.” “During my travels in the last four or five years I have met with many cases of rheuma tism and others diseases arising from impure blook, among my friends over the South, and I have in every-ease recommended its use. When ever they have been able to procure it the rem edy has done just what I said it would—effected a complete cure. I can instance a half a dozen cases of rheumatic, and blood diseases, some of the most severe kind, and in every instance it has cured them. “Can I publish what you have told me, Sam?” “Publish it? Certainly you can. Cry it from the bouse tops and post it all over the world if you like. It is truth and should not be ashamed of itself.” Johnson & Co , Importers We deal direct with the factories and have no com petition in the Southern States on many classes of goods.
