THE GEORGIAN COMES TO GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE "It Is Indsed a desirable thing to be wall de scended, but the glory belongs to our ancestors." —Plutarch. Saturday Evening. The bloody eclipse of a brilliant life, In which one upon whom Fortune had lavished her most splendid gifts became the shuttlecock ot her Irony and went down to dusty death In the midst ot mirth and revelry, has ab sorbed the Intorest of two hemispheres during the week ■ow drawing to a close. We have already Indicated that there are no lessons to be learned from this Iliad of tears which time and frf perience have not taught with tedious reiteration'ever since the melancholy hour , * "When Era had led her lord abray And Cain had killed bis brother.” We can only repeat that this Is true. And yet, at ' an hour when the moral ydiribllltles of.the world are more deeply stirred than they have been for years—at an hour when even tho flippant worldlings pause to meditate upon the heart-ache that la twlu-bom to aelflsh pleasure!, there Is an Inaplratlon to reflect upon at least one aspect of the death-crowned saturnalia. Out of the tangled woof and web of clews one fact seems clearly to appear: That a man, endowed with more than moderate weattb, possessing In superior degree the talent, tho magnetism, the nameless charm by which men cast-a subtle spell over those who come within the circle of their Influence, employed these rich endow ments to accomplish the overthrow of Innocence and honor. For purposes of these 'reflections It matters little whether his Insidious artifice pursued tho object of his former passion beyond the altar and the ring with the Ineradicable canker Implanted In the years by, one who follows the trsglo story a* Us tear leaves unfold can hear. In Imagination, tho h™Yt-broken wall of that earlier bride In the scriptural nllptfory: "The |nj keeper* of the walls took away my veil fr< I ••> The opnlenco of the Orient could / tbrnlah forth no ■} Impressive phrase to express the bitter depths U) ‘ desolation and of shame. The manners and the eus- .. - toms of tho times required that no nnsnllled wife or | daughter In the Hebrew convmonwoalth should go un I veiled. The nicety of honor prescribed that the eye I of the y ranger should not see her face—a custom of the Orient so deeply roOted that It aUll prevails today. 1 And tho keepers of the walls—they were the watch- e 1 men. the guardians, the elvle towers of strength. They • ere the incarnation ot law and order, the refuge of tho weak, the defense ot helpless Innocence. If this pro- ' icctloo was withdrawn, whither could they fly In hours of [*’ danger How hopeless and helpless they were Indeed i<-\ whrmo fare was sacrilegiously revealed to every vulgar ry e ami made the target of every Insulting leer! There was a pathos which the occidental mind can but dimply comprehend In that piercing wall ■ which breaks through thu Song of Bongs: "The keepers of the walla took away my veil from me.” It is not alone In allegory, not alone In far Judea that this walling ery rises above the mirth and laughter of the world. Out of the languorous light and perfume of an inebriating atmosphere where liner sensibilities ore •teepod in rosy dreams and the sentinels of conscience 5 are lulled to sleep with lutee and lotuses—out of this ,,J Adonis garden of a night, oonjnred up by minds that are ' | masterful end mesmerio—there comes with sickening n frequency and clearness the stricken cry: "The keepers \ of the walls have taken away my veil from me!” • ' And thon the fierce light of the garish day—tho faco n that fain would hlda Its beauty from the gloating eye of i« levity or the chilling stare of scorn. Her happier sisters '"pass her—veiled. The daughter, wife and mother—veiled, t > relied, veiled! The very casements of uncoutamtnated jj homes curtained and secure, seem to echo with withering mockery, "veiled, veiled, veiled!"—while In her own Wbltter and blighted heart murmurs the same melancholy W monotone. "The keepers of the walls”—not the beggars h M the gate nor the outlawed thieves on the highway to vttsartchn. but the guardians ot social honor and civic t jjrw, the keepers of the walla—“have taken away my veil end me'" How lonB ,s th ® *** mour “f wealth an eminence to .ssle the .-ye of Justice?

Col. Henry Wntterson Jn now engaged In the philan thropic work of defending Abraham Lincoln trom the charge of Illegitimacy—before northern audiences, of course. Col.

In tho' nb > rice ot tiny other defender, the editor of Tho Georgian,entered the lists of controversy against Honry Watterson upon this proposition. We put upon the witness stitftd -i complete refutation every'toemlnr of the Confcdni.it cabinet living and depd, and every memhor of tho Con- fqflferate commissioners living and dead. Tho contra-' versy lasted two years. At the end of that ttmo Cqloncl Watterson was compelled to.surrender, and.this he did, not to the man who had proven his inaccurate reflections upon the Confederate government,' biit'to J ‘jol»n ll.yltea- gan, of Texas, postmaster general, of the Confederacy, who hnd written a letter' Irtddralng 'tlrepbsttBfn''Which the editor of this paper had assumed. Two or throe years lateriHopklnson tfmltb asserted In New England that "Unde* Tom’s Cabin" was doing damage to the fraternal spirit of the country, and ought to be condemned. Henry WnttcrsAif, speaking again to and for the applause of some Northern gathering, rushed to the defense of Mrs. 8towe’s book, and declared that IV was a faithful picture ot Southern life and the author- a great woman and benefactor. The editor of this paper Joined Issue again with the foolish utterance, and proved Mr. WntlecMon's maudlin error from tbe records and from history; The controversy had no direct result upon the eoWel’s expressed opinion, but the best proof of the strejsith and truth of our contention was found la the fartythat at the close of the controversy Colonel Wat- tersoq'g own state of Kentucky petted an act through Uky-legislature forbidding the presentation ot “Uncle Jma't Cabin” upon any stage or platform In that com monwealth. And so It has come to be well understood that Col. Watterson's history Is always largely colored by the audience and occasion before which be speaks and that his facts are always to be accepted with the proper and prudent amount of salt It Is a very generous and a very popular thing to nrguo bafero a Northern or a Southern audience the question of Lincoln's legitimacy. Wo love and honor ilncoln In the South as much os they do in the North, and at Jealously guard his fame. But the truth of history Is something thnt will come out, and the evidence to support Lincoln's Illegitimacy Is much clearer and strong er than that which goca to prove the regularity of his birth- Of course thu public desire and tendency ls-to believe the better thing. Lincoln's patornlty has been credited to various ct of greator or less repute. There never was a scintilla of fact to support the suggestion which The Macon Telegraph revives that linked him with John C. Cal houn. That was a mere rumor born of the romantic design to link a great man to a great ancestor. It Is of a part with the gossip thst made him the half brother ot Jefferson Davis. Rlchnrd Owsley, of Kentucky, was a nearer and better based suggestion. But the strongest evidence pro or con In this famous case, made Lincoln the son ot a neighbor In Hardin county. Kentucky, Upon this line General James WII son, of the Federal army, who was tbe captor of Macon and of Jefferson Davis In our civil war, and who was later advanced to high command In Cuba under the McKinley administration, told the editor of The Georgian that he had spent an entire winter In southern Indiana and Kentucky In vigorous and exhaustive InveatlgntldR Into this matter, and that Lincoln's Illegitimacy wns as well attested as any fact In history. But what does tt matter In the record of tho great war president? Lincoln was a great, good man—one ot the greatest and broadest and kindest lu the world's roster of great men. lie has passed Into an Immortality upon which the roses of Georgia and Carolina fan ns softly as the roses of Kentucky and Illinois. He Is not the first great man who lias lived under this sad and melancholy shadow of birth. Alexander Hamilton wns an Illegitimate, by the tes timony. of his most ardent biographers. There are wise men and strong men In the editorial sanctums of north ern New ,'ork who will tell you from tho records that Martin Van Bnren was the son of Aaron Burr, and that Burr In turn was the putative father of Samuel J. Tllden.

Once more we muet appeal to our friends and cor respondents to have consideration for tbe crowded state of our columns, and to make their communications brief. It Is Just utterly Impossible tor us to print all ot the opinions which our friends send to v* at the length In which they are presented. The pile of communications upon our desk Is so lsrgs thst they would consume two solid Issues ot this paper at this moment to dispose ot them, and if we published one-tl?trd ot them every day, there would' be little room left for news or for editorial opinion of our own. The communications which we publish today are nearly all condensed and abbreviated In this ofllce by necessity. We have taken tbe liberty of doing this, be cause we cannot possibly publish them In their original length. Once more we would Impress upon our (rtends and correspondents that nobody reads long-winded communi cations. except trom men particularly prominent In the public eye. and even then, there are few who reed com munications that are as much as a column In length. We earnestly counsel our friends that If they would be heard upon any subject to speak briefly. One-fourth of a column Is the best length for a com munication, a half column is the nest best,- three- fourths the next best, and anything that reaches a col The Reunion at Brandy Station. Arrangements are being perfected for the reunion of the Federal and Confederate forces which participated hi the battle of Brandy Station on the anniversary of that bloody event, August 9 next; and considerable Itttereet Is being manifested In the approaching occasion,' Phillips' Legion and Cobb’s Legion, made up of Oeor- gla men, participated In this great battle, and It Is.deaired that as- large an attendance as possible shall be secured. Jeff Davis'Legion was also a participant In the battle, and It Is hoped that the survivors of that command will also be present. Dr. C. F. D'Alvtgney, of this city, has been In corre spondence with Adjutant W. P. Hill, of A. P. Hill Camp No. 2, of Culpeper, Va.. who announces that one of the objects of the reunion will be to Identify and mark the locations of special Interest on the battlefield and thus preserve thetr historical status. The Southern railroad will give special rates for the occasion and accommodations at a low rate will be provided at Culpeper, as well as at Ilrandy Station, which Is now s town of considerable Importance. It Is desired to know ss early as possible Just bow many veterans will attend. Phillips' Legion was composed of Infantry and cav alry, and waa commanded by Colonel William Phllllpt, of Cobb oo’unty. The lieutenant colonel was Seaborn Jones, of Polk county; John B. Wllcoxson, of Coweta county, was the major, and James H. Lawrence, of Floyd county, was the adjutant. The legion consisted of ten companies and were mustered Into service on the 11th of June, 1861.. They were prepared for active service at Camp Mc Donald at Big Shanty. From there they were ordered to Lynrhburg, Va. In January, 1862, tbe legion was sent to the qoast qf South Carolina. While there the legion formed a part of the brigade of General T. F. Drayton. While the legion waa In South Carolina there was a change of Its Hold officers, occasioned by the resignation of Lieutenant Colonel Jones and Major Wllcoxson. Captain W. W. Rich, of Cass (now Bartow) county, was promoted to the position of lieutenant colonel, and was assigned to the command of the cavalry companies of the legion. There were two companies of cavalry added to them, making six, which entltled N them to a lieutenant colonal and a major, forming a battalion of cavalry. Captain William I). C. Puckett, of Cherokee county, was promoted to the posttlqn of major lu September, 1862. In July, 1862. General Drayton received orders to proceed with his •brigade to Virginia, and report to General R. E. Lee for duty. From that time the infantry and cavalry of the legion were separated, and a later order from the secretary of war created them as separate and distinct organisations, so far ss each other was concerned. The cavalry under Major Puckett arrivsd In Shep- herdstown In time to engage In battle of Bharpsburg. The cavalry battalion participated In all tbe fighta In which General Wade Hampton's brigade waa engaged In Virginia. Maryland and Pennsylvania • Rev. W. E. Jones, of this city now, was the chaplain of the battalion. The captains were James II. Nichols, Thomas G. Wilkes. KU C. Hardin. R. L. Y, long. A. F. Hunter and W. K. Thomas. Tbe Cobb let (ton was an organisation similar to Phillips' l<eglon. It was organized In 1.861 by Thomas R. R. Cobb, a distinguished lawyer of Georgia. In the organ isation ot hla legion the Fulton Dragoons bad a place. Several of the survivors of the old company, Fulton Dragoons, are now living in this elty. Major Z. A- Rice, who died here last year, was one ot them. Dr. Charles D’Alvtgney Is now living here, sod Is s prominent and Influential citizen. - Cobb's Leglod was one of the distlnpptlsbed and famous commands of tbe Southern army. It was com posed of some of the best ot our Southern people- The legion betas organized, went to Richmond and . The Home for Old Women. In spottier column of The Georgian appears this afternoon a brief survey of the history of the Home for Old, Women, conducted by’ the Gordon Circle of King's Daughters. , Thlp noble Institution Is now In Its second year, and during that time has cared for twenty-six inmates, fif teen, of whocu are still wards of the Gordon Circle. . Particular attention Is directed to the fact that the period pf one year, for which the house now occupied by the Home was granted rent free by the owner, wlll ezptre on August 1, and It will be necessary before that time .to make other arrangements. The circle has on hand about $1,800 and pledges of $985 more ss a nucleus of a building fund. Tho -women In charge of this noble work are mak ing heroic efforts to raise a sufficient amount of money to warrant them in erecting a permanent and adequate home for old women. Ten per cent of the proceeds of the Nathan bakery, at 75 Peachtree, on tbe opening day next Thursday, will be devoted to this cause. Similar- entertainments are given from time to time to meet the operating expenses of the home and to raise funds for the proposed building. There Is no worthier charity than this Old Woman's Home In all Atlanta and It deserves the cordial support of the people of this community. It Is taking care of the feeble and destitute who have no onb else In the evening of life to care for them, and surely this should appeal to the deepest sympathies and best Impulses of our people. - But one short month remains In whloh to make the iieeesoary arrangements foj the future. Tfie Gordon Cir cle already hat large obligations on Its shoulders In can Ing for the fifteen Inmates of the home, and provision must be made, not only for these but for the larger num ber who are seeking admission. . The Georgian commends the movement to the people ot Atlanta and hopes that It will soon be carried to a successful Issue. Jackson sent Major Fltzhugh' to General*Cobb for a squadron of cavalry to Support a battery on General D. H. Hill's left flank.'. General Cobb ordered squadron B to report to Major Flfxhugh. Squadron B consisted of two cavalry, companies of Cobb's Legion, and the designated squadron waa the Fulton Dragoons. Tbey had to pass through and under heavy shelling from the federal guns and tbelr duty wps to support a battery ot the famous Washington Artillery, which waa In danger of being flanked by federal cavalry. The Squadron B remained there until tbe laat gun was flred, and then, with General Stuart, they followed the retreat ing enemy. Major Fltzhugh, some time after that, remarked to Captain Z. A. Rice, of the Fulton Dragoons:. “Do you know that General Jackson paid your squadron a high compliment at the battle of Cold Harbor? He saw your squadrop.*s you were passing through that storm of Iron hall, and he remarked that your squadron would do to ttnut&i'i - A CHARMING SUGGESTION FOR HOMECOMERS. To the Editor of The Georgian: The great success of the Kentucky home-coming and the honor shown to the Old Kentucky Home's author suggests tbst Georgia can more appropriately celebrate home-coming this fall at the state fair. John Howard Payne,' tho author of Home. Sweet Home, was a Georgian and Is entitled to a monument for this grand old song. Georgia has many distinguished sons dispersed through out the union and It would be very appropriate for our state to have a great home-coming of all tbe sons of Georgia to do honor to tbe memory ot the author ot "Home, Sweet Homo." By all means let us erect a suit able monument to-him In Atlanta and It could be un veiled aome time during the state fair next fall with suit able ceremonies. It would draw an Immense crowd to the fair and do much to promote enterprise and patriot ism. I hope your paper will take this matter up and make a success of It. Very truly yours, JAMES L. FORT. THE GEORGIAN STANDS FOR MORALITY. . To the Editor of The Georgian: The publishers ot The Atlanta Georgian are to be congratulated for tbe Imimi-tant step they have taken for the cause of morality and sobriety In that they refuse to'publish liquor advertisements. This noble example set by Tbe Georgian should be followed by all newspaper men who recognize whisky ■a a great evil and all who profess to be against its sale. Every editor before accepting an advertisement from a liquor dealer should ask himself this question: Is It right to sell liquor? Does the person who accepts the terms of this advertisement receive the value of his money? Could I sell liquor and still have a good con science? Would the meek and lowly Nazarene handle liquor In any way If he ns upon the earth? If deep down In your heart, your answers to tbeso questions are yee. then you ran consistently publish liquor "ads." but If your conscience and reasoning pow ers answer In tbe negative then you cannot do so If you place any value on tbe merits of your paper as an ad* vertlslng medium. If you did not think you would enable the liquor dealer to Increase the sales of the damnable stuff that wrecks more homes, causes more crimes and destroys taore happiness than every other influence put together, you would be acting dishonest, for in that case you would accept bis money and give nothing of value In return. If on the other band you increase tbe sales ot the bar keeper, the blood spilled on account of tbe Increase of sales made possible by tbe advertisement In a newspa per Is upon the skirt of the publishers ot the paper as well as ujton the skirts of tbe saloon keeper. We are glad to see the sentiment against the liquor traffic growing stronger each day and hope to see the time soon come when all respectable newspapers will refuse to aid tbe Itqubr dealers In their unholy traffic by publishing thetr alluring advertisements. We believe the temperance people ot the state should show their appreciation of the noble stand they have taken at con siderable financial loss by giving The Georgian their hearty support and patronage.
