Chronicle & sentinel. ffKDSK.SDaV HOK.MJi fi. MARCH 24. St. Patrick's Day.— Wednesday, the sevento ih of March and the anniversary of Saint Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ire land, was celebrated in an appropriate in inner in every city in the United States by the many natives of the Emerald Isle who arc exiles from their country,from per secution or want in the laud of their adop tion, religiously observe the festivals which are kept in their own birth place, or the birth-place of their fathers beyond the Atlantic. In Augusta yesterday the Saint's anniv reary was kept in a peculiarly im posing manner. At about eight o’clock in the morning the different Societies and Eire Companies met at the Hall of the Hibernian Benev ;icnt Society, situated on the upper part of Jackson street, the ap pointed repdezvom. Here the procession was formed under the direction of Alder man Gargan, a member of the Hibernian Benevolent Society, the Marshal chosen for the day, who was aided by Assistant Marshall selected from the other organiz ations present od the occasion. The pro cession having been formed, preceded by a brass band, marched from the hall of the society down Jackson street until it reached Greene; here it turned and went up Greene to Kollock; through the latter street to Broad and thence down the south side of Broad street. The scene, as the procession marched along Broad street, was inexpressibly beautiful. As it made its appearance on this street, the morning, which had been ushered in da k and gloomy, suddenly grew bright, the lower ing clouds part id and vanished and the glorious sun shining forth, as, if in har mony with the occasion, its golden beams were reflected on the gay uniforms and badges of the throng which marched below, presenting u spectacle never wit nessed before in this.city. On the sidewalks of this, our magnificent boulevard, and in the doors of the stores and the windows of the houses which hue the street was gathered an immense oorieourse of citizens who were drawn thither by curiosity and who added greatly to the general effect of the spectacle. First in order came the excellent brass band in full blast; of course surrounded by a countless throng of col ored gemins who are so ea-ily attracted and fascinated by the sound of a musical instrument. Directly following the band were the members of the Hibernian Be nevolent Society, a numerous and influen tial social, charitable and national organi zation established in this city for tho com memoration of the national festivals of the mother country. They wore badges made of the national color, greon, and presented a very handsome appearanoo. Its Presi dent, itobt. H. May, arid Vico President, Patr ek Walsh, marched in tho van of the procession. Immediately in roar of the Hibernians camo the Society of Saint Vin cent do Paul, a religious organization con nected with the Homan Catholic Cburoh, who wore also a green badge like the others but tastefully slashed and fringed with gold. Tho following are the principal officers of this Society : President J. D. Kavanagh ; First Vice President Ed ward Boulineuux, and second Vice President, Joltnan McAdams; also next in order camo a third Society, that of Saint Aloy .im, also the officers of Saint Aloysius are William Mulhorin andE. F. Samuels — a religious organization of tho Catholic, Church. Tho many members of this Society wore a badge of crimson color be neath which was a green ground ornament ed with a shamrock and golden harp. Tho juvenile members of this Society were also out in lull foroo and wore decorated with tlic same badges. Following the Societies camo a second brass band, bohind which inarched tho different fire companies, who turned out in honor of Saint Patrick. First among tho latter was the Washing ton Fire Company No. 1, under command of their Captain, John Nebling. Tho members of this company wore an uniform consisting of red shirts slashed with black, black pauts and firomeu’s caps. The Wash ington was accompanied, as is usually the case on such Occasions, by tho “little Washingtons” alias “Mobile, No. 14,” a company of juvenile firemou composed of the sons of the members of the senior organization. Next in the procession came the “Augusta” Fire Company, No. 5, under the command of Captain Kennally. The members of the Augusta were clad in a jacket of Confederate gray—the color so dear to the heart of every Southern man or woman—with facings, collars and cuffs of green, firemen’s caps and pants of black broad cloth. Tho “Blannerhassett” Fire Company, No. 6, under command of Captain Maddry, followed, third in order among the fire companies. The uniform worn by this company was a shirt of red trimmed with black, pants of black broad cloth and firemen's caps. Fourth in line marched the "lllohmond” No. 7, under' command of Captain McAuliffe. The members of the Richmond w re shirts of blue flannel slashed, with white firemen’s caps, and pants of black broadcloth. In rear of tho Richmond, and closing the procession, was tho “Citizen” Fire Com pany No. 8, under command of its Cap tain, William C. Bryson. This organiza tion wore an uniform consisting of fire men’s caps, shirts open in front and turned back, trimmed with black, and pants of black broadcloth. The procession marched down the south side of Broad street to Monument; through Monument to Greene ; up Greene to Mo lutosh ; through Mclntosh to Telfair to St. Patrick's Cathedral. Arrived here the Societies moved up tho Grand Aisle, tak ing scats in front of the altar, followed by the Fire Companies and others. After a solemn High Mass the Rev. James O’Hara, the orator of the day, delivered a discourse appropriate to the occasion. Father O’Hara took for the subject of his discourse the fife and services of St. Patrick, which was listened to with re spectful attention throughout. The Bev. lather spoke with much force aud feeling of the services of St. Patrick in behalf of Christianity. In tho evening there was given at the Cathedral a grund sacred concert, the pro ceeds arising from which are to be applied for the payment of the splendid organ which uow adorns the Church. Two large and fins statues—one of Ireland’s Patron Saint, the other of Saint Bridget —were also blessed in the same place, and the immense concourse, which filled the Cathe dral to its utmost capacity, were treated to a most entertaining and instructive lecture by_ Father A. J. Ryan. The poet-priest, whose noble South-songs havo found a plaee in every Southern home and endear ed their author to every Southern heart, never appeared to better advantage, never spike v.iih more eloquence and earnest ness than he did on this occasion, when, during the whole of his oration, he held his aud.cnee as if spell-bound by his won derful c.ocution and rhetoric. The l ooeert was a complete success, and j is unanimously declared to be one of the > finest ever given in this city. The greatest ; pains wer taste isplayed in ar ranging the ning - programme. Some ! of the finest vocal and instrumental per I formers were engaged far its rendition, and j the result was a rich musical banquet. In ! the necessary brief limits of a newspaper I article, we have not space for turtber com- i ments, But must content ourselves with ! only a brief notioe of the different p\ eces ■ ! An organ voluntary—an improvisation 0 n ' National airs—by Mr. Weigand—; a "N&. ! tional Hymn, solo and chorus” —composed by Mr. Weigand— sung by Mrs. Kavanagh and the choir of the Cathedral; “Gloria in Kxcelsis Deo’’—sung by the whole choir; a solo soprano, “Salve Regina',’’ sung by Mrs. Blois, from our sister city, Savannah. a basso solo “Redemption Mundi”—by Mr. Charles Spaeth; a solo and chorus “Aveverum,” arranged by Mr. Weigand, from the great “pardon scene” in the ope ra of Ernani. The solo sung by Mr. Spaeth, the chorus by the choir . a bari tone solo, “Motello”—sung by Mr. Hopf garten; an organ opperloere, by Mr. Weigand ; a chorus, “Magnificat”—by thß choir ; a soprano solo, “Ave Maria”— by Miss Durban ; a trio, “Yeni Creator ’ —by Mrs. May and Messrs. O’Brien and Hopfgarten ; a soprano solo, “0 Saluta ris”—by Mrs. May ; “InfUmmatus,” a i solo and chorus from Rossini’s Stabat | Mater —the solo by Mrs. Blois and the chorus by the choir. After the concert was over the members | of “Augusta No. 5” had a punch-drink ing at their hail on Jackson street. This j j was a most pleasant little social re-union j | of the company, the Societies and many j | invited guests, gotten up in fine style, and passing off in the pleasant possible man- ! j ner. With this last, closed Sai-1 Patrick's day in Augusta. A Reward Offered for the Ex ecutioners of Darden.— The visit of Mr. Norris, the High Sheriff of Warren coun ty, to Atlanta on last Saturday, has»not, apparently, been without effect Gov ernor Bullock publishes, in the Atlanta Intelligencer of Tuesday, a proclamation containing a long list of whereasses and offering five thousand dollars reward for the arrest of the parties who lynched George W. Darden in Warren county on last Friday night, with proof sufficient to convict them of the offence. The American Farmer for March has been received, and is filled with valu able agricultural information, which is of so much importance to the farmer and planter. The Fanner is published by WorthingtoD & Lewis, Baltimore Md., at $2 a year, in advance. Augusta Labor Union.— According to ! the adjournment of last Thursday week a meeting of the Labor Union was held on j Thursday evening at the City Hall, at eight o’clock. Mr. Ells called the meeting to order, and announced the declination of Mr. E. H. Rogers. He said that the next thing to do was to make some provision for the election of a President. He found that the objects of the organization were mis understood by our citizens, and iu a few well-timed remarks explained what they really wer . Mr Haley moved that Mr. Ells bo re quested to act as President and Mr. Castle bery as Secretary. Carried. Mr. Haley,from the committee appointed at the last meeting, reported that he had not raised the amount called for at the last meeting with which to procure a char ter. An invitation was extended to any one present who believed in the principles of the Union to come forward and give in their names. Several gentlemen availed themselves of the opportunity to become a member. A member moved to go into an election for permanent President of the Union. Mr. Maher moved as an amendment thut a committee be appointed to select a suitable man for the position. Mr. Ashby made a few remarks, in which he stated that if it was the unani mous wish of the Union that he would take the matter into consideration. He would not run if there was any oppposi tion. Tho question was put on appointing a nominating committee to nominate a Presi dent and lost. Tho resolution to elect officers at once was put and carried. Mr. Ammons nominated Mr. Henry Rogers and Mr. Haley nominated Mr. Ashby. They both declined but the elec tion was ordered to proceed. Mr. Maher nominated Mr. Ells. The latter said while he did not seek the office he was willing to leave the matter in the hands of the Union. The election was held with the following result: J. L. Ells, fifteen votes; L. P. Ashby, five votes; Henry Rogers, six votes. Mr. Elis was declared elected President of tho Union and accepted tho position. His election was made unanimous. An election was ordered for Secretary and Treasurer. Several candidates wore nominated but all withdrew and, on motion of Mr. Ashby, Mr. D. T. Castleberry was elected to the office by acclamation. Mr. Ashby made a speech on the objects of the Society, etc., after which some other business was transacted and the meeting adjourned. Harper's Weekly , tho blackest of Mon grel sheets, says: “One wonders that the South does not rebel anew, when oneeousiders thomiserable vermin who have beea sent down there as Government officials.” But none except miserable vermin would accept the offices, or go there at all under such accursed laws as the Recon struction Acts. However, we are glad Harper confesses that the scoundrels who are sent to govern the South are “miser able vermin.”— Banner oj Liberty. The Wallace Darden Affair.— The New York Herald #f last Monday, in an editorial article written on the recent tragedies which have taken place in War ren oounty, in this State, makes a great mistake as to the scene of the occurrence. The article in question says: “YVe told how, in Augusta, Ga., Darden voted against YVnllaoe; how YY’aliace published him as a liar, and then how Darden shot YVallace, firiug at him out of a window as Grant did in Richmond and Charles the Niuth iu Paris. YVe ought to have written ‘to be continued’ at the end of that story. Darden, haviug been consigned to jail, was forcibly taken our the same night, carried a little way to a quiet place in the woods and ‘shot aud killed’ by a party of unknown men. Land is pretty cheap all round Au gusta and there are fine chances for settlers.” YVe would inform the Herald that these unfortunate occurences did not take place in Augusta, hut in YVarrenton, the oounty seat of YVarren county, and distant more than fifty miles from this city. YY'o trust that the Herald will make the necessary correction, as the article would naturally cause a Northern man who read it to be lieve that there was not adequate protec tion for fife iu this community, when such is not the ease. The last two lines of the paragraph are eminently correct. “Land is pretty cheap all around Augusta, there are tine chances for settlers,“and Northern men who come out here to reside need have uo apprehension of violence or lynch law. Cotton Planters—Directions for Ukking Rhodes Super-Phosphate, the old and Longest Established Stand ard Manure.—Rhodes’ Super-Phos phate can be used either broadcast or in the hill, or with the seed in the drill —in no instance is it to be ploughed uuder a sod, nor bedded upon. In case of re-planting or backward growth, Rhodes’ applied as top-dressing E’iuees speedy growth —it does not jire. osure is of great advantage, as it rbs ammonia from the atmosphere, rain and dew—it being established that a large quantity of ammonia per acre is evolved during the year from these sources. An application of two hundred pounds per acre is considered sufficient for crops, but experienced planters report three hun> dred pounds per acre as repaying the out lay —high manuring, on fewer acres, being the most desirable under our changed labor system. Professor Charles U. Shepard, in a recent paper, says • “The planter wili never obtain the best effect of artificial fertilizers until he in corporates them largely with composts of stable manure, vegetable muuk and wood ashes. The idea of trusting to a few hun dred pounds to the acre ol even the best fertilizers seems next to absurb to the Northern or European agriculturist, who thinks nothing of enriching the same acre with ten or fifteen tons of a sound com post.” Messrs. Beall, Spears & Cos. are the agents in this eity for Rhodes’ Super- Phosphate, and also for Orchilla Guano — A A —another well-known fertilizer. At* : tendon is directed to the advertisement in another column. A Valuable Recipe.—The following tocipe is valuable to those who have shirt bosoms, as well as to iaundresses and house wives who have men and boys about the house: To do up Shirt Bosoms.—Take two ounces of fine white gum arabic powder— put it into a pitcher, and pour on a pint or more ot hot water —and then having covered it, let it stand all night. In the morning pour it carefully from the dregs into a cieau bottle, cork it and keep it for use. A tablespoonful of gum water stirred in a pint of starch made in the usual manner, will give to the lawn, either white or printed, a look of newness, when nothing else can restore them, after they have been washed. j The Casey Farmers” Road.—The j charter for this road, under the name and I style of the Augusta and Hartwell Rail , road Company, has passed both branches ! of the General Assembly, and only re | quires the official sanction to be of force, i The people of Columbia, Elbert, Lincoln and other interested counties, can now organize effectively and push forward the enterprise. United States Hotel, Atlanta, Ga. —This hotel, opposite and near the pas senger depot, is one of the best in the city of' Atlanta. For table luxuries, comforta ble rooms, kind and courteous proprietors, attentive servants, taste and good ordtr, it cannot be excelled. Central to the business of the city, and so Dearths depot, with every desirable ac commodation, it is emphatically the peo ple’s hotel. Tiif. Adjournment of the Legisla ture. —The Reconstructed Legislature of the years 180 Sand 'C‘J adjourned on the evening of Thursday, March 18th inst. In the Senate the scene was peculiarly impressive. Before that august body re ceived the benediction of the President, the Senator from tho forty-fifth district sang the following, as the parting hymn, ' in the most pathetic style : CLOSING HYMN. We would not sit always—we ask not to stay, I Though sweet the per diem ninedoilars per day. • ; Tho few paltry pickings left by Bullock here, Are not w orthy the taking. So ends our career. : We would not sit always, though tricked of our tin, Teinptatiou without and corruption within. A people self-ruling, their traitors will spurn, 'We would not sit always—we move to ad journ. Northern Visitors to the South. — During the last Winter there has been a greater number of visitors to the South from the Northern and Eastern States than, we believe, has ever come here in any preceding season. South Carolina, Georgia and Florida have been the States most favored in this respect. Attracted by the mild climate, which presents so strik ing a contrast to the snow and ice of their own homes, invalids and others have come among us in such crowds that they now complain, through the Northern press, that they cannot find sufficient accommo dations. The New York Times, in an ar ticle on this subject, says : “We have discouraging accounts, from private sources, from those who propose going South for a milder climate during the raw and inclement season of our Sprirtg. There seems to be no room there, as every place is already full! Passengers from Savannah, by boat to Florida, very frequently return in the same boat because they can find no accommodations what ever. Invalids from the North already occupy every available house in all the available towns of that vicinity, as of near ly every other of the Southern States. Even in Savannah, where the hotel accom modations are better than in most South ern cities, and where the climate is not especially inviting, guests are constantly turned away for lack of room. Our North ern people must buy Southern places for their Winter residence; and fortunately the chances to do so on favorable terms are very abundant. That thousands of our citizens will avail themselves of them we have no doubt. ” This is a very unfortunate state of af fairs, if the “accounts” be correct, and one which should be remedied as speedily as is possible. It is to the interest of the Northern people to come here where they derive so much benefit from the change, and it is certainly to our own interest that they shall not be turned away from a want of suitable accommodations. The advice of the Times to this class to purchase places in the South for Winter residences is very judicious and should be followed. Land is remarkably cheap in this section of country, and parties wishing to pur chase can do so on the most reasonable terms. How tiie Enemy Works.— ln order to give our readers some idea of the manner in which the Bullock-Blodgett ring of tho Radical party in this State are working in order to have Georgia put under a provis ional government, we publish the follow ing dispatch sent to tho Washington Chronicle in relation to the recent trage dies iu Warren county. The dispatch, which is dated Atlanta, March 14, and was probably sent by His Excellency, or some of his allies, says, “The Ivu-klux assassins are again at work. Dr. George W. Darden, a highly respectable and wealthy citizen, and well known loyalist of Warren county, who had a personal diffi culty some days since, which resulted in his shooting a man named Wallace, editor of a Ku-klux journal at Warrenton, im mediately surrendered to the civil authori ties, and was placed in jail. The Sheriff of the country, fearing Darden would not be safe, called on the better class of citi zens to act as a posse to guard the jail over night; but the citizens declined to act, being overawed by an armed band of Ku klux, numbering about one hundred, who took immediate possession of the town. They demanded the keys of the jail from the Sheriff; and on his refusal to deliver them up, their demonstrations became so violent that he was compelled to seek safety iu flight, carrying with him the keys. The band then at midnight on Fri day last returned to the jail, broke into it, and fearing that Darden had a pistol they built a fire at the doorway, and smoked him out. Darden requested permis sion to make a will, which was granted. He was then taken, and in the presence of his wife and children, barbarously murder ed by these savages, not less than 150 pistol balls ptercing his body. The Sheriff is now here, asking military protection for his county and for his life. Since tho as sassination of the Sheriff of Richmond county in the November election, this man is the only Republican Sheriff left in the State. An attempt was made to assassinate Darden last September, and warrants were obtained by him against parties, which warrants were in the Lands of the present Sheriff, Norris, for service, when he (Norris) was waylaid and shot in Decem ber. The county of Warren is the head quarters for the Ku Klux of six surround ing counties, and it is in this section that outrages and murders upon Republicans ! have been most frequentfy committed. ■ Application has repeatedly and continually 1 been made by the civil authorities to the military for protection and assistance in ! that section, but without avail. Loyal men now exclaim, how much longer must ! we wait for the organization of a legal and i loyal Legislature that will pass laws that vflll protect our fives ; and which the military, under orders of a loyal President, | can assist in carrying out ?” Os course the editor of the Chronicle J (.John W. Forney) makes this dispatch the text for an article showing Congress the I necessity for a “proper reconstruct ion of ! the State of Georgia. Life Like a River.—Bishop Heber, ' upon departing for India, said in his tare- , well sermon: “ Life bears us on like the stream of a mighty river. Our boat at first goes down j the mighty channel—through the playful : urmurings of thejlittie brook, and the willows j upon its grassy borders. The trees shed j their blossoms over our young heads, the j flowers on the brink seem to offer them- j selv to our young hands; we are happy in j hope and grasp eagerly at the beauties < around us; the stream hurries on, and still | our hands are empty. Our course in j youth and in manhood, is along a wider, deeper flood, and amid objects more strking and magnificent. We are animated by the moving picture of enjoyment and industry passing us; we are excited by our short-lived enjoy ments. The stream bears us on. and joys and griefs are left behind us. We may be shipwrecked, but we cannot be delayed; for, rough or smooth, the river hastens toward its home, till the roar of the ocean is in our ears, and the wavesbeneath our feet, and the floods are lifted up around us, and we take our. leave of earth and its inhabitants, until of our fur i ther voyage there is no witness save the Infinite and Eternal.” San Francisco supports an Americanized Italian opera troupe, two circuses, a ministrel company, and three legitimate 1 theatres. i Peters’ Musical Monthly.—The March number of Peters' Musical Monthly ! is at hand, and contains some twenty-four i pages of choice new music, giving selec tions from the most popular writers, and ! variety enough to suit the most fastidious. In addition to the music, Mr. Peters gives fifteen pages of choice family reading, and all for the moderate sam of thirty cents or : three dollars p er year—over three dollars : worth of new music appearing in each j number. Those of our musical friends who , do not subscribe are certainly losing a rich I trea , as forty dollars worth of music cannot | be bought every day for such a small sum. YVe have also received the March nuni' her of Peters' Parlor Companion for the ' Flute, Violin and Piano, consisting of six ' teen pages of select music, arranged for I the Flute and Y r iolin, with Piano accom paniments, and the Monthly Glee Hive, consisting of fourteen pages of music, ar- for mixed voices, with Piano ac companiments- Terms three dollars per annum, or thirty cents for single copies. For either of the above publications, address J. L. Peters, Music Publisher, P. 0. Box 5.429, New York. Single copies thirty cents. The Brooklyn Monthly.—We have received the first (March) number of this new magazine. After careful examination of it, we can truthfully say that if the sub sequent numbers are as good as the first, the “ Brooklyn Mouthin'' will be one of' the handsomest and most readible periodicals published in this country. The publishers announce that they have engaged some of the best and most popular writers of the age as contributors to the Magazine, and they seem determined to make it all that could be desired. The following brilliant table of contents appears iu the first num ber : “Henry YVard Beecher” (with por trait) —byL. P. Broekett, M. D.; “Histo ry of Education „in King’s county”—by ii. R. Styles, M. D.; “He Knew he was Right” —tho three opening chapters of a new and fascinating novel by Anthony Trollope; “j he Blighted Life,a physician's story”—by Miss SS. Hartley; “Infant Bur ial;” “TheDominees ride the Devil;” “In Yfono Yforitus;” “Newspaper Life in New York;” “Chronicles of Granville;” “The Hymns of the Middle Ages;” “A Morning in a New York Police Court;” “En Masque;” “Tho Last Battle of the YY r ar;” “Genuine Wine;” “Brooklyn’s Opportu nity,” etc., etc. The Brooklyn Monthly is published by Horace W. Love & Cos., No. 379 Fulton street, Brooklyn, New York. Subscription price §2 per annum in advance. The Swiss Bell Ringers.—The last performance given by this celebrated troupe in our city was as well attended as any of the previous ones and proved that their popularity has,as yet, suffered no diminish ment. We can conscientiously recommend them to our brethren of the press through out the South. Pianos and Parlor Organs, etc.— Mr P. Brenner notifies the readers of the Chronicle & Sentinel that he is pre pared to furnish Pianos, Palor Organs and all kinds of musical instruments. He also repairs and tunes Pianos. As Mr. B. is well-known to the people of Augusta,it is unnecessary for us to do more than direct attention to his advertisement. tiie ku klux—eleven freedmen almost BEATEN TO DEATH, ANOTHER SHOT DEAD, AND A MULATTO GIRL WHIPPED AND OUTRAGED, IN ONE NIGHT. (By telegraph to the Tribune.) Atlanta, Ga., March 16. —About three miles from Barnett’s Station, where a month ago the Rebels took possession of a Railroad train, another band of Ku-Kiux on Sunday night prowled about until day break, committing numerous outrages on colored people. They beat eleven freed men almost to death, fractured the arm of one, and shot another quite dead. They also whipped most cruelly a bright mulat to girl, only sixteen years old, and, when insensible and almost dead, four of the fiends in succession outraged her person. The above is taken from the telegraphic columns of the New York Tribune of last Wednesday. It will be easily recognized, we think, as coming from Bullock, Hun gerford & Cos., News Agents, Atlanta, Georgia, and was sent to aid in convincing Congress that the State needs further re construction. Upon inquiry, made in the best quarter for obtaining information on the subject, we find that there is just one fie to each line of the dispatch. A Rail road train was never captured on the Geor gia Road; there were no Ku-Klux out on last Sunday night; there were no freedmen beaten; none killed; and no “bright mulat to girl” outraged. The dispatch is a false hood manufactured out of whole cloth in Atlanta, for the purpose of influencing Congress to put Georgia under a Provision al Government. From the Richmond Enquirer and Examiner , March 15. Concerning Widows. There are widows and widows, sarcasti cally remarks the Saturday Review. There are those who are bereaved, and those who are released ; those who lose their support, and those whose chains arc broken; those who are sunk ia desolation, and those who wake up into freedom. Os the first we will not speak. There is a sorrow too sacred to be publicly handled even with sympathy ; but the second de mands no such respectful reticence. The widow who is no sooner released fro a one husband than she plots for another, and the widow who leaps into liberty over the grave of a gander, not a lover, are fair game enough. They have always been favorite subjects for authors to exercise their wits on; and while men are what they are —laughing animals apt to see the humor lying in incongruity, and with a spice of the devil to sharpen that same laughter into satire —they will remain favorite subjects, tragic as the state is when widowhood is deeper than mere out ward condition. There are many varieties of the widow, and all are not beautiful. For one, there is the widow who is bent on re-marrying whether men like it or not —that thing of prey who goes about the world seeking whom she may devour ; that awful crea ture who bears down on her victims with a vigor in her assaults that puts to flight the popular faney about the weaker sex and the distribution of power. No hawk poised over a brood of hedge birds, no shark cruis ing steadily toward a shoal of small fry, no piratical craft sailing under a free flag and accountable to no law save success, was ever more formidable to the weaker things pursued thau is the hawk widow bent on re marrying. She knows so much; there is not a manoeuvre by which a victo ry can be stolen that she has not mastered, aDd she is not afraid of even the most des perate measures. When she has once struck, he would be a clever man and a bold one who could escape her. Generiliy left but meagrely provided for in worldly goods—else ber game would not be so difficult—she makes up for her poverty here by her wealth of bold resources, and by the courage with which she takes her own fortunes in hand, and, with her own, those of her more eligible masculine asso ciates She is a woman of purpose, and lives for an end ; and that end is re marriage. If fate has dealt hardly by her —though, may be, compassionately by her . successive spouses —and has landed her in 1 the widowed state twice or thrice, she is nowise daunted, and as little abashed. She merely refits after a certain time of anchor age,and goes out into the open air again for a repetition of her chance. She has no Dotion of a perpetuity of weeds, and, though she may have cleared her half cen tury with a margin besides, thinks the ’ suggestive orange blossoms of the bride infinitely more desirable than the fruitless ' heliotrope of the widow. If one husband is taken, she remembers the old proverb, \ and reflects on the many, quite as good, | who are potentially left subject to her j choice, And somehow she manages. It j has been said that any woman can marry ; any man if she determines to do so, and I follows on the line of her determination with tenacity and common sense. The j hawk widow exemplifies the truth of this , j saying. She determines upon marriage, I j and she usually succeeds ; the question j 1 being one of victim only, not of! sacrifice. One has to fail to her share; ' ■ there is no help for it, and the whole con ; test is, which shall it be ? which is strong- . ■ est to break her bonds ? which craftiest to ! i slip out of them ? which most resolute not ■ t 0 bear them from the beginning ? This j the straggling covey must settle among ; themselves the best way they can. When j , the hawk pounces down upon its quarry, it is sauve quipeut! But all cannot be saved. One has to be caught, and the choice is determined partly by chance, and partly by relative strength. When the widow of experience and resoive bears down upon her prey, the result is equally certain. Floundering avails nothing ; struggling and splashing are just as futile ; one among the crowd has to come to the slaughter, and to assist at his owo immo lation. The best thing he can do is to make a handsome surrender, and to let the world •of men and brothers believe he rather likes his position than not. * But there are pleasanter types of the re- ' marrying widow than this. There is the widow of the YY'adman kind, who has out lived her grief and is not disinclined to a repetition of the matrimonial experiment, if asked thereto by an experimenter after her own heart. Bat in a pretty, tender, womanly way, if not quite so timidly as a i girl, yet as becomingly in her degree, and ’ with that peculiar fascination which noth j ing but the combination of experience and I modesty can give. The widow of the Wad man kind is no creature of prey, neith-r j shark nor hawk: at the worst, she is but a i cooing dove, making just the sweetest little | noise in the world, the tenderest little call, I to indica e her whereabouts, and to show j that she is lonely and feelsit. Shesitsclose, ; waiting to be found,and does not ramp and j dash about like the hawk sisterhood; | neither does she pretend that she is un ; willing to he found, still less deny that a t soft, warm’nest, well lined and snugly shel. ; tered, is better than a lonely branch, stretched out comfortless and bare into the | bleak, wide world. She, too,is almost sure to j get what she wants, with the advantage of 1 being voluntarily chosen,and not unwilling ly submitted to. This is the kind of woman who is always mildly but thoroughly happy in her married life; unless her hus band should be a brute, which Heaven fore fond. She lives in peace and bland con tentment while the fates permit, and when he dies she buries him decently and laments him decorously; but she thinks it foliy to spend her life i in weeping by the side of his cold grave, when her tears can do no good to either of them. Rather she thinks it a proof of her love for him, and the evidence of how true was her happi ness, that she should elect to give him a successor. Her blessed experience in the past has made her trustful in the future ; and because she has found one man faith ful she thinks that all are Abdiels. Asa rule, this type of women does find men pleasant, and by her own nature ensures domestic happiness. She is always ten derly, and never passionately, in love, even with the husband she has loved the best; she gives in to no excesses to the right or the left; her temperament is of that serene moonlight kind which does not fatigue others nor wear out its possessor ; without ambition, or the power to fling her.-.elf into any absorbing occupation, Bhe lives only to please and be pleased at home; and if she is not a wife, wearing her light fetters lovingly, aud proud that she is fettered, she is nothing. As some womon are born mothers and others born nuns, so is the YVadmah woman a born wife, and shines in no other character nr capacity. But in this she excels; and knowing this, she sticks to her role, how frequently so ever the interlocutor may be changed. There are widows, however, who have no thought or desire for remaining any thing but widows—who have gained the worth of the world in their condition. “ Jeune , riche, et veuve—quel bonheur !" says the French wife, eyeing 1 I mon mari ” askance. Can the most exacting woman ask for more ? Aud truly such a one is in the most enviable position possibly to a woman, supposing always that she has not lost in her husband the maD she loved. If she has lost only the man who sat by right at the same hearth with herself—perhaps the man who quarrelled with her across the ashes—she has lost her burden, and has gaii ed her release. The cross of matri mony lies heavy on niaoy a woman who never takes the world into her confidence, and who bears in absolute silence what she has not the power to c;ist from her. Per haps her husband has been a man of note, a man of learning, of elevated station, a political or philanthropic power. She alone knew the fretfulness at home of the man of large repute whom his generation conspired to honor, and whose public life was a mark for the future to date by. YVhen lie died the press wrote his eulogy and his elegy; but his widow, when she put on her weeds, sang softly in her own heart a paem to the great King of Freedom, and whispered to herself Laudamus, with a sigh of unutterable re lief. 1 o such a woman widowhood has no sentimental regrets. She has come into possession of the goods for which perhaps she sold herself; she is young enough yet to enjoy, to project a future; she has the free choice ofa maid and the free action of a matron, as no other woman has. She may be courted, and she need not be chaperoned, nor yet forced to accept. Ex perience has mellowed and enriched her; for though the asperities of her former con dition were sharp while they lasted, they had not time permanently to roughen or embitter her. Then the sense of relief gladdens, while the sense of propriety subdues her; aud the delicate mixture of outside melancholy, tempered with inter nal warmth, is wonderfully enticing. Few men know how to resist that gentle sad ness which does not preclude the sweetest sympathy with pleasure in which she may not join—with happiness which is, alas ! denied her. It gives an air of such profound unselfishness; it asks so mute ly, so bewitchingly, _ for consolation. I Even a hard man is moved at the ! sight of a pretty widow in the funeral black of her first grief, sitting apart with a patient smile, and eyes cast meekly down, as one not of the world though in it. Her loss is too recent to admit of any thought of reparation; and yet what man does not think of that time of reparation ? and if she is more than usually charming in person, and well dowered in purse, what man does not think of himself as the best repairer she could take ? Then, as time goes on and she glides gracefully into the era of mitigated grief, hosv beautiful is her whole manner, how tasteful her attire 1 The most exquisite colors of the rampant kind look garish beside her dainty tints, and the untempered mirth of happy girls is coarse beside her faint subdued admis sion of moral sunshine. Greys as tender as a dove’s breast; regal purples which have a glow behind their gloom ; stately silks of sombre black, softly veiled by clouds of gauzy white—all speak of passing time, and the gradual blooming of the Spring after the sadness of the Winter; all symbo lize the flowers which are growing ever on the sod that covers the dear departed ; all hint at the melting of the funeral gloom into a possible bridal. She begins, too, to take pleasure in the old familiar things of life. She steals into a quiet hack seat at tho opera; she just walks through a quadrille; she sees no harm in a fete or flower-show, if properly companioned.— Winter does not last forever,aud a life long mourning is a wearisome prospect, so she goes through her degrees in accurate order, and comes out at the end radiant. For when the faint shadows cast by the era of mitigated grief lade away, she is the wid ow par excellence —the blooming widow, young, rich, gay and free; with the world on her side, her fortune in her hand; and the ball at her feet. She is the freest wo man alive; freer even than any old maid to be found. Freedom, indeed, comes to the old maid when too late to enjoy it; at least in certain directions; for while she is young she is necessarily in bondage, and when parents and guardians leave her at liberty, the world and Mrs. Grundy take up the reins, and hold them pretty tight But the widow is as thoroughly emancipated from the conventional bonds which confine the free action of a maid as she is' from those which fetter the wife; and only she herself knows what she has lost and gained. She bore her yoke well while it pressed on her. It galled her, but she did not wince; only when it was removed did she be come fully conscious how great had been the burden, from her sense of in finite relief. The world never knew that she had passed uuder the harrow; proba bly it wonders at her cheer fulness, with the dear departed scarce two years dead; and some say how sweetly re signed she is, and others how unfeeling. She is neither. She is simply free after ; having lived in bondage, and she is glad in consequence. But she is dangerous. In fact,she is the most dangerous of all women | to men’s peace of mind. She does not want I to marry again—does not mean to marry I again for many years to come, if ever; I granted; but that does not say that she is indifferent to admiration or careless of ; man’s society. And being without serious : intentions herself, she does not reflect that ; she may possibly mislead and deceive ! others who have no such cause as she has i for bewaring of the present folly. In the exerciseof her prerogative as a free woman, able to cultivate the dearest friendships ; with men and fearlessly using her power, I she entangles many a poor fellow’s heart which she never wished to engage more I than platonically, and crushes hopes which she had not the slighest intention to raise. Why cannot men be her friends ? she ; asks ; with a pretty, pleading look—a ten ' der kiod of despair at the wroDgheaded ness of the stronger sex. But, tender as I she is, she does not easily yield even when i she loves. The freedom she has gone through so much to gain she does not rashly throw away; and if ever the day comes when she gives it up into the keep ing of another—and for all her protesta tions it comes sometimes—the man to whom she succumbs may congratulate himself on a victory more flattering to his vanity, and more complete in its surrender of advantages, than he could have gained over any other woman. Belle or heiress,of higher rank or of greater tame than him self, no unmarried woman couid have made such a sacrifice in her marriage as did this widow of means and good looks, when shs j laid her freedom, her joyous present and a potential future in his hand. He will be lucky if he manages so well that he is 1 never reproached, for that sacrifice —if his i wife never looks back regretfully to the ! time when she was a widow, and if there i was no longing glances forward to the pos- j sibilities ahead, mingled with sighs at the difficulty of retracing a step when fairly made. On the whole, if a woman can ■ live without love, or with nothing stronger j : than a tender sentimental friendship, I widowhood is tne most blissful state she can attain. But if she is of a loving na ture, and fond of home, finding her own happiness in the happineffl of others, and indifferent to freedom—thinking, indeed, 1 feminine freedom only another word for desolation —she will be miserable until she has doubled ber experience, and carried 1 on the old into the new. BT TELEGRAPH. FROMATLANTA. Proceedings of lie Legislature, ♦ * SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE OP THE CHRONICLE & SENTINEL. Atlanta, March 18, p. m.—ln the Sen ate there was made an ineffectual effort to reconsider the Fifteenth Amendment, hut it was lost by three votes. Most of the day was consumed on bills of a local character. In the House last night there was much excitement on the resolution purchasing the Opera House. Parliamentary tactics were exhausted by the friends and oppo nents of tho measure to carry their side of the question. Its friends, feeling them selves in a majority, although sixty-two members were absent or not voting, with persistent energy pressed the question to a vote. The minority, knowing them selves to be so, determined to defeat the purchase, if it oould be done in no other way but by stampeding, or refusing to vote. The proposition to make the whole question the special order for the IBth was voted down. On taking the vote on adopt ing the resolution it stood ayes 51, nays 9; not a quorum—Bß is a quorum. This morning the Speaker decided that notwithstanding no quorum voted last night, still the resolution was adopted. Scott appealed from the decision. On taking the vote on indefinite post ponement, there were ayes 64, nays 57. So the Opera Hor.se will not be bought this session. A bill was passed by both Houses to elect Congressmen on the first Wednesday in May. Both Houses spent most of the day in reconciling the disagreements between the two Houses. Theie was the usual disorder and contusion incident to adjourn ment. X. TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. From Atlanta. Atlanta, March 19, p. tn.— Both Houses adjourned sine die last night. Yesterday a motion was made in the Senate authorizing the Sheriff of any coun ty to call on the Governor for U. S. troops to assist Sheriffs whenever deemed neces sary. Hungerford (Rep.) thought the res olution unnecessary, and moved to lay it on tho table, which motion was sustained —ayes 11, nays 12. On the motion for a reconsideration of the indefinite postponement of the Fif teenth Amendment, yesterday morning, the resolution was sustained, and the amendment was put on its final passage, and defeated by the following vote: Re publicans voting for adoption, 8; Demo crats voting lor adoption, 5; Republicans voting against adoption, 7; Democrats vot iug agaiust adoption, Si; Republicans ab sent and dodging the vote, 8. Thus the 15th amendment was slaughtered in a Re publican Senate after its passage by a Democratic House of Representatives. Both Houses passtd a General Appro priation bill, wtiioh was signed by the Governor. The House to ok up the Senate resolution to purchase the Kimball Opera House for a Capitol building. The Chair ruled that the majority having voted to adopt the Senate resolution, and a quorum being present, but refusing to vote, decided the question settled. An appeal from the de cision of the Chair was sustained, and the purchase of the Opera House was indefi nitely postponed—yeas 64, nays 57. From Europe.

Washington, March 20, noon.—Ferry stating that it was not protwble the House would agree to the Senate proposal for a select committee to consider applications for removal of disabilities, moved to refer them to the Committee on the Judioiary ; which was done. Subsequently Robertson’s resolution for the appointment of a select Senate Com mittee of nine was agreed to and applica tions will be referred to it. Washington, March 20, p. m.—T. L. Tullock, Secretary of the Republican Con gressional Committee, has been appoint ed Appointment Clerk of the Treasury. Discussion to-day looks more favorable to repeal, though the discussion will oe prolonged next week. Washington, March 20, p. m.—The ap pointment of Robertson as Chairman of the Committee for tho removal of disabili ties, indicates a stringent examination of cases and favor of very few. Robertson recently remarked, regarding reports in Carolina papers that ho was tending to ward Democracy, that, on the contrary, he and his oolleague were fully as Radical as ever. No nominations to-day. Several con firmations—none affecting theiSouth. The Committee of Commerce reported favorably for Casey as Collector of the port of New Orleans. It also reported back Longstreet’s nomination without any rec ommendation. The executive session took no actiou either. From Columbia, S. C. Columbia, March 20, p. m.—The Legis lature, after a severe contest involving several millions dollars of State bonds as sistance to railroad enterprises between interested parties for the railroads on the one side and the Governor and a number of the Legislature opposed to granting State aid, has resulted in a grand defeat of all the railroad schemes, and the General Assembly will adjourn sine die on the twenty-fourth.

Singing is a “institution!” It oils the wheels of care, supplies tho place of sunshine. A man who sings has a good heart under his shirt front. Such a man not only works moro willingly, hut he works more constantly. A singing cobbler will earn as much money again as one who gives way to low spirits and indigestion. Avaricious men never sing. The man who attacks singing throws a stone at the head .of hilarity, and would, if he could, rob June of its roses and August of its mead ow larks. Singing proniotes health, strengthens the voice, the organs of the throat and and prevents or cures consumption. Singing is an excellent agent for promoting mental hygienc.- Htrald of Health. A few evenings since, with joyous spirits and gorgeously arrayed, I sallied forth with charming Clara, for a dashing promenade. Ah, what strains of ma fe ic power swell the ohord of youthful pride, as one treads the walks of fashion with a beauty by his side! Clara, with grace bewitching, seemed to trip on fairy feet, and each passer turned to view us, sailing gladly up the street; thrilled this heart, for my fond affection’s queen, beating time with quickest measure, to her crinoline. Suddenly my charmer faltered, as if shocked by some great ill, while the anguish of her features, seemed my very soul to still; lightly on my arm she languished, and I cried in anxous fear— speak, my darling Clara —tell me what’s the matter dear! Methinks her gentle form grew lesser by the collapse'of her gown, as she sighed in trembling accents, ‘‘Love, my skeleton is down!” Cure for Ingrowing Nails.— lt is stated that the cauterization by hot tallow is an immediate cure for ingrowing nails. Put a small piece of tailow in a spoon, and heat it over a lamp until it becomes very hot, and drop two or three drops between the naii and granulation. The effect is almost magical. Pain and tenderness are at once relieved and in a few days the granulation all go, leaving the diseased parts dry, so as to admit of being pared away without any inconvenience. The operation causes little if any pain, if the tallow is properly heated. A country schoolmaster began one morn ing the duties of the day with prayer, as usual ; but after prayer he went up and asked a little boy why ho had not shut his eyes during the prayer, when the boy sharply responded, “We are in the Bible to watch as well as pray.” A couple of drummers beseiged an old lady in Illinois, to buy a patent churn from them. She said it was a humbug, and they offered to make the butter come in ton minutes. So she filled the machine with butter-milk, and they tugged at the crank for two hours before they discovered the unctious practicaljoke. All the conductors on the New Hamp shire Railroad have been removed for stealing. It is discovered that they have robbed the company of about $250,000 annually for eight years,and have all made themselves so rich that they have combin ed and bought up enough of the stock to turn out the directors who turned them out. The whole State is boiling with the excitement. When the Lincoln party came into power the conductors began to steal. And they have marched to the musio of the party ever since. Mr;'. Kelly, of Black Brook, New York, is thirty-eight years old, has been married twenty-one years, and is the mother of nineteen children without ever having twins, the youngest child being thirteen months old.
