Y.] Ay, deck our heroes’ graves with flowers, The fairest of the Spring; But, in the feelings of your hearts, A nobler tribute bring; Bemember those who gave their lives To save the nation’s life, Nor recked of hardship, or fatigue, Or peril in the strife. They rest in peace—’tis well to strow Flowers o’er each hallowed spot Where now they sleep, though yean have passed, We bUII forget them not. “Men live in deeds, not years,” their deeds Are on the roll of fame. And naught that tosses with length of days Could honor more their name. But when we strew our flowers to-day Above our Union dead, Forget we not the foes who late In strife against us bled. Their graves, with ours, to-day are decked; Their graves with flowers are spread; The living foes are reconciled; Then, peace be to the dead. Our brothers once, our brothers now, If erring, true and brave. Our kinsmen, children of the land Our soldiers fought to save. Unreckoned blood, uncounted gold,’ Hateful fraternal strife. It coat to bring our brothers back. And save the nation’s life. Forget we not the charnels vast ’Neath each great battle plain, Where, undistinguished, rests the dust. Commingled, of the slain; Forget we not the thousand graves Whose tale no tongue can tell. Where by a chance or ambushed shot Some lonely picket fell. The unnamed graves no loving hand Can strew to-day with flowers. The missing ones whom loving hearts Have mourned through weary hours; The graves no monument adorns In thicket and in glade. Where shrouded in the Autumn leaves So many a corpse is laid. Now, as Verona’s hostile elans Joined hands above the grave Where, clasped in death, their children lay. And mutual wrongs forgave. Their long feud quenched, let North and South Forgive and bury deep All bate withiu the common graves Were now their heroes sleep. Then shall the dearest blood of both Our country fertilize. And from their ashes, joined in death, i A grander nation rise: i jj stronger union than the old, “ Fast bound by wrongs forgiven; And all the st rs unclouded gild Our banner’s azure heaven. An E*-Confederate in Egypt. New Orleans, June 9.—Colonel D. F. Boyd, Superintendent of the Louisiana State University, has definitely accept ed the appointment of Superintendent ef the Government Military College, near Cairo, Egypt, with the rank and pay of a Brigadier-General in the regu lar army of the Khedive. THE UNIVERSITY. Popular Science—The Laboratory Lec ture Course—Fourth and Concluding Bpeture—Professor E. M. Pendleton —Agricultural Education. We publish- in the Chronicle and Sentinel this morning tke fourth and last lecture of the Laboratory Coarse. It Was delivered- at Athens, on Friday, the 4th of Jane, at the dedication, of Moore College, by Dr. E. M. Pendleton, Profee so* of Agriculture. Subject— “ Agricultural Education.” After a brief exordium, the Professor said - What Government Aid Has Dene. hen the dißtingnished gentleman Ijom Vermont, Mr. Morrill, introduced -Ms bill in the Lower House of Congress •lor the establishment of an Agricultural College in each State of the Union, he .tacked it np by an able speech, taken from the statistics of the country, by Which he shotted that the soils of the older States were being rapidly ex hausted, and if some measures were not instituted to recuperate them the time could not be far distant when gaunt famine would stalk through our onee prosperous land. He showed that in s single decade the production of wheat had fallen off in the six New England States’from 2,014,111 to 1,063,132 bush els ; that potatoes had decreased in the same States from 35,207,500 to 19,418,019 bushels. And in the States of Ken tucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama there had been a decrease of the pro duction of wheat from 12,012,736 to 6,141,780 bushels. That the wheat crop of the State of New York from 1845 to 1860 had dwindled from 13,391,770 to 6,000,000 bushels. That Western New Yorik had shipped her valuable wheat crops to other countries, containing the invaluable principles of nitrogen, phos phorio acid and potash, until the aver age production per acre was redneed from 25 to 12 bushels. That the. tobac co crop ofVrgiM| was 18,000,000 lbs. less nEIO. That the cotton lands oKißP’Utn had been exhausted production of one bale to to one in five, and that the of many of the old cot- had been reduced 100 per cent, because of the exhaus tion of their lands. That as a conse quence of this general deterioration of the soils of the country, while its popu lation had increased 35 per cent, in a decade, that of domestic animals had only increased 20 per cent. From such facts as these, the honorable gentleman predicated an argument so invincible that 4e carried his bill triumphantly through both houses ojf Congress. The great central idea of this grand move ment was to restore tho worn soils of th 9 country to their pristine fertility and enable agricultural science, by every possible means, to keep pace with the increasing demands of a rapidly increas ing population. Hero, then, we have, in a nut-shell, the origin of these State institutions, the whole scope and design of their formation, the arguments by which Congress was convinced of their necessity, aud the secret which caused the representatives of the people to bestow such a magnifi cent appropriation on an untried and somewhat dubious enterprise. The Mechanic Arts Were brought in as a side issue, not merely to strengthen the main enter prise by arraying in its sppport the in dustrial interests of the country, but be cause of their close connection to agri culture itself, and the aids by which it could indirectly help to sustain its in terests. What if we had plenty of hu man muscle and the most fertile lands ? we could do nothing without impli ments to cultivate, them, railroads to carry our produce to market, and mills to manufacture our raw material. Tims while agriculture is the basis of all the industrial and commercial interests of tha country, the mechanic arts are among its most efficient means of suc cess. Applied chemistry is itsplf a most beautiful and delicate art v based upon one of the most profound and in tricate sciences ; without, which there or ifid be but little, if any, ad vance nade in scientific agriculture. The -fiiMivation of the soil is the sim plasfffif all the arts, and is better learned KJith the common laborers on a farm | tliin under any circumstanoes. On this !* fek, unfortunately, many of these agri fltural institutions have been wrecked, isoonceiving entirely tho idea of what ;ricultural education should be, they ivo undertaken to educate their stu mts as practical farmers and even day borers. Parents have had to pay >ard for their sons to learn how to hoe id plough, which can be done much teapor, much better and much safer at >me. Hence we find in the reports lof many of these institutions that the | agricultural classes have dwindled down Ito a few unfortunate wights, who have Ito carry at onoe the double weight of I physical and mental labor, without any Lhigh and commanding motives to stim ■llate their energies and inspire their [hopes* * * * * Experimental Stations. The climatology of a country has much to do with its agriculture. Hence the importance of having our own ex perimental stations, that we may study ear own climate, soil and productions. | How could we expect the college at Am bnrst, Massachusetts, or the experi* ■Mwtal farm at Rothemstead, England, the cotton plant, to teach its diseases, the rational, life, nutrition and.growth ? The "Tors of this institution acted wisely Wtul establishment of an experimental t” m i" connection with the professor ship (f. agriculture. It is to be regretted that tK.v have not beep.—-jjile to follow it miDb' su ch liberal d&PJj£j°ll9 08 woukipßWV in the front/rank an/Mf£. the 'of the world. I havo done the be si I could under the eircthDistances. Mnny important ex peri iVpts have bcou postponed in order to parry out the rigid economy made necessary by the paucity of funds. Many have failed to be davelope<i iu some of their most interesting phases for the lack of assistance in the analytical department. I feel under many obligations, however, to the chemical professor for suoh vol untary aid as he could find time to give from his arduous duties. It ie out of the question for the intentions of the almoners of this bounty to be carried put as regards the recuperation of our worn out soils without an Experimental Station of High Grade, Where all the appliances of the Labora tory can be run in synchronism with those of the soil. Whatever other de partment has to suffer for funds, wheth er it be the mechanical or military, this should not. It seems to me that while the Legislature has appropriated $15,- 000 for the associate departments of the institution, they ought to allow some thing to the agricultural department proper, and enable the agricultural pro fessor to have at his command the physi cal and chemical analysis of soils, fer tilizers and products, with a view of establishing fixed data as to the causes which operate in soil fertility, the par ticular elements and combination of elements upon which particular plants rely for their sustenance and the extent and character of exhaustion of agricul tural soils. I have progressed far enough in this great study to know that the little already known is bat a small fraction of the great ■profound that lies odt in tantalizing proximity to ns, bnt will only \>e solved, it may be, by the philosophers of coming centuries. Upon the establishment of a first class experi mental station, in our humble opinion, rests more than upon anything else con nected with agricultural education, the recuperation of the soils of the country, the development of the agricultural re sources of Georgia, and the advance ment of the students themselves in agri cultural science. The same difficulties environed the establishment of the first experimental station in Germany, about 25 years ago. But so signal were its benefits to the farming interest that a number were es tablished in a few years by State aid, and it was admitted that far more money had been saved to the Govern ment than u appropriated from the single item of learning to mix and econo mize the car bo hydrates and albuminoids as cattle food*, ‘We ask no money for the erection of costly edifices or spaci ous lecture rooms, or for the purchase of a magnificent farm. We have land enough, implements enough, buildings enough ; we only want such an appro priation as can furnisk us with means to supply the deficiencies in the analytical department. This can be done in sev er always, either of which would be ac ceptable and remunerative. We ask this boon because it is essential to our progress, and because we do not want “ mrne, meue, tekel upharsia ” to be written upon oar gates, as has already bees done with other institutions. * * DenoßstraUons the Experimental B?t wliat, it may be asked, has been done foi the benefit of the cwnntry ? Without reforiing to what ■as been accomplished in my own de partment, as a teacher, or 4 ® my con freres, bearing either directly or indi- ! rectly upon agriculture and its coilSteral sciences, I beg leave to mention slew demonstrations made on the agrieijtu ral farm which are already beginripg to bear fruit, and which, from aesaxVj ces I mm constantly receiving, are being appreciated by the practical agricultu ralists of the country. It has been demonstrated that phosphoric acid is the only mineral element needed to be applied to the worn soils of Georgia to restore them to their pris tine fertility. This fact has been so clearly established by a number of ex periments, and its rationale is so clear and logical that we have no more doubt of it than of the correct solution of any mathematical problem. Take the lead ing agricultural products of the coun try—cotton, corn, wheat, oats, peas, Ac. The average per cent, of silica, carried off in their suds, is only 16-6; of Lime, 24.2; of chlorine (in peas and cotton, we have no estimate for the cereals) 27.3; of soda, 39.6; of snlphnric acid, 41.3; of potash, 58.6; of magnesia, 63.9; and of phosphoric acid, 85.2. Now it shonld be borne in mind that what is left in the stubble and in the roots of plants is, when decomposed, ready at once for the use of succeeding crops. It is as me chanically fine as it can be made, and □fostly in soluble forms. Phosphoric acid is the only one of them all that is likely to go back into insoluble condi tions, nnfit for plant food. Bat ad mitting all the mineral food left in the debris of plants is available for the forthcoming crops, we have left of silica enough for six crops of seed equal to the one taken off. Of lime, more than enough for these crops, and of chlorine not quite enough for three; of soda and snlphnric acid enough for one and a third. Of potash nearly enough for two-thirds, while of phosphoric acid there is just enough left for one-sixth of a crop. Is there any wonder then that snlphnric acid is the first mineral ingredieot exhausted from a soil, when the available form is slow to be develop ed, easy to be thrown back into insolu ble forms, and when there is 'seven times as mnch of this prepared food taken from the soils in the seeds, as is left for future crops in the vegetable matter? Is it any wonder that when soluble phosphoric acid is applied to worn soils such wonderful results should be produced without the application of other mineral ingredient ? And when ap plied even to the richest virgin soils that it should produce such largely increased crops ? Then whenever a soil has the remains of one crop of vegetable matter upon it, minus the seed, there is plenty of all the constituent in an available con dition, except phosphoric acid, to make a good crop, and the succession con tinues as long as there is a good supply of organic matter. Where this fails, rest and rotation of crops shonld follow, in order that by weathering, an increase of potash and magnesia might be pro duced, which would be much cheaper than any attempt to supply the demand with commercial fertilizers. All this has been demonstrated by us, and the facts, the theory and the logic have all resnlted from our experiments. Car ried oat in practice on all the farms of Georgia with its economy of organic matter and of nitrogen, and the applica tion of but one universal element, the amount saved to the farming interest would be incalculable. From calcula tions made by us in reference to over one hundred analyses of American soils, there is enough of magnesia and soda (taking the average) to last over six thousand years for the production of an Average Crop of Cotton Each year. There is enough lime and sulphuric acid to last over four thousand years; enough potash to last two thou five hundred and ninety-five years; enough chlorine to last nine hundred and forty-three years, and enough phos phoric acid to last four hundred and sixty-five years; so that you perceive at once that it is like hauling coal to New Castle to apply most of these substances to our soils, when by lying fallow, weathering and proper rotation of crops they can all be made available in suffi cient quantities, except the last. When a soil is worn out, it is not from the ex haustion of its mineral substances, but simply its available nitrogen and phos phoric acid. Take any old field in Geor gia which has ceased to yield remunera tive crops, and make aa analysis of the soil and of the primitive forest hard by, and you will find but little difference in the amount of mineral elements. B. H. Loughbridge, of the Geological Depart ment, has recently made an analysis of two soils in Upper Georgia, one of them under cultivation one hundred years without fertilizers, and the other in the same locality never cultivated; in the surface soil the potash is as 0.947 to 0.347 per cent.; in the subsoil, 0.925 to 0.706 per cent.; showing that enough potash remains at the same rate of exhaustion for the crops of several centuries. We are not to understand, in asserting that phos phoric acid is the only mineral ingre dient needed as plant food, that other substances are never needed to be ap plied as fertilizers. On the contrary, lime, potash, soda, sulphuric and car bonic acids are all very useful under certain circumstances, but harmful un der others. Here come in the demon strations of science again. They are needed not as food for plants, but to prepare food for plants. Lime devel ops ammonia from soils abounding in humus, but is ruinous to a soil which has but little organic matter. Caustic potash acts in the same way, while chloride of sodium (common salt) elimi nates ammonia from clay and hydrate of iron in soils, enabling plants to take it up, which would otherwise remain in the soil unappropriated to the growing crops. It also dissolves the insoluble phosphates of the soil, rendering them available to plants. This is peculiarly the office of carbonic and other acids in soils, as well as to break down the sili cates, eliminate potash and magnesia, and preparo them for the same use. Thus we perceive, under the benignant light of scieuoe, an educated agricul turist knows what he is about and is not led by blind empiricism to do many foolish and hurtful things. He applies his fertilizers with the same assurance of results that the chemist eliminates his gases or The great ia~ of iudncji^f u makes him fe<LJj(o r ' calculations as far cP the soience of agriculture has been' known and taught. But take the masses of the farmers in this country, oven the most enlightened of them, and how little do they know about the whys and wherefores of their own profession. How much valuable time and money is wasted because they know not how to save the immense amount of nitrogen evolved from their stables and their cotton seed heaps.— How much is lost in the purchase and application of substances which are often not worth the freight paid upon them ? What farmer is there in the country who knows when he purchases a fertilizer what it is or what it ought to be ? A hundred similar questions could be asked and answered in the same way in reference to the application of the most important principles of science applied to practical agriculture. The young men taught in institutions like this will know these principles and go out to teach them to others until the whole land is blessed with the light of science. But this Work will Necessarily he Gradual. Thus while we have recently demon strated on the farm by eleven different experiments, that a certain amount of ammonia and phosphoric acid applied in certain farms to cotton, paid an in terest on investment, the first year of 292 per cent., the cotton being sold at 13 cents; and the residue the second year 658 per cent., and, for both years, for every dollar laid out in the purchase of the chemicals, we realized $9 48; and although this has been pub lished and read by hundreds of intelli gent farmers, how few will undertake to carry it into practice ? We will have to look to another race of farmers, especi ally to that class educated in these halls, to make much progress in the scien tific details of progressive farm ing. By way of making the thing more practical we proved to a. de monstration that the man who would properly use and apply such a class of pure fertilizers, meeting with the same seasons and contingencies of culture that wo did, could pay for the fertilizers and make cotton for the two years in cluded iu the experiments at five cents and eight mills per pound, while it would cost the man who would cultivate the same land with the same labor, without the fertilizers, twelve cents per pound. We might have doubted ourselves if there had been but one experiment; but therp were eleven, and we have tried it two year# and are now trying it the third. If some Yankee book vendor was to come to Georgia and propose to sell a pamphlet for five dollars per copy that would tell them how to double their crops with the same labor the thing would be published in all the papers, and the whole country would be agog to try the experiment. Such a thing has actually occurred, and proved to be a humbug. But when a scientific demonstration is made at the experimental farm people take hold of it very cautiously. I am glad they do. It will be apt to last all the longer. This remarkable result was mainly due to the effect of the residue of fertilizers left in the soil frofcn the first year's application. The truth was demonstrated practically, which had be fore been announced by Liebig, that clay soils hold phosphoric acid tena ciously for all time, and will not release it, even when in an available form, only to the roots of plants. We left the beds as little disturbed as we could, so that the old roots and the residue might re main as much concentrated as possible. By this meausjthe little fibres will decay and their nitrogen be converted into ammonia, which, with the phosphoric acid already in the bed, will preset the very aliment needed by the plant. It has been demonstrated in Germany vey recently that 136 lbs. of nitrogen is lefi in the stubble aud roots of lncerne, per acre, to the depth of 10| inches; while red clover leaves, 191 lbs. Wheat, which is a nitrogen destroying plant, yields 23} lbs. I have no donbt that cotton will leave largely more than this, and intend to demonstrate the fact the present season by actual experiment. Thus you perceive on our worn soils the plan of undertaking to mannre the whole land, as in Europe, will not pay in this country ; that we must fertilize the plant rather than the soil, as we can make more with a much less outlay of labor and of money than to adopt the stereotyped notions of the old country. Bat it has also been demonstrated that another element has been exhausted from our soils, which it is • necessary also to fnrnish to them in some way before remunerative crops can be made. This is not a mineral element, however, bnt an organic ele ment, and yet it must be furnished to the soil as it ia only taken up by the roots of plants. We, of coarse, refer to nitrogen. This may be applied either in the form of ammonia, or organic nitro gen as it exists in cotton seed, animal dnst, Ac., in the form of albuminoids, or as nitric acid in the form of the ni trates. We have clearly estalished by a number of undoubted experiments, that although the chemists put the nitrates forward as the most valuable, that it is the least so, and that a cotton planter can afford to give 50 cents a pound for nitrogen in the form of animal matter, ■ rather than give thirty-five for it as' m, trate of potash or nitrate of soda. The simple reason is, that in %wer pots of sand, the nitrates being better prepared for good, act at once without having to undergo transformatioh, while in a soil the albuminoids have to undergo a rapid putrefactive decay, and in its decompo sition it gets np heat and forms other chqprical combinations, as carbonic acid and water, as well as ammonia; ail of which act as solvents in a poor soil and help to make it richer. In a flower pot of sand it has no material to act npon as in the soil, and hence it cannot ac complish as much. * * * * But we have clearly proven the value of organic matter—humus, if you please—so that It Cannot Admit of a Doubt In any unprejudiced mind. Chemists contend that, because plants can be fully developed in chemical solutions without organic matter, it is of no bene fit t.o crops in.a soil. Not one of them, however, ever made another inference (quite as legitimate) that because plants could be grown in chemical solutions, in water, without soils, ergo soils were not necessary to produce crops. We demonstrated last year that 1,016 pounds of cotton could be raised per acre*by the application of 200 pounds of green weeds, applied in that condition to a row seventy yards long, while the ashes, containing all the chemicals (so called) without the organic matter pro duced only 650 pounds, the natural soil 587 pounds. This was owing to the ni trogen of the weeds, made available by being converted into ammonia by rapid decomposition. We have also demon strated in other field experiments, aud in flower pots, as Professor Storer, of the Bussy Institute, lias recently done, that humus absorbs and snpplies to plants much of the nitrogedupon which they feed. * * * * Problems to be Demonstrated. But there are great problems still to be worked out, a few of which we will glance at before we close. We have just seen that Boussingault found 1,044 pounds of nitrogen iu a garden soil. Kro ker obtained enough from a barren sand to produce one hundred crops, and in twenty-two soils he found on au aver age from five hundred to one thousand times more of nitrogen than was neces sary for a crop. Now as to how this nitrogen can be converted most cheaply into ammonia and nitric acid, and saved in the soil as plant food, is one of the problems. Another is to convert insol uble phosphates, both in the soil and out, into available and soluble forms, and by such cheap process as will ad mit of universal application. I firmly believe that we have under experiment methods that will result in incalculable advantage to the farming ihterest on this subject. We shall reserve the de tails of these experiments until the thing is clearly established beyond doubt or cavil. A thousand and one questions of great interest are constant ly springing up, in reference to the best processes to save, apply and combine cotton seed and stable manure. Al ready great advances have been made, but much remains to be found out by the most careful and patient investiga tion, both in the field and in the labora tory. Each years adds to our stock, of knowledge, and may we not hope that much will be accomplished in our own day, and by this institution, for the solving of these great problems of scientific agriculture ? extracts prom a history op THE CAMPAIGNS OP THE THIRD GEORGIA REGIMENT. I By Capt. C. H. Andrews—lß6l, 1862- Chapter First—Organization, The State of Georgia, in convention assembled, having passed an ordinance of secession from the Government of the “United States of North America,” on the 19th day of January, A. D., 1861, and the Government of the Confederate States; (siaveholding States) formed, it became necessary to raise an army to resist the policy of coercion determined upon by the Government of the “United States.” New volunteer organizations of militia were formed, aud equipped in the State of Georgia, and, with companies that had existed for years, tendered their services to the Governor of the State. The tender was accepted, and they were called into service for (12) twelve months, upon requisitions for troops, made by the Confederate States Secretary of War. In compliance with a requisition of the Secretary of War (April 22, 1861), 'iiplih<4^orgiiC'A r two regiments of in-,i fantry. Gov. on 23d of April, 1861, ordered intff "sfitvice the following ten companies, to corhpose the Third Georgia Regiment of Volun teers: 1. Athens Guards, Captain H. 0. Bil lups, Clarke county; 2. Brown Rifles, Captain R. B. Nisbit, Putnam county” 3. Blodgett Volunteers, Captain F. Blodgett, Richmond county; 4. Burke Guards, Captain W. C. Musgrove, Burke county; 5. Confederate Light Guards, Captain E. J. Walker, Richmond coun ty; 6. Dawson Grays,'.Captain R. L. Mc- Whorter, Greene county; 7. Governor’s Guards, Captain J. R. Griffin, Houston county; 8. Home Guards, Captain J. S. Reid, Morgan county; 9. Wilkinson Rifles, Captain W. O. Beall, Wilkinson ; county; 10. Young Guards, Captain A. H. Lee, Newton county. The Governor ordered them “to rendezvous at Augusta, Ga., to be fully equipped, then to proceed by railroad to Richmond, Va., under command of the senior captain present, then organ ize by the election of field officers. “The first company that reached Augusta, Ga., of this regiment from a distance was the' Home Guards, frojn Morgan county, on the 26th April. , It was es corted to quarters at the Waynesboro Depot, by the volunteer companies of the city. As rapidly as the companies composing the regiment arrived at Augusta, and were equipped, they were mustered into the Confederate States service by Capt. R. G. Cole (late of the Eichth Infantry U. S. Army), ,for (12) twelve months, and started for Rich mond. On the 2d of May the Burke Guards and the Home Guards took the cars on the South Carolina Railroad,and reached Petersburg,Va., on the.morn ing of the 4th, where orders awaited them to proceed to Norfolk, *which place they reached at 11 o’clock that night. On the morning of the 6th they were as signed to quarters iu the Gosport Navy Yard. On the Bth of May the regiment elect ed field officers. Ambrose R. Wright, a private of the Confederate Light Guards, was elected Colonel; James S. Reid, Captain of Home Guards, was elected Lieutenant-Colonel,and A. H. Lee, Cap tain of Young Guards, was elected Major. In consequence of the promotion of Captains Reid and Lee, First Lieuten ant C. H. Andrews (Home Guards) was elected Captain of that company, and First Lieutenant J. F. Jones was elect- Captain of the Young Guards. The roster of the regiment, as now organized, was as follows; Field—A. R. Wright, Colonel; J. S. Reid, Lieutenant Colonel; A. H. Lee, Major. Staff—W. W. Turner, Cos. B, Ist and Adjutant; W. O’Brian, Cos. B, Sergeant Major; Alex. Philip, Cos. G, Captain and Assistant Quartermaster; R. A. Stanley, Cos. F, Quartermaster Sergeant ; H. S. Hughes, Cos. K, Captain and Assistant C.

The following is a roll of the regi ment, as first mastered into the Confed erate States army (which is omitted be cause of its length in this extract.) The Department of Norfolk was first under the command of Brigadier-Gen eral Gwynn. In a short time he was re lieved, and Brigadier-General Benjamin Huger assnmed command, with head quarters at Norfolk. Gen. Huger was a native of South Carolina, graduated at West Point in 1825, was a Major in the Ordnance Department, United States Army, and held the rank of Bievet-Colo nel at the time of his resignation, 22d April, 1861. He was highly esteemed in the old army, for his ability in his arm of the service as well as for his genial qualities as a gentleJhan of the old school. The Third Georgia Regi ment was attached to the Third Brigade in the Department, commanded by Col. A. G. Blanchard, the Commander of the First Louisiana Regiment, who was afterwards appointed Brigadier General, with headquarters at Portsmouth. Gen. Blanchard was a graduate of West Point, in the class of 1829, but after the war with Mexico retired from service, to enter it again, as a volunteer, in April, 1861. His name is mentioned for con spicuous gallantry in official reports, at the storming of the Bishop’s Palace, Monterey, in the war with Mexico. The camp of the Third Georgia Regiment was established just outside of the Navy Yard walls, and called for Gen. Gwynn; from which camp were written tender words of affection to loved .ones at home, mingled with regrets at the ne cessity of such a war, but buoyant with hope, for the struggle being for the preservation of constitutional represen tative government, the idea of failure never entered the mind of the Southern soldier. In that camp—the regiments first upon “ tented field”—many pleas ing incidents occurred, and are still re membered, and are repeated, and will be repeated to children’s children. Many hardships were endured, which are sadly recalled, but made dim to the survivors by the lapse of many years and their great distance in the past. PREADAMITE RACES. Editors Chronicle and Sentinel: The question of a plurality of races is of interest to Americans not so much as a matter of speculation as for its practi cal bearing. The long ages during which America was kept, as it were, concealed; its discovery just before the seism of Luther; the meeting on its shores of all the races of men; the de velopment of new principles of govern ment; the declaration that the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness was the birthright of humanity; the doctrine of political equality ’to be maintained by the exercise of universal suffrage and the prevailing inclination of a strong party to force upon the higher race so cial amalgamation with the iuferior; in fact,-the absolute denial of any such in feriority, and the evident disposition of a portion of our people to repudiate the Bible and the church as instrumentali ties no longer required for popular regu lation, authorizes tho supposition that in our hands will lie the solution of one of the problems of human progress, and that it is our duty to investigate it thoroughly, if we are to co-operate with the Divine Ruler in working out our own national and personal salvation. The creed of the Christian, reduced to the form of a philosophical conception, may be thus expressed, viz: God is a spirit of supreme wisdom, power and goodness, who created the world by a process of gradation, the object- of which is to bring into being creatures, who by faith in His Word, obedience thereto, and by good works consequent, shall be fitted for an eighth “day” of immortality with a promised Messiah. To prepare us for this state the human race undergoes “tribulation,” that the moral wheat may be separated from the chaff which unfits it for the master’s barn —and is tried as gold is tried in the fire, before it is fitted for the sovereign’s stamp. It moreover holds that the first Adam, the created father of the race, fell, but that the race itself was con tinued in Seth, the God engendered or God given seed from whioh, through a pure race, should come the God man, and that to this race of Seth is assign ed the task of replenishing and subdu ing the earth, till it shall be prepared for the millenial reign of the son of God himself in person. Now to prepare the way for this favored race, it is held, was the object of every step, from the for mation of the infusora of the princial seas, through fishes, birds, creeping things, mammals, preadamite man, up to the destruction of the world by water, and that since the Deluge the whole of onr history exhibits but a grand drama, which we are allowed to play that we may learn the vanity of rejecting the sovereignty of God, and substituting therefor a faith in the sufficiency of hu man wisdom and virture to our salva .tion. When we realize the error of this 'nation, and laying aside our idols, show ; a willingness to return to the rock whence we are hewn, then and not before Will the stone hewn without hands swell into a mountain, and righteenfsnjss coyer the eartli as the theimaT 1 INow, how can wfl-yStioncile with this pflan instead of allowing siii men an equal chance to sink or swim bjy the exercise of equal powers, God r snould have interfered miraculously to reduce some of the families, by a short process, to the state of the bnshmen—the liotteatbt, and the guinea negro in Afri ca to the condition of the Papuan and Australian in Australasia, of, the Digger Indian, Pattigonian and Commanehee i America—*while in Asia, he ar resss (he Mongol race and chrystalizes it "into semi-civilized, unprogressive bodies, which constitute nearly one half rtf the human race, and sets apart the Caucassian —who alone preserves the color of the adamite, the florid man—to be the depository of the power and knowledge necessary to carry out the great design ? Is it not far more ration al to suppose that there were many races created to occupy the earth, and that the children of Shem, Ham and Japhet, of the pure Adamic race, were set apart to replenish and subdue it ? That they have been so far the dispensers of what light we have is a historic fact, while the doom of Canaan, “servant of ser vants shall he be,” may be explained by reference to the meaning of the name. “Canaan” means “Merchant,” trader “who humbles and subdues,” and it cannot be denied that commerce, whose first gre.at movers were Canaanites is to our. own day the great civilizer, which draws together the families of men, and even none instigates to the humbling and subduing of nations or tribes that oppose the Japhetan mission to “dwell in the tents of Shem and have Canaan for his servant.” Of this we have a re markable instance in the present opera tions of England, who is preparing to subdue the descendants of the man Canaan through the use of her traders, backed by the military force of the chil dren of Ham, the Egyptians and light colored races of the Central Africa, af ter having by her machinations crippled the forces of a rival commercial nation by the freeing of the negro, whose con trolable labor formed the basis of their industrial edifice. Well did my old grandmother say, long before the aboli tion of slawary, that the United States were doomed to be the worst failure the world ever saw, because they would shut their eyes to the teachings of the Bible! To understand the steps by which the great design of human regeneration is to be accomplished may not be within the reach of onr present mental powers, but some of them are visible in the re mains of the instrumentalities employed by the Divine Architect. Rocks formed by the deposition of the shells of dead infusors and the remains of other or ganisms precipitated to the bottom of seas which rolled in ages inconceivably remote have been broken np and mixed till fitted for the production of soils bearing the food of animals. These animals, kept down by canivora, and these by the hunter race (whose rude instrum-, nts of warfare and the chase are buried deep under the remains of animals which they hunted and which ceased to exist long ages before the ap pearance of the Adamic race) till further admixture of soils permitted the growth of grain fit for the support of au agri cultural community. Cattle, oxen and horses supplied to make agriculture possible without too toilsome labor and a general arrangement of things which rendered intellectual pursuits feasible, shows a gradual development of means to an end, which is unmistakable. But did the gradation cease here f While the mule and the horse were given suffi cient intelligence to serve as moveable physical forces te operate on nature, was it designed that the intellectual Japhe tan race, though doomed to subdue the earth by the sweat of their brow should supply the whole of that rough and ab sorbing labor which is purely prepara tory and unintellectual, so that at its fullest development the larger part of it must be at menial service altogether in consistent with all ideas of personal dignity and elevation, or was the im mense gap between the mule and the man of high race filled by an intermediate organization combining ' the power to bear toil and sufficient mental force to be directed by reason, with a submis sive and patient spirit which would not render subordination to the superior race a curse, but rather a blessing and a reward ? That servitude was not always, either one or the other, to the negro, does not weaken the probability of the idea that he was created to fill this vaeuum in the divine plan, since we all now acknowledge that it is deranged by man’s rebellion. But was not this re bellion also shewn in this very act of ne gro emancipation, when we recollect that its originators repudiated the Scrip tures and called for “an anti-slavery God and an anti-slavery Bible ?” It certain ly was, as surely as the same sentiment, running back to the examination of the question of a subordination of races on scientific grounds gave rise to a convic tion that the negro existed long before Adam, and that therefore if the idea of a common descent was to be adhered to its origin must be found far back in the dim ages, when the antropophoid ape was the highest type of living animals ! But such is the natural effect of all at tempts to substitute man’s ideas of right for the teaching of Law and Gos pel, and yet when we consider how grad ual is the rise from the lowest of the sn tropophoid races to the gorilla, and from the gorilla to the bushmen, the Hotten tot and the negro of the Gamboon river and the coast of Guinea, from which I most of the ancestors of the American negro were taken, we are obliged to say that the scientist who rejects the Mosaic record and refuses to accept the doctrine of special creations is logically com pelled to find the origin of the human race, in “some animal of the ape species whose habits were arboreal.” Now which is the more philanthropic and philosophic doctrine—this or that which assigns to the negro the place not of the connecting link between man and monkey, but of a step in the gradation of races, far above the mere animal, in which and in which only he can fulfill his mission to aid in producing and then in enjoying the result of the world’s labor divinely arranged and di vided to each his appropriate share? That such arrangement and divisions exists may be easily understood and ad mitted by any unprejudiced observer who has seen the impatience of the poorer classes of America, writhing under the restraints of their poverty, with the phantasm of equality in their dreams; who has been among the sub dued and humble peasantry of Europe, longiug for a fairer state of things al most against hope, and then living in the Southern States of America, and contrasting with both the state of things in the well regulated families of the slaveholders. Such a one would readi ly believe the story told of liuskin, who refused to be introduced to Adams as the representative of a government which had destroyed the best social or ganization that the world ever saw; es pecially if in a position to compare the present state of the retrograding freed man with the former contented Blave. How many an emancipated negro has felt and said to Northern men since the war, “I never was a slave until made free by you." The next generation will probably see the effects of this tendency to retrocession (since the present adult race of negroes have not yet lost the habits acquired in slavery) in the state of the young negroes of this day who are generally becoming more and more in different to the attractions of education, and equally appreciative of the delights of idleness, night gambling, license and loaferism generally. That this tendency to sink is a race- characteristic, appears to boas unde niable from the history of the world as that repose is that of the Shemite, and activity and progress that of the Japhetan. That it is not characteristic of the descendants of Ham, may be as serted, since the Egyptians, Phoene cians and Carthegenians were remarkbly active and intelligent, and only suc oumbed after a long struggle to brute force. But if descended from neither Shem, Japliet or Ham —whence comes the negro? The answer is from the Preadamite—the sixth-day man of Genesis, the man of the “stone age” of the geologist. Again, the doctrine of a community of origin for the negro and white man, involves a descent for him so rapid that if the Mosaic chronolgy be correct the moral, mental, social and physical change, including the anatomi cal difference and alteration of color, must have been effected in little more than eight hundred years, a supposition not readily to be received by one who has observed how little effect a resi dence of two hundred years has had on the negroes imported into Maryland or even into Rhode Island. Such a change would be miraculous, and would render the doctrine of Anxximander as to the origin of man from a mixture of earth and water, heated by the rays of the sun, quite as acceptable to the common mind as that whioh compels the creator so constantly to Resort to extraordinary shifts to alter his works to meet unfore seen complications. But the doctrine of Preadamite races also involves difficulties for the Mosaic account; first, as to the time that the Adamic race has been on the earth, and, secondly, as to the length of the days of creation. About the first I can say nothing new, but about the second I have an idea which I believe has never been put forth, and which I think valu able as settling the meaning of a hereto fore undecided and very important point of controversy. The Hebrew text fixes the creation of Adam before Christ about fliqr thou sand years and the Deljftge sVWet’E-O’h’fcy'-' four centuries....- stow the Egyptian monuments.rafe generally believed to have beeja-’built soon after the Deluge, -‘trtr&'tEe earliest, of them, the Pyramid of Cheops, contains certain arohitectual features which constitute it an astro nomical monument so remarkable as to cause it to be thought a divine inspira tion intended to confirm the Mosaic ac count and convey to us knowledge with regard to the earth and heaven to which we have but recently attained through our improved science. In the succeed- ' ing pyramids the negro is unmistakably delineated with such characteristics as show him to have been then the same that he is now, so that originally a son of Noah’s son he must have been the product of a beastly union, or have been changed from what he was as one of the pure race into the negro of the pyramid in about eight hundred years. As the first he comes under the curse of Canaan nud is unfit to associate with man as a beast, and as the last, he is one whose characteristics mark him as too slow of progress to join in the gov ernment of the superior raee, while as one of another nature, another kind of man, as Ifn certainly appears to be to thosq-who know him best, the utmost stretch of charity would require us to give him a separate domain in which to develop to the full, untrammelled by the white, but under the protection of white government and within the in fluence of the example of white civiliza tion. In any case he is out of his place as the political associate of the white and more markedly as occupying the box of the juror or of th,e judge, while in his present stage of development and civilization, wh'ere as, with his own territory, social organi zation, schools, churches, government and policy, without any white man to molest him or make him afraid he may exercise the right of self-government through the ballot box, accumulate property, and, under the protection of the United States, as an independent citizen of an allied power, make himself a habitation and a name whenever sub ordination in a white State became irk some to him. Such an arrangement would make the negro really free, t the same time that it would remove all dan ger of discord between races divided by an ineradicable color line, when dema gogues or hostile agents should, as they certainly will, saise questions involving the interest or prejudices of race. Lo cations for such States might be found in Florida—on the Gulf shore of Lou isiana, where the productions of nature are abundant, with little cultivation, or in New Mexico, where irrigation and mining would yield wealth to those who had the energy and skill to resort to them, and the dormant energies of the Afrioan be forced into action should he be disposed to neglect the suggestion of St. Paul, “If- any one will not work neither let him eat.” The length of the demiengic day will be examined in my next, and some other points of accord of the Mosaic text with science tonohed upon. R. W. H. THE MINING IV AB. Prospective Clo-e of the Miners’ Strike—A Net Loss of $10,000,000. New Yoke, June 7.—A dispatch from Pottsvilie says : It is the general belief among the coal operators and other well informed citizens that the miners’ strike will end within a tortnight at farthest, and probably not outlast the present week. The final surrender of men will not be simultaneous, but one colliery after another will find enough ready to abandon the Union to begin operations. To protect themthe assistance of troops will be needed until the strike is definit ely abandoned. The loss to Schuylkill county alone, from five months’ snspen-. sion of all mining operations, is estimat ed at ten millions, of which sum the men lose five millions in wages. If they should carry their point they could not make up this loss by the difference be tween the old and the proposed new wages in four years. The National Sportsman’s Association re-assembled in Cleveland yesterday. Delegates were present from eighteen States, THE RAID ON THE BALLOTS. Gov. Chamberlain’s Answer to the Blackville Memorial. Governor Chamberlain has sent the following answer to the memorial of cit izens of Blafkville published a few days since: i May 31, 1875. M. F. Molony, Esq., and others, Black ville, S. C.: Gentlemen—l have received from you a document in which you recite the cir cumstances attending the recent disap pearance of the evidence of the result of the late election in your county, and in which you request of me my official condemnation of the act, and the adop tion of means and the offering of re wards to bring the criminals to justice. If any one in Barnwell oounty or else where has done any act impairing, or tending to impair, the rights of the peo ple as involved in the late eleotioD, or in the events which preceded or follow ed that election, such an act has my personal and official condemnation and abhorence. Such acts are blows, not only at our form of government, but at the rights themselves which government is established to secure. But of this it is almost superfluous to speak, because no man will dare dispute the proposi tion. The practical point is presented when you suggest the adoption by me of means and the offering of rewards for the punishment of .those who have thus wronged the people. These duties, permit me to say in kindness, belong, in my judgment, primarily, if not wholly, to the good people of Barnwell county, i rather than to the Executive or to the State at large. I am not aware that any facility for the detection or punishment of crime, ordi narily enjoyed in this State, is wanting in your county. Your Trial Justices arp believed to be efficient, your citizens are intelligent, your lawyers are able, and your Judge is one in whom all have perfect‘confidence. The offense is one, which, while it nffects to some extent the whole State, peculiarly and especially affects Barnwell.county. In addition to this, I have not a dollar at my disposal which can be used for the payment of rewards for detecting the authors of this crime, and I am not willing to offer a reward which I canuot pay. The prac tical as well as the right thing to bo done is for the good people of your oounty to arouse themselves to the duty of discovering and punishing those who may be involved in this offense, and to enforce the laws through the peaceful agencies of the laws. If the people so determine, the work will be done, and I see no other way in which it can be done. My duty will be to see that the results of the efforts of your people and your county are not nullified by any action of mine—a duty which is more onerous and difficult than you probably imagine—but if the people of Barnwell oounty will do their duty, I will do mine, and then the laws will be administered, crime punish ed, and the rights ef all secured. With great respect, your obedient ser vant, D. H. Chamberlain, Governor of South Carolina. Over the door of the office of the Gov ernor of Connecticut is inscribed “Gov ernors Room.” The painter having omitted the possessive apostrophe, he is growled at by the Hartford Host, and charged with opening the room to all Governors. The Post doesn’t seem to realize that there are many worse men than that painter. A man who would leave out an apostrophe once in a while would be looked upon as an aDgel in some of the printing offices of the West, where it is often held by one or two of the most muscular compositors that all words ending with the letter “s” should have an apostrophe in them somewhere. The negro murderer, Reecl, who was dropped from the Nashville suspension bridge by a cowardly and blood-thirsty mob, is said to be alive. The same thing was said of Barmore, “the man in velvet,” who undertook to investigate the Ku-Klux, but when the corpse ar rived in Nashville, public opinion changed. Barmore was seen half a dozen times alive after he was dead, but his funeral took place just the same as if nobody had contradicted the report of his death.
