Odd Fellow*’ Aimlrmury.
Ou Monday night tho Odd Fellows, in
this city, celebrated at their Lodge tho
FRty-Slxtli Anniversary of that Order In
the United States.
The elegant hall was ulmost filled with
a fine audience, and tho whole proceedings
recelv<*d marked attention.
Professor Chase performed on the organ
and good music wo 3 rondered by tho
choirs In the city.
The exorcises were opened by a few ap
propriate remarks from Mr. W. B. Hurris,
a distinguished member of tho order. He
spoke of the importance of tho occasion
and the many pleasant circumstances con
noted therewith. It was unfortunate that
it fell upon tho Twenty-Sixth of April, a
day sot apart as a memorial to the dead.
After prayer and singing, Mr. Hurris In
troduced Rev. It. J. Corley, pastor ot St.
Luke Church, who had been chosen as or
ator of the occasion.
Mr. Corley delivered u line oration,
which was listened to with pleasure and
profit by all present. His theme was,
j “Odd Fellowship, and tho benefits It be-
I stows upon all connected with it.” He
traced its history from its origin down to
Its present flourishing condition. He
spoke of the terrible opposition it encoun
tered on all sides, at first; how obstacles
were gradually overcome, and a career of
prosperity begun.
The beautiful care which the Order as
sumes over the widows and orphans of
those who were once in its ranks, was por
trayed with force and clearness. The
speaker alluded to the many erroneous
opinions os to the nature and objects of
Odd Fellowship. Tiie idea that it is a sec
tarian institution is grossly false. It rests
upon tho Bible os its foundation; but it In
terferes with no religious creed. It does
not control tlie choice of religious faith, or j
at all clash with private views or consci
entious scruples. All religious creeds or
privato beliefs wore freely admitted. The
Order was not religious In its nature.
The orator then spoke of the necessity of
a deeper work for man's salvation. Odd
Fellowship can do much to bettor his tem
poral condition, but a stronger power must
Ut him for tlie future. •
The address was concluded with a fer
vent appeal to ull to seek this deeper work,
without, which the hereafter is dark and
desolate.
Wo regret that we have not time nor
space in this Issue to give a full analysis !
of this able oration. We would bo glad if
we had an opportunity to publish It in full.'
It contained many sentiments worthy of j
perpetuation.
The oration was very happy in its of
focts. It seemed to please all who heard
it. Tho large audience was dismissed, and
all present went away highly entertained,!
and feeling no small interest in the Order
whose anniversary they had just attended.

There are doubtless other names omit

ter, they will be inserted in tlie next roll.
The ladies propose having two rolls—one
containing tho names of all Confederate
soldiers who fell In battle or died during
the war, and another containing the names
of all Confederate soldiers who have died
since. This is the only way we can preserve
the roll of Confederate soldiers, as we have
no pensiou officers, or national officers, to
preserve their names. The noble women
of tho South have undertaken the task, and
they will porpetnnte.thelr names.
I TENTH MEMORIAL DAY.
Speech of Hon, Thos. Hardeman, Jr,
|Opera Douse Crowded!!
I
-- . !
i>i:< oit\Tio\ of laiivix!
’
Monday was the National holiday of the
tho South. For the first time since the
war, has the day been made a National
holiday by law, and, as a consequence, all
business in mercantile quarters was sus
pended, and by twelve o’clock the store
houses of our merchants were closed as n
mark of respect to our noble dead. This
tenth Memorial Day was grand with the
recollections of Southern chivalry—but
sad in tho performance of sacred duty.
So long as the “grand round” of Time
shall continue to bring unto a sorrowing
and downtrodden people the Twenty-Sixth
of April, so long will the memory of the
bravo Confederate fallen live in every true
Southern heart.
AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
Though the speaking was announced to j
commence at three o’clock, by two o’clock j
every seat in the opera house was taken, i
and in a few moments there was not even 1
standing room in the house. Hundreds of
people were unable to gain admission, and j
were forced to be content with going to!
tho cemetery.
In the Opera House tiie ceremonies lx‘-
gan by music contributed by members ol |
the city choirs. Hardly had the military
and committee of citizens passed through j
the crowded audience to the stage, ere was j
heard the sad, plaintive notes of the “Fu
neral March, from Beethoven's 12th Sona
| ta.” A breathless stillness succeeded until
j the choir of sweet voices sang Rossini’s
j “Charity,” ending with the second solo
“When ou earth thy reign whall prevail
War’s angry call ahall no longer avail,
Ambition and auger then Khali fall.
Thy gentle power shall conquer all.”
j Then followed the “Prayer, from Ros
sini’s Moses in Egypt,” -touchingly ren
! dered.
! The “Veni Creator” concluded the music,
| and each heart sannind attuned to the
words:
| "Come Holy gpirit, Heavenly Dove.
With all thy quickening power*.
Kindle a flame of Hat red love
In theae cold hearts of our*.''
j "We have never seen an audience more
| sympathetic with the solemnity of this
j scene and the subsequent ceremonies.
That loved old veteran. Gen. Henning, in
j t reduced the orator, immediately after the
| brief but eloquently appropriate prayer of
Rev. J. R. Corley.
The speech delivered by lion. Thomas
Hardeman, of Macon, was replete with el
oquent gems of thought, and will be found j
in another column. Its accents w ill touch
into renewed life the findings and actions j
of other days-- “There Is life in the old land !
yet.”
Rev. C. A. Kendrick delivered the bene
diction. It is useless to add ho did it- well.
No scene; no ceremony can be more
purifying in its effects, or ennobling to the
minds of the younger generation than this
impresssive and, as Gen, Benning dei
serlbed it, “sad, sad, very sad occasion.”
AFTER THE SPEAKING.
After the ceremonies in the Opera House
tho large crowd proceeded to the, cemete
ry. The military, the police, and a large
number of civilians on foot and in vehicles
formed in front of tho Opera House, under
command of Col. W. S. Shepherd, assist**!
by Col. W. A. Barden, Maj. A. M. Alien, and
Chas. H. Williams, Esq. The column then
marched to the cemetery. At Slade's
school house they were joined by the He
brew Sabbath School, under command of
their Rabbi, Mr. Bonhoim, and their Su
perintendent, Mr. Newman. Shortly after
wards the line was increased by the Or
phan Asylum School. These two are the ;
only Sunday schools that Joined the pro
cession, t hough all were invited.
AT THE CEMETERY.
When the column reached the cemetery
t hey were greeted by tho largest 'crowd
that we have over seen on such an occa
sion. The cemetery was crowded .with a
living mass, while th** grounds outside
wore covered with carriages, buggies and
wagons. Tho column halted In front of
the cemetery for a few moments, and the
procession was dismissed. The military,
composed of the Columbus Guard® and
City Light Guards, moved in a body to the
lower soldiers’ graves, where the shaft of
; the City Lights Is planted. Here the City
Lights broke ranks and decorated their
j shaft. ® soon as they were again in
j ranks both companion fired a volley. Both
companies then proceeded to the grave
j of Mrs. Charles J. Williams, where they
halted and stackivi arms. The companies
then tired into tho enclosure, and each
member deposited upon her grave a sprig
of cedar, ns a recognition of her devotion
to the soldiers and our cause, and of her
authorship of the 26th of April as a me
morial occasion. After this touching tri
bute tho companies were again forme* 1
and marched to the Columbus Guards’
shaft, which was decorated by t hat com
pany, and a salute fin'd.
The companies then dispersed for
twenty minutes, at tho end of which time
they were marched into the city.
other items.
I The police force decorated the graves of
members of their body who died in the
last few years. In a body they repaired
to the graves of their chief. Marshal
Murphy, Capt. Barrow, and officers Mor
ris and Harris.
Not a soldier’s grave was neglected,
j Each one had a floral offering upon it.
j placed there by woman’s hand. Home of
the graves were profusely decorated.
The grave of Mrs. Williams was crowd
ed with flowers, for independent of the
sprigs placed on it by the military, hun
dreds of citizens, men, women and chil
dren, found their way into the enclosure
and deposited their floral offerings upon
her grave.
The ladies of the Memorial Association
place a box for voluntary contributions at
the cemetery gate, and had for sale lem
onade. Wc learn they realized from the
two a considerable sum, which will go to
ward the •‘ompletion of the proposed
monument.
Time and space will not permit us to
speak of all that was done on this oeca
jsiou; yet, we cannot fail to mention the
! noble conduct of our glorious women in
; having aroanged everything in detail.
There are a few Confederate soldiers in
our community who might learn a lesson
in patriotism from our women. We are
proud to say there arc but few renegades
from <H>r ranks, but of course there are
some on all occasions. To those very few
men (formerly Confederate) who sneer at
The Cause, we would refer them to the
enthusiasm manifested Monday us a posi
tive refutation of thler slander and n
monument to their perfidy.
SPEECH OF TIK*. HARDEMAN.
Tho tragedy of war is ended. The
bloody drama of revolution has no actors
now, for they have boon scattered, as the
' clouds, when the whirlwind drives them
to their tempest home. The God of Battle
is sloeping ou the lap of Peace, while the
genius of Christian civilization nervously
watches his restless slumbers. With his
deeds are associated many heart-stirring
recollections and mournful memories. I<>
I recount them belongs ta tho historian nr
I tho future, who, unbiased by the grandeur
j of military success, will speak in the un
varnished languagoof truth of a gallant
I people, who, in thou- struggle tot freedom,
I challenged the admiration of the world,
and in their sorrow and defeat command
ed a respect that will intensify in
warmth and feeling as tlie ages roll on;
poesy may sing in richest verse of the
•lays of knighthood and chivalry; hlstoiy
may write In eulogistic prose of the hero*
of Marathon and TheruiopyJie. but the
struggle for independence by Southern
soldiery will awake to living song the
h&rpoi the future. While tiie heroism of
our men and the patriotic devotion of our ;
women will fire the eloquence of the na
tions to come, as it rises and swells, with j
a theme luminous with the radiance of
true glory, sparkling with the beauty of j
unselfish patriotism and furnishing a gal
axy of characters—the impersonations of!
nature's nobility, the standards of human
excellence and perfection. A theme pure
as evening’s tears, glorious us morning
smiles, brilliant us the lightning’s Hash, j
grand as the thunder’s march, soft as the i
zephyr’s breath, majestic as the cyclone’s
sweep. I shrink from the theme to-day.
for I have no harp across wiiose strings J I
could throw a song worthy of the noble 1
living and tlm immortal dead, i have no j
skilled hand with which to weave garlands j
tor “tho bi<M*ding brows” of tho surviving
braves; no language sufficiently dyed in
the colors of eulogy to correctly paint the ,
lives and deaths of those noble men, who,
with their own swords, have carved for
themselves a, monument more lasting than
the polished shaft of the sculptor, or the
shining tablet of the artisan. This plcas-
I ing duty I entrust to others, and let wo-'
: man on this day, inaugurated by her pa
-1 triotlsm and her love, sj>eak of them in
language more appropriate than studied
oratory—the true language of flowers and
! of tears; the breathing eloquence of heart
! and soul. And how appropriate is the
! place for her to speak, here by the graves
! of the noble dead, and near tin* resting
! place of that lovely woman whoso active
i brain conceived,and whose patriotic heart
sanctioned the idea of a Memorial day f. li
the Confederate dead. Who in this lovely
presence, on this day dedicated to the past,
can withhold a tear from the memory ol
her who now among the angel dwells

That appear* a living Htar r
As long as the Southern heart beats true
to home and liberty,so long will her mem
ory lie green and fresh in the affections of
the people -“an alma tree” ever blooming
with flowers and ripening with fruit -for
her life was as pure as “streams of autumn
sunset.” as sweet as the echo of evening!
chillies, as beautiful a>* the bloom of angel ;
cheeks. She was not a banana shrub, with
holding its fragance until the sun had !
climbed high up the shining arch, nor a !

when kissed by the breath of night, but a ;
I (lowering catnpae, blooming in perpet ualj
beauty in tiie paradise of her own creation.,
Men of the South, weave for her to-day a ;
garland of choicest heart-flowers, while
her bright spirit, borne upon wings of
light from her shining home, hovers over
the scene, hallowing it with the soft Influ
ence of her loveliness, and cheering it with
I the sunlight of a heavenly apparition.:
And as h*r memory lives, so will tin* mom
! ory of the soldiers of her love, around 1
i whose names are w reathe i the (lowers of
! immortality. True, they have sunk be
neath the whv# of death, but they are not
forgotten, for as the bell of the ill-fated
Atlantic, wrecked upon the rocks of the
Island Sound, “swung by the heavy surges
of the sea,” tolled a requiem for her dead,
so will the bell of memory, swung by the
billows of ever rolling Time,
"Toll, toll, toll a requiem for our bra\es,
Who quietly are sleeping in their humble -olili* r
graves;
Toll for the gallant nun in fre-'l.,n 4 V ean.Be who

Yes, iny countrymen, the women of the
South, as patriotic in peace as they were
self-sacrificing in war, have resolvel that j
the waters of oblivion shall never efface;
t-ho foqtnrints of our heroes from the;
shores or a grateful remembrance. The
waves may roll and surge, the flood tide of j
forgetfulness may sweep away other us- 1
soeiations along the beach; but imprinted !
there, they will remain to mark for the i
ages the path that leads to a glorious iiu- j
mortality. Days come and go, year fol
lows year in rapid succession, but the
sacred fire of love kindled in woman’s
heart, when Sumpter’s warning gun was
heard burns undimmed, and, transmitted I
from mother true to daughter fair, in the !
days to be will shine with a lustre
—"forever unchangingly bright, |
Like the long, sunny lapse of a Himnm-i' day
light,
j Shining ou, Bhiniug on, by n-> shadow mad*'
tender.
Till Love liUlb asleep in iu nameuesK <>fnpleudor.” ;
True herself, woman loves the faithful j
and the good ; fearless in the right, she |
presses on when duty calls, regardless of i
danger and unchanged by the thought of i
death. How strikingly were these char- ■
acteristics developed in our late struggle
for independence. Did her country’call
for her sonsy She gave them to that
country with a mother's prayers and a
mother’s blessing; and when that country
lay bleeding and bold men hesitated, she
Deborah arose and uttered a song burn
ing with patriotic lire, brilliant in its
praise, yet terrible in its denunciations.
Did men prefer the ease of home to tho
hardships of tho field? Did they choose
rather the peace of invaded households
and desecrated altars than tho danger of
tiie battle strife for home and liberty?
She pealed forth the enquiry, blasting as
the lightning’s stroke, withering at. the
winter’s breath, “Why abidest thou
among the sheepfold to hear tlie bleating
of the flocks? Why does Gilead abide be
yond Jordan, and why does Dan remain
in his ship?” Or did true men go forward
to duty with a countenance radiant with
light as lovely as golden sunset and beam
ing with smiles as sweet as morning’s
blush. She exclaimed in language of
praise that fell upon the ear soft as the
voice of wooing dove, 'Zebulon and
Napthali are a people that jeopard
their lives unto the death in high
places of the field.” And over these
graves of Zebulon and of Napthali is heard
that song to-day, stealing over the senses,
“like the dying echo of sweet music gone,”
and that, song will roll on and on, until
dying away upon the harp of time, it will
be caught up by Angel choristers, who will
strike ft. in endless numbers upon the gold
en harps of the new Jerusalem. Marvel
not—admiring nations—at the heroism
of Southern soldiery- who had such wives
and mothers to encourage them with
their smiles and example. Greece, when
showing her jewels, pointed to her Spar
tan mothers, and Georgia, to-day, gazing
upon th*' starlit heavens of her glory,
I points, with an ever-increasing pride, to
ithat iuiikv-wnyof loveliness, which runs
through their length in a stream of trans
cendent beauty and brightness. Such
was the true woman of the South, in the
dark days of her trials; patriotic, self-sac
! rltleing, devoted, she spurned the prouipt
i iugs of selfish desire, and, fixing her eyes
j upon the Sun, which shone high up in the
heavens of patriotic duty, upon the wings
of a Christian faith, she soared above
clouds and tempest, nor did she stop her
flight., nutil she bathed her pinions in the
running stream of its “gushing glory.”
(taxing upon her, with enraptured admira
tion, as she soared higher and higher,
man caught the inspiration the tires of a
! holier patriotism burned in his bosom, the
impulses ol a nobler nature stirred his
j breast and with a resolution, born of the
skies, he followed her bidding, not reckon
j ing whether it. led to glory or the grave.
| How grand the vision! how glorious the
apparition. Weakness struggling with
; Power—Justice battlingfor right Liberty
i (confrontingoppression,Freedom wrestling
(with chains and slavery. “Thecombat
! deepens.” Now is heard the victorious
j shouts of Manassas and the Wilderness.
Then from Donelson and Gettysburg
j comes the cry of defeat, like the wail <>t
the tempest. Now with stately tread we
march on, our banners triumphantly flut
tering in the breeze. Then, overrun with
superior numbers, the bugle sounds a re
treat, and our brave men fail back with
slow and steady pace, as the storm god
retires before the advancing king of day.
Years roll on—years of carnage and of
blood. The flower of our army has fallen
—bruised, broken, crushed. Hope wraps
around her tho mantle of despair and nos
down to eternal sloop. Tho sun of South
ern independence has sot lu night, and
night without a star. The Southern cross
has disappeared from tho heavens, and
liberty lies bleeding at tho foot of power.

freedom” ; hard, hard Indeed was the
death seen# of Liberty. Buried in these
graves she sloops, yet not “unwept, un
honored or unsung,” for
"Sho sleep* with the muiahiiu* of Feme on her
HlumberM,”
and will sleep, until the Angel of tho fu
ture shall roll book tho scone and call her
again to freedom and to life. Sharers of
her fate, martyrs in her cause, “from pri
vate to chief, from hovel to princely hall,”
wo coiuo to your graves to-day to pay our
humble tribute to the memory of your
selves and your noble com patriots—
" Who fought for the Uml your soul* adored.
, For happy home*, for altar* free,
Your only tali*mac the *word.
Your only spelfiword liberty.*’
It is true no epitaph tells of your noble j
deeds, no marble shaft marks the spot l
where you sleep in death, yet history af
firms no country ever had “truer sons or |
bolder defenders.” And though your cause |
has porishe 1 and your South is crushed; |
though your banner is tattered and furled
and your comrades broken and scattered, |
vet in each true heart you have a shrine.:
For
"\\V care not wb* nee you : can* .
Dear ia your llfrleat, clay;
Whether unknown or known to fame,
Your cam**’ and country atill the name.
You died and wore the grey.”
But you died fi>r principle and the right.
It is this that gives lustre to your lives !
and sheds over your deaths a halo of im- j
mortality. Ana what is character without!
principle ? It is a shining mantle covering
unsightlv deformity and ugliness—a silver
veil, hiding the grim visage of a false
Mokanna. But character, stamped with
tie* impress of truth and fashioned in the
mold of incorruptible integrity, is a leaf
torn from the Book of Life, upon which is
written the title deinis to immortal honors.
Men of Georgia, there is a history in
these graves, written in letters of living
truth. Read it, as it rise® in the grandeur
of its memories, in the eloquence of its
appeals, and the solemnity of its warn
ings. Bo ye true to principle and to right;
hesitate not when duty summons; be faith
ful to your obligations to yourselves, your
country, and your God. Such is the lesson
taught you to-day—this day of sacred j
memories. Thrice hallowed day—connect
ing link lietwcen the sorrowing present!
and the immortal past—the heroes living •
and the gallant dead. True, wo cel- j
ebrate it with no Passover Feast— i
no Miriam, with timbrel, sings our song j
of deliverance—no sweet music thrills our j
harp strings, for desolation is upon our 1
hopes, and blight upon our happiness; |
yet in our desolation we forget not those)
r ‘who died for the land they could not
save.” Noble (lead, you are gone. The
harp of existence has ceased its numbers,
yet the echo of its music fails sweetly on
memory's ear. The sun of lif** has set’ yet
I he heavens are glowing with his reflected
light. As spring time flowers, you have
passed away--us autumn fruit, you have
fallen, but spring will bud in lieauty again,
and autumn will ripen her mellow fruit
age; but the places that knew you will
know you no more, forever. The clouds !
have dissolved in gentle showers, and are j
gone. The oaks of the forest have fallen,!
so must they lie. Here upon the banks of
the stream, when* the last gun was tired j
and tlie last soldier fell, you are sleeping, \
undfstnrlied by th<* voice of the morning,
unmovect by evening’® holy vespers. To
tin- music of that stream you once gave
willing ear, but the waters whose roar i
made timt-music for you have rolled on to ■
the S'Si. and aiv gone; vet the (low of th*:
That tan* nehe.' rex erberates among the!
hills, and tin* echo of its waters is heard in i
the vallies, so will the memory of your i
doeds make sweet music for ns, long after :
the orators of vour existence shall be !
mingling with those of the eternal shore. |
Upon that bright shore may holy angels ;
guard your sleep.
Ladies of the Memorial Association—ye
noble watchers of the noble dead—the task
you assign*h( me is done. Yours now be
gins. Ye stricken Rizpahs come. Ye
mourning Rachels come; come nursing
your grief, and place your yearly offerings
upon tho humble graves where your dead
heroes sleep; and while you wreathe those
graves with flowers as pure as woman’s
tears, and sweet as woman’s love, Heaven
is lending a willing ear to the prayer that
ascends from your patriotic hearts, that
our noble dead
May "Sicfp *♦•< {, Bleep in par*s sleep in memo
ory ever
Wrapt each soul iu the J i w of itn deathless u
-deavor,
Until that gr* j t final j* a< i* shall be struck thro’
the world
’Till the Htars are recalled and the firmament
Curb'd
In the dawn of a daylight undying. Until
; Th*- signal of Zion ia *■>< ■ n on the hill

And the conflict of Time in by Eternity won.”
