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 ted, and if parties knowing of such omis sions will report them to Mrs. C. E. Dex 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 ■•ln form so pur*. 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 ! “sorrowful nyct iiithes,” omitting its odor 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 bled; Toll night and day—forever toll a requiem fur our dem'.. ' 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. “Hard, hard Indeed was the contest for 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.
