The NEW ORGAN for the Third Congregs-
tional Church was set up last week, and a
few professional musicians and amateurs
were present at the first trial Of it; and all
united in pronouncing it fine instrument
Workmen are now busy putting up the
screen for the front-there is no case, prop
erly speaking-and we trust an early oppor-
tunity will be given for the Public to hear
the organ.
The organ is from the mandatory Of
Messrs. Simmons & Co., of Boston, and will
well sustain their reputation. 1t has the
following stops:
GREAT ORGAN-Open DIapason,s feet pipes
Stepped Diapsson Bass s feet-Dulciana
s feet-Principal eet-Twelfth, % feet
Fifteenth, 2 feet-Flute 4 feet-Trumpet 8
feet-Hohl Flute, s feet-MiIture, 3 ranks.
SWELL OReAS-Bourdon, 6 feet-Stopped
Diapason Treble, s feet-Stopped DinpasOn
Bass, feet-Principal Treble, fect-Prin-
cipal Base, 4 fcet-Keraulephon, feet
Hautboy, feet-Mi1ture ranks.
PEDAL 0KcAS-Opsn Diapason, l6 feet.
MECHANICAL REcIsrERs-Pedal and Swell
Coupler-Swell and Great Coupler-Pedal
and Coupler-Swell Tremulant-Ped-
al Check-Bellows Signal.
There are twenty five stops and registers,
and ] ,069 pipes two manuals with COM
pass oil Sc notes from &C to e 3,-the
pedal compass is 25 notes from c c c to G.
Those who are familiar with the construc-
tion of organs, will see that for the size the
selection of stops is excellent it was pro-
posed to have another pedal stop, but the
space allotted for the instrument proved not
large enough, and the organ is abundsntly
large for the church as it is.

Relics OF Proxy RACE IN TESNEssEE
Gen, MIlroy. who has been spending much
time IN Smith county, in attending to some
aiming and oil operations, informs us that.
while at WatertOwn few days since he saw
ONE remarkable graves, which had been
disclosed by the washing Of a small creek
in its passage through low bottom. The
graves were from eighteen inches TO two
ieet in length, most of them Q, the smaller
ne, and were formed by an excavation
about fifteen inches beneath the surface. in
which were placed four undressed slabs of
roek K, one in the bottom of the pit, one on
eac h side and one on top. Human skeletons,
some with nearly an entire skull, and many
wit h well defined bones. were found in them.
The teeth were very diminutive, but evident
ly those Of an adult. Earthen crooks were
found also with the skeletons.
Gen. Milrov could lind out nothing respect
ing these liliputian graves in conversation
with the Oldest inhabitants of the vicinity.
except that there was a large number of
similar graves. perhaps thousands. near
Statewide, in the same county, and also q
like burial ground at the mouth OF Stones
river, near this city. They were examined
about thirty years ago and excited good
of comment. These diminutive human
skeletons seem to have belonged to an ex-
tinct pigmy race. Gen. Milroy has deposited
some Of the bones in the State Library

Merle Christmas.

That it is fitting and right to observe with
rejoicing the day of the birth of the Redeem
er of mankind, should need no argument.
And that, if there be doubt as to the day,
it is well to observe that which has come
down to US through 60 many ages as Christ's
natal day, and which was kept as Sab
bath by the primitive Church, would seem
to be equally beyond question. The ancient
Anglo-Saxons made the day the beginning Of
the year. With US, it is the herald of the
New Year and of what glad new Year is
t not the herald With Peace restored /;

Love and Respect.

... IFrOm tho Augusta Con .titutionalist.l. srd
The other evening, while attending, a
theatrical performance in the city, some al
lusion was made by an actor to t..T'he FLa0.2
and instantaneously a thunderous cheer
went up from the Federal soldiers present.
Not the wild Highland yell of our old Con-
iederates, but the measured English cheer,
of the North, it brought to our mind many
memories of the past, and suggested some
few thoughts on the present. When last
heard, said swift recollection, this cheer of
men in blue came up from the plateaus of
Manassas and in the front of Yorktown
trenches, from all along McClelan's rat
tling line, and out of Chickahominy's
bloody tangles. Yes, and then too-was
quickly added-the fierce battle veil of the
South rose to meet it, for in those days IA
was first the scream of the eagle and then
the stroke of his flashing beak. The Bon
ME Blue Flag had its friends then, and not
seldom, when this cheer was heard, did its
stars shine with the brighter luster. 1"
With the thought came such tide of
fond remembrance that, in its despite, we
forced our mind away. There is but one
flag now, said solemn Duty, and you, are
sworn to support 1t. These men love that
flag-they have fought for it-they cheer it
and they are right, for you know that
you loved your own gallant banner ere
AppomatoX pulled it down. Looking at
the matter in this light every bitterness
evoked by that shout eXultant passed away.
1t is natural-is it not-that the North
should love the flag, and suflicent-is it
nOt-that the South should respect and sup
port it? With this understanding, the fut-
ter of its folds will awake no rancor among
us-the sound of its cheering stir up no
bitter blood. Sentiment is weak thing
for nations to rely on, but principle can
weld tighter than steel. Affectionate devo-
tion we have notebook to some other gem
Grafton for that-but trust us for the utter
most farthing of our sworn duty-for re-
spect in peace and maintenance in war. si
