Floral Tribute to the Confederate Dead
li, in Augusta. .D baa

According ts appointment the ladies of our
city repaired to the cemetery yesterday after
noon, to decorate the graves of the noble dead
soldiers Of the Lost Cause Although, the
hour appointed was o'clock, before 2, hun
drcds OF our noble women were busly Engaged
in twning wrcaths Of evergreen aud immortelle
Ground the head-boar,ls and otherwise beauti-
tying with flowers the graves of those who
gave their lives for us. AS We silently gazcd
at lovely maidens und stately n,atrons paying
these heart tributes to the dust and memories
of strangers graves, while pcrchance their
thoughts were busy with remembrances of
loved brother or son, whose mangled form was
deposited under the green sod of Virginia, or
among the hills Of Tennessee and Georgia, we
almost envied the fate Of those who were not
permitted to sec this day Of humiliation, and
we there call to mind the words which, in the
dark days of 81, Georgia soldier wrote to
his wife in Augusta ''All is gloomy. New
Orleans has fallen, and We must evacuatc Nor
fork. Oh, what if we should lose that for
which VIC fight! God grant may not live to
sec my native State at the feet Of the con-
qucror rather let my bones find soldiers
grave, and my family bottcd from existence,
no heir of mine succeeding to plant flower
there, no widowed heart to mourn her husband
and his country dead" But that soldiers
prayer was not answered. Gods ways are not
!as our ways, and yesterday with fearful eyes,
he witnessed the touching, silent ceremonies,
land saw the caves Of many of his comrades
badecktd y ftF- Inn uIier.s Biz aaow crs.
The demonstration yesterday was more large
ly attended than any which has preceded it,
and the profusion Of flowers indicated the uni
versal interest taken by our ladies'.
Not until the shades of evening fell did the
thousands leave the sacred spot, aud then we
mournfully left cur brethren.

the prosecution not responding Groesbcck
commenced. He argued that the body he was
addressing was court, arguing from the con
stitution, which permitted neither bills of at
tainder nor irresponsible, especially such as
were laws unto themselves. Lncoln's plain
violation of the constitution had been ratified
by Congress because his motives whore good.
He then proceeded to argue that the Fl rat eight
articles rested on whether the President had
right to remove Stanton and give Thomas an
ad ,nterins appointment t4s9a tff' q s'ii
He argued that had lincoln lived and and had
the Tenure of Bill been passed in hostility to
Lincoln, that Lincoln, under. its provisions
during his second term, could have legally
removed every Cabinet officer appointed by
himself during his first term, and that Stanton
had infinitely less claim to the tenure under
Mr.. Johnson's term ~ q si-.ies3 q ba'

and adjournment was proposed, but Groesbeck
feared few days delay would not help him,
and asked to be allowed to proceed, though
circumstances compelled him to mako impor-
tant omissions in his argument The President
having consulted the advisers indicated by tho
constitution was guitless of crime. 1t was
comparatively useless to urge the unconstitu-
tionality of the net with those who framed it !;
but, granting its constitutionality hs denied
the Presidents criminality. The President s
oath Of Office required him to maintain tho
constitution, minor officers sworc to support it,
Answering Boutwell, that the President was
bound to execute all laws. Grocsbeck inquired
about the Presidents duty when the Supreme
Court had declared law unconstitutional.
Grocsbcck quoted q large number Of prcccdonts,
against which he was alone to act, ofsixty-seycn,
claiming there was abundant room for doubt
and position on the part Of the President
sufficient at least to induce him to resist, with
view of attaining judicial decision. Groesbeck
asked whether the President was to be con
victcd and deposed because he had acted on
the Interpretation sanctioned by bis constitu
tional advisers, by tho 38th Congress, by the
Supreme Court, and the uniform practice Of
the government. Evidence showed the Prcsd

CAPTURE OF A PACE-TRAIS BY THE CoIsr- ZERO APAcnEs. Prom Messrs. Young and Bryant, who recently came through from New Mexico. we learn that while they were in camp at Zuni, Sol Earth l-Ilttlc Sol, and Geosge Clinton, formerly of this county, with some Mexicdns, arrived at the villages from the White Mountain, almost naked and in a starving condition. They had left Zuui but short time previous, with a pack-train of some twenty head of animals, loaded with goods and trinkets specially suited for trade with the Indians. With them was an Indian guide After crossing the Mogoioue range and descending into the valley of the Rio de los Milpas, and while going through a deep and narrow box canyon, the members of the party were seized, one by one, by Indians, deprived of their arms. stripped of their clothing and threatened with death, and would have been murdered but for the interference of an Indian who knew Sol. After being re- leased by the Indians. they took the trail for Zuni, distant 50 or 20 miles, without food Of any de,criptiUn arms and but very little clo;hing-some of them having been stripped of their boots. When the bangs of hunger became unbearable, they killed dog wlicl accompanied them and lived upon the meat for five days Sol told Messrs. Bryant and Young that the Indians who robbed him be- longed to Ca-cheis' band, but We doubt thi: very much, as Ca-cheis and his band live oyel 100 miles east of where hesaid he was robbed The robbers, no doubt, belonged to the band. of Sierra Ancha and Miguel, wlo live al thc White Mountain, and who, occasionally z, down to Fort Goodwin, on the Gila, to draw Government ratiOns.
 If what we have heard of Sol Earth Dc correct. we do not pity him for his misf9r tune It is believed here and in New Mexi co that he has been in the habit of trading these Indians powder, lead and arms, and i such be the case, we regret that they did not take him down to the village and let their squAws torture him to death.
