Guiding New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Della
ware, and the gross increase in the cotton

CONFEDERATION DAY TO-MOR
ROW

Tomorrow is doubtless understood by
all in this community as the day selected
to pay appropriate honors to the Confed-
crate dead. The services will commence
at ten o'clock precisely at the Cemetery
grounds, and it is hoped that all will turn
out, regardless of former differences or
political views. This honor is to be paid 10
virtue and valor, which have no other re-
ward save the affectionate remembrance
of friends who now live. The wounds in
the lacerated hearts of mothers, fathers,
wives, sisters, brothers and friends have
not closed since the dreadful shock of
war swept over the lasd, and with it con-
signed to the grave noble hearts that
shall beat ne more. Can we, then, so
soon forget our duty to those whose
images should net yet have faded from
our minds Willthe glory of past events,
which poor human nature sometimes
aspires to, be forgotten by US, who claim
the honorable inheritance left. Should
the memory Of friends, who have achieved
this Immortality in defense of our own
land and country, be permitted to
decay with their bones Never Let
the sorsid thirst for gold and the
plans by which it may be made be for
gotten by our people for one day at least
in the year.
By the general closing up.of all bust
ness houses in the city on tomorrow.
il will be made convenient for every one
10 attend the floral demonstration for
the day. We are sure that the friends Of
these brave Confederates who sleep in
Elmwood will not for a moment hesitate
to comply with the request of so many
Of the angelic ladies, who are anxious TO
make the day one Of general mourning.
We wonld, by way of suggestion, throw
out the idea Of taking up a collection on
that day that may 90 to paying the ex.
psnse Of fitting up ihe graves of these
heroes. The grounds are sadly 10 want
of the care that should be bestowed on
that dust that once contained the tpirits
of these brave men. We should pay all
the honor due to their virtuous sacrifice.

PUBLIC LEDGER.
THE AVALANCHE AND THE
LEDGER,s CORRESPONDENT.

Our very large and consistent Jefferson
street contemporary is out in three-eol-
umn article this morning to prove the
simple truth that white is white, and not
black. There is certainly useless ex-
penditure Of ink and paper in endeavor-
ing to show to this community the al
most undispuled fact that such men as
Col Clay Condo, Col Marland L. Per
kius, Major Irving Halsey, Msjor Hosea
Townsend, 7. B. Edgiugton, John W.
Prescott, W. W. Gilbert, Michael Pow
endale. Charles A. Choaie and George Z.
Stahl are gentlemen who can and should
be relied upon. A single blast from
Rhodericks horn on that point
might at any time bespeak
thousand men III the city of Mem
phis, yea, ten thousand If called
upon, to indorse the course of these
gentlemen, so consistent with virtue
and true manhood. These Northerners,
SO far through the trying ordeal of politi-
cal changes in this country, have ever
proven themselves the true friends OF the
Constitution and the rights of their
down-trodden brethren. None can ex'
tend a warmer greeting to those men than
will the LEDGER at all times. They are,
we can say with truth, the most of
them, our personal friends, and all
our political brethren. If we may
boast of political spoils, then, in the
division, let them, as well as we, have
every one an equal share. With us
there is no difference around the politi-
cal board, SO all be men in whose
veins runs the Caucasian blood, with no
black-and-tan mixture.
The LEDGER, let it be understood, is
political paper, through which every
man has the privilege of expressing his
