A Beautiful Tribute 10 Southern
Women.

We have seldom read more touching
and eloquent tribute to woman's humility
and strength than that contained in the
address of Colonel Thomas Hardeman,
of Macon, Ca, delivered at the decora-
ton of the Confederate graves in the sol
diers' cemetery, at Atlanta, few days
since. Said the eloquent speaker:
Like the captive Hebrews, they sing
not now the songs that wake to music sweet
their David's harp, for that harp now
hangs upon the willows by the rivers of
Babylon, where they sit down and weep
over fallen Judea True, they sing the
songs of marriage feasts, and vintage
ingatherings, yet they come with flower
and tear to testify to their sympathy in
the sorrow of the land, and their undying
appreciation of their gallant dead What
better offering has sorrow or grief than
the timid hearts ease, or the modest fern?
What purer testimonial Of the heart than
the humble violet, planted by beauty's
hand over the loved ones grave? As the
trees that grew over the grave of the
daughter of Thrace, at stated periods,
dropped the tears of their branches over
her resting place, so do these noble women
come when spring flowers bloom to plant
the memorial shrub and shed their tears
of love over the humble mounds that tell
where our heroes sleep. For this l give
them honor and praise and unfeeling must
be the heart that does not do homage to
our Southern women, the perfection of
beauty, and the glory of the land. With
them patriotism is religion, and love
an element of life. The hour of adver-
sity was their hour of triumph. Does the
storm gather and the tempest sweep?
Man, the Bashan oak falls before the
fury of the blast, but woman, the willow
by the waters, fourished, beautiful in her
humility and luxuriant in her sorrow,
when the tempest was over. Do the
thunders crash or the lightning strike?
Man, the towering pine is riven by the
stroke. Woman, the humble flower nest
ling among our garden plants, emitted
sweeter fragrance when the storm was
hushed Firm, constant, devoted patri-
otism, pure as the waters from "Chin-
dara's Fount," enthused their bosoms and
signalized their lives. Meek, gentle and
confding, devotion and love sweet as
the fruits of the "Amrita tree charac-
terized their every action. Generous and
selfsacrificing, they stripped beauty of its
jewels and home of its luxuries for the
success of their cause and the comfort of
their braves. Aud now that the flag is
uprolled and the jacket of grey hangs
empty on the wall, they bring their offer
ings of love for those who
''Died for the land they could rot save.'

Eds NEws:-in your edition of May
%, 1874, l find the following;
"a monument TO the memory of Col
r. A Smith, "a soldier in the Confederate
army, has been erected at Dean Cemetery,
in Edinburgh, Scotland.
1t is not my object here to eulogize the
noble dead, but it may not be uninterest-
ing to the many Mississippians now living
in the Lone Star State, to know that the
soldier referred to above, whose memory
will ever be dear to those who knew him,
was Colonel of the Tenth Mississippi In
fantry Regiment, and fell while calamity
leading his glorious regiment against
the Federals in Fort Craig, at Mumfords-
vile, Kentucky, on the 4th of September,
1862
Col Smith, though quite young man
was at the beginning of the war, elected
Captain of the Mississippi Rifles" an
organization in jackson, Mississippi, which
for wears before the outbreak, had existed
as the champion military company or the
State, and of which this writer had the
honor to be junior Second Lieutenant
Under orders from President Davis, Capt
Smith, on the 9th of March, 1861, with
1Uf men, FdIlk anu IIG-Incu DIS DIdNS
and fearless as ever faced the mouth of a
cannon, or a volley of proceed
ed to Pensacola, Fla, where, after the
death of Col. Nose Phillips, our first Col
onel after organizing regiment, we were
loathe to give up our Captain, he having
been elected by large majority Colonel
of the regiment. and at the age of twenty
three years.
His keen and thorough knowledge of
military tactics and discipline often caused
him to be taken from US and placed in
command of other regiments and brigades;
and at the time of his death, it was re-
ported and generally believed that he
had been promoted to Brigadier Gen
eral, though an order to that effect was
never published.
COL Robt A. Smith was Scotchman
by birth, a gentleman and soldier by nature
and instinct, Confederate, American and
Mississippian by adoption. His brother,
JAS Smith, then in Scotland, armed and
equipped a company Cat his own expense
atterward organized in jackson, and in
honor of r. A and Jas. Smith, the COM
pany was named 'Smith Quitman Ri

The Riot in PIaquemine.

From the n. o. Bulletin.
From gentleman who has Just arrived
from Plaquemine we learn that the riot
which occurred there last Saturday even
ing was quite a serious and significant
affair. One negro man was killed outright,
another was dying when our informant left,
and several others were suffering from Sc
we're Wounds.
1t appears that there has grown up in
Plaquemine, as in other parishes, feel
ing of antagonism between the genuine
negroes and the rascally carpet-baggers
and their mulatto allies. This feeling has
recently become much intensified by the
attempt on the part of the latter faction
to rule the former and to appropriate all
the offices and emoluments. The negroes
have very naturally resisted this attempt,
and, being largely in the ascendant as re-
CARDS votes, have pretty effectually signi'
fed their determination to stand no more
such nonsense.
The meeting, which finally broke up in
a riot, was the third which had been
called by the Radicals in the parish foI
the purpose of organization.
The fight was quite a lively one, but the
negroes were entirely victorious, putting
the carpet-baggers and muiattoes com
pletely to fight, and remaining in undis
| turbed possession of the field. The oppo
| nents are either housed In the town or are
| hiding in the woods Almost all the mu
lattoes have abandoned the plantation
and taken to the swamps in fear of thu
enrsged negroes.
The resident white people have taker
no part either way in the scrimmage.

\ wonderful Cave.

In the range of mountains in Western
North Caroline, known as the "Fork
Range" Il most singular phenomenon
exists. 1t is breathing cave. In the
summer months current of air comes
from it so strongly that a person can't
walk against II. while in the winter the
suction is just rs great. The cool air
from the mountain in the summer Is felt
for miles, in direct line from the mouth
of the cave. Al times a most unpleas-
ant oder is emitted upon the current
from dead carclsses of animals sucked
in and killed by its violence. The loss
Of cattle and stock in that section in
winter is accounted for in this way
They range too near the mouth of the
cave. and the current carries them in.
AT times, when the change from inhala-
ton to exhalation begins, the air is filed
with various hairs of animals; not un-
frequently bones and whole carcasses
are seen miles from the place The air
has been known to change materially IN
temperature during exhalation, from
quite cool to unpleasantly hot, wlther-
mo Vegetation, within reach, and accom-
Danied by terrible, roaring, gurgling
sound, as of a pot boiling. 1t is unac-
counted for by scientific men who have
examined it, though no exPlorationscan
take place. It is feared by many that
volcanic eruption may break forth there
some time. Such things bave occurred
in places as little unexpected. Richmond
