When clouds o'ercharged with care and

Tis in the rolled tobacco leaf
That solace can be found:
With every puff there fades away,
Some feigned or real sorrow,

Whate'er betide the morrow.

To yon blue heavens ascend;

To charm away from those ! love,

Why the South Failed.

Gen. J. B. Gordon made an address at the
commencement Of the University Of Georgia
last week, and essayed to explain the failure
Of the South in the war of the rebellion. His
remarks on this point are thus reported ::
"And just here l am tempted to break the
thread of my argument to make remark
which / think ought to be made in this con-
nectlon 1t is this that, this civilization and
these institutions, whatever may be SAID OF
their evils, were also the sources from which
sprung the III ,tchl So prowess and selt-sacri-
flee exhibited by the South in the late war.
And as | have introduced this subject,
let me add also that | mean no mimic
regret when | dep ore the efforts to place
tae responsibility OF our failure at the door
OF this or that nan, or upon this or that
cause. The truth u.s. we have failed because
it was impossible to succeed; and if, with all
the exp .rlence of both sides, We had he war
TO fight over again, We should accomplish no
more; nor has any other race, under like cir
Gu Instances, ever accomplished SO much in the
past, nor can ever accomplish more in the
future. What is it that you ought to have
done that was left undone? You did all that
human hands could accomplish, hum intel
lects suggest, human skill devise, or human
hearts endure. And you yielded at last only
to overwhelming calamities, to crushing i'm
possibilities, to the DEGREES of destiny
