the steps of the magnificent monument to the
Confederate dead and leads in prayer An
this is touching scene but look, the decora-
ton begins Here you see fond sister adorn-
ing with the offerings of nature the grave OF
that stalwart brother whom she not long ago
bid God-speed on his way. Yonder fond
mother sprnkles with her tears while she dec
crates the grave of her loved but lost son or
husband. But why linger over the scene? He
has dull imagination who cannot complete
the picture himself. Well might one exclaim,
"It is good to be herew 1t is a pity "Decora-
tion Day" does not come oftener. It serves to
revive our patriotism. 1t is sad to contemplate
the decline of true patriotism in the South
since the war. The national ambition and
patriotism of 1776, "where, oh! where are
they ?" Present on the occasion were several
yankees from the Barracks, who seemed to look
upon the entire programme as foolish and dis
gusting. Fate forbid that we may ever forget
our brave heroes, dead or living, and especially
the former. We are daily lectured and ad-
vised by politicians and journalists to throw
aside our prejudices and lore the yankees, but
if real good feeling is ever restored between
North and South, it will not be the work of a
day. 1t will take time. They seem to think
that we are like beasts to fight one day and for
get it the next. Secession was not the mad
frenzy of moment but the long contemplated
action of statesmen with whom the North has
never sted equals. The war was begun
with the firm conviction that We we're right
and they wrong; that they were imposing upon
us, and that we were fighting for good cause.
Do they expect us to uproot these convictions
in day, merely because we were overpowered?
But to return to Atlanta.
Out of pic MICS and shooting ARRAYS, military
parades and spelling bees, cock fights and
strawberry festivals, the citizens of Atlanta
manage to have a right pleasant time. The
proprietor of the Kimball House has leased
New Holland Springs, about ffty-fve miles
above here near Gainesville, and an excursion
goes up there tomorrow. An excursion leaves
here soon by Norfolk to Richmond-round trip,
$500; and also one for Florida. The Kim
ball House is to have one hundred and twenty
FIVE more rooms soon. A new cotton factory
is to be built in the city before long.

Another Libel Suit.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican has been
sued for 100000 damages, on account of az
alleged libel against the character of one Will
lis Phelps. The law of Massachusetts, recently
amended permits case of any kind to be tried
without jury, and the plaintiff in this action
having expressed wish to that effect, the de-
fendant acquiesced in the suggestion, and the
trial is now taking place before Judge Endi-
colt, of the Supreme Court. Able counsel are
engaged on both sides, and the trial will prob
ahly last between one and two weeks.

The New ATTORNEY General.


The President having rendered the position
of Attorney General to Judge Edwards Pierre
pont, of New York, that gentleman has accep-
ted the position, and will enter upon his duties
on the 18th inst, when Laudaulet Williams
will retire therefrom. He is good lawyer, all
excellent citizen, and in every way far superior
to his predecessor. The country may be con-
graduated that a gentleman takes the place of
an unscrupulous partisan, which is creditabe
to President Grant. Judge Pierrepont belongs
to respectable family, and was formerly a
Democrat. He Joined the Republicans in 1868,
III it was his admiration for Grant that carried
him into the party. Although strong friend
of the administration, he has exhibited some
independence of thought and action by de-
nouncing the third term idea, and he was one
of the speakers at the great meeting in New
York which censured the military interference
with Louisiana last winter. 1t is stated more
over, that the President and members of the
Cabinet are now willing to endorse his views
on the Louisiana matter, which shows that
moderate and sensible counsels will likely per-
wade the administration TO greater extent
hereafter. He will certainly make an improve
ment upon the former method of dealing with
Southern affairs, and with this belief we hail
his appointment with satisfaction, trusting that
he will be guided by stronger sense of justice
and prOpriety.

: A misunderstanding has arisen betwe

"A misunderstanding has arisen between
Governor Porter, of Tennessee, and Governor
Smith, of Georgia, which has resulted in tenn
porary cessation Of that Interstate comfy
which in our federal system is SO necessary to
a due administration of justice. Some two
months ago Smith refused to recognize Portcr's
requisition for a man named Knight, charged
with some offence, on the ground that civil
proceedings were pending against him in Geor-
gia, brought by some citizen of that State, and
now the Governor of Tennessee, having a
chance to retaliate, has refused to give up a
man by the name ofSaunders on the application
of Smith, to answer a crime committed within
the Jurisdiction of the latter.

- Hon. Carl Schurz was recently serenaded
at St. Louis. He declared, in response to this
compliment that he meant to make st. Louis
his home and, after returning from Europe, de-
vote his attention to journalism. A great many
persons have been mourning Mr.. Schurzs re-
mined to take higher and more influential
position, no further regrets need be expressed.
Carl Scllurz as an editor will be more power

4 DESTRUCTIVE STORA:

The severest storm Of wind and rain which
has visited the up-country for years, passed
through this place on Saturday last, destroying
in its ruthless course large amount Of timber,
fences, stables and other outbuildings, It be-
gan at about three o'clock in the afternoon,
and continued unabated for upwards Of an
hour, during which time store-signs were
blown down, windows shattered, shade and
fruit trees, and fences of every description lev
elled to the ground. The scene without was
terrific In the adjacent country, the storm
ragged more fiercely than in town, and we are
informed that for miles on every side through
the forests, timber in great quantities was
strewn by the force of the tempest, and the
plantation fences were completely levelled.
In town the orchards and gardens suffered Sc
verey. A few stables and sheds, situated on
the outskirts, were destroyed. The signs Of
Messrs. Smith, Clark 4. Co., and M. Lesser.
were completely demolished, and some of the
windows in the east end of Masonic Hall were
broken, letting in the wind and rain, which
partially injured the walls of the stage. We
learn that Mr.. Thomas Dickson, who lives
about twelve miles north Of this place, while
on his way home was caught in the storm and
thrown from his buggy by the violence Of the
wind, and slightly injured. The telegraph wire
was broken below the railroad tank by trees
falling upon it. This was certainly most de-
structive tornado, and we hope that our section
may soon recover from its effects.

f'Shall our Press be Muzzled%

We have received the annexed circular from
leading and influential firms and business men
of Charleston, whose names are attached there
to, asking our cooperation in raising funds to
lessen the heavy burden borne by the Charles
ton Neaps and Courier in the recent prosecution
for libel. These gentlemen truly aver that the
onslaugh:s Of that influential and powerful
journal were made in the interests of good
government and the property-holders of the
State, and the proprietors should not bear the
pains and penalties incurred without material
aid from the people. We will cheerfully re-
ceive and forward any amount through the
proper channel, and trust that the citizens of
Anderson will show their appreciation of the
manly, independent and self:sacrifcing course
of the News and Courier by prompt, gener-
Gus response to this appeal:
SHALL OUR PRESS BE MUzzLED?-A
criminal prosecution for libel has been pressed
against the Editors of the Neacs and Cou-
rier, the only important vehicle of public
opinion in Charleston, and the leading public
journal in South Carolina. The article upon
which this prosecution is based were written
during the State canvass last Fall and the risk,
annoyance, and money loss growing out of the
bold and independent action of Messrs. Riordan
& Dawson, have been incurred for the public
good These gentlemen could have had no
private ends to secure in their course. Can the
community with propriety leave them to strug-
gle through their difficulties unaided?
Desperate diseases require desperate reme-
dies. When band of politicians were making
efforts to seize this city and county for their
purposes, the editors of the News and Courier,
the recognized sentinels on the watch tower,
the guardians of the interests of this entire
community, handled them without gloves, and
bafled their schemes. They have fought the
fight, and in so doing have incurred the hostili-
ty of those who are now seeking to impose
pains and penalties upon them. Under these
circumstances we conceive it to be our duty, as
we'll as privilege, to mitigate as far as we can,
the heavy burden they now have to bear. The
undersigned therefore propose to unite in form
ing at once, committee of one hundred prop
erty-holders, and that each citizen of the hun
dred SO addressed give for himself, or collect
from his friends and neighbors the sum of
$50.
The expenses of the numerous witnesses,
many brought from long distances and sus-
tanned in attendance at Court at considerable
cost, with counsel fees, Court charges, Sc, &C.,
are estimated at FIVE thousand dollars, all of
which to be provided by the defendants.
We have, therefore, taken the liberty of re-
questing your cooperation in this matter, and
ask your prompt action. Mr.. William Thayer
has kindly consented to act as Treasurer, and
returns should be made to him at No. 10 Broad
Street

DEDIcA71oN OF BIG CREEK CHURCH

large congregation at big creek on Saturday /,
and many persons were present from dis
tance On the Sabbath, however, a much larger
number made up the congregation, and from
all parts of the surrounding country there was
gathered an intelligent and appreciative assem-
blage, who had come to hear a preacher Of
such renown, one whose reputation and ability
are familiar to the humblest.
The services began at halfpast ten o'clock.
at which time the spacious building was lite
rally crammed with people, mostly ladies, and
hundreds were u. on the outside of the church.
unable to secure even standing room within.
Appropriate hymns were read and sung, and
DR.. Graves opened the services by reading a
part of the sth chapter of lst Kings, which in
cludes the dedicatory prayer of King Solomon
upon the completion of the temple at Jerusa-
lem. During the opening exercises, prayer
was offered by Rev. B. F. Mauldin. The SER
mon of Dr. Graves which followed occupied
two hours and quarter, and was founded upon
Acts l.: Sand ye shall be witnesses unto
me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea. and
in Sanlaria, and unto the uttermost part of tho
EARTH" These are the last recorded words of
the Master before his ascension, and afforded
rlcu Lueillc loT Lue oCCdSlOL. IL WOulQ De use
less to attempt a synopsis of the discourse.
with the expectation of conveying an adequate
idea of it's fullness and completeness, and we
would certainly fail to show its harmony and
symmetry. Some of the views expressed were
novel and striking, and the entire sermon was
plain and effective, replete with originality and
fervent devotion to principle, and greatly cal
culated to make a lasting impression upon his
hearers inducing thought and meditation upon
the truths presented.
After the sermon was concluded, collection
was taken up to assist in the liquidation of The
debt incurred, which had been assumed bv
several members. An intermission of thirty
minutes then ensued, when the congregation
again assembled, and the Lords Supper was
administered.
We have before commended the appearance
of the building, which is structure entirely
creditabe to the neghborhood. The brick
work was under the supervision of Messrs.
David and VIM. Drennand, and is one of the
best jobs we have ever seen in this country.
The plastering is the handiwork of COL Nav.
and cannot be exceled for beauty and perfect
finish AS described by DR.. Graves. the build
ing is neat, elegant and commodious, without
meretriciOus ornament or useless expenditure
of any kind, and will stand as a monument to
the good taste and liberalty of it's founders to
call forth the admiration of succeeding gene
rations. Big Creek Church is under the pasto-
raj charge of Rev. r. W. Burts, who is a zeal
Gus worker, and receives the cooperation Of
large and influential membership.

ster he had been addressing as Miss Grey
off the chair and tried to seat Mrs. Jen-
nings in it. But Jennings was too quick
and popped the little sister there to her
infinite confusion.
We had refreshments and a pleasant
chat, during which l said to Smith;
"Don't look like that, man, when 1
brought the real thing here"
l saw it sll plainly enough now-cynic-
al Smith had been most desperately gone
with Jenny, who liked him too but after
the fashion of some young ladies, snubbed
him and kept him at bay. After the
meeting, though at the chamber, and the
discovery Of bis rehearsal, Jennings was
not long, aided by bis wife, in arranging
for the proper acting Of the drama. So
Smith declared, was accepted, the play
came off and | was one Of the actors
best man was my part, and l could not
help thinking how pleasant it would be il
some little Jenny were to take pity or
my fOrtyfve years and gray hairs, anC
make me as happy man as was Smitl
on his wedding day.
The rehearsal, though, is a standing
joke ; and the sticking up of sofa pillow
whenever we may meet is sure to bring
a red flush into the cheeks OF Mrs. Smith
and a declaration from her that it is toe
bad for anything.
Poor Smith how he ought to have
thanked US for bringing matters to (
climax.

WILLIAM BUTLER is a negro Justice
Of the Peace at Nashville, Tennessee. In
case recently tried before him, Fanny
Taylor got verdict of So for washing
bill. Justice Butler took the money from
the defendant and refused to give it to the
plaintiff. His judicial opinion is reported
to have been: Fanny, dis money jes
squars dc count you owed me. III freeze
toit, honey" Fanny entered an exception
to His Honor's ruling on the ground that
he was an cold thief" and then he
knocked out her front teeth and kicked
her out into the street. His decision will
be reviewed in a criminal court.
