This list does include arrivals by SAILING vessels

also the effect Of almost entirely excluding from the

here nearly all have entered into business that has

AUGUSTA, Dec. 81, 1875.
The funeral OF the dead duellist, c. D. Tilly took
place from ST. Paul's church yesterday the regular
rector officiating The church crowded to sunoca-
ton almost there not being either the
floor or in the galleries. The minister read psalm,
offered prayer and then the choir sung
Jesus lover OF my soul,
Let me TO Thy bosom Il
Before dsmissing the audience he delivered short
discourse upon duelling, condemnng the heathenish
and barbarous practice in toto He said not only the
laws of Georgia but the laws OF God condemned it. We
could at least enforce the laws of the State
make repetition of the tragic which has
just stricken this community impossible. He denied
the right OF any not only to take his own but the
life Of his fellow Life belonged to God and He alone
had the right TO take II away.
After the service the magnificent casket, in which
the body lay was borne down aisle taken back
TO the hearse 1t covered with wreaths OF white
camelas long line Of carriages and bugges formed
in OF the hearse Three or four hundred persons
followed the remains 10 the cemetery Arriving there,
the coffin lowered while the Episcopal burial
service was being read by Rev. Mr.. Clark.
COMMENTS
No duel has occurred IN Georgia in twentyh years
which produced such profound sensation. II was
supposed that that mode OF settling difficulty had be-
think the could not be found In the city who would
engage in It, But Just let contingencies
and they would forth by the dozen. The large
crowd which attended Tly's funeral attested this,
rather a certain admiration for a man who had
the pluck 20 face his enemy at ten PAGES and
receive his death wound This people have the highest
admiration Tor personal courage and precious little
for a who fails TO show IT, Knowing this 1t would
have amounted almost social ostracisn If Ratclife
had declined the peremptory challenge Tilly sent him.
To break up duelng is now puzzling any amount OF
moralists To cure ii entirely they must first uproot
this public opinion OF man who declines to fight
when called upon
Since his death it has been ascertaned that Tily be-
longed family of blue blood ireland and that his
sister Is married TO an English nobleman-

TIE MODERN IOR.

Gen. Gordon made a short speechin Viii
mingtOn, n. c., last week. We give an
extract from the Stars report; He had
been North and could say that = rUmbling
Of coming victory could be heard all over
that section. He cOunseled them all to be
true and steadfast to the, principles Of con-
stitUtiOnal liberty, and the centennial sun OF
70 would show the banner Of freedom fly
ing from the dome Of the capitol. He had
often compared the Southern people to Job.
Like job they were patient, they had their
sons taken away, their prOPertytaken away,
their servants taken away. Job had bOils,
sores and scabs, and the Southern people
had scalawags and Carpet-haggers. There
was another similarity between Job and
the Southern peOple-he remained true to
his faith through all his Affections, and so
had they; bet after all the devil did not try
to put Jobs servants over him. He said be
had been charged on the looro Of the Senate
Of the United states with having uttered
cOnciliatOTy sentiments In a speech at Con-
cord, New Hampshire, which he would not
repeat in the South. He was ready to say
10 his fellOw-cOUntrymen that the people Of
the South were ready Tow, today, in the
future and forever, to Join hands with the
people Of the Union.

The Mrsterr ExnIainod.

The mystery connected with the fair
young visitor from Kentucky, whose pc
culiar situation was described in yesieI-
days issue, was cleared up yesterday. Her
uncle arrived from Kentucky by a morn
ing train and took her back home yester-
day. He called on the male acquaintance
who figured in the account published yes
terday and received an explanation which
was entirely satisfactory.
II turns ont that the young woman was
actuated by a morbid desire for indepen-
dence. She had imagined herself a burden
to her relatives and brOOded over il till she
determined 10 try 10 make her own sup
port. She placed her male acquaintance
here in a very awkward predicament. He
says he Immediately wrote 10 one Of her
unc!cs and in the meantime thought it pru-
dent TO provide for her as be did.

The ReadInE az fhe library.

The promised reading al the library came
off last evening, with very marked evidence
Of appreciation from those present. The
revival meeting at the Exposition building,
the lecture or address of Miss Dickinson at
the Opera House, the excitement at the Jail
and the rain, all doubtless contributed TO
diminish the attendance. Nevertheless
there we're enough present to prevent a
"pOstpOnement of the entertainment. The
reading was excellent. The pieces were
well selected, and commanded Tapt
attention and emphatic applause.
The music by Prof. Kessler and the
amateur assistants was exquisite, COM
pTising some Of the most beautiful Operatic
gems.
1t is to be regretted that some of those
announced to lake part in the exercises
were Unavoidably prevented from doing so.
Their regrets came in so late that il was
impossible to supply their places.
IL is also to be regretted that the ener-
getic efforts Of Mrs. Brown TO keep up a
city library are not more cordially sus-
tanned by the public, and by the directors
and officers Of the library.
