THE AUGUSTA MONUMENT.

There was an immense concourse
Of persons at the unveiling of the
Confederate Monument in Augusta,
on the lst inst. The ceremonies
were very touching and impressive.
The monument is obelisk in shape,
and rises seventy-two feet to the
statue at the top. The base, of Geor-
gia granite, is twenty-five feet square,
and is laid upoa a raised foundation,
Increasing the altitude Of the structure
to seventy-six feet. With the excep-
tion of this granite forming the steps,
the monument is built of the finest
monumental marble. At each of the
four corners Of the base it is proposed
to place an iron or stone cannon. On
the first section of the monument
proper are inserted four tablets, each
bearing an appropriate inscription.
On the North side-''In memoriam.
No nation rose so white and fair,
none fell so pure of crime Worthy
to have lived aud known our graft
tude; worthy to be hallowed and held
in tender remembrance; worthy the
fadeless fame which Confederate SOL
diers won, who gave themselves in
life and death for US; for the honor of
Georgia for the rights Of the States
for the liberties of the people for the
sentiments of the South; for the
principles of the Union, as they were
handed down to them by the fathers
of our common country" On tbe
East sideH"Our Confederate dead"
On the West side-"Erected A. D.
1878, by the Memorial Association of
Augusta, in honor Of the men of

cause of the Confederate States" At
the top Of the first section, twenty
feet from the base, stand in bas-relief,
at the corners, life-sized statues of
Of Generals R. Z. Lee, W. II.
T. Walker, Stonewall jackson and
Thomas R. R. Cobb, representing re.
spectively the Lost Cause, the State
of Georgia aud Richmond County.
The second section above the statues
of the Generals contains various Con-
federate emblems carved upon two
sides showing the ooat-of-arms of the
Confederate States and that of the
State of Georgia. The obelisk rises
proportionasely with tasteful orna-
mentations from this section to the
cap, where it is surmounted by a
statue of a private Confederate soldier,
heroic size, at rest. The United
States and Confederate flags, COM
bined with "peace" overhead, make
an appropriate banner;
