ESQ, in Granite HALL. i Nineteen years ago the Sixth Massachu- sets Regiment was marching through the streets of Baltimore; fired upon BY the rebel populace, three of its members fell welterng in blood in the streets Of that city. On re- ceipt of the news, Gov. John A. Andrew, that noble man. who had the heart of woman and the courage ofalion. telegraphed in reply .Send them to us tenderly.' The spirit of that telegram has given birth to these SER vices, and in commemoration Of the death of three hundred thousand brave men, this Gus tom has arisen. Customs are photographs of national life. We come in imitation of an impressive Athe nian custom,-a custom hallowed by time, born in that City Of Philosophers, that en- bellished ancient Greece, and beautifed aD all that is noble in mankind. Percles, her. son. said at is debt of justice to pay supe- rior honOrs to those who had devoted their lives in fighting for their country Pagans they were, but worshippers of the lofty emo tions of the soul. Marathon, to them, was living reality the heroes Of that glorious battle ground we're demi- gods. Yearly their funeral urns blossomed with offerings fresh from the lap of bounteous Nature. Such SER vices are the ins .inct Of greatness. To-day, silence is golden; tributes Of speech empty, hollow, unworthy. Upon their graves lies the narcissus, the flower Of quiet sleep, and glowing from its petals, the hya cinth-to bloom immortal. Fifteen times the falling snow has blarketed their sleeping forms. Fifteen times the springing blades of grass, lifting heavenward, have typified their resurrection. In the silent city of the dead, you have de- posted your tributes of love and grateful re- membrance. The memory of your fallen heroes lives in your hearts. as fresh and green as though it were yesterday. Old wounds are bleeding. The burning iron Of time can not cauterize them. A nation weeps. With solemn tread, they come. Down from the golden slope Of the Pacific, across the rolling prairies

If he could get Steele behind the bars lie would be satisfied. He further told wendrith he had been in 'be army fifteen years, but never more than five years in one troop. Wild was asked what he had TO say TO these statements. He declined 10 answer. saying he was not on trial. Ser gcant Wlndnth was called and reiterated bis statement and identified Wild.

Tile Democrat has white elephant on its persists in inditiag long letters to our neigh Dor, urging the policy of notifying the col ored men that they shan't vote the Demo- crat ticket. Our neighbor tries to hush him up, by telling him it's no use they must "accept the situation" and if any of the celored voters will condescend to give the Democracy ga lift at the polls, it will be better to wink at it and let them vote This kind of mscegenation only makes crazy worse, and he comes back at his OPP ponent like mad bull at 4 gate.

NASHVILLE CONVENTION. NiHTH DAy-JUSE IL. We have heretofore given a sketch Of the pro- ceedings Of this day; but the following sketches of the speeches delivered at the afternoon session may still possess interest; During the discussion on the adoption of the ad- dress to the people Of the South and the United States, Mr.. Coquit. of Georgia, said il indeed tame enough. They in the South have for years been engaged in planning schemes, said Mr.. T., of party ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and il was time for this 10 cease. Men should speak out what they felt, but the rights Of the South should be maintained. He did not know the slave States, If the humblest man in the ranks would not come up and face the poll ticians. lie was willing to leave margin enough incorpo- rated in the report To suit the views of gentlemen who might wish To address the people, but he was for decided measures. He would advise every southern State to the moulding of bullets, casting cannons and filling their arsenas, if need be, in order 10 defend their rights. Was he a disunon- ist! The Union, he would say, could not be de- stroyed; but he was not for tame submission The Union was dear alike to ALL North and South; and if the people Of the North loved the Union as he did, it would be preserved. But eve ry man, woman, and child south OF the Potomac are willing to die for their rights. II seemed that all should resolve themselves into this at last III he knew exactly how to ask for a settlement Of this controversy, and he could get what he 30 de- sired, the Almighty knows he would ask for just that much and no more. Mr.. Colquitt illustrated his position by humorous stories, in substance that fellow in Gahad had purchased new pair of gallows, and had watched Tor an opportunity to display them at muster therefore he pretended he wanted to fight, in order to get u chance to pull of his coat. 1t however turned out that he got whipped.

readers will recOllect an account published in these columns about six months ago, of lucky Fort Edward, IN. Y. milliner, to whom her atfian- cied lover, q young English nObleman, had left the marvellous fortune of sew enteen million dollars. We further stated that she had gone to London to look after the little bequest, but were unable at that time to give her full name. for the reason that her friends in this city requested us not to do so, until after her return. She has come back, after seeing that everything was all right in the English courts, and has been waiting all this time on the action of those courts which have been trying to etaside the will. They have. however, abandoned the at tempt. and little news item in the New York World of Tuesday tells us that she has been informed by her agent in London that an installment of S.. 900, 600 of the snug little bequest will be forwarded to her the present month. We are, of course, now at liberty to give something of her history. She halls from Glover, Vermont, and is the niece of Mr.. Daniel Gay, of that town. Those who knew her in this city say she is quite a sensible girl, and not at all likely to be upset by this staggering freak of fortune. The story of her Acquaintance with the young Englishman is known to but few in this country. He came here to recruit his failing health, and while wondering among the pleasant re- treats along the Hudson, they met and low, d, but a rapidly failing health called him back to his friends in Eng land, where about a year ago he died, having first proved his affection by leaving her his vast wealth. She, however, steadily attended to her business, that of catering to the fash ions of the ladies of Fort Edward, un- til called to London by the attorneys of the estate. Now, with more than a princely fortune, she will probably give up her business, and we shouldn't be surprised if her trace became pop ular with ambitious, young ladies, for few years to come, and perhaps with some of
