At last the lime is drawing near wheSi the people of Oconee will be able lo view the visible token of love and honor to tho Confederate dead of this county. The shaft bas been erected lu Walhalla and now stands veiled at the intersection of Malu and College streets, amt will remain thus until the 2 1st day of July, on which dato, if present plans are carried out, this handsome memorial lo the Con federate dead of Oconee will be un veiled. The selection of that dale is pe culiarly appropriate. lt was on the 2 1st day of July, 1861, that the com panies mustered hilo the service of tho Confederacy from Oconee (then Dickens District) engaged ill their llrst battle. They were In the front ranks at First Manassas on that date, and though they had seen con siderable service in skirmishes and minor battles during the short time that they bad been at the front, and though they saw more severe service during the four years of that long und bloody conflict, the 2 1st. of July was In reality the Initiation of Oco lice's soldiers into thc hardships and trials of hattie. Oconee furnished three companies for the war, though al the beginning they were enlisted for only twelve months. These companies were the First, under Capt. F. W. Kilpatrick; Second, under Capt. F. N. Garvin, Jr., and the Third, under Capt. Jas. ('? ri fd ll. All of these did valiant ser vice for the cause of the Confede racy, and lhere were no helter sol diers in the ranks (han those who went lo the Iront front old Oconee. They were In thc thick of tho light nt ih.v beginning of thc war. and to the end were found ready to do and dare for t heir conni ry. il ls indeed fitting that this hand some memorial should have the veil drawn and that its graceful out lines should he thrown open lo public view on this the auniver sar> ol' the day on which Oco nee's soldiers were initialed Into I he four years' struggle for the cause of tho South, which they nobly helped to defend, and from which, though (hey were defeated, they emerged more than conquerors. ii ls to be hoped Dial all arrange ments can he perfected to have the unveiling take place on the 2 1st of July. Plans are under way and will he pushed energetically lo have everything in readiness on thal date, livery citizen of Oconee ought lo be Interested In this token of love and rex crenel' for thc men of our coun Irj who went to the front, and cere monies befitting Hie occasion of Ute unveiling should appeal to the patri otism of citizens far and near. > Over on Changa Creek.

Lara, Qodoy and Chavarrla, have occasion ed some temporary alarm among the adherents of the government. President Madrlz to-day deemed it advisable to Issue an ofllcinl denial of these reports, and at the same time lie intimated that if tho govern ment had only the Insurgents to deal with, ll would have crushed tho revo lution long ago. In his statement the President says: "The report of (Jen. Chavarrla's defeat ls absolutely false. For purely military reasons his column, which was operating against llama, was or dered to fall back on Muelle de Los Bouyos, where lt arrived to-day in perfect order with all military stores. Owing to the difficulty of transport ing provisions lo the troops operat ing at Blucfields. because of the heavy rains, Hen. Lara and Godoy's columns were ordered to retire on Fl Adtuendro. "Our military position ls entirely advantageous, as results will very shortly show. If Bluoflelds were only defended by the revolutionists we would have captured lt long ago."
