man or men who would divide or destroy or | retard the prosperity and progress of the na- \ tion whose corner stone was laid in the blood of ouri fathers one hundred years ago today. Moved by this prejudice, fourteen years ago, I opposed the men who preferred | disunion to death. True to this prejudice I to-day despise the men who would for the sake : of self or party stand in the way of recon- > ciliation and a united country. The distiu-! guished soldier who is your chief guest to-day j never came nearer to the hearts of the people , than when he said "Let us have peace," and, ! sir, the only really belligerent people in the | couutry to-day, North and South, are those j who, while the war lasted, followed carefully j the paths of peace. Do not believe that the ^ light and dirty froth which is blown north- j ward and scattered over the land, oftentimes j for malicious purposes, represents the true ! current of public opiuion at the South. Look to their heroes, their leaders, their Gordons, ! their Lees, their Johnstons, their Lamar, I Ransom and Riplev, and tell me if you 6nd j * . 1 I . . J 1 iu uieir utterance anytmng out renewea loyalty and devotion to a united country. These are the men, as our great and good Governor Audrew told you at the close of the war? these are the men by whom and through whom you must restore the South, instead of the meaner men for whom power is only a synonym for plunder. As I begged you last summer, I eutreat you again, do not repel the returning love of these men by suspicion or indifference. If you cannot in forgiveness "kill the fatted calf," do not with coldness "kill the prodigal." * * * As au American I am as proud of the men who charged so bravely with Pickett's division on our lines at Gettysburg,as I am of the men who bravely met and repulsed them there. Men cannot always choose the right cause, but when having chosen that which conscience dictates, they are ready to die for it, if they justify not their cause, they at least ennoble themselves; and the men who for conscience sake fought against their government at Gettysburg ought easily to be forgiven by the sons of the men who for conscience sake 1 fought against the government at Lexington and Bunker Hill. Oh ! sir, as Massachusetts ! was first in war, so let her be first in peace, and she shall forever be first in the hearts of 1 her countrymen. And let us here resolve ! that true to her ancient motto while in war, ease petit placidam, in peace she demands not only for herself but for every inch of this great country, sub libertate quietam. concord or alamance? In regard to the claim that the battle of Concord was the first armed resistance of the American colonists to British aggression, Mr. James Wood Davidson, formerly of South Carolina, and well known as a gentlomen of ; literary attainments, contributes the following to the New York World: To the Editor of the World:?Sir :?In , your leader yesterday morning on "Local Centennial Celebrations," you speak of the battle of Concord, Massachusetts, on the 19th of April, 1775, as in one sense the natal day of American independence. You define that < "one sense" as "the first armed resistance j made by their (American readers') forefathers . to the aggressions of the power beyond the sea." j My own studies in American history have I not brought me to the same conclusion with < you in regard to this fact. I entirely agree with you as to the "one sense" in which you accept the phrase "natal day of Americau-iudependeuce," because it seems to me that the "first armed resistance" to British troops, rather than the formal in-doors declaration of independence, really marks the birth of the . secession of the American colonies. I have no doubt that immense impetus was given, as Jefferson suggests, to the cause of secession by the Lexington-Concord fight; but ( I neither suppose nor do I imagine that Jef- , ferson believed that that affair was in any ( sense the cause or the occasion or even the beginning of the conflict which resulted in i American independence. I am aware that Peter Parley says that "at Lexington the ! conflict rose but Peter seems to have writ- ' ten his jingle mainly for the delectation of New England youth. The one point of difference between your fact and mine is that I understand that the first armed resistance toook place at a time and in a place different from those about to be celebrated on the 19th of this April. There are three points at which we may put 1 the natal day?when the first armed resistance to the British regular soldiers was made by colonists iu a body ; when the second Con- | tinental Congress, on the 10th of May, 1775, j determined upon armed resistance, and appointed Washington to be "Coraraander-in Chief of all the forces raised or to be raised < for the defense of the coloniesand when the Continental Congress, on the 4th of July, 1776, at Philadelphia, adopted the Declaration of Independence. You accept the first of these. So do I. You cousider the Lexington-Concord skirmish as that first resistance. It seems to me that the skirmishing at Alamance Creek, in Alamance county, N. C., on the 16th of May, 1771, was that first armed resistance made by our forefathers to the aggressions of the power beyond the sea. The skirmish arose in somewhat this way : Governor Tryon at Newbern built him a mausion, costing some $75,000, and levied a tax on his citizens of that Carolina colony to pay the sura. The people formed military companies, called Regulators, for the purpose of resisting the collection of *1"- L/iart A/v*y\r\or\iAr> IHAHA nrmorl IUC UlA'ICVJ, auu iiicoo buiiipauico ucio ai uiuu and drilled. They went into camp at Alamance Creek, and thither the British troops within Tryon's command were sent to disperse them. A skirmish ensued in which the Regulators were defeated \Tith a loss of some three hundred men. Iu the two skirmishes, at Alamance Creek in 1771 and at Lexington and Concord in 1775, the assailants were the same, British regulars; the opponents were the same, organized rebels; the cause was the same, to disperse the rebels and to defeat the opposition ; the results were the same, save that at Alamance Creek the rebels lost three times as many of their number as those at Lexington and Concord lost. The organization of societies to resist British tyranny had been formed a year or two before the Alamance Creek fight. The famous Sons of Liberty, both North and South, were such. The tea affairs both iu Charleston and in Boston had occurred before that time, and it was a year after the British government had sent over troops to keep the colonists in subjection. I raise this historical point, not in a spirit of captiousness, but with the desire to learn what is the truth about the matter.

Jamics Wood Davidson. New York, April 12th. NEWS ITEMS. General Andrew Jackson Hamilton died iu Austin, Texas, on the 12th instant, from the i bursting of a blood vessel, while in a fit of | consumptive coughing. He was prominent: in Texas politics, and in 1859 was elected to ! Congress as a Union man, being a violent opponent of secession. During the war, he held a Major-General's commission in the Federal 1 army, but had no command. In 1865, he was appointed Provisional Governor of Texas, j and was afterward a Judge of the Supreme j Court of that State, and a member of the j convention which framed the present Consti- , tution of Texas. A quarterly circular of failures for the first three months of the year, just issued by Dun,' ? Barlow & Co., of New York, presents a more favorable view of the trade of the country ' than might have been looked for. There is I evidently a wonderful elasticity in our com-! inercial affairs, and a favorable outlook for a ! revival of prosperity. The figures show 1733 ' failures, with gross liabilities of 838,873,000, being only about 873,000 more than one quarter of the amount of the previous year, and nearly 820,000,000 less than for a corresponding period in 1873. At a meeting of ex-Con federate soldiers in Memphis, Tenu., to arrange for decorating the graves of Confederates on May 22, a resolution was unanimously adopted asking all exFederal soldiers to participate iu the ceremonies. Among those present at the meeting were ex-President Jefferson Davis, ex-Governorlsham G. Harris and Generals Colton, Green and Gordon. Col. Edward M. Yerger, who died suddenly in Baltimore on Thursday, was formerly a prominent citizen of Mississippi, and served on the staff of Gen. Breckinridge during the civil war. In June, 1869, he killed, in Jackson, Lieut-Col. Crane of the U. S. Army, because that officer, as acting Mayor, had caused his piano to be seized for the non-payment of taxes levied for street improvements. An pflforf was made to trv Col. Yerp-er for the of fense by a military court, but the question of authority remained undecided until the State came under civil control. He subsequently removed to Baltimore, where he was for some years past proprietor and editor of the Evening Journal. Boston, New York and Baltimore have each received a portion of the new silver coinage. They are presumed to be the firstlings of that coming tentative resumption of specie payments, when the government will pay out coin in small sums, and give us hopes of the day of a more perfect currency by the clinking of silver in our pockets. All the mints in the country are busy with silver coinage, and when the amount on hand reaches eight or ten millions, say about the 4th of July next, the experiment will probably be tried. The Supreme Court of Michigan has decided that the consent of the parties is all that is requisite to make a marriage valid, and that no ceremony is necessary?the same doctrine that has already been laid down in sev- ! eral States. Georgia papers boast of "the ugliest and smartest set of representatives that any State ! will have in Congress." They are represented to be, jointly and severally, physically puny and ugly in a unanimous and awful degree. Jfmantial anil Commercial YORKVILLE. April 28th.?Cotton 11(5114$. None offering.
