The Conquered Banner. Furl that banner?for 'tis weary. Hound its staff 'tis drooping dreary ; Furl it?fold it?it is best, g< For there's not a man to Aravo it, 'And there's not a sword to save it, And there's not one to lave it In the" blood which heroes gave It, And its foes now scorn and brave it. Furl it, fold it?let it rest. Take-that banner down ; Mis tattered, - Broken in its staff and shattered, And the valiant hosts are scattered, Oror whom it floated high. /TOh; 'tis hard for us to fold it, Hard to think there's none to hold it, HaraVthat thoso who once unrolled it, Now must furl it with a sigh. Furl that banner?furl it Badly; Once ten thousands hailed it gladly, And ten thousands wildly, mailly Swore that it should forever wave, Swore that fooman'o sword could never, Hearts like their's disaster, Till, that flag should float forever, O'or their freedom cr their gravo. Furl it?for tho hands thatrgrasped it, And the hearts that fondly clasped it, Cold and dead are lying low; A~ad that banner, it is trailing, While around it sounds the wailing Of its people in their woo. For, tho' conquered,.they adoro it? Lo! the bold doad hands that borest; Weep for thoso who fell before it, Pardon those who trailed aud tore it; But oh! wildly they deplore it Now, who furl and fold it so. Find that banner ; true 'tis gory, For 'tis wreathed around with.gloiy, And 'twill live in song and story, Though its folds are in tho. dust; * "Tor ita fame on brightest pages, Penned by poots and by sages, Shall go sounding dow^ tho ages, Furl its folds though now we must. Furl that banner? softly, slowly; Treat it gcutly, it is holy. For it droeps above the dead. Touch it not, unfold it never, Let it droop thero, furled forever, For its people's hopes arc dead. Love and Respect.?-The olhpr eve? ning, whilo attonding a theatrical per? formance in this" city, some allusion was made by an actor to t: Tho Flag," and instantaneously a trcmondous cheer went np from the Federal soldiers pi-csont. Not tho wild highland voll of our old Confederates, but tho measured English choor of the North. It brought to our mind m&nf memorios of tho pat>t, and ' suggested Bomo fow thoughts on [tho pres? ent. "VVb^en last lizard?said swift recol? lection?this cheer of men in bluo came up from tlrt$ plateaus of jVfauassas and in front of Yorktown trenches, front* nil along McClellan's rattiiug lino and out ol Chickahominy's bloody tanglos. Yes, and then, too?was quickly added?the fierco battle yoll of tho South roso to '?rieot it?for in thoso days it was tho Srst scream of tho oaglo and then tho stroke of his*flashing beak. Tho Bonnie Bluo Flag had its friends thou, and not seldom, when" this cheer was heard, did -its stars shine with tho brighter lus? tre. With the thought, camo such a t?do of fond romcmbranco that in ita own des? pite, we forcod our mind away. Thero is but one flag now, said solemn duty, and you are sworn to support it. Those men fovo that flag?they h^vo fought for it-* they cheer it?and thoy are right, for you know that you loved your own gallant bannor ere Appomattox pulled it down. Looking at the mattor in this light, every bitterness evoked by that shout exultant passed away. It is natural? is it not?that the North should lovo the 'flag, and sufficient?is it not?that tho South should rcspoct and support it ? With this understanding, tho fluttor of its folds will awake no rancor among- us ?the sound of its cheering stir up no bitter blood. Sentiment is a weak thing for nations to rely on, but principle can weld tighter than steol. Affectiouato de? votion we have not?look to sorao other generation for that?but trust us for the uttormost farthing of our sworn duty? for respect in peace and maintenance in war. [Augusta Constitutionalist. -o Georgia and the War.?Tho State of Georgia furnished, during tho war, 120, 000 men to the Confederate army, includ? ing 15,000 militia summoned to tho dc fonce of Atlanta. Tho following are tho whereabouts and employments of somo of the leading officers. Lieut. Gen. John B. Gordon, a Iawor of acknowledged ability, is practicing his profession atAtlanta. Brig. Gen. William T. Wofford, of Cass County, a strong Union man up to ac? tive hostilities in the field, is running for Congress. Major-Gen. Joseph E. Wheclor, tho dis? tinguished cavalr}' officer, is in tho com? mission business at Augusta. Brig. Gen. Lucius J. Gartroli is prac? ticing law at Atlanta. He-resigned his seat in tho Federal Congress and went into the field to fight against tho Gov? ernment as Colonel of tho 7th Georgia Infantry, lie is now a candidate for Congress. 1 Brig. Gen. George E. Anderson is in tho auction and commission business at Atlanta. Brig. Gen. Henry L. Burning in at home iu Columbus, practicing law. Brig. Gen. Phil. Cook is practicing law at Oglethorpe, and was a delegate, in the Into convention. Ho commanded a brig? ade in Leo's army. Whilo being paroled, tho following took placo : General Cook ?Major,I'U be hanged if I want to take any oath." The Major?"You know tho conditions, sir." Cook?"Yes, I'll sub? scribe to the obnoxious in?ti ument; but, by all that's good, if I had every man in the Yanl'.co army in a fort, r.nd that fort was mined, I'd touch it off and send them all to glory." Gen. Cook m a candidato for Congress. Major-Gonoral Gilmcr is f.t his home in Savannah, doing nothing. IIo was a graduate of West Point. Major-General Howoll Cobb, Secretary of the Treasury under James Buchanan, is at Macon. Major-General liobort Toombs is?no one kuows where lie i3 a fugitive, and is supposod to bo in Cuba. Lieutenar.t-Gcnoral ilardoo is at home in Savannah. Major-Gcnoral McLaw is at Augusta, doing nothing. Brigadier-General Evans is at Cuth bert, practicing law. Brigadiei'-Genoral John K. Jackson is at Augusta, practicing law; and Briga dior-Goneral Henry 11. Jackson is at Sa? vannah. -c> Cease Firing at that Officer.?Tho Montgomery, Alabama, Mail, dwelling upon the Tact that Southerners generally prefer their soldiers to represent them in Congross and elsewhere, says: "To vote for such men is not to hurl de? fiance at tho conqueror, but -rather to exercize the privilege of complimenting gallant men, withoutathoughtwhotherit may or juury not pleaeo tho conqueror. Tho true conqueror is not only dovoid of jealousy, but is willing to share his moal and couch w:th tho vanquished. Ho has learned to honor his prisoner from tho electric sympathy which is always gene? rated by bullets and bayonets. "At Rich Mountain, a gallant South Carolinian, in c?mmar;d of a section of ar? tillery, had fought his guns well, until he had not men left to work thu:n. Our lines wero* broken, ar.d tho enemy wa^. dashing upon him. A shell dismounted one of his pieces, killed hi^ horso under him, and shattered his right arm. Gain? ing hiy fee t, the gal h.nt fellow mounted his remaining gun, and standing erect as it dashed away under a shower of bullots, shook "his sword at tho enemy with his loft hand. Just at this moment, an order camo- sharp and clear from tho Federal lino, "Coaso firing at that officer!" Such a spoclaclo of ardent valor drew a sponta? neous shout of applausG oven from his mortui foe. As it yas thon^so will it he hcroaftor. When "tho fanatics of tho j North abuse tho men who considered it i their duty to oboy tho mandate of their State, an universal shout will come from i the truo Union men of the North, ' Coase , firing at that officer.!'" Generous Sentiments.?Gen. Grant thus writes in responso to an invitation to attend a mooting of tho "Union Commis? sion," in tho city of New York: "How? ever wo may havo differed from our Southern brethren in tho events of the la?t four years, wo havo now becomo ?no people, and with but one interest"? "whatever is calculated to increase tho ..friendship and brotherly foeling botwecn tho two sections of our country I hoartily approve of." Tho Richmond Whig commenting on tho foregoing extract from tho lettor of Gen. Grant appiopriatcly observes: It is a striking feature in tho dovolop ment of Northern scutimont, that thoso who liavo horno tho most prominent and most successful part in restoring tho Southern Statcti to tho Union, are thoso now most in fa^Or of hoaling tho lacera? tions of war, of soothing woundod sensi? bilities and re-uniting tho peoplo of tho two sections in tho bonds of harmonious brotherhood. Thoso who advocate vin dictivo and humiliating measures are, for tho most part, the mon who neither ex? posed their lives nor contributed thoir services in tho cause of the Union. They can only be likened to that wretched class who prowl about tho fields of slaughter 1 when all danger is over, to plunder the doad and to slay and rob tho wounded. Gen. Sherman fitly compared them to old Jack PalstafF, who feigned death while the fight wan going on, but at its conclu? sion, boro off tho body of tho gallant Percy, elain by Prince Hal, to socuro the "reward of valor." -O-: An Ex-Rebel Letter.?Tho following is a specimen of many others: "A good-natured cx-rcbel soldier writes to tho editor of a paper in North Carolina,: "Like you, I am a Southerner?my homo was in the South, my kindred, my friends, my interests, were all hero, and being as? sured that I was right, I ontered the ar? my. Tho logic of cold iron, condensed into ten-inch shells and other convenient forms for administering, has proved the contrary; havivg nothing more persua? sive than they, I acquiesce, have taken tho oath and (suddon chango or not) intond' to keop it." -?> t A mociical journal says that singlo wo? men havs the headache more than mar | rted onef:. That may be; but don't mar [ ried men havo the headache more than I single ones ? The True Spirit. Wo'-extrHcl the concluding portion of Liout-Govcrnor Porter's address to tlio Legislature, as breathing the noblest feel? ing uud purest patriotism in roferenco to our present condition : "The past is fixed boj-ond rocall. "Wo cannot alter it, but wo may learn from its teachings, if wo aro wiso to improve the occasion. It is with tho present and fu? ture that we havo to deal. It docs not pertain to my office to suggest measures for your consideration, but I may be per ? mitred to say a word or-two in relation to tho spirit and temper in which we should deal with our proscrit exigencies. "Wo should, of course, realize our new sit? uation in its full extent, and also realize that what may be right and proper in re? lation to one condition of things may not j n^cssarily bo oithcr right or proper in re? lation to another and a different condition of-things. The great obstacles we have to encounter are in our prido and preju? dices?in feelings and opinions that aro traditional with us, and have' grown to bo a part of our second naturo. The question of honor or dishonor in any par? ticular case must bo resolved by oach in? dividual for himself. It depends upon the mind, tho intent, tho purpose It de? pends much, too, upon tho relative situa? tion ofpurtios. Thorc may bo moro dis? honor in requiring and enforcing a condi? tion than in accepting and submitting to it. Uetween victor and vanquished he is most magnanimous who rises to the high? est levels of tho occasion, and best^atis- j fics the requirements of honor, self-res? pect, truthfulness and gonerosity. But certainly he who acta welt his p%rtin ad? verse circumstances must comruand res? pect, and need not feel humiliation; Es? pecially now in practical mat tors, should wo guard against an obstinato adherence to theory without sufficient regard to new facts and conditions. For example, wo havo renounced slavo labor and ac? cepted free labor. Lot us not condemn the latter in advance?lot us not pre? judge its failure. This is the way to in? sure failure. Lot us givo it fair play and deal with it liko men who aro deter- ] mined that it ."hall succeed. This is the; way to insure success. Our own interest and tho intorest of those whose lot i? cast with us, the happiness and prosperity of our State depend upon our grappling With this groat industrial problom in good faith and with a brave, choorful, confident and determined spirit. Tho worlc of re? creation is in our hands, and if wo shall succeed in building up anew 'our waste placc8and in laying tho suro foundations of a lanjo and orduring prosperity, thefc blessings of those who come after us will rest upon our names. . "Ourpcoplo have pledged Itncw their faith to tho Government of tho United Statos. This is** matter of honor and they will woll and truly rodeem their faith. Thoso who doubt them do not know them. They havo bo?n brave in the Avar and will bo true in poaco. To affect enthusiasm now would bo a hollow mockery, tho basest of hypocricies. It cannot bo cxpocted of them. They have their griefs and their memories. "These aro sacred and arc ontitlod to respoct and cannot be taken from them, but they will not suffer thorn to como in conflict with their duties. All they ask in roturn is a truth and a faith commen? surate with their own. And so may be laid the foundations of a confidence that will bo firm and enduring, and will ripen in time into that good will, esteom and harmony that can alone mako a Govern? ment a blessing, and a peoplo contontod \ and happy.", ? From the Richmond Times. Fashion begins to ro-assort its ompiro in the South. During tho war a man, was deemed fortunato if ho owned a couple of fig bushes, for then ho was suro of having his family provided with a suit of primitive clothes as good as that worn by our first parents, if things camo to tho worst. Alon and women did not care much what they wore, so they woro some? thing. Nor was the stylo or cut of gar? ments much rogarded, for thoro was a sort of carnival of old clothes. It was not uncommon to meet a gentleman with a coat or pantaloons which looked as if they had been cut out with a broad axe, and nailed togothcr hurriedfy by a rough carpenter. Tho patterns, too, were as strongly spicod with variety as well as with tho odor of groat antiquity. Tho old swallow-tail and shad-belly coat, (which is thought by many to bo tho stylo worn by Noah when he hai-angucd tho antediluvians oh tho probabilties of j an nnprccented freshet), was oxhumcd j and restored to general favor. Trow scrs mado in tho good old-fashioned way, with an apron or sort of drop-curtain in 1 front, were brought to light by venerable and respectable gontlcmen, who havo never been satisfied with modorn innova? tions in dress, and for a long time battled stubbornly against them. Hats, not in? aptly designated as camp-kettles, stove? pipes and bco-gtim3 by many soldiers of Leo's aruij, whenover thoy encountered the luckless wearer and called upon him c;to como out of it," wero very provalent among sobcr-sidod civilians; coon-skins and 6kull-caps of a strange and uniquo model, wero worn in bold and uttor dofi anco of all previous prppriotios of fashion. The iadios of the South exhibited a (Similar spirit in yielding to tlio nceossi- j tics of tho times. The distensions of crinoline were neglected, and our dames j and damsels looked a3 lovely and attrac? tive in homo-spun find linscys, as they i ever, douo in silks and satins. Bonnets of tho coal scuttle, gig-top and chicken-coop typo, fossils of fashion 'which woro the prido and glory of the ElizSbcthian age, wcro drawn forth from dusty closets'and old-time band-boxes, and wore conscribed, and forced into service. Shoes, which wore regular clcd-knockers and boctle crushers, covered tender toes and well turned ankles, which had been used -to the finest calf-skin and most dclicato mo? rocco. There was eminent good sense and g$bd-flfsto in all this, and wo hope that the lessons of wisdon and economy inculcated by tho war, will not be forgot? ten now at its conclusion. No people can loss afford to be extrav? agant or foolishly fashionablo than wc. "Wo hope that the despotism of'fashion, and- its ruinous expenditures, will nover again bo exorcisod over our people. If our ladies choose to indulgo in tho harm? less and inexpensive little vanities of "water-falls" and "rats and mico," so well and good. But wo hopo tho timo will never come again, when a now dross will be needed every week and a new bonnet ovory Sunday. As for the male speci? mens of humanity, it is perhaps fortunate that they will hereafter hav^o work eo hard for giving, that they will not have time or disposition to play fop or dandy" any more. Wo are wot aoxious to see j exaggerated representations of cither tbc I London cockney or tho Broadway dandy I on the strcots of this city, except as a cu? riosity for the .study and amusement of our people. Whenever such a biped docs make his appearance habilitated as the fashion plates represent certain specimens of humanity who illustrate tho latest "fall and winter fashions," he will boeomo a subject of curious and most interesting i study for those sunburnt, manly and no blo Southern youth who still wear the grey habiliments, which are so eloquent in thrilling reminiscences of what now bclo&gs to history. A Card From "P. W. A."?Wo take groat pleasure in laying before our read? ers tho following card of ??r. Alexander, hoping that it will fall into the hands of somo ono who may bo able to aid hinr in the work which ho proposes: Porsona interested in the history of the late war, who havo military orders and maps, placos of campaigns, battled and sieges, private letters from tho army, Con? gressional documents, and messages of the Pr?sident and Governors of the South? ern States, would confer a great favor, besides contributing somewhat to vindi? cation of#io truth of history, by sending them^to mo at this place. The Confeder? ate archives and rocords were either des? troyed or carried to Washington, as -wcro the private papers and memoranda of nearly all tho Southern commanders. Hcnco tho necessity of this appeal to tho officers and soldiers of tho?? Confederate army and navy, and citizens generally. Letters aro also solicited from parties possesing important information touch? ing our late unfortunato struggle, and from prisoners who wcro confined at the North. Letters, packages, &c., will bo preserved and returnod if desired. P. W. Alexander. Tiiomaston, TJpson county, Ga. ~2 CI12.CtnLA.Ivi. SHELBY, N. C, Not. 15, 18G5.
