There was in exceedingly largo gathering at Magnolia Cemetery yesterday, thc anniver? sary of tho death or Stonewall Jackson, observ? ed in this city and throughout tho. South as Memorial,L)ay. From throe P. M. until up to the very moment of tho beginning of tho cere? monies al half-past ?ive P. M., the trains ot the South Carolina and Northeastern Railroads, Graham's line of omgjbuses and private velli? dos emptied their passengers at the Fork of tho Road, whilst hundreds trudged to the spot on foot. The avenue loading to tho grounds was full of conveyances and pedestrians, the ladies generally carrying their tokens, in wreaths of evorgreon and artificial and real flowers. The moss-covered voluntary contribution boxes, at the junction of tho roads insido the enclosure of the cemetery, received offerings from nearly every person who went in. A well known colored man drove his carriage up to the gate, pulled off his hat, walked reverently to the boxes and put in his contribution, and as respectfully retired. TEDS BTJBIAL GROUND Had been put in excellent order, and with the neat row of white marble headstones ol uni? form size, set in a hedge of orange and cacina, presented a beautiful appearance. On the north side of the hedge a platform was erect? ed, on which was a reading desk. The whole dais was covered with moss, crowned with ( ar lands of laurel. Inside of the burial ground the flowers and wreaths were gathered to? gether, while outside numerous ladies bore crosses, wreaths and mottoed tokens on their arms. At the appointed hour, the venerable John Bachman, D. JD., who arrived some time pre? vious, arose and said lhat the ceremonies would begin with the reading of a touching ode, from the pen of the girted aud lamented Henry Timrod, which he composed for a pre? vious celebration of the association. The first line, "Sleep sweetly in your humble grave," will recall to mind the one referred to. Dr. Baohman had read but the first stanza, when he found that be was unable to continue on account of failing s'ght. By request ot the ladies of the association, Mr. F. W. Miller, of THE NEWS, took the doctor's place ind conclu ded rho reading ol the ode, which was then sung by an impromptu choir, consisting of the board, the scholars of the widow's homo', and several gentlemen present. At the conclusion ol the singing, Dr. Bachman offered the follow? ing appropriate PB AV EB. almighty and Everlasting God, the ?rise Creator, the Benevolent Benefactor, and the never-failing friend of all the children of men, Thou rulest tn the Heavens above and on the cartu beneatb, Thou art acquainted witta all ttae actions of our lives and the motives by which ws are actuated. We beseech Thee to direct us in all our thoughts and acto on this solemn occasion. We pray that we may be Influ? enced by tho spirit of our blessed Master, who sym? pathized with the mourner and wept at the grave of a friend We thank Thee that Thou bust implanted in our souls the love of country, and hast honored those who fought for then: liberties, tliotr fire? sides and their homos, and that j hou hast not denied us the mournful privilege of shedding tears.pf sorrow over the graves of the r croie dead and of mixing monuments to their virtues and worth?, forgive us, Ol God, if aught in our con? duct thiB day, should evidence our discontent with the decrees of Provider ce, or cause a murmur to escape our lips, at the disappointments and the sor? rows which we have experienced. Whilst we mourn over our sad losses, may we use the language ol sub mission, "Not our will, Ol God, tut Thine be done.' Whilst we embalm in our memories, and engrave upon our hearts, the virtues ot our loved and depart? ed ones who have fallen In the defence of our liber? ties, may we look up to our Heavenly Eather, and beseech him, through Jesus Christ our Saviour, to enable us to bear these losses with submission, trust snd hope. And Almighty Father whilst we this day place garlands upon the monuments of the lallen heroes, may we honor their memories by attending to the wants of the surviving widows and orphans. .Euable us to find bornes and the means of educat'on for those whom they have left to the cold world's charl tiiv. li tel ut?, '"ord, lesions of forgiveness o ward . hhoM? who were our enemies.

During the singing of the following ode, ritten for tho ocoassion by Mrs. E. B. Chees orough, the graves were strewn with the arlands: DE, OOKPOSED FOB THE OCCASION BT MISS E. B. OHEESBOBOUOH. Not with ?olden banners flying. Not with martial pomp and pride, Oome we here to weave bright chaplets, For tbe loved who bled and died; lhere is a softer music sighing, There ls a Badder undertone, As we wave Love's holy censer O'er the dead we call our own. Our own, for us they battled, They climbed Wat's crimson slope, Then died-died in the struggle, Gazing ou the star of Hope; Now through all our sadden'd Southland bounds the plaint "nevermore;" Rachel weeping tor her children, Bleeping on the Eden shore. Sleeping by ibe crystal river Sleeping in Death's tranquil calm Sleeping whe^ e the angels softly Chant seraphic, holy psalm; Let them sleep; seat is their guerdon, Sweetly tleep-Life's battle's o'er; They have won bright palms Immortal On the everla ting shore. Memory sings in choral muslo The story of their Fame, As she writes in golden letters bach hero's honored name; And Love weaves coronals ol beauty, While Faith looks upward to the sales, And Hope wipes with tender mercy The tears from Sorrow's eyes. On a beautiful floral and evergreen cross in he centre of the cemetery, where the mona aent is to be erected as soon as funds can be ibtained, was placed the following ode by Mrs. tdams, of Athens, Ga., wife of the Rev. W. H tdams, of the Circular Church, Meeting-sUeet OUB SOLDIEB DEAD. Ve stand beneath the drapery of Got! 1 The bannered sky, with arching light, doth shed ive's quivering sunlight o'er the silent sod, We bow beneath with God-God and our Dead I Ve may not crest the victor's haughty brow With trophied bays wbioli Triumph's hand hath bound, "he conquered twine but dark wreaths as they bow. And leave the Croas o'er those whom God hath crowned. the vaulted tky, involved in azure light, Hove ?ls, in fragile beauty, each cloud-wreath, ls tho' no writhing heart knew Woe's wild night, No life slept in its martyrdom beneatb, )bl soldiers of the south, who dreamlets sleep I Ye whose proud brows in majesty ne low; Ter whose high record Glory's star gleams eweep, Whoas toaes ring baok .your firm and deathless vow I iVo leave you, silent heroes, with a tear, The pledge of deep and sleepless memory proud ; }f Fame Immortal, borne on Love's low bier; Of hves whose stainless honor knew no cloud. We Dart, oh soldier dead, with our dark tide, chanting tbe mournful minstrelsy of love, rill the wild thunder-thrill which wakes the dead Conjoins ns in eternal bonds above t Besides decorating tbe graves in the Memo? rial ground, about six hundrod and fifty in number, the graves of the fallen brave in other parts of the Cemetery were carefully and taste? fully decked in the early part of the day. It iras estimated that there was no leos than three thousand persons present, principally ladies, who were enabled to be present through the kindness of the officials of the South Caro? lina and Northeastern Railroad, and Graham's Dmnibus line, all of which fnrnirhad ample oe oommodations, up to a tate hour, to visitors and others interested in going to and returning from the grounds. Save the absence of the poet orator, who waa expeoted to be present, the ceremonies were complot ol y carried out, and add another link to : the golden ohain of memories which binds the past to the present. The graves of fallen Confederates in private cemeteries in tho city were not neglected, and received their share of floral remembrance. Th? scholars ot the Widows' Hom? deserve much orsdit for tho beautiful wreaths and gar? lands they contributed for the oaossion. la b. n< tt cj ei ai tl ti li ii a a Ci e t< a o c o THE MONUMENTAL FAIR Xas patronized by a full and fasbionablo audionco last evening.

M. W. ARNOLD, Of the Georgia Conference. DOOLY COUNTY, GA , April, 1867. This is to certify that ? was confined to the house, and most of thc tl tr. o to my bed, and buffering the greatest agony imaginable with Rheumatism, for five months, and after trying every available reme? dy, with no relief, I was cured with two bottles of Dr. O.
