The Kershaw Gazette. BY FRANK P. BKABD. Kershaw Couuty, 8. C? WEDNESDAY, (MAY 20, MEMORIAL DA Y la &mong (he h&llowcd Jays of the year, And especially so to sll thocc who chcriah the ?acred memory of the aa?l lost" of Carolina's gallant none ; the young and brave who fought, bl?d and died in her holy cauae. The ceremony of May 11th will be umon^r the embalmed memories of the eitiaenn of Camden, whose dead rest ia the ccmctery and ou distant fields?noble souls ' who* at thei" country's call, "rushed to gt'>ry, and iht 9r?*?'" It w a beautiful ceremony, adopted by the fair daughters of our land, to decorate with "flowers, sweet flower*, that aeitherspia nor toll," whose little lives are one perpetual smile, the sod where softly lie aad sweetly sleep the forms of their loved ones?feth ers, husbands, blethers aud the heart'* fond idol ; dlen who ia arms excelled?stern pa triots, readiest champions to vindicate the honor of the State?-men toward whom, "When mastered to the gathering horn, "The northern chieftain curled his lip with scorn ; "And when they feinted in their forced retreat, "Tracked the snow-drifts with their bleed ing feet." Beautiful, indeed, is the custom to deek with emblematic flowers the chambers of our dead, "when spring comes laughing in with flowers and fragrance floats from every tree.' This pleasant but sad ceremony was hon ored by a lavgs conoourse of citisena on Monday afternoon of last week, who assem bled at the Cemetery at G o'clock. Meeting fa front oft he entrance, they wore formed in procession under the direction of M^j. W. Z. Leitner, acting as Marshall ; and, prc ceeded by Ihe Caetdea Corr?t Rand, were marched to the stand which had been erec ted near the home* of the departed. Prayer was offered by Rev 8. H. Hay, an appropri ate ode sang by a cheir of ladiex and gentle men, and an interestiag address delivered by Capt. James. M. Davis, who bad been chos en by the Ladies' Momorial aAssociatiou for that purpose. Among others, the following is one of the beautiful odea sung on the occa sion and rendered with pleasing offect : Beautiful feet with maidenly tread, Offerings bring to the gallant dead. Footsteps light preee the sacred sod Of souls untimely ascended to Qod, Bring Spring flower* in fragrant perfume, And offer sweet prayers for ? merciful doom. Beautiful hands, to deck the graves Above the dust ef the Southern Brases; Here was extinguished their manfy ire, Bather than flinch from the Northman's ire. Bring Spring flowers, the laurel and roee, And deek your defenders' place of reposs. k^Uod; hey feB te nave But little they'll care if ye love tbeir graves. Bring ftpring flowers with tear* aad praise, Aad chant o er their tombe your grateful . . > ieye. Beaptlful tribute at valor'* shrine, Wretthi that fond ones lovingly twine; Let llM whole world their Mhee despiae, Thoee whom they cherUhed with heart, hand ."?> ? and eyes Will bring Spring flower* an J bow the hend, And pray for the noblo Confederate Dead. Tlio display of floral offerings i..v the la dies was abundant and rich in c^uty? gathered from the numerous parteries of oort aliens j whilothe delicate "field Sow ers, thsteo meetly seem nan's frailty to portray," breathed forth their votive fra grance to hallow the scohe. To the graves beneath theee fragrant flowers will wander our tendereet thought*, and when these flow ers ire dead, the leave* all Ihded and odors fled, even then the memories of the tenants of death's narrowJiOnse will be green in our hearts; for oaoh year's returning 8pring will be nighty to restore these sacred em blems of the love borne for "the gallant Con federate dead," and again will theihir hand? of lovely woman "Cover the hearts that have beaten no high, "Beaten with hopes that were doomed but to die, "Hearts that have burned in the heat of the f?ay, ? ? Hearts that have yearned for the homes far away." After the address and the singing of the ode?, with music by the band, the benedio* tion was premouneed by Rev. Mr. Mils*, and the assembled crowd dispersed, tearing a few ?tnd one* at ill lingering at the graves. BLRSKF.R, OUSNfCO.

An examina tion ?u then haul, and at the noxxle of the pip4 It wm found to be spiked with a 20d nail and a small piecc of wood, which wert> driven in ao securely that it wai impossible for the pressure of water to dislodge it, and in consequence thereof it caused tho burst ing and total loss of one hundred feet of hose, rendering it uritirely unfit for farther use. New hose was ordered immediately, and it is hoped it will not be long before we receive it. This is most assuredly, Mr. Editor, one of the greatest outrages ever committed upon the citizens of our community, and if the guilty parties can be found out they should be punished to the full extent of the law.

The boarding-house keepers of Washing ton arc beginning to speculate as to the time when Congress will adjoufn, aad arc deplor ing the approach of the heated term, when tiiC members, with their small Army of fol lowers in the persons' of relative?", lobbyists, and advent ur ers generally, will return to their respective homes to report to their sovereigns, the people of their severs 1 con gressional district*. There are some who eredit a sossion advancing oven into the month of August ; but that is quite improba ble. There is certainly no good reason why the present Congress should not dispose of all necessary Business, and adjourn, by the latter part of June, at furthest. TUB WHITK HOl'SK WKDDINO.

Heing rather pretty, and, withal, modest and well behaved, the Pre*k|ent's danghter 1ms the best wishes ofeverybody, not withstanding the fact that her riding with her affianced, on several ooeamons, down the avenue, behind a fonr-inhand turnout, has exeited considern ble eritieism. It is generally conceded, however, that this was more to gratify an Knglish notion on the part of her lover, Mr. Sartoria, than her own inelinstlons. At any rate, when driving alone as she had fre quently done, she had been content with sn ordinary baaket phaeton, drawn by one of tbe ugliest and lasiost of her fathers stuil.

The question of the validity of the amend ment ot the Code which uu passed in Feb ruary, 1H73, and which was pocketed by the Governor, and kepi pocketed until the first day of the lost regular session of the Gener al Assembly, when it was approved, catne up iu several casus, which were argued to get h er. Judge Melton argned the case against the validity of the amendment, and was met by a formidable array of counsel consisting of Messrs. C. I). Melton, Kion and Green. The result of the case was, that the Judge vetoed the Governor's approval.

Fegotiations are in progress which will result in a peaceful dispersing of the mob* Baxter lias issued a congratulatory address to his adherents. ? - Latkr.?Both houses have passed a bill for a constitutional convention on the 14th of July. Brook's forces hnvo surrendered, and will be sent home. Claims against Moses have been greatly depreciated in consequence of the effort to throw him into bankruptcy. It is thought hy many that the whole thing ia an effort on his rfWn part under cover, and that his ob ject is to get rid of his debts on terms run dered favorable by this proceeding. It is thought here that ho must bfte a deal of money hid somewhere. A Southern paper says that General For rest, "the brilliant Confederate cavalry load er," is now engaged in hauling wood to Mem phis, driving the team himself, And adds : "Forrest is no less a nobleman in his new occupation than be w.ts when gallantly charging at the head of his troops in battle." The following sentence we clip from the Wlnnsboro A>tc?: "Judge Mackey passed the following sentenoe on Alex. Wuidley, con victed of burglary : -You have beeu found guilty of an offence for which you might be ?cnt to the Penitentiary for thirty years. The Court will sentence you, however, to only one year. If you are convicted again you will be sentenoed to twenty year?, if a third time, to thirty y*ara. If you arc convicted a fourth tim??, you wiU then have become eligible to a seat in the Legis lature."
