The T3rth?dda5F of LVe1-Oration of , .-Gen. Wade Hampton. , The celebration of the birthday of General Lee at Savannah was an .im posing affair. ? The day was observed- a a gcueral holiday. The volunteer* com panies turned out in full force, and vv'tre reviewed by Genends Hampton, Kcr sbaw, Johnston, Ltwton and. Jackson. The Johnston Light infantry escorted General Wade Hampton to the theatre, where the oratipn ,w?s ?to JTe iJelAdred. Af(.er. tdioj applausey consequent upon bis introduction had subsidcd/jcneral llamp ton said : Once again, and f r the last time, I seem placed on duty in tho service of my old commander, and the voice that sum mons mo here, waking many of the proudest though saddest emotions of my heart, cemes from the tomb of hu\\ho, though Vdead,;yct bpeaketh." In reference ,to the history of the war he paid : Kot until the heat of passion; the mists of prejudice and the venom of bate, which have su deeply stained American annais during the laid; decade, have sub sided, can the true story of this last great revolution be given to the world. Thon will the impartial historian be called on to tell with what heartfelt reluctance the bonds, no longer fraternal, which bou?d her to that Union she hau ao largely aided to make, and threw off a govern ment which her wisdom had mainly formed, and which her patriotism and her genius had so {'really illustrated. He then proceeded t? give a full and complete account of General Lee's illua ; trioua career. Of the gallantry and 'Christian forbearance and patriotism of General Lee's nature j he said : "When standing by tho grave which had just b?en closed ovdrj tiur dreat cap tain, President Davis, Mpjlo ^ying/*a<; noble tribute f to his memory, referred to this part of his military career in the following language: "When Virginia joined the Confederacy, Kobert Lec, the highest officer in tho little arniy of Vir ginia, came to Richmond, and not paus ing td inquire what won hi be his rank in tho service of the. Confederacy,- went to Western Virginia utider.tlU belief that he was still an otficer of the State. He came back carrying the heavy weight of defeat, und unappreciated by tho people whom he served, for they could not know as I know, that if his plans and orders bad been carried.out, the result would have been victory rather than defeat. You did not know, for I would not have known it, had he not breathed it in my ear, only at my earnest request, and begging that nothing ho said about it. * * * * * Yet through all .this, with a magnanimity rarely equalled, he ?rtood in silence without defending him self or allowing others to defend him, for he was unwilling to defend any one who was wearing a sword aud Btrikiug blows for the Confederacy. The great soldier who had hitherto commanded with such signal ability the army in Virginia-^Gencral Johnston? (thundering applause) having been severely wounded in the battle of Seven Pines, an tho 31st of May, General Lee was appointed to succeed :him, and as sumed command on the 2nd of June. From this time until the close of the war tho hi?tory oi General Lee is the history of the immortal army of Northern Vir ginia?that noblest army that ever trod this earth. To record the unparalleled achievements of that army while direct ed by the gonius of Lee,'would be a task far tqo great t? come within the scope of an address such as the present. General Hampton reviewed at length tho military achievements of General Lee and of his gallaut soldiers, and, in conclusion', said: . . a ,^ It has been my object not to embarrass the narrative by any criticism of n:y own hut to let the-great actions which marked that cvrc6r through its whole progress speak for themselves. From these ac tions the verdict of history will; aller all, be made up, and that verdict neither the praise of his, friends nor the censure of bis enemies will be able to influence. We place him without one doubt before that'abgus1. tri'.until, feeling assured tliut his motives, his deeds, and bis virtues will be judged by posterity as we, his countrymen, judge them now.. "Ilia grandeur, bo derived from Heaven alone, For he was great ere fortune made him t?o! And Warn, like hunts that rise against the sun, Made him but greater seem, not greater grow." "His ashes in a peaceful nm shall rr His name a great example innidu to show; I? ow Strangely high endeavors, may he blcsacd, Where piety and valor jointly go." At tbo close of General Les'smilitary service he retired quietly to private life, and though the record left by him sis a private citizen" is ns noble as any portion 7of his/whole, career, it was, unfortunately for the South and for ibe world, all too brief/ 4He lost-no time in vain regrets, but set himself resolutely to fulfill the duties that wore beforo him. ? ?fters of nesdstnneu poured in up<??j him from all quarters, but though deeply touched by this evidence of the love en? tcrtoined for him, he refused them all, saying, "My friends havo (dieted me everything except work." He felt that it was bis duty to work, and with him "duty \vas thesublimcst word in our hin I gunge." Surrounded by all that domes "tic affection could give, or public vener | ation bestow, it was the fond hope of our j people that be would long be spared to [ the South to teach her sons to follow bis example and emulate bis virtues. But he himself h it that the w ounds his heart had received were mortal. When be rallied from bis first attack and we were cheered by the-hopc that his precious life would be spared, a friend called to con gratulate him on his convalescence, and and to express the hope that bis health would sood be fully restored. Shaking his head gravely and placing his hand upon his heart, bo replied: "No, the trouble iahero." The trouble was, in deed, there. For the sorrows, the affec tions and the wrongs of the people whom be loved so well, were snapping, one by one, his heartstrings, and he fell at last dying as truly for the South as if he had fallen in her cause on the bloodiest field be over won iu her defence. And thus he passed away from the sceues ef his labors and his glory to appear at the bar of that great Judge, who alone can and will decide whether the cause in which be fougbt was right or wrong. But though he is no longer with us, his ex ample, his fame and his virtues are still left to us, and bo thus is not dead. But strew his ashes to the wind. Whose sword or voiee has served mankind, And is he dead whose glorious njtnd Lifts thine on high? To live ui hearts we leave behind Is not to die. Is't death to fall for freedom's right ? He's deadalouo that lacks her light, And murder sullies in Heaven's sight The sword he draws. What can alono ennoble tight ? A noble cause. At the conclusion of the address, which was enthusiastically applauded, three rousing cheers for Gcnerel Hampton were given. Everybody sees tho cloud on the hori zon, but who thinks o7the clear bluo sky ! above it.

[Eclectic Magazine. Two Scenes.?A gentleman took his son to a drunken row in a tavern, where the inmates were fighting aud swearing, and, said he, "Do you know what has caused all this?" "No sir." His father, pointing to the decanters sparkling with rum, Paid, "That's the cnu?e; will you take a drink?" The boy started back with horror, and exclaimed, "No!" Then he took his child to the cage of n man with deli rum tremens. The boy gazed upon him affrighted as tho drunk ard raved and tore, and thinking the de mons were aller him, cried "Leave me alone! leave mo alone! I see 'em, they're coming!" "Do you know the cnuee of this, my boy ?" ? "No, sir." "This is caused by drink; will you have some ?" And he shrank with a shudder as he refusod the cup. Next they called at the miserable hovel of a dmnkuid, where war squalid poverty, and the drunken father heating his wife, and with oaths, knocking down his children. "What has caused this?" said the father. The son was silent. When told it was rum, he declared he would never touch a drop in his life. But suppose that lad should bo invited to a weddiug feast, where with fruit and cake the wine-cup is passed amid scenes of cheerfulness and gayety, where'all the friends are respect able, beloved, and kind to each other, and be should be asked to drink, would he refuse ? Or, suppose him walking out with his father, on New Year's duy to call upon bis young lady friends to enjoy the festivity of the ushering in of the New Year. With other things wine is banded to him by n smiling girl. His noble hearted father whom he loves, presses the wine glass to Ria lips, and compliments the young ladies upon the excellence of quality ; what wonder if theson follow his example.?Emblem Annual. Influence of Alcohol. Dr. ParkesJ F. R. S., ot the Netly Hos pital, is pursuing his inquiries into effects of diet and exercise on the bodily condi tion, and on the elimination of certain [products from the animal economy. His last experiments were made on a soldier, a Scotchman, powerfully built, and thir ty years of age. The exercise was walk ing and digging ; and any one wdio has handled a spade knows, that to dig for uiue hours a day is not easy work. The experiments were continued during six teen days, and were brought to a close with trials of the effect of brandy. Aft tcr driking four ounces of prandy, he fan cied he could do a great deal of work; but when he came to do it, he found he was less capab'e than he thought.' After a second do3e, his inability to work was increased, and be bad palpitation of the heart; and u thiril cfoab, tuL-.cn right hours after tho first, completely neutralised his working-power. He threw down bis spade and being a good runner, tried to tnke running exercise, but unable, though fail ure of bieath; Dr. Parkes observes; The man's own judgment at .tho end of the trial was, that he would prefer to do the work without the brandy ; and when asked for his reasons, he mentioned " the increased thirst, the heaviness in the even ing, and the fluttering at the heart." And, commenting on tho caso, the doctor adds: 'As the effect of labor alone is to augment the strength and frequency of the heart's action, it would appear obvi ously improper to act on the heart still more by alcohol.'?Eci.ktic Magazine. Pacific Bailroad.?To give some idea of the material med on the Pacific Railroad, it is stated that there were about 300,000 tons of iron rails, 1,700, 000 fish-plates, 5,800,000 bolts, 6,126,375 cross-ties, 35,505.500 spikes, and an in calculable amount of sawed lumber, oonrds for buildings, timber for trestles, etc. Estimating the cost of the road with equipments complete by that of other first-class roads, ($105,000 per mile,) we have tho sum of $187,498,000 as the ap proximate cost or value of tho work? though it is cocceded that tho two roads were constructed for less, and that a large margin was secured by tho pioneers who began and finished them. To operato tho road there are now in use 333 loco motives, 156 passenger-cars, 43 palace sleeping-cars, 76 emigrant and second class cars; dump and sectien cars, 430; stock, coal, and iron cars, 725, fruit-cars, 32; and other cars, including tboso of the officers, in all, 7769.
