For Memorial Day. The President of the Memorial Associ ation request us , to state that the schoo room of Misses Burr and James, in the rear of St. James' Church, will be head quarters on Thursday, the 10th. , Mem bers and friend: of the Association arc ur gently requested to meet at the above named place at 9 o'clock Thursday 4o prepare the decorations. The Managers of the Association hope that all interested in this Memorial cele bratibn will contribute as many flowers as possible, and ask that they be sent in early on Memorial Day. ,Shade Trees. A few pretty - shade trees placed where they ought to be, would .in due time become a source of comfort and beauty worth very much to the inmates of the homestead. But do not place them too near the dwelling. Let the sunshine strike your house for several hours both morning and evening. It is necessary to health. Place the trees, so that the shadow, when the trees have acquired their size,, shall just reach the walls of the dwelling in the hottest part of the day, which will prevent radiation, and keep the atmosphere around, the house cool. 1877.

But the summer had not half gone wnen alter the second battle of Cold Harbor, in'June, 1SG1, Ulysses found to his utter dismay, that. Gencr. L?c had killed, captured, and placed hors da can bat more men for him than he, L:e, had in his entire army, but then-what. was' the difference to Grant, .thai ; butcher? all he had to do was to make out his' requisi tion for more men and'whiskev, send it to Washington, have it filled, and then lace his mcnin i;nc of battle ' seven and eight linens deep if necessary, fill thcircan teens with whiskey, and start them for ward; 'and thus the bloody work of slaughtering these poor LiK-nan Leincs went on, 'while Grant Av'alkcd into popu lar favor over the deal bo.i:es of his brave eoldicrs. But Grant did not stick '-fw 1 ;s oil; proiDOsition and "fight it. out ou as vi said ho would do, he ine nal this sidling ou down by his left ihuA. wb:'e eekeptiiace with him, moving by Irs right, until iinally the two armies con- rontcd each other around "Petersburg, A C 7 which position Grant could have gamed, lad he possessed tha proper generalship, by another route, say la" City. Point or West Point even, with a loss of less ban one-third of the men that ho sus- 1 aincd. As soon as this mighty modern Ulysses had invested Petersburg, he seemed to' settle down to quiet ease, aid concluded by a simple method of arithmetic thatj as he war had been going on for nearly four years, and our resources vwere nearly all gone, cur ports all blockaded; with only an occasional chance or making an entry. and our reserves -aR called out, it was simply a matter of time, say so many moythti, before Lee would have to suc cumb; or, in other words, that as . he had the whole world to draw his troops from, ana Lec only tne narrow limits 01 tne Confederacy, as a matter of course it only required the time as compared with what 1,000 meu could do against 1U0, and if Lee should kill for Grant every day 1,000 men, Grant in return would certainly kill some of Lee's men. and no maUer how few, he .would in course of time finally exhaust him, because the Army of Northern Vir ginia could not be reinforced. And this is about the extcut'of the 'generalship dis played by the man to whom the noble and gifted Lee was compelled iVpr'u' sheer exhaustion to surrender., . There was a singular coincidence about these two battles of the Wilderness, fought on nearly the same ground, aud within one year and three; days of each other; So singular in the results, incidents and acci dents, we may say, were these two con tested fields, that it seems as if the 'hand of destiuy, fate, and the God' of battles even were against tlr Sonthcra trvAi.B There seemed to be a sert a presentiment of somethmg dreadful, cf some impending ;ny, portion 01 it 01 that eventful day, as they marched in column , up the stone road and then 'filed to the right to take up position in line of battle; scarcely' a word was poken; all seemed , as silent as a funeral 'procession in Gen. Ed. Johnson's Division, '.for the troops, unlike they were on the previous occasion, knew as well as if It had leen told them, c'iacdy what wr i coming, i. e. 1 1 il. r . . ney Anew luai in a very stioit V.'v.e they were to meet in: deadly conflict, the Army of the Potomac reinforced, strengthened, reorgauizel, armed and equipped with all the best and most improved guns; and while they had the utmost confidence in their corps commanders and in their grand old Captain Lee, sti'' they could not but recollect how they missed; Jackson at Gettysburg, and the AiR 10,000 comrades they had left npon those bloody heights, and they still believed that things woald have been different had Jackson been MO W. .

The first day was a vic tory the second day came the misfortune that, like the previous Wilderness battle, had such a disastrous effect upon onr cause: Longstreet, while in the act- of executing a flank movement, which it is confidently believed would - have; driven Grant back across the Rappahannock that night, was suddenly called Jto .- rein force A. P. Hill, whose lino. .had been broken, and in doing so, Longstreet (the old war-horse, as General Lee used to familiarly term him,) was shot and se verely wounded in the shoulder, and this too, sad . to relate, by an accident from our own men." General Jenkins, ,rom South Carolina, was killed at the same time and in the same way. Longstreet was 'disabled rom field service for many months, arid thus it was that within a little over one year's time, on. nearly the same fatal spot, General Lee was deprived, at the most critical period, of ths services of his two ablest generals. - - - , Of course it is all mere speculation as to--what": might have been the final result of this unhappy conflict, but it is , our firm, ojiinion , but for the accident which occurred to General Jackson on the 2d of May, 18C3, .or the one to LoDgstrcet on the Gth of May 18C4, the star of the Confederacy would have been shining tcj-day iu tho lirni anient of nation, with a br;1liaucy equal to the gehins and cour- ;c' displayed by Leo and the band of 8,000 noble heroes that stacked arms on he 9th day ( of Apri' at Appomattox Co'uiu Horse. 4 ' ' '.
