A largv number of our citizens on yesterday ."afternoon aaaombled at tbe National Cemetery t do honor to "onr fallen brares," and to decorate the graves of the Nation's Dead, who sleep their last sleep ia that beautiful and quiet spot. The procession waa composed of the HaDover Guards, CapL Alabsoo, and the Cape Fear Guards, CapL Nash, and several civil societies. They made a very fine appearance. After the assemblage had been called to order by the Chief Marshal the exercises were commenced by the Choir singing the dirge "Rest, Soldier, Rest," the Chaplain Rer. C. tismpeoa then offered up an eloquent prayer. Tho ! Cboir sang "We Deck the Graves Alike i To-day." After which Gen. S. U. Mao ! niog. Master of Ceremonies, in a few ' appropriate remarks, introduced Hon. wuo delivered the following address: o- - - - . j , and Frllo'O-Citizrnt: They who are buried in this Na tional Cemetery came from many, and i ,s i widely separated homes. rk)me were ! born near tbe rock-bound coast of ew j Kngland, some in the Talleys of the Mohawk and the Hudson New Jeney j and Pennsylvania hare their ion here, i and mauy are from the yast region t wateretl by the Mississippi and its trib ; utHrie-. There are others reared in ihee !duthern States. Doubtless the j places left by many of them have been tilled and their memories have half fa- ''Cll aay r they aro wholly forgotten, i Ioubtlcs there are others who will be ' remembered witn londnem and regret , during the existence of their survivors ! i'erl.api in these graves more than one lite lien buried. Some of these tomb ; .-.tours tell tho names of those whose ; f.-icuds know of the places of their in i lernicp.t. Others mark nameless tombs f and rogUter the dwelling laces of the utircmembered dead. It may be that in k tne far distant home, some mother or wife has not ceased to hope for tne , rt-turu of son or husband, of whom the only record is, he went to the war and was never again heard of ; and j Hoe remains are here. They shared the common heritage of humanity i earth with it shadow and sunshine; air i and light and flowers and music; the i oc ciety of aciiuaintanees, friendship and love wi re sweet to them. Their s too .::-ls, '' the natural shrinking from the un-l.- va' i li""''u, which, whilfl the w-'J. ? ,.,., r. i kJ.-IiUs evr ni'- tMVMiaf men dread i llie i"g of their inevitable destiny, i . ., a:.d cvtr wi .1, until death shall be swal- hmt-d up in victory. Here on a soil I umrvr lo the sun thau tbe land ot their 1 birth, aiuoug strangers, "they have ' pitelted in Heaven's smile their camp I of death." Widely apart as were the j places of their nativities, they have icomc to a' common fate aud resting j place, because they perished in a com j liioii cause. The oUth of May has been j ma !e a national holiday, aud on this ' bright aud sunny day of closing spring, j crowds have gathered in every National ; C'vint tcry witb the same purpose as our OS". I. I I' poti the recent coffin ofthe great j Hungarian statesman was placed a ! wreath with this inscription, 'perish iw' tlowi-rs to imperishable worth." 1 1 is a common and beautiful custom i,i decorate tha remains and final homes ..f thosrt we love with flowers. "Sweet i ibe sweet," said the Queen, when she g , - the last offering to sslf-murdered 'p'.ifii. Dur fondness for a little )-.ii;.i-u life. With bitter tears and pa sionatc sorrow we lay our beloved ia tl.- grave. For a while we bring flower- .hat perish, types of a loveas per- trior g to their resting place. But r'w - nave been buried by a nation's care I. .r - i -y h ae earned a nation gratitude. i i,. ,. r,., a.-- nni itk tho riovr A...iiKr wkihw scatter here lo-elir. :i . i.. vr;..,,; ..,.. fmm i'r. i4JSlT tuv srvsas s www s ' .....r.. f,r in tha north sn.l ininins- its .. .i-i'.. t).. nttUm i iiini.i H.i-s through threw thousand miles and 30 i -. .it.,.t. tk finir f m.t.

The same heart-breaks, teara and fond remembrances fallowed theso wao iell on either mcIc. Communis trror jm jut, says oar common law; and no man is worthr of censure who, believing what he had learned in childhood, fol- lowed the public sentiment of the cam manity in which he lives. Fev,- of us are wiser than our generation, nor would it be well that we should b;. As generous a devotion inspired the souls of those who fought under one fla as of those who followed the fortunes of the other. Each appealed wiih the same firm belief in their risht to the same God of Battles; and kindred blooa Mho who speak onr kindly Knlisli tongnc flowed freely in behalf of either side. But now after the laie of vears. OTer the graves of those who dfed on j tbe national side, upon the day of the 1 three hundred and sixty-live sacred to j their memory; it is unjust t no one to j assert that the cau?e they fought for was onr common heritage; and to claim for them that the monu-iient tliey won is not these tombstone:;, hut this vast Union of States, and the tribute due them, is not the ilowers we -ca'.tr, but a nation's gratitud?.

The Fayetteville Western Kaiiroad has gaiued the suit instituted for the recovery of 47o bonds of $1.0o0each, held by L. P. Bayne ol New York. The Company contends that the mortgage bonds are fraudulent and the Supreme Court of New Yorkat its General Term aflirmed the judgment of the lower court iu favor of tire Company. An appeal lies for the Defendant to the Court of Appeals aud thence the Su preme Court of the United States ; but if the appeals are -taken it is thought the decision will be the same as it has been in the lower courts. If the Com pany shall final lv succeed in the suit, it will be enabled to make the contem plated extension of their road to Greens boro.
