rising to a community so well acquainted with Mr. Hilliard's versatility of talents and grace and eloquence in the pulpit. When, however, it was announced on Thursday evening that the reverend minister had actually been secretly married to Mrs. Eliza A. Mays, on the night of the 7th of August, by the Rev. Dr. E. Baldwin, of the Methodist Church of Montgomery, Madam Rumor was astounded and chagrined that she was so far behind time. It appears that the parties had intended to make their nuptials nuptials public in a year from that date, but in the meantime circumstances prevented the second marriage. Accordingly, as Mr. Hilliard was about taking his departure for Augusta, on Thursday evening several persons were assembled at the house of the former Mrs. Mays to hear a written revelation of the mystery, which was solved, so far as the public have any insight, substantially as we have stated the facts. Mr. Hilliard and lady left on the next train for Augusta.--Montgomery Advertiser.

age. --For some time a portion of the community has been all agog with gossip concerning the past intimacy and probable future marriage at no distant day of a distinguished preacher, lawyer, politician, and military man, to a fascinating widow of this city. On the 28th of June last Col. Henry W. Hitliard had the misfortune to lose his former estimable consort. During the interval from that time to this Col. Hilliard has been engaged publicly commanding the Legion from this State in East Tennessee, and when occasionally at home he has preached and administered the sacrament to the Methodist congregation in Montgomery. Recently it was announced that he had resigned his commission in the army, and had been admitted into the Georgia Conference, and would take pastoral charge of the St. John's Methodist Church at Augusta. All this was not surprising to a community so well acquainted with Mr. Hilliard's versatility of talents and grace and eloquence in the pulpit. When, however, it

Pay no tribute to the enemy. Pending the Revolutionary war, the enemies of our ancestors were alike successful in penetrating the interior of the country with fire and sword, carrying desolation in their train — plundering, burning, and murdering. While Washington was at his headquarters in the year 1781, he learned that the enemy had made a raid up the Potomac to Mount Vernon, and demanded supplies from his relative, who had been left in charge of his effects; and, to his indignation, that this person, to save his houses from the torch, his plantation from ruins and his slaves from capture, had paid the tribute required. The rebuke which he administered to the urgent, who thus compromised his honor, has been preserved, and is to be found in the volumes of his correspondence. It is pertinent to the present crisis, and we reproduce it as worthy of consideration and imitation: To Lund Washington, at Mount Vernon. New Windsor, 30th April, 1781. Dear Lund: I am very so

vate soldier of the Confederate army. And when we turn to our armies, truly these victories are the victories of the privates. God for bid that I should take one atom of honor or of praise from those who led our hosts upon those days of glory — from the accomplished and skillful Lee, the admirable Crichton, of our armies — from the God-fearing and indomitable Jackson, upon whose prayer-bedewed banner victory seems to wait — from the intrepid Stuart, whose cavalry charges imitate those of Murat — from that great hests of Generals who swarm around our country's flag as Napoleon's Marshals did around the Imperial Eagle; but, nevertheless, our victories are the victories of the privates. It is the enthusiastic dash of their onsets, the fearless bravery with which they rush even to the cannon's mouth, the utter recklessness of life, if so be that its sacrifice may only lead to victory, the heartfelt impression that the cause is the cause of every man, and that success is a necessity.

Honor to whom honor is due. Extracts from a sermon delivered at Christ Church, savannah, on Thursday, September 18th, 1862, being Thanksgiving Day, by the Right Rev. Stephen Elliott, Bishop of Georgia: Woman's Heroism. The attitude of woman is sublime.--Bearing all the sacrifices of which I have just spoken, she is moreover called upon to suffer in her affections, to be wounded and smitten where she feels deepest and most enduringly. Man goes to the battle-field, but woman sends him there, even though her heart-strings tremble while she gives the farewell kiss and the fare well blessing. Man is supported by the necessity of movement, by the excitement of action, by the hope of honor, by the glory of conquest. Woman remains at home to suffer, to bear the cruel torture of suspense, to tremble when the battle has been fought and the news of the slaughter is flashing over the electric wire, to know that defeat will cover the with dishonor and her little one with ruin, to l
