Senator John J. Ingall** deliv?
ered the oration at Gettysburg on
the "50th ult. lt was an impressive
occasion. He said :
Mr. President: The battle li.-Ll
of Qcttsybnrgl what a thronging tu
mult of emotion, of joy and gina, of
triumph, of sadness, of defeat, and fi?
nal victory rises in the heart at the
repetition of that name, the battle?
field of Get! vsburg.
? The hijrhtide of the KeUdlion
broke upon the placid ami fertile
fields and along those reverberating
and rocky slopes in a tumultuous
surf of blood ami flame that ebbed
away to Appomnt ox. Three Sum
mer days changed the annals of this
peatvful hamlet to an epoch never to
1?- forgotten in the history of the hu?
man race, and gave to this locality,
hitherto unknown, an immortality
equal to thal of Marathon, of Mars?
ton Moor, ami of Waterloo. The
orator who speaks and win. shall
speak upon every recurrence of this
anniversary, so lone; as it shall en?
dure, no matter how areal his fame
or his name, will be dwarfed hythe
stu|H>ndouH trajredy that was enact?
ed here, ami will stand in the pres?
ence of t he mighty ami colossal shad?
ow, that greaten! victim of the war,
who almost willan sound of my voice
from the spot where we now stand,
dedicated this field almost twenty
seven jean ago, as a final renting
place for those wlu> hen-died that
the nation might live.
"Lt is in obedience to that impulse
ami that instinct that the American
people here assembled to day, under
th.- hoiiest impulse ol' the naman

v:lt is just twenty-five years since
the hist shot was tired; Twenty-five
years since the host swen' marshalled
for the last review. They assemhled
within the shadow of the dome of t he
capitol they had saved. The splen?
dor of the vernal sun illuminated tin
scene ami glimmered in its glory
above them. It was the birthday oi
a redeemed and regenerated republic.
A host that no man could number,
like the sands of the sea or the stars
of the sky for multitude, welcomed
from window ami casement,from bal
cony and platform and cornice wit li
tumultuous acclaim, the victorious
legions of Sherman, of Grant, of Lo
.?ran and of Hancock, while on all
above the hearts of men, over flu
breaete of women, and in the bandi
of children, and from the dome anc
tower and pinnacle and roof am
spire, floated and flashed and flame
the glory of the fl;t_
"And then between the living wall;
from morn till night and from mon

Yorwg Men Beware.
See you not the serpent lying there,
la coila ss Ono as silken hair;
Which would your precious soul en?
snare?
And keep you e'er a captive there.
Youig men, la-ware!
Its fangs as st ile toa are sharp.
Which makes the timid fear and start,
Ere they become the reptiles mark.
And dawning finds them cold aud stark.
Young men, beware!
Tt fancies youug and careless youth
Who followed not the path of truth;
Pref? iring that rude and uncouth
'Til they become reluctant loth.
Young men, beware!
lt seeks to charm both bard and sage.
As up aud down the world's broad

Its coils unfolds 'neath wondering gaze,
And folds again on hoaiy age.
Young men, beware!
And shun the reptile lying fair.
Whose poisonous breath make foul the
air.
Victims inhale it then despair,
And dawning linds them perished there.
Young men, beware!
Ker o'er thy grave thy mother dear,?
Dishonored grave will shed a tear.
Ami press her heart in sudden fear

Augusta, Ga., May 28. (SesciaL). At
Spring Tlsce, shortly before 12 o'olock last
night an organized band of regulators
vmited the home of Burtley Davis, colored
tc administer a whipping on his daughter
for engaging in a quarrel with a white
{rirl whi> lived near by. Davis was in
urmed of ibe iutended visit, aud prepared
to give ibo out-laws a warm reception.
When the white caps tapped at the door
for admittance Davis leaped from his bed
grabbed his shot gun aud tired both bar?
rels into the crowd. No oue however was
strnck by the scattering shot. Davis next
emptied every Lullet from bis seven shoot
er revolver, bat again bis aim was poor.
Tbe crowd after Davis bad ex
bausled bis ammunition surrounded tbe
boase broke through the doors sud
windows. Davis seized a pole axe near
at hand and used tbe deadly weapon
freely over tbe heads of his assailant*
with more effect than be bad used the fire?
arms, lt is thought that he killed one of
tbe masked intruders by a blow over the
bead as a bat has nince been fonnd at tbe
house with a deep ganh in it. Two other
men received serious iu jurua.
Davis waa lound this morning in a field
near bis home dying from a pistol shut
wound received iu tbe small of the back.
Some of tbe assailants are known, and
they are going to be caught and prosee ut
ed fcfi Davis' conduct in defending his
home against the mob is approved by the
people of the county.
