MONDAY, APRIL I, 1861.
Arrival of Up-Country Volunteer**—The
Departure.
At 12 o'clock to-day, an extra traiu by the
Atlanth Ac Went Point Rail Road, brought to our
cilp*. tfco •>* Maw— ftneeds Cspl Mmmvop
* —composed of 80 men. Thia line company
arrived amidst alirring martial aiuaic aid firing
of cannon. Under eacort of Copt. W. T. Wil-
sou, of the Fulton Dragoons, they paraded in
line in frout of the Atlanta Hotel, and were re-
oetved i« i patriotic speech by the (Ion. L. J-
(tartreli, which waa elegantly responded to by
Col. Ilendricka, of Newnan. They were then
invited by Dr. Joseph Thompson, mine host of
the Atlanta, into his house, where a sumptuous
repast was served up for them, to which they
did ample justice.
At one o'clock, the State Road train, with two
companies—(be Ringgold Volunteers—S3 men—
under Capt. H. J. Sprayberry, and the Cartera-
ville Guards—81 men—under Capt. Larey.
At 11 P. M., 223 youug ladies of the Atlanta
Female Institute, came in a body and were
formed iu *a line on the East side of the At
lanta Hotel, under the management of Professors
Mayson and Howard The Gate City Guards
had been previously formed in line in front of
where the young lad es were stationed. Each
young lady had a small flag of the Confederate
States, mode of paper cambric, with the “bars''
and “stars” beautifully printed thereon. Each
dag also had the inscription—“From the Young
Ladies of the Atlanta Female Institute. None
but the brave deserve the fair.*’ Miss Kane, on
the part of the Ladies, made a lew appropriate
remarks, when all the young ladies in a body,
stepped forward and presented to each member
of the Guards one of the very beautiful minia
ture flags which they held in their hands. Three
cheers for the Ladies of the Female Institute,
were given with a hearty good will, by all who
were present, and then three more were given
by the crowd for the Guards.
At this point there was a call lor the Hon. T.
R. R. Cobb, who was present, and he, in re“
spouse, came forward and made a most felici
tous speech. We are sorry to be unable to lay
before our readers a copy of this most excellent
speech. After he had concluded, u large num
ber of the relatives, acquaintances and friends
of the Guards bid them an affectionate farewell.
This was, indeed, an aflecfiug scene.
At 2 o'clock, all the soldiers had taken thei
seals in the cars, and the train of the Macon &
Western Road moved off with thirteen passen
ger cars attached, amidst the booming of can
non, and the cheering and shouting, of the
unnumbered throng, and waving of handker
chiefs by the ladies from the windows and bal
conies contiguous.
The greatest gathering that was ever wit
nessed in this city took plaee. to witness their
departure. The Trout Ilouse, Atlanta Hotel,
Concert Hall, Depot*, Carsheds, tops of curs—
and indeed every available space, was crammed
with living mnsscs of men, women and chil
dren—all eager to see and to cheer the depart
ing soldiers.
Many are the prayers that follow them to their
destination. Mauy are the tears that were shed
ut parting with them, aud many anxious hearts
will sigh lor their safe return, with peace and
plenty smiling again over our happy land.

Tlie Cowardice of the Lincoln Adralnla-
tion.
Tho telegraph states that President Lincoln
has appointed a United States District Judge
for Northern Alabama. If we hear that the
said Judge haa been permitted to enter upon
his duties by the people, we may safe!
elude that the back of the Southern Coni
ny ia broken, and that it is not sustained by-
Alabama.
We clip tho foregoing from a (
uati paper. Since our remarks on the subject
of loyalty to Government, in our issue on
Thursday last, in which we alluded to the
nomination of Georgo W. Lane as Federal
Judge in Alabama, we leara, from what we
have seen in the papers, and from private
sources, that he has sought this appointment
at the hands of Lincoln, and that he has been
confirmed as such by the United States Senate.
We see, In the newspapers, that he proposes
holding his first Court at Athens, Limestone
county, Alabama. We are informed, private
ly, that old Madam Bates, Lincoln’s Law Offi
cer, iu tendering Lane this office, informed
him that tho Black Republican Government,
to which he clings, would not exactof him the
attempt to hold Courts, but would require of
him to flaunt this Liucolu commission in the
faces of the people, and draw the pay of a
Federal District Judge.
Our readers will recollect that we, a few
days ago, published an extract from a letter
written by a Southern lady in Waahington, in
which she asserted that Lincoln was a coward.
His conduct, in appointing a man to a Federal
office in our midst, where everybody knows
the duties pertaining to the office cannot be
discharged—and not even requiring suoh du-
ties at bis hands—simply because he has found
a mao vile enoUgh to be bought up with Federal
gold, Is conclusive evidence of the most sneak
ing eo ward ice la him and his AdoMoistraiiot.
lie greatly mlsappreoiates the Southern peo
ple, if he thinka to mollify them and win them
to kia hate/kl embraoe, by lavishing gold upon
a traitor among us.

■M.the. Lincoln d4» not • OMupj, h<4? and
pMMM the for to end other proporly ef the
United State*” among Uf, *• he boasted '
would do; but he steops down to the lo
bred, low flung conduct of a paltroon, i
will keep out of harm’s way and grin at
antagonist.
Lately he appointed a coaple of Black He
publican mail agents in Virginia, which
asperated the people of the country Ihrouj
which they traveled, that they rose up, almost
en matte, and forbale them coming into their
precincts. One had resigned in a fright, and
the other was about doing eo, at last aeoouaU
and Lincoln had determined to make no more
appointments in that State, till after the ap
proaching election, which comes off in May-
then to make a cleau sweep. I a the mean*
time, in order to conciliate Virginia, he has
sent a meisenger to Mr. Summers, of that
State, to offer him the appointment of Judge of
the Supreme Court, (that plaoe which be did
uotgive to Crittenden, and will not give
Summers.)
None but base hearted malignant cowards
will stoop to low, mean, petty annoyances,
when foiled ia any undertaking; but such
he has shown himself to be. We appre
hend, however, that our pesple will not be
much annoyed by Lincoln’s office holders
there is no better way to rid ourselves of them,
there are plenty of limbi protruding from oak
trees in our forests, a little higher than
man’s head, and strong enough to bear a man
weight for half an hour. Hickory bark
peel, and grape vines bear tw isting, in a few
days. We hare plenty of other plans of rid
ding ourselves of such annoyances, which ways
we will adopt first; but if all other plana fail,
the one above indicated will be inflictad, and
no mistake.
The Cincinnati paper is correct in supposing
the back-bone of our Confederacy would be bit)'
ken if Lane were allowed to enter upon h
duties. That, however will not be permitted.
Equally cowardly is the conduct of Lincoln,
in relation to the Forts within our Confederacy,
He and his advisers were loud mouthed in their
denunciations of Buchanan for not making
on us, and in their threats t> punish treason
and crush out rebellion; but since he and they
have the reigns of government, the same course
has been pursued by them—only in a manner
and under circumstances that exhibits i
cility and cowardice of the deepest dye. Lin
coin has not the courage to strike the first blow
towards reinforcing the Forts whero United
States troops still remain, or retaking those
that we have seised, or even to take a singf
step in tbat direction—neither has he the
bood in him, necessary to cause a prompt
drawal of the troops from places he knows he
can neither hold nor reinforce. AH the while
he has been pursuing a vacillating, cowardly
course, which is no doubt intended to be tanta
lizing to us. He has been giving out every few
days for nearly a mouth, that Fort Sumpter
would be evacuated, and still it
lie is afraid to make war on us, but desires to
drive us into the first act of war, or to vex us
as long as we will bear it without resentment.
This is evidently his policy, which
one of tho characteristics of brave manhood,
but is base and cowardly. “ 1/ I cant whip
you, 1 can make ugly faces at your sister."
propose that our forbearance have a speedy ter
mination.
The Nashville llanner.
The most impudent, crazy rant that we eve
saw in the South, is perpetrated by the Nash
ville Banner in speaking of Jefferson Davis
and the Governmout of the Confederate States.
He advises “that vile traitors, such as h
had better be looking out for a safe retreat,”
“from an indignant and outraged people.”
The editor says Davis “ ia as preud and as vain
as Beelzebub”—that he (Davis) has been pro
ducing discontont and teaching treason as long
as we (the redoubtable editor of the Banner)
can stand it”—oalls him a “ vile conspirator
“ vile rebel!" inflated bigot!—is “ on the road
to the gallows!!” Daree him to “ attempt to
subdue the Federal Government or fire at Fort
Sumter or any Fort”—that he “ is as sure to be
hung as that the sun will rise to-morrow l
ning, unless he runs liko a coward to a country
beyond the reach of Tennessee,” and assorts
that Tennessee could subdue the “ whole Cot
tonocracy in a short time.”
This is more like the foul slang of Charlos
Sumner—the vituperation ot Josh Giddmgs—
the impudence of Fred Douglas—tho mad ra
vings of Wendell Phillips—Ihe venon of Wm.
Lloyd Garrison—the balderdash of Horace
Greeley—the vain boasting of Henry Ward
Beecher, and all the set slang of the Abolition
crew, than anything we ever saw coming from
a Southern man. Helper, of “ Impending Cri
sis” notoriety, could not equal that wero he to
try the remainder of his days.

journed sine die, on tho 26th ultimo, after adopt

States so ratifying. We have no doubt that
South Carolina and Mississippi will ratify it
in a very few days, if they have not already
done so. Florida will, also, as soon as her Con
vention meets. No people on earth should be
afraid of suoh a Constitution ; and we are of
opinion tbat all objections to it it are selfish
and captious to a greater or less extent.

in England is in tue habit of returning its
thanks for any honor which is done to it—
and its honors art scant, ao<J few aud far be
tween—to morrow morning.' [Laughter.']—
1 would merely pursue the honored custom of
my ancestors in thanks—If I could be permit
ted fo do so without df.soourtsey to you. But
as 1 have been-induced by a gentleman whom
i see in the diui perspective gloating over the
result of his persuasive eloquence, 1 can only,
with very faltering tongue and with a very fu'l
heart, return lo you all my very grateful
thanks, for the oompliment tbat yon have
done me—no. only in invitingme hereto night,
but in singling mo out to do * hat would be
more properly done by some of the gentlemen
whom I see here before me—(the reporters)
—to return thanks for the Press.
Gentlemen, when I was coming over, the
other day, across the Atlantic, which I am
sorry to say is not a very pleasant medium of
communication in the month of March with
the United 8tates, [laughter,] a very unfor
tunate bird was driven, iu gloom and ohsouri-
ly of night, to find refuge in tho mate’s breast.
Whsu the intelligent Bailor carried it- down
just as we were going to bed—he brought it
to us saying, “It is a parrot.” A young lady
asked very naturally, if it oould speak?—
When told that it could not, she said, very pro
perly, I suppose, then, it is a Booby. [Laugh-
te r .] Gentlemen, I am afraid that, in the fear
of me ladies, or those intelligent that belong
to our owu sex, I ha' 1 cannot speak under the
name of Booby. [Laughter.] But at the
same time, 1 shall not serve you as the bird
did one of our uufortunate passengers — 1 shall
not Lite. [Laughter.] It has been my un
fortunate lot, iu the scenes through which my
name has been known—iu which 1 take no
pride indeed—it has been my fortune to bo
rather a stormy petrel (ban a boobv. 1 have
swept over the oceen where blood has been
cast out as water, hut I hope, gentlemen, and
I trust, and I believe, that there is nothing iu
this country which should give rise to the
shedding of blood [Applause] Gentlemeo,
believe me, by the Press—the Press wherever
it be found—the Press will find its freest de-
elopment and it largest life, and itt* most lib
eral interpretation in the land where freedom
of opinion is founded upon the largest bisis.
[Applause.] But all who are childieu of the
Press, great andsm-il), in England, shall grieve
deeply indeed when our arguments are set it
naught, and if all our words fall dead aud
listless—seeing the opposition of the two great
parties where we hoped to find unanimity —
Surely it is not lo be the office of the I*re-s to
chronicle their termination and destruction.
Purely it is not to be the cane in England,
in France, in Germany, when the voice of the
press is raised to advocate the extension of
the suffrage aud franchise, that they are to be
met by tho voice ft hich shall say, "All your
perimenls and all your arguments are fallen,
J are baseless and without foundation.”
[Applause.] However, geutieuu-u, Icomouot
here lo night lo speculate upon theories of
government. 1 am uot here— an i indeed, with
the contending views around me, l should be
more than mortal if I were able to penetrate
kernel of the very difficult lul, with
a very rugged, angular surface, presented to
me. 1 shall describe the nut, and a very con
siderable and extensive one it is, and a very
difficult one to crick. [Laughter and ap-
plauso]
1 was pointed out as one to take notes, 1
hope for general circulation, [laughter,] and
[ promise to nothing extenuate ar.d to set
down aught in malice. [Applause ] Thus,
gentlemen, I will not say that you are a pack
of “drunken fools, who grow idiotic in your
prosperity, and have committed national sui
cide.” These were tho words used by one of
your speakers (Mr. Gerard) to night. 1 be
lieve, gentlemen, that the pen has not been
grown upon the back of a gooso that ia Lo re
cord the fact that you have grown foolish iu
your prosperity of the United Slates—rich iu
he development of every fruit tlmt human go-
tius and industry have cast their sun upon,
and have committed national Hiu. [Ap
plane*.]
Gentlemen, the record of such a calamity
would bury the hopes of humanity all over the
world. [Applause.] I am a constitutional
government admiring Englishman. [Laugh
ter and applause.] 1 am an Irishman by birth,
but presenting myself here before you ns an
Englishman, with a stripe of Irish tendencies.
[Applause.] But nothing would grieve my
heart, or the hearts of Englishmen all over the
world where is sought the development of the
policy of self government-nothing oould grieve
us more than the realization of the fact of the
inevitable dissolution of the American Union.
For God’s sake preservejiurope from that dis
grace. When we would free Italy and Hun
gary, and Boland and the nationalities of the
world, let men not be enabled to say, you have
failed ; bullet your potent accomplishment of
facts strike a blow for the liberiy of mankin I
on the other side of the water. [Applause ]
come here, gentleman, in a period of great
excitement. 1 recognize it in the contending
voices and the storm around me—the intensf
ty of the means which have given it birth—
but I cannot, I will not believe * * *
that you are abot t to oast off your honors
and
Whistle down the wiud a prey to fortune,”
the grandest heritage which a nation ever re
ceived. [Applause ] I feel I am trepasslng
upon your time. [Cries of “Go on, go on.’ ]
It gives me great satisfaction to meet here
my fellow countryuieu, to witness the celebra
tion I have to-day, the militaiy parade that
passed before my eyes. I never saw so many
I rishmen with good hats and coats on before.
[Great laughter and applause.] It was truly
pleasant eight.
If you fiad in the course of any remarks 1
may have to make, when I say a spade Is a
spade aud you find it a shovel, will you please
find an excuso for my well intended ohserva
lion ? [Laughter.] I assure you that it was
with no Intention that I extend the angles.
[Laughter.]
I am prond to see ia Irishmen that free pug-
ntoioas principle which I have seen developed
on many a battle-field. * * * Gentlemen,
I have seen great battles and great fights, but
I hope I ebafi see non* bare while I am cor
rect in n»y diagnosis. If I can judge by the
Crimea, by the storming of tbe heights of Al
ma. by that great achievement of the 6th of
November, when a small ban^ of British sol-
iitrs—honor them you must—met those em
battled boats of Ruseia, lo hurl them dew*—
if I can judge of the bloody charge of Ualakla-
va. of the Foerlh Dragoons, of the Fourth
Royal Irish, oad oqr own Hussae ia the light
charge, I believe that though otbere may fail,
the Web soldier will do his duty to bis native
