The first pi cos on the programme «k a corn-
test between “Yankee Doodle** and “ Dixie,”
in which Doodle was badly beaten, and hus
tled off the stage In disgrace, after all the ef
fort# of his backers to spur him up to a cred
itable performaaoe of tys part. Dupe wee tri
omphont—Doodle eluek away covered with
eonfhefon and peppered with blows, hisses end
groans. “Barnes,** oar * institution," by a
8ovst«iex act of Incorporation, (none of yonr
slow-coach City Council or Legislative acts,)
snatched up the Confederate Flag, and, trium
phantly waiving it before the audience, crow
ed out vietoiy in a style that the most shiill-
voiced chanticleer might well envy.
Miss Julia E. Whitney sang “Only Waiting,
and “I'm Alone.** The strains of both these
popular pieoes were rendered most beautifully
touohiDg by her sweet and highly cultivated
vo'oe, sod charming manner,
Col. Lowe’s fiddling is more than mortal man
can endure, and keep Kill. We have hereto
fore expressed our views of his ability in this
line. If wa knew what else to say to convey
to eur readers e proper appreciation of bis most
eEquieite touches, we would say it.
And then Miis R. J. Hale’s “Borne One to
Love” was so enchanting and captivating.—
Tbero were several Incorrigible old bachelors
near us—one of whom hastily brushed a tear
from his eyes. All of them gaaed in breath
less and motionless attention at the fair sing
er, and involnotarily heaved a deep drawn sigh
as she retired
Mr. Nash’s comic song was one of the most
marked and attractive features of the whole
performance. His manner is bis own and in
imitable. We run our mind all over the list of
comic singers we ever beard, either North or
South, without being able to remember one
superior to him
Prof. Hanlon sang “Moilie Bawn, and he
and Mr. Keeiy sang “All’s well.” That sweet
Scottish ballad and the touching straine of
“Good night—all’s well,” reached every heart.
We can’t describe Barnes end Company’e
“Wasn’t thut a drawback F” The only regret
we have to express about it is, that Lincoln
and the 7tb Regiment were not present to bear
it. Lincoln’s proclamation—the fall of Bum
ter—the fight at Baltimore—the abandonment
of Harper’s Ferry, and the murderous attempt
of the vandals to burn Norfolk, the match go
ingout, Ac., Ac.,ail came in for a share of the
stinging aaroaam of that original piece of “Our
Institution.”
That Hornpipe, by Mr. Roech, charmed eve
ry lover of the terpeichoreen ert. He had his
breast covered with the Confederate flag, which
made a pretty appearance. He has the use of
bis feet, and no mistake.
Miae Hale's “Battle Song of the South/
stirred the fires of patriotism, and filled every
heart with burning ardor. The applause of
the audience could not be restrained, when she
repeated the words “Strike, strike for the
South ”—“The foe shall fall "—“Land of the
South, thy rights maintain, the prise of victory
will be gained.” When she closed, she cast a
large bouquet to the Grays, and retired amidst
unbounded cheering.
The Farewell to the Greys was a most ira-
pressivs piece. It was sung by the company—
was original, and is another of the valuable
contributions of “Our Institution.” The Grays
all rose up while it was being song.
The Misses Whitney sang “Good bye”—that
sweet old song. A portion of it was changed
to suit the occasion. This was a touching piece.
The soldiers wept, end a great portico of the
audienoe wee affected to tears. Many eyes
unused to moisture, end brave hearts that do
not often melt, were suffused and subdued.
Frof. Howard, pf. OfEtebruck, and Messrs.
Rchoen and HsindIs performed most admira
bly on their several instruments. It is worthy
o f remark that Prof. Howard played Yankee
Doodle and several other important pieces on
a penny whistle that he bought in a toy shop.
Upon the whole, we think Atlanta is unsur
passed by any plaee for musical talents, vocal
end Instrumental.
The conclusion of Barnes’ original Dixie, and
the Tableau of the Soldier’s Return Home,
were all that talent and good taste could ac
complish. The Atheoeum was jammed to
its utmost capacity. Every seal was oooupied,
and aU the ovarieble space wee filled with per
sons standing up, who wereunablo to get seats,
and who remained to the lest, forgetting thet
they bed fogs to beoomo weary.
The money which had been taken in at the
door, and for the sale of tickets, was made up
Into a purse—the net proceeds amounting to

W. Adair, Esq , Id a shdrt speech, as follows:

eepdl of this delightful Cod cert. This, gentle-
ffeftd, Is but a Irakis testimonial of Ike high tp

and any demaod for your oomfort will be

But, sir, we must soon perl Yon lenvn your

as there is danger. Your enlistment is fbr Ike

bloom ia their sweetneee around your peaoefai
and quiet homes, not fall, nor pass away, era
each and all of you return to tbo loved onee
you leave behind, crowned with that vie-
tory which is only merited by the justice of
your aause.
At the conclusion of these remarks, Captain
L. J. Glenn, on the part of tho ladies of At
lanta, presented the Company with a beauti
ful stand of colors. In doing so, he said:
Captain Cooper, officers, and men of the At
lanta Grays: The pleasing duty has been as
signed me, by the ladies of Atlanta, to present
to you this stand of oolore—among whom aro
the wives, sisters, and perhaps the sweethearts
of some of your number. They could not con
sent that you should go to the field of battle
without presenting to you some public testi
mony of the high estimation in which you are
held by them. Though the ladies cannot inin
gle in the active scenes of the ooming strug-
gle, they, as did our patriotio mothers, in the
days of American Revolution, fee! it to be their
duty to do all they can to encourage those who
go forth to fight for the Liberty of the South—
hence, they present you with this beautiful
Flag; not only as a token of their esteem, but
as an offering of their patriotic devotion upon
the altar of their country, to cheer and encour
age jou along the rugged path of duty that
lies before you.
The history of the world furnishes no par
allel to the injustice and wickedness of the
which the Administration at Washington
is now prosecuting against the people of the
South. The pen of the future Historian, when
it comes to record the events of the present
day, will have e task to perform, at once both
mournful and pleasing—mournful, when it re
cites the wrongs and oppreaaiont which have
boen heaped upon a patient and forbearing
people; pleasant, when it writes the firm and
united resistance of that people to those wrongs
and oppressions.
It is true, we have no standing Army upon
which our eountry may rely in the bourof her
necessity, neither have we Navies or Fiesta
but, thank God! the South has within her bos
more than a million of freemen, who, like
you, are willing to leave their fields, their
workshops, their offices, and the sacred desk,
and who will defend her to the lsstagainst her
unscrupulous enemies.
How different the motives and objects which
prompt you to fight, from those which actuates
the vandals of the North! They fight for con
quest end plunder; you, to drive beck an un
scrupulous foe, that dares, without cause, to
invade your soil. They come to desolate your
fields aud lay waste your cities, with the cry
beauty and booty,” as their watchword;
you go to fight for your homes—your fathers,
mothers, wives and children— jour country,
and all that honest people hold dear! How
ever unequal we be, aa to numbers; though
the North may boaat ita twenty milliona to our
ten, in such a contest, between men actuated
by auch different motivea, can there be a doubt
aa to the final raault F “ The battle is not al
ways to the strong,” for “ thrice is he armed
who bath his quarrel just;” end, so sure as
there is a just God in Heaven, vietory will,
sooner or later, perch on that Flag—the ban
ner of the Confederate State*—the true em
blem of Liberty !
Upoo that flag there glitters to-night but sev
en stare. Ere long it will have nine; end
among them will be ibet of down trodden Ma
ryland, the victim of Gubernatorial treachery.
In the course of events, you may be called upon
to strike a blow for Maryland. Let it be effect
ive, and rid the land of Carroll of the last inva
der.
You go to Virginia, the lend of Washington, of
Jefferson, of Madison end Henry—those pure
patriots, whoss spirits are now looking down
fro.' the battlements of Hsavsn, with intense
anxiety, upon tbs struggle for ths Liberties
which they bequeathed to us. When you shall
reach Virginia's soil, enriched with the blood
of her Revolutionary patriots, no other con
sideration will be necessary to incite you to
deeds of noble daring.
But this is not all i You go to Virginia the
representatives of the Booth—of Georgia—of
Atlanta. The ladiee who have given yon this
Fleg, expect every men of you to do your
Whole duty. Wherever you go, whatever for

follow you, for your safsty, success and speedy
return.
Then, sir, in the name end behalf of (he La-<

To Ike Ladiee of Atlanta, who gave us this

ever quarter it may.
It is not meet, however, thet e soldier should
deal largely in words. It is not proper for us,
who have not yet tried our maiden blades, to

a boastful capacity. We expect to show our
valor in something mere substantial than words
—by acts. By this beautiful banner, which
you have given us, we shall conquer or die.—
Its beautiful folds may trail upoo the ground;
but nOt until the last men of this Company is

which will make them gird on their armor

I feel that there is not one. We go to defend

consecrated and made sacred by the blood of

twenty or thirty years, we will bring

The audience then retired with three ch>
for the soldiers and three more for the ladies
of Atlanta.
THE DEPARTURE.
Yesterday morning nt an early hour, the
tents, baggage and other appurtenances be
longing the Grays, were brought to the Passen
ger Depot, and taken chargo of by tho accom
modating and useful Express Company; and
large erowds of ladies and gentlemen gathered
around, until the whole spaoe was ooe dense
mass of human beings, to witness tb
parture. When the time drew near for the
train to depart, the Company, escorted by the
Jackson Guards, Capt. Neal; Georgia Volun
teers, Capt. Johnson ; Davis Infantry, Captain
Ballard ; Confederate Volunteers, Capt. Forea
cre, aod Fulton Blues, Capt Purtell, catne up
and halted near the cars in the midst of the
vast throng. Capt. Cooper then announced to
them that it would be impossible for them all
toshake hands with their friends and bid them
adieu; but that in token of their esteem for
the ladies end citizsna of Atlanta—with best
wishef for all—that they might enjoy health,
prosperity, end long life, and in the hope of
one day returning to greet them all again, the
Graye gave three oheers, which was done with
will. Three cheers were then given by the
cilisens for the Grays. The order to march
was then given. They were quickly iu the
cars, and the train moved off amid the enthu
siasm of the vast throng. May God protect
them, and give success to tbeir arms. May
they be spared to greet us at homo again ; and
may Heaven’s blessings chser aod comfort the
hearts that watch for their return 1

At a meeting of the “Atlanta Grays,” hsld
just prior to their departure for Richmond, the

ed :
HtAolvtd, That we feel ourselves uuder last
ing obligations to the citisens of Atlanta for
tbeir generous aid in furnishing us with the
meant neceeeary to equip our corpe for tervice,
and that, in the discharge of our duty as sol-
diers, we will ever cherish the recollection of
their many acts ofltindnees
Rvtolctd, That we would especially remem

Hrownlow Scared.
The editor of the Knoxsille Whig is the most
horrified man we know of at this time,
has discovered a foul plot, by which Andy
Johnson, Nelson, Maynard and himself are U
be seized, put in irons, and hurried off to Mont
gomery, incarcerated in jail, and either tried,
convicted and punished for treason, or held
hostages to ensure the good behavior of the
East Tennesseeans. He fumes and curses at
the most terrific rate, and no language save bis
own ran convey any adequate idea of the furi
ou8 imprecations be calls down on the heads
of those who are thus to seize him and drag
him away. lie says he knows the plotters in
East Tennessee—that they have aiders snd
abetters outside of the State, who have been
closeted with them, and the details of their
plan are agreed upon. No doubt he thinks
he is a doomed man unless God delivers hi
out of their Lauds : for he calls on the Lord to
consume them with tire from heaven as He did
Nadab and Abilin ; and threatens that if he ia
seized and carried * ft*, incarcerated in Mont
gomery jail and executed, e moat horrible ven
geance will be visited upon hia persecutors—
the Secession leaders—by bis partisan friends.
We have no doubt he is insane. It is aad to
sec such a vigorous intellect as he has, pros
trated—the victim of distorted imagination and
and fearful groundless forebodings.
Gov, IIrown*n Address.
We this morniug publish the address of
Gov. Brown to the people of Georgia, offering
premiums and honors to such ladies and gen
tlemen in the State, as will make the largest
contributions for the prosecution of the war,
and the comfort of our soldiers. Wo have no
doubt the Governor was actuated bv good mo
tives in issuing this address; but with all due
deference and respect, we do not think such
an address was necessary. We are very sure
that no person in this community nteds any
incentive to spur him or her up to give liber
ally to supply the wsuts of our soldiers; and
we do not believe the people of any portion of
the State stand in need of this or any other
kind of encouragement to make them give to
the utmost extent of their abilities, or even to
the extent of their whole means—only to know
the extent of the soldiers’ wants. We are de
cidedly of opinion that our Army does not con
tain a single soldier who wants, or would ac-
pt of any favors or assistance from any man
whose donations were given alone under the
influence of such propositions as Gov. Brown
makes—or any other motive on earth, other
than the one named.
For these reason# we thiuk the address en
tirely unnecessary.
not learn m^at charge or speelfieatioo were

With regardto the arreet of Mr. Winaas we

is not pretended that o current vat issued by
y civil authority, upon any affidavit uhatever.
l bs act was a pure, simple exercise of milita
ry power, and It has aot been, op to this mo
ment of time, In in, *i,< ^explained or aton
ed for by the Executive. We nnitt, therefore,
suppose that Ibe arrest was made by the au
thority of the President, and that ibe pro
ceeding* haa rac-dred ibe sanction of the At
torney General of the Ueited 8tat*f.
Jn ter arma silent leges, ia an old maxim, and
we suppose that it is the purpose of tome to
avail themselves of its promotion. But if the
law has loni all its power, it still becomts ns
to remember whet it was, sad to state to the
publio what safeguards we poseeteed under ibe
constitution and the laws brjore our civil rights
n ere abrogated by the svord.
The constitution of the Uoited States, which
tear is now made to uphold, tells us that " the
right of the people to be seeore in tbeir per-
soN, bonne*, papers and effects, against un
reasonable searohee aod seizures, shall not be
violated; and that no warrants shall issue
but upon probable oauee, supported by oath of
affirmation.” And we say plainly, thet the
seizure of Mr. Winona by an officer of the
army, without the issue of any civil prooees,
and his detention In an arnud court by a mil
itary power, is as groer, direct, and palpable
a violation of the constitution as wee ever
committed in the whole history of this coun-
try.
We suppose that the conduct of Geoeral
Andrew Jackson to Judge Hall in 1816 will
one day be alleged to have been a sufficient
precedent for Ibis set. As ws are under ne
political restraint upon tbie subject, we beg
leave to say that the arrest of Judge Hall by
General Jackson was itself an act of arbitrary
power, which was properly punished in the
courts of Inw by the infliction of a heavy fine
upon the General. .Vnd when, in 1812, ap
ptioaiion wa» made to Congress to refund him
the money in view of all ciroutnstancea of the
case, his most devoted friends and partisans
cid not attempt to uphold the legality of ths
act which be bad committed, nor did they
question the authority of iha court to punish
him for hie assumption of illegal authority.
Of those who voted in the Senate of the
Uuited States against the repayment to Gen.
Jackson of the amount of the floe thus impoe*
ed, Mr. Crittenden yet remains We truet
that the day will soon come when be, ntlenst,
reviving his memory of the debate upon Jeck-
son's fine in 1842, will denounce in fitting
terms the illegal application of martial law to
the inhabitants of this State,
*|The administration at Washington aught to
remember thet they cau best rebuke disorder
and revolution by order and adberenoeto law.
They at ngthen every hand raised against
them, and weaken every bend raised in their
support, when they forget for one moment le

RKLHASI OF ROZS WINAlfS, Xt<J.
Ross Winans, Esq., arrested on Tuesday
uigbt, at the Relay House, by order of the ad
ministration, was released yesterday, with
out even an examination. It appears that tbe
charge against him was treason, in having
furnished material aid to Virginia. The charge
waa founded upon mere rumor, in which there
waa no truth. It appears that within an hour
after Jiis arrest, he was taksn to Annapolis by
special train, and there provided with a com
fortable room.
On Wednesday a steam tug wae sent for
m, and he was brought up to Fort McHen
ry, where be was comfortably provided for,
and where he was treated with great courte
sy by tbo oflioers. Ilia release was obtained
through the influence of some personal friends,
upon whose statements Mr. Lincoln ordered
bis releset, through Geu. Scott. Tte order
arrsbt him had been issued to any commis

What they are Fighting For.
Naiuvills, May 9, 1861
To the Editor of the Richmond Whig :
The following extract Is authentic. I en
tertain no doubt of the purpose it indiontee:
“Virginia ie doomed l Mark that t She
ill coiue back into the Union qnioker than
she went out. Do you ask how that will be
done? I will tell you. More than 800,000
sturdy, determined men in New England and
New York have already voted themselves farms
there, and they are going on to take posses
sion. It will then be an easy matter to vote
her back into the Union again.”
Tbe above is an extraot from a letter recent
ly received from one of the best-informed men
the North; and he is really a man of as
much nober-mindedoc*« and careful reflect
tion as almost any man 1 kuow in New Eng
land.
He is also a mnn of wealth and influence,
and oue whom I have always regarded as very
moderate and conservative in bis views. Much
of the letter is in the same atrein of threaten
ing and defianoe, and shows that ths
course ia to be pursued towards all ths sene-
ded Slates. The writer of the letter enter
tains nothing but tbe kindest feeling*, person
ally, toward the person to whom it is writ
ten.
I tend yon (he extract for any prudent use
you may see proper to make of it.
I might add, that tbe writer of tbe letter
is no Abolitionist, never was, always deoided-
ly opposed to it, tut resides ia the North.
[very well I Let ihe robbersoome. They
are welcome to the 809,900 farms, when they
get them.’ If they should happen to fail, why
then 8U9,tM)0 Yankee carcasses may make a
a tolerable substitute for tbe guana which
Lincoln’s blockade cuts off for tbe present.
Tb* question is, whether they shall be the
owners or the fertilizers of Virginia lends.-.
When (key *** ready to decide K let them
come on.—Ed.
